Ashbourne Restaurants

This place never disappoints. We’ve been dining here for a few years now, mainly for ‘special’ occasions due to the cost, but it’s worth every penny. The quality of food served is exceptional and some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The service is always excellent with the perfect level of attentiveness. Can’t wait for our next visit. A little hidden gem!

First visit & won’t be my last. First time my son has come with us to a decent restaurant, 11 years old he had mussels, sirloin and a chocolate fondant. Loved everything he ate. Comte gougere- phenomenal!! Snacks through to dessert all cooked & presented well, can tell they use quality ingredients and have a kitchen team that can cook. Servers all polite and friendly. As a chef it’s hard to go out to eat and enjoy it however the Duncombe arms delivered great food, friendly unintrusive service at good value (£75 each snacks, 3 courses with service charge and tip too)

We arrived earlier than our booking and was seared straight away, it was busy but was very appreciated. Food hit and excellent. The time we arrived was as one menu was finishing and another starting, but we chose what we wanted and it was accommodated. Was a festive feel with lovely tree decorated and nice treats to buy. The staff were welcoming and was lovely and cosy inside from the cold outdoors. Highly recommended for all, including the doggy visitors. Definitely be back.. again.

Lovely place, amazing food and great friendly service, a special Birthday lunch with the family, 5 star, well done to The Team at the Star

Excellent Experience. Friendly and attentive despite being busy. Lots of delicious food to choose from and all very tasty. Would definitely return.
