The Duncombe Arms is a beautiful, traditional country pub situated at the heart of the lovely rural village of Ellastone on the Staffordshire / Derbyshire border. Located on the edge of the Peak District near the towns of Ashbourne and Uttoxeter it is a great place to visit providing a delightful setting in which to enjoy a drink, some lovely food from our bar and restaurant menus, as well as a chat with friends or family.
Had a 50th family meal,food was very,very good and beautifully presented and was so good. Great staff and range of drinks. Will be back for a meal for two of us soon. Just Fab night 🌙
A superb overnight stay with dinner and breakfast. From the moment we arrived until we left everything was fantastic. Genuine welcome, excellent service from all the staff. Superb food and drinks and outstanding accommodation. We will certainly go back again.
My husband and I haven't been to the Duncombe Arms for a few years as it is a bit of a trek for us!! However today we made the trek, taking friends as a thank you present! What can I say, I always remember this pub being great but it clearly is just getting better and better!! The service was wonderful, friendly and very efficient but the food, oh my goodness, just amazing....presentation, flavours..... we could have been in a top end restaurant in London!!! We won't leave it as long to return next time, maybe we will treat ourselves to staying the night too!
We were staying at the Alton Towers hotel and were looking for somewhere nice to eat (outside of the hotel). We had such a fantastic experience here. The service was fabulous & the food absolutely delicious. Not cheap - but worth every penny. If we’re ever in the area again, we will definitely be back. Thank you.
We chose this pub for my parents diamond wedding anniversary meal. The pub is welcoming and looks amazing, both inside and outside. Food was good as was the service, however the place was full of dead flower arrangements on the tables, it seemed that they put all of the attention into the good food and service, but forgot the overall guest experience. We asked to have the flowers removed, which they did swiftly. They produced a lovely piped dessert plate, for my parents, wishing them a happy anniversary and we all had a good evening. Would love to have given five stars but petals all over our table didn't make us feel valued. Please still visit this place as it is wonderful.
