"I'm sure the beautiful tavern inside must be much better than the dirty tent and chairs outside. I think they must have been short on the staff for Easter brunch because we waited 10 minutes for the table to be cleaned so that we could sit on our assigned table while others were moved before us to their assigned seats. When each course was served, it was cold already soup and the duck and the beautiful dessert. I suppose the food was until our waitress had time to bring it to us. It would have been a nice meal this special day. I was disappointed and embarrassed that I took my guest in Hunter's head."

"This is our third time dining at The Ashby Inn, and twice during COVID. We also stayed at the inn during our last two visits. It's a very special place and the food is wonderful. Highly recommend"

"We dine at this restaurant a couple of times a year, but this time we went for lunch instead of dinner. We were not disappointed! I ordered the prix fixe lunch menu and was impressed with the dinner rolls cooked in duck fat and perfectly cooked fish. The strawberry mousse was good, but I should have stuck with my usual favorite dessert, the amazing creme brulee. The staff was attentive but not overly intrusive. The prices are slightly high, but the quality of the food is outstanding. After our meal, we explored the gift shop and unique bar, purchasing some preserves. We will definitely be returning in the future."

"I stopped at the market in the middle of a day trip. The interior of the market is immaculate, stylish and with a variety of high quality, and (I think) mostly local goods. The person who worked the counter was really polite and welcomed me on the way to the store. Lunch prices are quite reasonable and the quality of food is excellent. I had her burger, which was tender without undercooking, and with fresh salad and cheese. The bungalow was perfectly soft and buttery. I'll stop here again when I'm in the area!"

"My family and I have been dining at the Hunter 's Head for almost 30 years and after the dining experiences we have had the last two occasions would not return without significant changes being made. While I understand menus change over time, part of the draw to the Hunter 's Head was their commitment to traditional English pub fair and fresh/local ingredients. The menu now is sparse and the seasoning on the food is even more so. Of the three people who dined this most recent evening, none of us enjoyed any of our meals. I had ordered the Teriyaki Glazed Salmon that was to be served with rice, green beans, and toasted almonds. The Teriyaki glaze was more like a gelatin substance (thick/chunky) and rather than the toasted almonds being served on green beans which would be traditional, they were almond slivers (not toasted) and placed on top of the gelatin teriyaki on the salmon. It was a strange and not pleasant pairing. I substituted mashed potatoes for the rice and the potatoes were chunky and lacking any flavor. Outside of the food being terrible and having no flavor or seasoning, the service was slow and there were flies swarming all of the tables outside which made the dining experience even more unpleasant. If the Hunter 's Head wants to retain it 's former glory, I would suggest returning to their old menu and hiring a new chef. Until then, we unfortunately will not come back to dine there."
