We work with local brewers, distilleries and hand-picked vineyards to bring you a drinks menu that’s every bit as considered as the food on your plate.
Drinks menuThe bar at The Ashford Arms is built around the best of what the Peak District and its neighbours produce. From cask ales brewed just down the road to small-batch gins distilled in the Derbyshire hills, every pour has a story behind it.
We’re proud to stock beers from Thornbridge Brewery and Abbeydale Brewery, spirits from Shining Cliff Distillery and Shivering Mountain. We also work closely with Hattersley Wines to bring you a wine list chosen with the same care we give to everything else.
Whether you’re settling in for the evening or stopping for something quick after a walk, there’s something for everyone.
A rotating selection of local cask ales and craft beers, with Thornbridge and Peak Ales regulars on the bar alongside seasonal guests.
A carefully chosen gin menu featuring local favourites including Shivering Mountain, Chatsworth Gin and Shining Cliff Distillery, alongside a well-stocked back bar of whisky, rum and more.
Our wine list is curated in partnership with Hattersley Wines of Bakewell, with bottles selected from small vineyards in France, Spain and beyond. Ask the team for a recommendation and they will be more than happy to help.
We have plenty of options for those looking for a non-alcoholic alternative, including soft drinks and non-alcoholic spirits & cocktails.
Settle in beside one of our stone fireplaces, find a spot in the garden or pull up a stool at the bar. The Ashford Arms is a proper Peak District pub. The kind where the staff know the menu, the fire is always lit in winter and there’s no rush to move on.
We’re in the heart of Ashford in the Water, just a short drive from Bakewell and well placed for walkers on the Monsal Trail. Whether you’re visiting for the afternoon or staying the night, the bar is always ready to welcome you.
