Saturday lunch with friends, and someone had recommended the Duncombe Arms. What a find. A lovely building, beautifully decorated. The staff were welcoming and efficient. The food was lovely. We mixed between brunch menu and lunch menu, resulting in odd combinations, but that didnât matter. Delicious. Highly recommended.

We love Ashbourne, its not far from home and we visit on a regular basis. However, we have never until recently been for an evening meal. We had walked past the Lamplight before and liked what we saw so it was an obvious choice. We went on a busy night and they were fully booked so it's wise on busy days to book in advance. Staff were very pleasant and I loved their gluten-free menu - they just put a tick or a cross against what was or could be gluten-free and the odd comment where applicable.The food was really tasty and cooked as you would wish - they even had gluten free bread which is a really nice touch.Price-wise a bit higher than I would expect but not to an extent that we were put off.

Myself and my husband love visiting here and decided to go for Sunday lunch. I eventually had the vegetable lasagne with chips and salad and my husband had the beef Sunday roast.Both of our dishes were polished off and with the friendly service that we received topped it off nicely.I would highly advice that you book in advance as this is a very popular restaurant.Thank you for taking the time write a review for The Saracens Head. We are pleased that you had a lovely visit and enjoyed your menu choices. We will be certain to pass your regards onto all our team. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Booked a table here on the strength of the TA. reviews and so pleased we did. Accomplished cooking from starter through to dessert for three satisfied customers.Class in the detail like the addition of herring to a smoked fish salad,delicious. The addition of leek to the mash potato and the horseradish to the ox cheek again delicious. The homemade vanilla ice cream was top quality. A foodies' delight this pub and friendly service, whats not to like.Dear Sheepclan,Many thanks for the taking the time to write us such a lovely review! We are very lucky to have such great feedback on TripAdvisor. Our team work really hard to maintain the high standards we set ourselves so it's always good to know that we are living up to expectations. We do hope you come and see us again should you be visiting the area,All best wishes,Henrietta

My husband booked for 7 people over 2 months ago as a 30th birthday celebration for one of our friends. Upon arrival the new bar, despite its overly quirky & bizarre seating was warm & welcoming. At the time of booking obviously the previous tasting menu was showcased on their website which included a wine flight like most tasting menus. 2 of our friends had been at least 3 times before & had a wine flight as well as myself and my husband who had, had the same. When we sat down we mentioned to the lady serving us about the wine flight but to our disappointment we were informed they weren't doing one. One of our party explained that we had booked our table a good few months ago expecting the wine flight based on all our other visits and asked if they could do something similar for us. The waitress went to ask the manageress who came over and proceeded to repeat over and over that she could recommend wines to us but we would have to buy our own bottles for every course and no deal could be supplied similar to the price of the wine flight we had been expecting. My husband explained to her that he had booked the table expecting the wine flight as everytime we've been they've done one and the previous months menu on the website had one at a price of £40. The manageress then, in a very condescending tone told my husband "we dont do a wine flight for £40 sir, its £48" totally missing any point that was being made and focusing on my husbands £8 mistake. She also behaved like expecting a wine flight was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. She then proceeded to argue in a flappy and high pitched voice and roll her eyes behind my husbands back much to the shock of the rest of the party. The whole situation was handled very poorly and seemed to pave the way for an expensive mediocre evening. The food was nice, it wasn't amazing. I really enjoyed the venison but the puddings were not for me. The balance of the cheesecake was totally off, over sweet and sharp & left by most of our party. When I visited before the whole experienced floored me as can be seen by my previous review. It was such a special experience and one I had raved about to everyone. We had friends up from London and were so excited to take them here but sadly this time was nothing like last time. We spent £850 last night on a very flat evening. Compliments to our waitress Michelle who managed to pull it back for us customer service wise. I'm sad to say I wont be returning anytime soon.
