EATING OUT
There are other pubs nearby but these are our favourites and booking ahead is a must. Our Visitor Guide is downloadable and has more suggestions for pubs and places to eat. If you’re planning on cooking over the BBQ there is an excellent Game/Fishmongers in Ashbourne, good independant butchers and greengrocers. There is also an M&S Food and Sainsbury’s which will stay open the usual Bank holiday hours.
