The tap room is a place for our guests to enjoy anything from a pint of perfectly kept Timothy Taylor's Landlord to a glass of Nyetimber Classic Cuvee. Our dog friendly bar area offers the comfort of choice from speciality cocktails and premium spirits, to our concise but carefully selected ever changing wine list including over 20 wines served by the glass, with the additional option of our small plates and bar snacks menu.
In the dining room, expect refined, unpretentious cooking with wonderful ingredients. Set back from the bustling bar, diners can enjoy a meal in a secluded and cosy atmosphere. The menu is entirely seasonal and changes on a regular basis, as frequently as daily. The emphasis is on simplicity, with local, seasonal, and top-quality produce at the heart.

Very nice indeed, found it completely by accident after a failed walk due to flooding! Welcomed 6 people & 3 dogs, all wet. Small selection of excellent ales, house red was very good, small but beautifully formed menu using locally sourced produce where possible. Home made bread! No vegetarian or vegan options listed, I didn't ask because they had excellent fish and seafood options. Reasonably priced.

The starters were delicious, the mains were a bit disappointing. We visited last week and had high expectations due to the reviews, left slightly disappointed overall. Staff were nice, mixologist wasn’t in so no one else trained to make cocktails too. Dog friendly but only in the bar. Didn’t book a table but they were kind to seat us.

An excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were attentive and efficient. Lovely negroni cocktail, and water provided for the table without having to ask. The food was exquisite. Perfect balance of… flavours in every course. We had a good view of the kitchen and it was a pleasure to watch the preparation. Don't hesitate to book in, you won't be disappointed.

Ordered the Fritto Misto and fillet steak.
Salad uninventive/lazy (chunk of gem lettuce, tomato, cucumber. No dressing)
Battered fish- bland.
One piece of fish was full of bones.
Same salad with the steak.
Watery peppercorn sauce (had to add a lot of salt).
The food was ok but in general missed the mark flavour wise therefore not worth the price. Where is the money going?
The service however was very attentive. Particularly the tall guy (restaurant manager I think).
Probably wouldn't return which is a shame because the menu sounds really good.

Excellent. We visited for drinks twice while on holiday in Ashbourne and it was great.
Service at the bar was superb. Very polite, very fast and made conversation with you.
The decor is excellent. Absolutely spotless. Live entertainment added a load of atmosphere too.
The drinks were pricey of course but the spirits are all premium and there's a big choice.
However you really need to stock Jack Daniels. I've never been anywhere in my life that doesn't serve it and Makers Mark is a bad replacement.

Stunning food and friendly staff!
Absolutely fantastic, if I could give 6 stars I would.
I had the black pudding starter and duck leg, my partner had the mozarella starter with the duck leg as well. We were given sone complementary hot hot hot bread and butter.
The food was brilliantly presented and absolutely delicious. I wish I had space for pudding!

I have visited |the Green Man regularly, though not often, over the years and came across adecen's review when I was preparing to take a visitor there for Sunday lunch last week.. I thought it must have changed out of all recognition but decided to go anyway & see for myself. We had an excellent lunch as usual and the staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. It is not a 'smart' pub, which is good for the many walkers who use it, but it is a friendly local, well supported by its regular customers, which provides good basic food at reasonable prices.
