“Lovely staff and good food. We went with a party of 8 and the staff were very accommodating and you should definitely book ahead with a big party. The food was good with the recommendation of the lamb kofta flatbread being the tastiest one. Dog friendly pub.”

“Went for Boxing Day carvery and it was amazing! The dining room looked gorgeous and had a beautiful big tree. The food was so delicious and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. We had never been out for a Boxing Day dinner before and we are so glad we picked the Oak. Cannot fault and will definitely be booking up for next year. Thankyou to all the staff for working on Boxing Day and making it fantastic for everyone who went there.”

“Absolutely loved our meal here, we stopped in for lunch after a long rainy walk, greeted with a lit fire and cosy surroundings. The food was scrumptious, and I only wish our visit was longer as we were tempted by so many of the dishes! The staff were wonderful and so friendly. I would highly recommend The Old Dog and would happily visit again in future!”

“The food here was outstanding! Quality and quantity were 20/10. There was 7 of us and all the meals were very well enjoyed, such an interesting and diverse menu to chose from, pizza, traditional mains, Asian style foods, and the meat rack things, and burgers. Super cosy and quirky inside with lots of fairy lights and a blossom tree! I had the cabin chicken burger and cambert sharer, and both were amazing. I was gutted to be full for pudding. We ordered using the app, and it was delivered quickly despite being busy, but be careful we did end up some meals at the wrong time as we didn't do it right on the app. Big car park available, and the toilets were nice and clean and quirky with a rustic theme. Excellent choices of wines and beers, and we didn't have one, but I saw some of the cocktails, and wow, they looked incredible. They were huge and came with sweets, lol”

“A genuinely lovely country pub, so much character and a charming atmosphere. If you can get one of the armchairs by the fire on a winter's evening it's amazing. The food is excellent, it's known for its pie menu but it's all good. I recommend the venison and red wine pie particularly.”

“This place is a little gem. Booked short notice for an evening meal (20:45) and they were able to fit us in. The staff were very friendly and clearly appreciated regulars as well as new guests, the venue is clean, tidy and well decorated. The menu had some great dishes with unique twists (I had the Pizza/chicken burger) such as the haggis and chips (cheese too). Desserts were outstanding also. Highly recommended.”

“We stayed in a hive with our 2 dogs also taking advantage of the hibernation package (pizzas, wine and breakfast delivered to your hive). On arrival our luggage and myself were whisked off up the track in a buggy whilst the dogs were walked up - the walk is pleasant but steep in some places. All fine in the dry but I would imagine it getting muddy and maybe slippy in the wet. The hive was well presented including dogs beds, bowls and a toy for each of the boys. There is WiFi with excellent coverage and speed - we saw 250Mb download speeds! Our pizzas arrived on time and were excellent - could not fault them. After a good nights sleep a hamper was delivered to the door with breakfast. All was very good - would recommend”

There was literally nothing more we could have asked for from our stay thank you Oakhill.”

“Still going, again and again, as promised; this remains the stand-out best place to eat (IMHO) in Ashbourne! Excellent; no other word for it! Despite living locally for some time, we have never dined here - regretting that now!! One of the best dinning experiences for some considerable time. The interior looks fresh and modern; the staff are utterly professional in everything they do (well trained / very experienced); the food is exceptional in flavour, presentation, and is delivered on hot plates; finally, the menu is seasonal, so expect the dishes to change - Spring, Summer, and Autumn. As I always say: get yourself along, whether local or just passing through … I know we’ll be going again, and again! 😉”
