The best restaurants in Ashover North East Derbyshire East Midlands

We came here mid-walk for lunch and were just in awe of the wonderfully kind and cheerful staff who provided us with a warm welcome and delicious food whilst also running a busy Post Office! Cakes are fabulous too. We were visiting in 'Twixtmas' and would recommend anyone visiting at a similarly busy time to book as it is rightly very popular with tourists and locals alike.

Wonderful food and service, which, quite rightly, is in high demand!

visited today (12th Jan) for Sunday lunch for my sisters birthday. just to say the food was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly the only downside was due to the larger portions we had no room for pudding will definitely be going again many thanks Mr friend 👍

Great shop, lovely staff, cute cafe and lovely homemade, homegrown grub.

Despite website saying it was open today it wasn’t. I looked at the web site and it clearly states that the cafe is open today Friday 19th April. Please can you keep your customers updated on your opening times

Friendly welcome & comfortable inside seating. We called for a nice pot of tea & not disappointed. Big tea pot, extra hot water, & only £2.20 for two people. Good menu offered. Home cooked food. Farm shop small but has a good selection of fresh veg & assorted home made pies.

Nice place to meet for coffee and lunch. Friendly staff and good food

Had the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had !!

Went for Christmas dinner Soup cold, no Brussels, no peas, presentation off food awful. Roast potatoes the size of a small marble. Got chucked off table without having fourth course, as they took too long between first and second course therefore making them late for second sitting. Avoid

I booked a table for four to enjoy a traditional Christmas Day dinner. The menu was online and I emailed my requirements and preferences ahead of the visit. The three course meal was set for 2.00pm and we arrived early by 1.00pm. After buying a pre dinner round of drinks we were shown to our table and relaxed into the afternoon. The head waitress Lily asked if we would like to eat sooner than 2.00pm so that was a big plus. Nick is the landlord and also the chef and the three courses were of excellent taste and surprisingly plentiful, with the original requirements sent in the email carried out to the letter. With a good selection of drinks and a varied and interesting menu overseen by friendly and knowledgeable staff I recommend this hostelry, which is set in the historic Derbyshire village of Ashover, as being well worth a visit.

Have been going to the Miners arms for 20+ years and have never been disappointed with the food always good quality and the staff are very friendly. We both had the steak and mushroom pie today it was very tasty and the vegetables were delicious. Always have a good real ale on hand pump. The pudding's are very nice as well I had the plum crumble and my partner had the Guinness cake that was really good. Always busy need to in advance.

I want to be honest and say everything was perfect, in which the food was more than perfect…. but unfortunately there is lack of communication with managers, staff & customer care. The food was absolutely amazing, well done to the chefs and kitchen staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The restaurant was of high standard and very spacious and overall relaxing. Tables are spread out perfectly. 👍 The only down side was that the assistant manager took our order, then disappeared didn’t ask about any allergies so I had to ask a waitress to check with the kitchen for nuts. Before ordering any food we ordered Oysters and the wine whilst we looked over the menu. After looking over the menu (10-15mins later) we then decided to ordered the starters and mains… within 5 mins the oysters and starters all came out together 😬 mentioned to the young waiter that we wanted the oysters first he just grunted and put all the plates down on the table. So that was that 😬 so the warm scallop starter went cold whilst we ate the oysters. It seemed that there’s no organisation or consistency of who is doing what, we didn’t have the same waitress/waiter it was a free for all. No- one asked if the meals were ok, which to be honest you would expect one of the restaurant managers that are hanging around to approach the customers and ask if everything was okay. I have mention the above to the restaurant manager afterwards - so hopefully they get organised and up their customer care because the food was absolutely amazing. Overall we would come back as the food was superb ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came for a drink in the evening . It was cosy with the fire on . It has a nice atmosphere and good choice of beers . We didn’t have any food.

My grandparents recommended this place to us as they said the roast dinners were really good, so we visited at the weekend with them and our children. We ordered four roast dinners and two kids meals. The portion sizes were huge and the food was amazing! The meat was cooked to perfection and it came with huge homemade Yorkshire puddings. There was enough on our plates to take home and have a second meal the following day! It was great value for money and the food tasted amazing, the staff were friendly and we were extremely pleased with the whole experience, would definitely recommended!
