Restaurant at Bramhall's of Ashbourne

Bramhall's of Ashbourne can be found just a stone's throw from the town's historic market place. Originally a traditional coaching inn, it is now a welcoming AA rosette restaurant with bedrooms that have been awarded four AA stars. The interior reflects the history of the 250-year-old building but offers a blend of period features and contemporary style.

You could stop by at Bramhall's for a bite at the bar or enjoy a drink in the Edwardian drawing room.

The chef uses fresh local ingredients to create simple seasonal dishes such as red mullet and scallops with summer vegetable nage; a main course of locally reared lamb rump accompanied by red onion tarte tatin, lamb faggot, and minted new potatoes, and a dessert of pannacotta poached rhubarb and shortbread. The menu is complemented by an ever-changing specials board that showcases fresh fish and local speciality dishes.

Fine wines, local ale, and spirits complement the food well.
