Best Pubs in Ambergate

Food and ambiance very good. We shared three excellent starters and two main courses. Excellent presentation, each dish very flavoursome . Regrettable, the desserts did not meet the standards of the starters and mains! Still, we will be coming back.

I recently enjoyed a delightful lunchtime meal with friends at The Nags Head, and it was an experience worth sharing. The pub exudes a warm and cosy charm, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed get-together. The menu was full of tempting options, but we opted for the rarebit and a hearty pie for our mains. Both dishes were absolutely delicious—comfort food at its finest. The Welsh rarebit was rich, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, while the pie was a masterpiece, with a golden, flaky crust and a filling that was both flavorful and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere of this lovely pub. It’s clear that great care goes into both the food and the overall experience. If you’re looking for a cosy spot with excellent food and a great ambiance, I highly recommend The Nags Head. I’ll certainly be back!

Really lovely pub. Great dog friendly atmosphere. Food was very good and value for money. No complaints here from us as a family of 4 visiting on Boxing Day while in the area.

Service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious. Gorgeously renovated to high spec. Perfect pricing too. Couldn't fault it. We will definitely be back!

Although it was very busy with Christmas parties, we were served quickly with lovely food, by lovely staff. However, they did get our order wrong, but quickly rectified it. We throughly enjoyed our visit, until it was time to use the loo! They are in an awful state and needs a complete makeover!
