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.
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.

One of the best restaurants we have been to. Staff very pleasant and friendly.
Amazing food and service!
A true family business,where everything is prepared and served by Mark and his wife Jo. Lovely people putting their heart to what their doing!
Food was amazing.
The staff were really attentive and friendly.
We were in company with a chef who trained at Clarridges, who was most impressed with the quality of food and outstanding value for money.
Its a must go to restaurant for all good food lovers
Food was great and will definitely be coming back again, although what made the experience worth while was the kindest pot washer I have ever encountered in my life he was so sweet and genuine and made mine and my families time there one to never forget!
Have been several times with friends and always enjoyed the evening. Tonight was a specialist French evening and the food was excellent - I had pork in calves and the others had the duck in a cherry sauce. Service was excellent without being obtrusive and the price was very reasonable.
We enjoyed a delicious meal with friends yesterday evening. The menu was varied with some interesting choices - not just your standard fare. The service was very friendly and efficient. I do enjoy having a tablecloth and vegetables served in dishes! Nothing too much trouble. Would recommend.
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
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.
