  “Anniversary meal to celebrate. We dropped in yesterday after recommendations from couple of Ashbourne locals and we're not left disappointed. The food was super, a ribeye and a Sunday roast beef. Plenty to go at without being OTT. It took longer to come than your standard pub but I saw that as a good thing as the food was clearly cooked fresh and to high standard. We shared a creme brulee which was equally enjoyable. Staff were nice and friendly and attentive despite the place being full and busy. Definitely pop in again for food or drink when the chance arises in Ashbourne again”

  “We walked in without a reservation on a Sunday late afternoon with our dog. We got seated and served in the bar. It was quiet, comfortable and the food was beautiful. Fresh, hot and yummy. Definitely recommend, a slight wait for food but nothing to worry about.”

  “The food was really nicely cooked. The pie was excellent so tasty. The scoop chips with cheese, haggis, black pudding was great massive portion. Everything we ate was great. Service was top notch as well. Was reasonably priced as well.”

  “First time visit, we have never noticed the pub before in our last few visits to Ashbourne. So glad we did, portions are huge so decided on 2 starters and 2 sides to share instead of mains. BBQ spare ribs for 1( 5 mini ribs), sticky beef in teryiaki sauce, onion rings and dirty scoop chips. All absolutely delicious and beautifully served. Nice spacious dining room and lovely helpful staff. Will be back again”

  “Absolutely amazing food and service. We were staying locally and needed dinner after arriving late. Stumbled across the Bowling Green and was blown away with the food. So much so that we came back on five evenings across our week stay. The steak was incredible, the chicken balmoral was delicious, the dauphinoise potatoes were creamy, sticky toffee pudding was to die for. Honestly cannot fault the food at this lovey local pub. They happily accommodated 8 of us, late on a Sunday! Will 100% be back.”

  “Called for a bit of breakfast whilst watching the gf do the half marathon, pub was very nice inside, ordered the bacon sandwich, came with 5 pieces of bacon! £6.50 so not cheap but worth it. Also they serve beer from 9am I think, plenty of parking over the road, if you're not a dog lover better give the tap end a swerve. Lovely visit”

  “Best customer service in England so far, never seen such well-mannered young staff working in a restaurant. Staff knew the menu very well, and the suggestions were amazing. The food was delicious and fresh. Portions are quite big. We requested a small candle for a birthday, something that is not on the menu. The waitress came with the cake singing happy birthday. How nice and lovely! Thank you to the management for having such a lovely team and a great chef!”

  “Impromptu visit to Ashbourne and ended up here on a Sunday and managed to bag a table. The roast beef was amazing, took its time to come out but worth the wait although my beef was a little too pink for my liking but overall very tasty and good variety of veg and extras. Value for money. The burger was huge and more cheese than expected and the chips were unusual shaped but delicious. Service was a bit slow and not really any atmosphere but would visit again as the food was worth it.”

  “Great place to visit for really good food. As a party of 10 with 4 children we were well served. A range of orders all eaten with virtually 10 empty plates. Well worth the time visiting and eating. Really good service and yes there is waiting time but expect that when served good food.”

  “Went here for our anniversary meal out and it did not disappoint. From the minute we walked in the staff were absolutely outstanding and couldn't do enough for us. They were all extremely friendly, efficient and professional. We had a right laugh with them about something that would take too long to explain, they were brilliant. The food was also exceptional. We had the sticky beef to share to start with, then I had the steak and blue cheese pizza, the wife had the surf and turf pizza and I portion of scoop fries to share, it was all fantastic. Credit to the staff, chefs and management for running a fantastic pub / restaurant.”
