Ashlea

Visited late Oct 2023 You can use you Tesco's Club Card points - worth double the money at Chef and Brewer. Lovely pub/restaurant. Food was lovely - we had a steak and ale pie; a Cajun chicken burger, and the chef made a non-spicy chicken burger for us (which wasn't on the menu). It's a lovely, cosy place, with different seating sections, and good decor. Staff were all very friendly and efficient. It wasn't busy, although, we had booked, anyway. We did go quite early, around 5pm. Car parking is free but MUST be validated with your reg number when you go in the pub. There is seating outside, by the car park. Not a beer garden, as such, but still good to sit out on a warm day. The meals with 2 rounds of drinks (3 people) came to around £70, but I had converted £14 worth of Tesco's Club Card vouchers into Chef and Brewer rewards, which doubled the amount, equalling £28 off the meal. Fantastic!

It was a quiet Monday early evening, and the kitchen was due to close at 7:30 for staff training. We just had time for a two course dinner and a pint. There were plenty of vegan options, including the specials, and the food was all good. A decent butternut squash soup, mains of gnocchi, and a particularly tasty mushroom pie. All washed down well with a well kept ale. The service from Megan and Ryan was excellent, thoughtful and well timed. Will be back again

Twice recently I've had a brilliant meal off the lunch menu, perfectly cooked and soooo tasty. I think it's called salmon Florentine, definitely worth trying! I was served by Ryan who is so friendly and helpful, although I find everyone there is also friendly. I've been going in the Ashley for many years, celebrating family milestones and I like the quiet ambience, with background music that isn't intrusive when you want to talk to the people you're with. And the coffee is one of the best around!

Mothers day meal 2022. Although selecting a meal a week in advance can be frustrating. It did relieve the ooohing and arghing at the table and speed things up, If only we could remember who order what. Lovely service with humour added which is nice when you like humour.... If your a misery then maybe not the place for you. Beautiful building, been many times over the years and for a green king pub actually well maintained (Anyone who's been to a Green King pub in London would not believe its the same company!) Food was amazing (always is) service was lovely... And ability to put up with grumpy old folks was brilliant (Dad!).
