New Restaurant, The Machine Inn Opens In Ashbourne
The Machine Inn is a new restaurant that opened in Ashbourne, Derbyshire on Saturday 15th July.
Located at the former ‘Vault’ restaurant site, the Machine Inn is the second hospitality venue in Ashbourne from Henfox, the company behind Café Impromptu. Henfox will also be opening new venues in the old Nat West and Swiss Cottage buildings while refurbishing the historial Horns pub on Victoria Square.
Executive Chef, Dan Fincher who is responsible for all venues, worked previously in Michelin Star and AA rosette restaurants, including Gordon Ramsey’s at Claridges and the Waldorf Astoria Versailles. Dan describes the Machine Inn menu as “British classics with a modern twist”. The restaurant maintains a laid back atmosphere where walk ins are welcomed.
The logo pays homage to local corset makers Richard Cooper & Company, who were based in the town of Ashbourne for 125 years. The Machine Inn name is lifted from the original Machine Inn, which was situated on Sturston Road.
The restaurant also features five en-suite hotel rooms, opening later on this year.
