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.

My husband and I had a lovely meal here. We were made to feel very welcome and we would thoroughly recommend it if you are thinking of going. We will be going back.

Mmmmnnn yummy breakfast food. The big full English is such great value with 4 sausages, 4 bacon, 2 egg, baked beans, hash brown bites, 2 slices of toast, 2 eggs and a grilled tomato plus black pudding! Pancakes were also amazing. Very god brunch!

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.

Had a truly delicious afternoon tea here. Everything freshly prepared and delicious and there was lots of it. Staff looked after us exceedingly well. If you are in the area worth a visit.

Lovely little country pub serving a wonderful Sunday Lunch. Thank you to Janice for such a warm welcome. An absolute delight of a place and will definitely be returning. Great value and the lamb was wonderfully tender. Thank you.

Thank you so much to Sue for Ernie’s pupachino today he loved it and our hot chocolates were delicious too ❤️ will definitely be back!!

We came to the Machine Inn on the 28th of March with friends for my husbands Birthday and the staff was very friendly and food was amazing. After our meal we stayed at the Machine Boutique Hotel across the road and all I can say is we will defiantly be coming back it was a fantastic night.

Fantastic service , the beer garden had just been cleaned by Ash the new landlord , great selection of drinks and Jay on the bar was really good and helped me carry drinks to the table, lovely bar, lovely staff we will return with friends

Delightful food, good quality, well prepared and presented, very interesting selection too.

Came here as it looked like a nice little cafe from the outside. Ordered a full English breakfast and most of it was cold. I’m sure it was already cooked and attempted to be reheated and failed. When I placed the order the lady serving didn’t really know what was going on either. Won’t be going back

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.

We booked in for a Friday evening as we were staying on the Landal site. There was only one staff member and one staff - so they had only opened a limited number of tables - glad we booked. The menu was limited but the food was lovely and we really enjoyed it - and the lady serving was very friendly and attentive despite being on her own and busy. A lovely setting.

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.
