Review Ashburnham Ale House - Peterborough

"You gotta eat here!". Yes; you really should eat (and drink) here. My partner and I dropped in for lunch today and totally loved the experience; the food; the beer; and the friendly service. I had the advocado tacos and a mixed green salad. Both were delicious. And the salad had a very good salad dressing. But the best part was the beer! They have a great beer selection. I went for the real cask ale! Dee-licious! The pints are pumped by hand from a cask. It is therefore not carbonated, which is used to get other beers flowing, so you do not get bloated after 2 ..... or 3 ...... pints. For a minute, I thought I was visiting a pub in Yorkshire, England. This is a warm and cozy pub, with regular tables, bar tables, and outside tables. It is wheel-chair accessible. And they have a unique display of over 30 tap handles as you enter. A great experience! We will be back.

Service was good and prompt. Environment was nice and pleasant. The place was bustling even on a weekday afternoon. Food was served hot. Definitely a nice place to recommend for any meal of the day. Ordered Sopa del Dia (split pea soup), Lambo & the deaner salad. Soup was ok, very similar to the south indian sambhar. Will skip this dish. The Lambo was nice and well portioned. A burst of flavour and sauces, but too much going on in the plate for my taste. The salad was a healthy portion for half size and the added shrimp was juicy. If ordering, be sure to mention light on vinegerette.

I've been there a few times and every time was a great experience! I tried an assorted variety of foods and all have been good. I recommend the chicken and rib combo, as well as the pollo pizza. The Italian pizza is good too, though a little heavy on the cheese. The Greek burger is also good, though I would hope for a thicker patty. Great staff too. Overall, you won't be disappointed here!

My wife and I had an incredible late night dinner. She had the hot and sloppy sandwich, I had the Reuben. Both were made to perfection. We had fries to go with it that tasted awesome. The Hoptical Illusion pairs very nicely with the Reuben. We also had Key lime cheesecake and a pecan brownie with ice cream. Very enjoyable dinner, menu prices might look a little expensive but the experience is worth every penny, oops I guess every nickel. 10/10 looking forward to returning.

Always an amazing meal here. Great selection of tasty beers. I recommend the Dennison's Weissbier or 8 Man English Pale Ale(on cask). The hikory smoked chick n' ribs are absolutely mouth wateringly delicious. Nothing beats that smokey taste topped with sauce. Then to top it off with a yummy Chocolate Skor Cookie Pie for dessert! Nice cozy atmosphere with friendly staff, who are attentive even during a busy Friday night with staff shortages.

First time here and I had a great time. Food tasted great and the stuff was nice, Friendly and helpful.

First time dining here. Very busy, which is usually a good sign. Didn't know we had to make reservations. There was a 20 - 30 min wait so we had a seat in front of a wood burning stove with a cocktail. Great atmosphere👌, service was fast and food was delicious. Will definitely return!!

We have enjoyed this place for a few years now, and honestly, they never disappoint. From a great selection of beers, to a variety of food that is sure to please. We love the private patio, but really, there is no bad seat in the house. The service is always friendly and efficient. We've had the burgers, the pizza, the sammies, bruschetta, fries, and salads...and, their curry-mayo is legit, to die for! You gotta eat here!

Ambiance was good and the service was excellent. The food was simply outstanding. I had the black bean burger (with fries) and it was the best vegetarian burger I have ever had! For dessert I tried the brownie and it was so good! Highly recommend this place and I am sad that I do not live in Peterborough because I would definitely be a regular!!!

Jessica was great. The staff, the beer and the food, did I mention the food. It was a great meal. Calamari then the Ale house Rib-eye hot pot with a pint of Weiss beer from Collingwood. Delish!

Upbeat, kind, and attentive folks, absolutely awesome menu with plenty of interesting choices for meat-eaters and veggie folk alike lol. The atmosphere isn't over-done (ever feel out of place in some restaurants?) not here, it simply feels cozy and comfortable with a real wood fireplace going in winter too. There's always interesting art and old photos of the city hanging on the walls which has inspired many great conversations. I've made this place a frequent stop for a pint after my long rides and would recommend it in a heartbeat. :)

Had beet salad yesterday for lunch So delicious , large portion great service , sat out on patio ,with a great view of "East City" ���

I came for lunch with a large group of people on Friday all taking a course in town, the restaurant was very busy, we did not have a reservation, Jess and the staff on the fly rearranged an area so all 15 of us could sit together. Most of the group was from out of town and had not been there before. After lunch the entire group commented on how great the service was, everyone loved the food! Having worked in the industry, and realizing it is very difficult when 15 people show up when you're busy, no reso, have never been to the restaurant before, all want separate bills and are in a bit of a rush to top it off!!! So, just wanted to say thanks for being so accommodating! Amazing service, and a delicious lunch! Thanks Jess! Shawn

Great menu. The selections were wonderful and all had their own twist. The beer selection and what was on tap were also top notch. Oh, and the coffee. Excellent.

Been to Ashburnham Ale House twice in the past few weeks and each time was utterly scrumptious! Tried the Greek burger and quarter chicken meal and each dish was cooked perfectly! My fiance tried the swordfish special and it was out of this world tasty!! Special shout out and big Thank-You to Chef Chad, you are one hella cook!!! We can't wait to be back again, super good food, awesome staff and we love the atmosphere!!

Love the food and drinks! I try something different almost every time and it's always delicious! Lastnight, the seafood pasta special was to die for :)

Food was great, server was great until we found a chunk of glass in the Greek Burger. Disappointing first experience there and will never go back!

I have been several times for lunch and dinner, (and loved it) but last Sunday was a first to go for brunch. The nice thing is that the Ale House was open at 9 AM. We arrived at 9:02, half expecting to be told that the griddle was not hot yet, that we'd have to wait for coffee... NOT AT ALL! And quite the contrary. We were greeted with warmth and smiles, warm coffee and tea were promptly brought, and fabulous brunch plates served all at once. I had the BEST eggs Benedict I have ever had, with smoked trout and a real Hollandaise, and perfectly poached eggs, and a lovely side of fresh fruit. Wow. We will be back. Thanks you SO MUCH!

The beer was great, food was good but my brisket sandwich was a little cold!! Fries are good as well!!!

Excellent overall, food amazing and the servers are generally awesome. However, on several occasions this summer there have been far too many flies buzzing around for my liking. They need a electrical discharge insect control system that is scatter proof (due to being in a food prep area). Otherwise, I would rate it 5 stars.

Great food and service !! Was super busy on Saturday eve 6pm glad our friends made reservations!! Highly recommend 👍

Love this place. Excellent food and great service.

We went for dinner at Ashburnham Ale House and had a very enjoyable time. We had the ironman sammie with fries and the hot & sloppy with a salad. Both were delicious and we ordered the warm apple cider with rum and a cask ale that was so good it reminded my husband of when we were in England . Curt was our server and managed our crowd easily. We will definitely go back to enjoy more choices and beverages

Popped in today while out shopping, pleasantly surprised. The food was great, the staff were great and they had my favourite beer on tap which is always worth a bonus star. Good work guys and girls. We will be back for sure.
