"We were visiting a tourist attraction in the area and noted that the Bulls Head did food so we popped in. We ordered two cheese and bacon toasties which came with dirty fries with an additional order for a side salad. We waited 45 minutes and then approached the bar to enquire where our (very basic food was. I was advised that our order was being prepared next and the male staff member said we did warn you on ordering that food was taking 45 minutes . I replied that this had not been conveyed to us (as we would certainly not have continued with the order but found an alternative location for our snack . Satisfied that our food would be arriving immanently I returned to my table. I waited a further 25 minutes and returned to the bar to again, asking where our food was. I was advised that it was literally on it 's way out of the kitchen. So again, I returned to our table and true to his word, the food arrived, but it was NOT what was specified on the menu which had stated dirty fries (topped with bacon and chopped spring . Our fries merely had some sauce drizzled over. This was absolutely the last straw. I returned to the counter with the food and asked to speak with the Manager as I wished to have a refund as the food was not as specified. I duly got out my credit card (original method of payment but was immediately provided with a cash refund. I believe that the staff just wanted to get us out of the premises quickly as it was very obvious that we were far from happy. Luckily we are not local and therefore not likely to be in the area again but needless to say, if we were, we would certainly NOT be making a repeat visit."

"Arrived for a very early flight. Upstairs Castle Rock was packed (Castle Rock is the much better restaurant that we always go to). Waited in a queue for minutes to get a table for when the restaurant was half empty. Staff not...doing much, wandering around aimlessly. Average time claimed minutes. I get we were a slightly larger group, but this establishment must cater for large groups every hour so I don’t think that was the problem. We got drinks after minutes, and probably would still be waiting for our breakfasts today. We had left more than enough time to comfortably get onto our flight, yet ended up having to cancel our food orders after minutes waiting, hour in total, and run to catch it. Staff were a nightmare, barring perhaps the woman taking people to their tables. Our waitress could do nothing to solve the problem of us waiting, in fact another waitress came over and asked us if we’d had our food yet we’d been waiting so long. A member of our party then cancelled the food order, to which the waitress looked upset about, and we said we’d have to pay for drinks and leave quickly. She then messed up the bill, so we almost paid for the food we had not eaten. She went back to the manager who ‘fixed’ it: the bill came back the same. At this point, the rest of the party had to run to the gate to catch our flight, whilst me and my father just put cash in the waitress’s hand for the drinks (which at this point should have been free considering their false “average waiting time” and the subsequent time-consuming mishaps) and ran to the gate. A completely unnecessary stressful beginning to our holiday. This branch will always get customers because there is a captive audience, but I would highly recommend anyone to go to the Castle Rock restaurant upstairs rather than this place, as we usually do. Awful."

"Extremely disappointed this evening. For about 27 years since my mum run the conti in Ashby I’ve always used Ashby Grill, I’ve always found it expensive but high quality and happy to pay for such delicious food. After tonight I will never use them again after such rude a disrespect for a loyal customer. In 27 years I’ve called twice to say once that my sauce was all spilt in my bag and another time to say extra toppings I payed for was missing and on those occasions they offered me a few quid off my next order that I happily accepted. Tonight I ordered 2 pizzas as it advertised 2nd half price I asked if that was correct and told yes, and the house special kebab that’s £20! Now it’s absolutely delicious and I only have one maybe twice a year so real treat. I ask for salad and sauce separately and told yes always. I ask can I pay card on delivery and he says he send me bank details so I pay and my order is made and delivered to me in 25 minutes!! Pizzas looked beautiful, they went off with their happy customers and I open mine up. The sauce is swimming in the bag, I open up the box and it’s drenched it sauce I’ve had the most awful few days, emotionally drained and on the rare occasion I think I know I’ll have a take away it’s always my order that’s wrong I can’t eat that, it’s not what I want, it’s not what I asked for and it’s not what I payed for, so I call them…….. First I got accused of not asking for separate Then told if I want to make sure it’s correct like that to order on line Then told next time I can have one half price??? I don’t want one half price? I wanted what I ordered and payed for? Just give me a refund instead….. No, flat out refused to refund me said it’s not what customers normally ask for and that I am suspicious!! I’m telling you it’s in the bin I send him a photo of it in my kitchen bin only to be accused of putting it in a plain bag for a photo and then take it out and eat it and get a free one! By the time he had sent me that reply I had already took the bag out to the wheelie bin, after he accused me of this I sent him a video of me busting open the bag in my black wheelie bin and showing it as proof only to be told I tried to scam him before? I’m not trying to fleece you I said, if you made a mistake in the past I’ve mentioned it and you put it right, I’ve come here for about 27 years and always come to you and your accusing me? I would be happy to come to collect a fresh one but I was refused. I’m a customer and Im not allowed to let you know when you made a mistake? Answer is he’s banning me!! Like I would return after such rudeness! I’m absolutely gutted, the standards of food has always been so high there but I’ve never been one to throw money away and always felt if I’m paying for a service and something is wrong then I will say so it can be rectified but also in turn, if I have excellent service I tip and give praise too!! At the end of the conversation I was asked if I put it in the bin then what did I have to eat, well I went to makkies thanks and I’m £20 down from someone who called their loyal customer a suspicious person and I most certainly wouldn’t ever go there again after being called a lier! So yes Ashby Grill consider this a poor review and a warning to anyone if your order is wrong he won’t believe you or will give you a few quid off your next one but if they make a mistake again then that’s it, your just out to fleece them and get a free meal"
