We’ve always liked coming to the Ashburnham as it’s a lovely local pub, but we sadly won’t be coming back after an incredibly disheartening experience tonight. Our small group was having a nice, quiet night with a few drinks — being polite with each order, and never being loud or disruptive. About 10 minutes before closing time, as we were finishing up our drinks, the manager came over to our table and said “you have 10 minutes” and walked away — okay, fine; we were getting ready to head off anyway. One of us got up to use the toilet before leaving and on the way back that same manager was overheard saying “yeah, there’s three left over there in the corner — and they’re Irish.” Just a completely unnecessary comment, made by someone who very clearly hates being around certain customers. It seems as though unless you’re of a particular class/race, you’re not welcome here.
Having visited this pub on several occasions, I have mixed reviews. The general staff are kind and attentive, unfortunately the owner’s attitude leaves a lot to be desired. On my first visit here, we were told abruptly near to closing time we had to leave, not receiving the usual warning you would expect. As it was such a nice bar, we gave the landlady the benefit of the doubt. On our second visit, as it came closer to midnight, we were given no warning to closing time but were wrapping up our night at the pub. As I was in the toilet, my partner heard “there’s a few in the corner, and they’re Irish”. She was very prompt in getting rid of us. I feel unless you’re of the certain clientele who live on this road you’re not particularly welcome here.
Great little spot! The food is delicious and the staff is lovely but kitchen closes at 4 so make sure to get in early☺️ Most of us had beef or chicken and one had the nut roast. We couldn't help but swap morsels and everything was delicious!
Came for a Sunday roast as a walk-in and staff did their best to accommodate us. At 4.30pm, we had the last chicken roasts that were available. The roast itself was a 7 out of 10, with very tender meat and lovely carrots and parsnips, but very sturdy roast potatoes and not enough gravy. Big bonus: the many board games they have available at the pub!!
Lovely local pub. Local ale with a front and large back garden seating area. (Can be reserved for private parties.) Front garden area is smaller. Very kid friendly. Based on where this is located you will find many locals here. It's located on the same street of the famous authors home Edgar Wallace. (Be sure to have a look 10 house up) nice plaque. Didn't get a chance to try food as kitchen was closing to be reopened again later. Menu looks nice.. It's a proper local family run pub. Will visit again.....
