Ashmores

I came for the Game Evening with a friend for my birthday last night. The food was delicious - all 4 courses. The choices of meat were brilliant as was the quality since it was sourced from a local butchers. The variety of sauces/ jus and veg bowls added to the taste and balance of each dish. Brilliant gamey style red wine/ fruity jus. I'm surprised they had 2 duck dishes instead of one being venison? I had to send my partridge back as it was too rare for me. But that was quickly rectified with a replacement meal - not microwaved so that's a huge bonus! Also, the Argentinian Malbec (18) was perfect and wasn't acidic either. Atmosphere gets a 3 because the restaurant was just under half full so it was reasonably quiet. Service a four - food came quickly, but between course 1/2, a bit too quickly. Also, one of the waitresses spilled some wine on the table cover but was very apologetic. Music, room and decor are very dated. All the waitresses and the manageress were really friendly and hospitable. A brilliant experience with great British food.

Sunday Lunch at Ashmores is always good - delicious home-cooked meals without the washing up. Proper food made with love and care, and quality ingredients. I've been to this family-run restaurant numerous times and it's always a lovely experience; from the warm greeting when you walk through the door until you say goodbye, and they make an amazing Sunday roast! The goats-cheese & pumpkin soup starter looked and tasted scrumptious. The roast beef was cooked perfectly - super tender, served with a generous helping of all the trimmings and the baked vanilla cheesecake & profiterole desserts were seriously delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. It's a real all-rounder. My Mum already booked a return visit to celebrate a 'big' birthday in December.

This is a resteraunt we have been going to for several years and never once been disappointed. We have been twice since the lockdown for Sunday lunch and in our opinion the food is excellent as before. The family and staff are very helpful and obliging. Would recommend this resteraunt to anyone who loves good food. We will be visiting many times in the future. Pete Hutchby

Amazing, blown away by the service and attentiveness of the staff. All of the food was delicious and hot all delivered to our 5 tables seemlessly and impeccably. Can't fault the team. We had a wonderful evening celebrating with family in a delightful setting and will definitely be revisiting again soon. Thank you
