The best restaurants in Ashford

30/08/2026: A brilliant family-run business with some of the nicest, friendliest staff you could possibly come across. The place is always spotless, welcoming and well looked after, and there’s a lovely atmosphere every time you walk through the door. A huge well done to Pádraig and Marie and all the team for the standard they keep. It’s also great to see the effort they put into the outside of the premises — it’s looking absolutely smashing and really adds to the appearance of Ashford village. It’s businesses like this, taking pride in their premises and their community, that make a village a better place. Great food, great people and a fantastic local business. Well worth supporting.

02/08/2026: We had a meal here twice this year and it is definitely our go to place. Superb food lively busy atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive. We were delighted with our evenings on both occasions.

09/09/2026: If you love trees, this is an opportunity to visit every country in the world, by sampling the specimen trees here. Described as a "world class" collection, layed out along a mapped tree trail. A labyrinthine path guides you through woodland, riverside walk, over bridges, through herbaceous borders and themed garden "rooms". Shrubs, flowers, rhododendron, azalea, blue hydrangeas, river walk with gently cascading weirs. Recently expanded Avoca Cafe with plenty of outdoor seating, large garden centre, equestrian outdoor clothing and boutique shops. Flowers are pure psychedelia in summer, flaming acers in autumn, woodland wild flowers in spring.

06/09/2026: On my last day visiting family in Ireland, they took me to the absolute jewel that is Avoca Mount Usher — and what a way to end the trip. The restaurant is beautiful, surrounded by the most gorgeous greenery, with that effortlessly charming Irish feel that makes you want to linger all day. And then there were the oats. I am a serious oat fan, so I don’t say this lightly: these were next level. Truly some of the most exceptional oats I’ve ever had — simple, comforting, and somehow completely unforgettable. A beautiful setting, wonderful food, and such a special final memory with family. Avoca Mount Usher is an absolute must. 🌿

16/07/2026: France Spain game was starting so had to stop for Ashford to watch the game. AI recommended this place. Was good place to watch the game and have a pint before we continuing the journey. No food here btw. Not sure if new thing as earlier reviews showed some meals.
