The best restaurants in Brailsford Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

We have been waiting to come here for a good while and so were very pleased to try the festive menu. Service is very friendly and slick; the decor is simple and elegant and, most importantly, every course is delicate, delicious and beautifully presented. You get what you pay for. Our only criticisms are that all of the savoury courses were served warm to tepid. And, it was extremely (and I do mean extremely) noisy in there. I realise that this is hard to control, but it was so loud that we could barely hear each other speak and we were practically shouting across the table. So, it is worth bearing in mind that it is certainly not the place for a quiet and intimate meal. That said, definitely worth a try.

This place is a hidden gem. Beautiful. So chilled and relaxing. Fantastic atmosphere. Food really good. Live music good. All round excellent evening out.

Well it’s a “wow, wow, wow” from me. Run by the students on their City & Guilds Catering course a simply stunning 3 course meal with coffee for just £13.95. It’s set in the new build Longfield Academy but do not be put off by that. Yes there are kids around but the environment is tranquil and thoughtfully constructed with plants providing an ambience which makes it difficult to believe you are surrounded by a 1,000 plus teenagers at school. Only available term time but definitely worth a visit.

Little gem of a pub. We stopped in on the way home and had no idea what to expect but the staff were really friendly, the pub was cozy with a roaring fire and the food was fantastic. Can't fault this place at all.

Lovely place to have a quiet coffee and good breakfast

This pub/restaurant had amazing service and gave us top quality food in quick time. It was awesome food especially for my own birthday week!!

Came as part of a group of approx 17. We had pre booked for a Christmas meal, and had also given our meal choices ahead of time. The service was terrible/slow in the extreme (As in we were waiting over 1.5 hours between starters and mains - we had booked for a 2pm lunch, our mains came out at 4.30pm). Some dishes were missed, one pre- booked dish they didn't have. The food came out somewhere between completely cold and lukewarm. Unsurprising really when we were told they were plating 45 mins before the dishes started arriving. Some of us had finished before others even had their food on every single course. Even dessert took 20 minutes to arrive after we were told they were ready and on their way. Nothing was particularly tasty either to make the wait worthwhile. Awarding 2 stars as opposed to 1 as the manager(?) didn't charge us full price as we were so unhappy with our experience.

Staff were lovely and friendly. We had a great meal, a perfect stop. I would recommend this pub.

The fish and chips here vastly improved my impression of Ashbourne! Arrived at the zero food hour of 2pm on an August summer afternoon. After finding several places closed and not serving food we stumbled into the oasis of the Greenman hotel! Had amazing fish and chips and a pint or two of Estrella! It was very tasty and just what we needed. Keep it up all at the Greenman! Thanks - I'm ready for a sleep now - I understand that they have accommodation too! Highly recommend IMHO.
