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.

Me and my partner Pete went in Sunday 17th November 2024 for a full English Breakfast it was absolutely beautiful best in a very long while. Staff were very pleasant and checked to make sure everything was alright with our meal. Lovely friendly atmosphere and decor was very very clean and well presented. Such a lovely wide selection of foods and patisserie’s Thankyou.

Chose from the amazing selection on the Specials Board and it did not disappoint - I can confirm it tasted as good as it looks!! - Crispy Halloumi, Moroccan Couscous, Mint Yogurt, Pomegranate Molasses & Flatbread. ❤️🍽️🫖

Absolutely banging pizza, staying at Sandybrook lodges and ordered a couple of pizzas for the group, deep dish, an almost absurd amount of toppings and delicious, I'm actually gutted we are going home at the end of the week as I'm eyeing up the rest of their menu and won't get a chance to try more.

Wht a load of rubbish, wasn’t worth £5 never mind £30+

Called in for a lamb kebab. Only to be told we couldn’t pay by card. Managed to order online in the shop. Paid extra for the kebab to be on a garlic naan bread. This turned out to be a tortilla wrap. Which fell apart and was so thin it couldn’t hold the kebab meat. Everything else was ok. Won’t bother returning.

Zadie is veer nise and food good

I have used this place for years. The guys are attentive, friendly and willing. The food is fantastic the best curry and kebab you can get locally.

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.

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.

Really lovely place. We are visiting from Devon and stopped here for breakfast before heading to Alton Towers and had a great visit. Really helpful and friendly staff and tasty food

Gorgeous food and a great choice on the kids' menu! Everything tasted really fresh and great quality ingredients. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. We even left my sons water bottle behind, and they are keeping it to one side for when we return! 😆🙈
