Best British Restaurants in Ashton-Under-Lyne

Lunch for 2 on the seasonal £40 sharing menu in the Saturday before Christmas. I’d heard and read so many good things about Higher Ground but not managed to get here until now, all of which were entirely justified. The interior (my bag) is cool, stylish and well laid out, tables not too close to each other. A really friendly welcome when we walked in, genuine and warm. Superlative staff, informed, enthusiastic without being over attentive, and knowledgable. Wonderful food, a smashing selection of dishes from the full menu. Pea fritters, British crab, incrediblly tasty cured meat, golden beets, warm freshly baked bread & whipped butter, succulent leeks - all excellent. Then a sharing main of Dexter beef on a delicate but hearty mushroom spelt porridge and a bowl of mash homegrown on the HG farm in Cheshire. I’ll be attempting to recreate smoked butter at home but doubtless will fail to make it this delicious. For the quality of food, attention to detail, quality of service, this was £40 per head very well spent. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Had a table for 7 pre-booked. Staff were patient and attentive. Food was excellent. The Greek Style chips were delicious as was my main of Calamari and Prawans. Everybody in the group enjoyed the meal, so well worth a visit.

Right in the heart of the city. Nice space, good service, good food and good lcoation.

The food was very tasty and the service we received from staff was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

First time going to the Waldorf. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Also a good selection of food available. I will be going again
