"Below average Sunday roast dinner. Would not go if for a roast dinner for a special occasion. Lots of empty seats in the restaurant area which should have been a sign....4 of us had roast dinner on a Sunday, certainly not worth the £18 a meal drinks to pay on top. Expect a really nice dinner for that price. The price either needs dropping quite a bit, or the standards raising a lot for the price point/standard to be correct. Once we moved the big Yorkshire pudding out the way, there really wasn 't a lot on the plate. I only had 2 very small roast potatoes. Would have appreciated a few more potatoes at the size they were and/or some mash potato to fill out the empty space, and also some carrots, as there weren 't many vegetables on the plate either. ' 'Seasonal veg ' '; carrots are in season in November and aren 't expensive. There was no real flavour/seasoning, very bland. A couple of the group had lamb. Asked about mint sauce, the pub didn 't have any...Expect any pub that serves lamb on a Sunday to have mint sauce. No cutlery given with the dinners/already on the table, even though we booked in advance, had to ask for cutlery after our dinners were served. No one interested in coming over to take for the bill. As other reviews have said, we had to go up to the bar to pay. When we did get up to the bar to pay, staff tried to charge for the wrong table; for the group of 4 next to us who had wine etc/a much bigger bill. Shows poor organisation on which table is which. Would have been of detriment to the pub had it have been the other way round, and the larger table had left first, after paying for a smaller bill, as we would not have paid for their bigger/incorrect bill! No toilet roll in the one ladies toilet, had to wait for the other cubicle to become free. Even then there was only a tiny bit in that cubicle a lot of empty rolls. A sign that the toilets had not been serviced all day Sunday until at least 6pm when I went in there. Wasn 't busy so staff could have gone in to top up loo roll. Visited Sun 19th Nov 2023 4pm, in case the pub is interested in addressing any of these issues with the kitchen. Suggest bigger portions/more flavour. More potatoes/veg/seasoning don 't cost that much for any pub, yet really make a difference to the customer 's experience. it 's in the pub 's interest to visit the table to take bill payment and get the tables/orders the right way around... Portion size appropriate for a 90 yr old, not 4 young/middle aged adults. Our plates were cleared not because we thoroughly enjoyed the meal, it was because we were all still hungry.

"In the beginning, God created many things from Monday to Saturday and on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. Or did he? No. No he didn’t. On the seventh day God created Bennys. This biblical reference does not do justice to just how divine a Bennys is. It is a kebab/pizza/fast food shop steeped in glory and mystery. Some scholars have actually considered Bennys as the final resting place of both the ark of the covenant and the Lance of the Longinus. If Dan Brown has written another book, I have no doubt Bennys would have featured because the food is so good. I have been to Bennys three times a holy trinity of visits. Each time I have opted for a seminal chicken kebab. The chicken has been fresh and plump and proper (a bird sacrificed for the grace of our plates). The spices have oozed with flavour, cleansing my very soul. The pitta has been strong and resolute in its carrying of the other constituent items of perfection. The salad has been clean, cutting through the spice, to reclaim the innocence of my tastebuds for another spiritual bite. The hot sauce has teased my palate (and my perineum) with a fiery wet heat of a culinary miracle. The chips have been a hybrid of soft and crispy, like a kettle chip which has had an illegitimate child with a cloud. And the garlic mayonnaise, oh yes the garlic mayonnaise, embodies the fulcrum of the holy trinity of God. I believe in a church. The church of Bennys. It is wholesome, it is great, it guides me to the green pastures of hope, away from the barren epoch of servitude you get with other late night food venues. Benny was the 13th apostle and he founded his church here in Ashbourne. I once saw a drunk 19 year old get hit by a 2013 Renault Twingo outside of Bennys. Was he hurt? Was he maimed? No, a beam of alabaster white light transcending mind and soul came out of Bennys as it happened. He walked again. It’s not my place to say, but if that accident had happened anywhere else, I don’t think he would have lived. To me, Bennys is more than a kebab shop. Maj and the boys run one hell of an establishment. Just like Derbyshire was home to the Arkwright mills and the birthplace of the industrial revolution, it is home to Bennys my church. While the Arkwright Mills had consequences for the direction of mankind, so too, to a far greater extent, does Bennys. Fun fact: just down the road from Ashbourne is Belper where Timothy Dalton grew up."
