The Bowling Green Inn Steakhouse

The Bowling Green Steakhouse is a popular Ashbourne dining spot known for its quality steaks and relaxed pub-style atmosphere. Right in this Peak District market town, it’s an easy place to fold into a dog-friendly day out, whether you’ve been wandering Ashbourne’s cobbled streets, browsing the independent shops or heading back from a walk around Dovedale or the Tissington Trail. The menu focuses on hearty plates and good British beef, making it a strong choice when you want a proper sit-down meal after a busy day exploring.

Dogs are welcome in the bar area, which is ideal for visitors travelling with their pup, although booking is highly advised as it is one of Ashbourne’s busier food stops. Expect a warm, lively atmosphere and a meal that feels thoroughly deserved after a Peak District adventure.
