Smith's Tavern, Ashbourne

A gem of a pub! Situated at the bottom end of the market square in Ashbourne is a pub it's easy to walk past and, in truth, its narrow double doors are not the easiest to get through. However, once inside, we were made to feel very welcome by a landlord who was very happy to advise on the 4 real ales he had on offer. We all chose 'Sunbeam' from Banks Brewery of Wolverhampton. It was zingy, hoppy and went down a treat. Also available was 'Snecklifter' from Jennings and a couple of others from other breweries.
Smith's Tavern is clearly popular with locals and the landlord seemed to have a good rapport with them all. All in all, a very good pub.
