The best restaurants in Ashbourne South Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

I used to like this place and used over other local establishments in the area. I ordered a bacon baguette on this occasion to drive home 8 miles and eat my sandwich to find half way through eating there was chicken inside it... bonus if you like chicken... but myself can’t stand it and makes me ill eating it. So we rang up stating of what happened and no real offer for money back or anything. So for people who have allergies with white meat... beware as the woman stated “we cook all meat in one pan” won’t be back again... shocking.

I enjoyed a lovely smoked mackeral salad with capers. Very tasty and fresh. The lady was happy to provide a side order of bread to accompany this, which was much appreciated.

Great quality food and coffees. Staff were really friendly and helpful and seemed happy to be there. Such a nice experience we ate here 2 days in a row and will be back next time we visit Ashbourne 🥰

I've been coming here for about 25 years, back when 'Benny' ran the place almost single handedly. food is good and tasty, and has stayed consistent over the years. pizza very cheesy, and most times base is nice and crispy. a firm favourite with the locals, so I'd advise calling up to ask how busy they are and/or order in advance. chicken and chips is always pretty good value (ask about the prawn sauce!).

Very nice food. Tasty, well cooked and presented. Good service. Well priced. We'd go back if we found ourselves in Ashbourne again. Only negative was that we found the piped music a little loud.

Perfect place for families. Staff very friendly. My kids really enjoyed painting their creations. It was good value too and kept my children busy on a rainy day. Would definitely recommend. The gift shop is beautiful too. 5 stars

The cakes looked so good from the window. Went in and asked for cornflake slice and a frangipani. The young man didn’t listen to me because when I got home there was no cornflakes slice. So disappointed.

No one answers the phone, they don't send the delivery orders and if you do go in they're rude. Reading replies from subway on other reviews they always ask for you to call the store, no one picks up

The food wasn't amazing immediately made me sick the next morning and we were waiting 1 hour 15 minutes and he made us order 3 cans to cover delivery they were 1.25 each even though it said free delivery we ended up not getting are cans and paid 80p more for delivery than needed they didn't put salt or vinegar on are chips even tho we requested it at he was rude towards us over the phone and we will definitely not be ordering from here ever again one of the worst takeaways we have ever ordered from

We called for coffee and scones. A group of 4 ladies. The coffee was great but the demeanour and attitude of one of the ladies was dreadful. I don’t understand why folk who really don’t like people would choose to work in hospitality.

Decent fish and chips. Popped in last night on my way past and had mini fish and chips £7.50. Nice and hot and quick service too.

We usually get the chicken tikka masala and pilau rice which is usually great but there’s been a few times the chicken tikka has came and tasted very off. Enough to put you of eating it.

Typical english breakfast, decent quality and reasonably priced- clean cafe but busy at the time We went so speed of service was not the fastest

Great staff. Good band playing when I visited.
