Most voted by the public in the category for favourite local place to eat:
1st Place
THE SMOKING GOAT
Find them at: 35 Broadway, Ashby
The Smoking Goat originally set up base on Frodingham Road providing take out. As popularity and demand for their food grew they saw the opportunity to expand and very recently moved to a new premises on Ashby Broadway. The new location gives customers a space to eat in. The Smoking Goat have really transformed their new space into something modern, fresh and inviting. I’m yet to eat in at the new place, but I tried a take away from here when it first opened back in 2021 and I look forward to experiencing the restaurant in the near future. Read the Take Out Review
The Smoking Goat often receives praise in online reviews for their quality and quantity of food.
What can you expect on the menu at The Smoking Goat?
Well, you can expect to see a variety of burgers with a twist including the classics. Katsu curry boxes and tender homemade chicken strips, sticky wings, loaded fries and milkshakes topped with whipped cream. The Smoking Goat have their own signature Goat Sauce and seasoned Cajun Fries. The Smoking Goat are also now offering a brunch menu (only available to eat in).
Ashby Broadway has become very popular with eateries at the moment, with the newer local favourites setting up shop here, The Cookie People, Andrea’s Cakes, Georgia’s Bakes & Tea room and Noodle-Licious just to name a few.

Alpha Grill

They were well known for providing a banging breakfast butty to their regulars but they decided to dedicate more time to the burgers.
