Absolutely fantastic. So fantastic in fact, that I visited twice in one week…read more It's very, very nice inside. Cozy and cottage-y. It seems to be newly renovated. The food is STUNNING. On Boxing Day lunch time I had the special which was roast beef with mash and veg. I want it all over again as I type this. The meat was just outstanding. I also had parsnip soup to start. The soup was so good that I had it again when I returned later in the week. At lunch time again that week I had the traditional favourite sausage and mash. Wow. Just wow. Yummy sausages, creamy mash and crisp green peas. It doesn't get any more home cooked than that. A good selection of beer on tap including my favourite Peroni. There's plenty of parking, an outdoor play area for kids and the staff are always pleasant. This is a place I would return to again and again.

We were in the Ashbourne area and in need of some food.

It was busy today but not quite as full. We went into the lounge and were greeted by very freindly staff. There was a carvery on and at £6.95 each we had to try it. The meat and Yorkshire Pud that were put onto our plate were well cooked and the meat was nice and tender we both went for Pork so I cannot comment on the beef the peices of Pork were a good size and enough meat for any healthy person. We then piled our plates with veg which were all cooked brilliantly and the roast potatos had a hint of garlic. We both cleared our plates and were well and trully stuffed. For drinks I had a Marstons pedigree which was just the right temparature and tasted very good. All in all for under £20 for a meal and a drink I must put this at the top of the list for a Sunday Carvery staff were nice food good and building clean and tidy.
