Are Alexanders - Ashby Right For You?

Had a lovely lunch here today. Food and service excellent. Would definitely recommend.

We fancied somewhere different so as a group of six, we booked for an evening meal. This is a small place with a very nice staff to serve you. The chairs were so comfy and it’s pleasant inside. To start I had the asparagus with Parma ham and poached egg which was very nice and then the fish and chips with mushy peas for the main- which was nice but the portions could have been larger for the price you pay. The dessert was ok, I had the marshmallow brownie and to be honest I did not find it that nice, the brownie lacked flavour and I don’t think the marshmallow went well with it (a layer on top of the brownie). We had three drinks each and everyone had at least two courses and the bill was £40 per head. This restaurant is in an alley way so you have to look for it. Not excellent but nice enough for me.

This is a great local eatery and gin emporium! Always friendly staff, great selection of gin brands and mixes to try and plenty of space to eat and relax in comfortable surroundings. Do not leave Ashby without visiting!

Great little restaurant/bar. The food is excellent. Love the lunch menu and it's really great value. The place has a good choice of gins & mixers too. Staff always friendly and welcoming!

Today, I went to have afternoon tea, which had been booked on 14th November 2018. I had got a voucher for my birthday from my work colleagues that was valid for a year. I took a girlfriend with me for the treat. When we arrived I asked the barman (front of house) whether he needed the voucher and he said no I’ll take it when you pay. The gins were very good, the afternoon tea was a little disappointing in content and had obviously been prepared in advance and perhaps the sandwiches hadn’t been covered up as they were dry on the edges and although average, it was palatable. After we had been given our tea, we were not approached again by the waitress and had to get her attention to request further drinks.
When we went to leave and settle the bill, I was told that they couldn’t accept the gift voucher as the business had changed hands and didn’t I know this? How would I know whether a business had changed hands.. I had travelled from Derby!! It’s not local to me.. the barman said it had changed hands in October.. the voucher I had was valid for a year from August.. there’s three things here that they should have put in place. When the booking was made by telephone, they should have asked when the voucher was purchased and explained the situation. Secondly the front of house barman should have checked the voucher when I offered it on arrival and could have explained the situation and I could have made an informed decision about staying and thirdly, they should have a sign explaining that any vouchers dated a year from when the business changed hands would not be upheld.. I was left standing there very upset as my afternoon had been ruined and I was embarrassed in front of my friend and then had to pay the bill in full!! The front of house manager then stated that it wasn’t their fault (the new owners) and he hoped it hadn’t spoilt the afternoon. I certainly won’t be returning.. not only was I disappointed in the actual tea, I was very upset about how it was handled and left there crying and angry in frustration. Very poor..

Lovely place! Over 200 different Gins = Happy wife! Only 4 stars as they were out of a few things. Lovely friendly staff. A great way to try before you buy a specific gin.

Nice place. We all really enjoyed the food. The staff.... hmmm... not quite sure, can't put my finger on it... did their job OK... friendly enough not very welcoming and when serving plates and drinks just barging through us and across us. The same when clearing... barging in between people chatting, with not much 'excuse me's'.... But having said that we all had a good evening.
