Riverside Inn

You head down Torrington Road and suddenly you're somewhere quieter—the Riverside Inn sits where you'd half-forgotten pubs like this still exist. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel where regulars genuinely know the bar staff, but newcomers aren't made to feel like intruders. The kind of place where you can nurse a pint for hours without anyone rushing you, or grab a decent meal without fuss. The riverside location gives it breathing room from Ashford's busier stretches, and that matters more than you'd think.
