The best restaurants serving British food in Ashover North East Derbyshire East Midlands

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

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.
