The best restaurants in Ashbourne North Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

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.

It is a nice , clean and cosy restaurant.Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We mainly ordered pizza's and it was delicious. I ordered wild mushroom risotto but unfortunately what I got was just rice and mushrooms. I was disappointed with my food and regret ordering it.

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.

been to Ashbourne loads of times.... our first time here, which will not be the last we both had panninis,, generously filled with real tasty food.... generous side salad, although i requested Fries on mine instead of salad...GOT BOTH .. no complaint MRS. commented on the extremely clean toilets

Liked it a lot. Ginger flapjack? A splendid idea! Tasted delicious. Great pot of tea, nice feel to the place, friendly service. Let us charitably assume the name of the cafe is an abbreviation of "For coffee" and not a subliminal insult to tourists..... ! Great place.

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.

Welcoming and friendly service, just the place to enjoy a drink/bite to eat either before or after your walk.

Very cosy and welcoming lounge, comfortable inside seating with some outside seating to the front next to the road and in the alley. I went for a coffee and piece of cake, the lounge is an ongoing project at the moment (toilet refurbishment).

Excellent meal never had a bad one from here had one tonight for 4 people it was Excellent and a g8 price

Having visited this cafe a few times over the past year or so, and been happy with the food and service, I found today's visit very disappointing. Even allowing for the fact that the place was busy, there was no welcome, tables were not being cleared quickly and after around ten minutes waiting for service and seeing a couple who had just arrived being attended to, I was left with the distinct impression that my custom was not welcome. In the end, I walked out and found an alternative artesan bread shop on the market place which did a delicious, freshly-made sandwich and cafe latte at a reasonable price. I think today's wasted effort at Birds in Ashbourne will be my last.

I have been to this store many times for drink in and take out and been literally marched out as I had my dogs . My other regular costa was dog friendly as long as I ordered and then sat outside . This one eventually served me at the door. Almost every other cafe in Ashbourne allows dogs so why not Costa? I won't use Costa again .

Our food was very tasty, but could have been hotter. I think this was due to the cool air in the cafe and exposed position of the food counter rather than the chef. The coffee was excellent. Both arrived quickly, but tables do need clearing sooner. The staff were very helpful when I requested gluten free bread. However we changed tables three times. The green benches facing the window were far too narrow; I didn’t wish to perch on my seat whilst eating. I then sat on a chair at table 18. When my coffee arrived I put my feet down to move closer to the table. It immediately tipped forward knocking my coffee over me. Table 6 was comfortable but I wouldn’t usually sit close to the toilets. So a mixed experience.

Lovely comfortable accomodation in a central location. The pub downstairs seems more suited to locals than visitors. The room was comfortable, warm and with extremely good housekeeping.
