The best restaurants serving British food in Ashbourne North Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

I happened upon this wonderful coffee shop by chance, I was cycling in the area and needed calories, I am so glad I found it. The service was excellent the varied choices superb I went for the overnight oats which were delicious. I will always use local independent cafes whenever I am visiting anywhere, I am not a chain regular. The cakes all looked home made as did the all the fare on offer, I spoke to a lovely gentleman who served my food and told him I loved his place. I managed to complete my ride before they closed so popped in for some cake before returning home, suffice to say it was outstanding the carrot cake did not disappoint, it will be my go to now should I return to Ashbourne, I just wish I had it on my doorstep, it is that good. I loved the decor and the ambiance it is a place you feel at home in, which is a difficult quality to acquire in establishments nowadays. The staff and all concerned facilitate this, I so hope this is still here when I next visit.

Lovely independent bakery. We had 2 sandwiches to take away. They were very good. Ciabatta and top quality fillings for a very reasonable price. The sausage roll was amazing. Friendly service. Will definitely return when in the area again.

Excellent as usual I had three courses definitely the best restaurant in the area the food was very tasty the service and staff are friendly would highly recommend been coming 10 yrs never had a bad meal

The friendly, dog-welcoming atmosphere, paired with the thoughtful service like biscuits for your dog, really adds to the charm. The pub's popularity, evident by the booked tables, and the tempting menu make it clear that you'll want to book ahead next time. A classic cozy pub experience, especially with such attention to both customers and their pets!

Whilst I cannot fault the quality of the food, the lack of toilet facilities causes me a major problem. Previously when we have visited here we were able to use the toilets belonging to the pub next door. Having mobility problems and on medication , I politely asked if it would be possible to use the staff WC. This was refused and I was told to use the public toilets which were a considerable distance away. It took me a very painful 25 minute walk to go there and back.I am 85 years old, leaning heavily on a walking stick . I feel very disappointed as i have visited this fish shop many times in the past.

Looking for good material ideas for a prom dress .Betty’s Sewing Box is a real Alladins cave of beautiful materials for sewing, knitting or crocheting. My 15 year old Granddaughter has just started to do her own clothing designs after her work experience at David Nieper Fashions. She was amazed at not just the materials but the trimmings and patterns even for beginners. The lady there took time to talk to her. It is a great place, can’t wait to go back. The cafe there is lovely and it has its own car park. It has a great workroom at the rear. Fantastic.

We’ve been for breakfast this morning and would like to say that it was exceptional, good quality bacon & sausage, eggs done to perfection , all piping hot and a lovely cup of tea and all for £10 each , definitely be returning

Best flapjack in Derbyshire ! Lovely service with a smile and time for a chat. A brilliant place to stop and enjoy the countryside and we only live 4 miles away?!!

Lovely building and the atmosphere was great. Staff helpful & attentive. The menu is so limited though. The veggie option of beetroot was more of a starter than a main. The burger did not look or taste homemade. It doesn’t say online where they get them from. Most places in the area give some heritage information. Only two non alcoholic cocktails seems odd. They’re a great way to make profit of drinks. It lacked finesse. A wince glass and two standard straws in was a tad awkward.Ginger, lime and cranberry had no cranberry juice but actual berries floating all sad on the top. I was largely put off my seeing one of the Chefs eating bread while finishing off plates on the pass. All staff should have a dinner but not while making customers dinners. I really wanted to love this place and will go back for drinks but unlikely to eat unless they improve the menu.

Through the years we have seen many people take over The Bridge it has been a shame to see people move on so fast. The new owner has really worked hard to give the place a new lease of life. As soon as you walk in you're greeted by a beautiful doggie and she is a very happy and friendly lady. The owner and staff are lovely to speak to and very attentive. You can tell he's put in a lot of work to turn The Bridge around, it's a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. My partner and I nipped in for some lunch and a drink and we couldn't fault the food it was filling and delicious and arrived at our table in great time. The food is great value for money. Overall we had a very pleasant visit and will definitely be coming back regularly. I 100% recommend popping in.

waited 45 minutes for lunch - clearly it had been sitting for awhile- chips cold and dry, vegan burger overcooked and dry. bun stale, soup lukewarm and was supposed to be tomato but was carrot- in all a bad experience.

We tried this cafe for a quick snack as it was very close to our accommodation. My wife's sausage in a bread roll was served cold and my Panini was OK but with far too much Pesto and not enough of the other ingredients. The Iced Lime Tea was very good. The service was absolutely bonkers. On ordering the Iced Tea one of the staff left the premises and returned with bags of ice. Although our order had been written down they had to write it down again to work out our bill. Two young students at an adjacent table were handed the pad and pen to write down their own orders. An older gentleman who initially appeared to be a customer suddenly became a member of staff. He got quite annoyed because he couldnt find a pen to write down an order - the same pen another member of staff had given to the students. He then cleared a table and dropped all the cutlery. It was all rather hilarious - but not actually good value. We didnt return. (PS Cafe Impromptu is wonderful)

Drove here from Buxton. Stopped and had Breakfast it was great place, it was having some work done. Still it was lovely all the same.

Great location, we were lucky with the weather so ate outside. Sara was lovely. Small menu but we all found something we liked. Great value food. Will be back

4 of us staying in a nearby cottage called in for an evening meal.We hadn't booked, but we're given a nice table in the small bar,near the woodburner. We ordered from the simple menu, and all enjoyed their chosen meal. The draught beer went down well too. The prices were very resonable, main course probably average £10, that's good There days. There was a nice buzz in the bar, we'd go there again no problem.
