Nestled in the heart of the beautiful market town of Ashbourne, Derbyshire, The Hug and Heave is more than just a pub – it’s a community hub, a cosy gathering spot, and a labour of love for our family of five who proudly run it.
As a family, we’ve always had a shared passion for the social side of pub life – the stories, the laughter, the friendships made over a pint. That’s why we created The Hug and Heave: to offer a space where locals and visitors alike can feel truly at home.
Whether you're stopping by for a quick drink, enjoying a relaxed evening with friends, or popping in for one of our regular events, you'll always be greeted with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. We believe in keeping things simple: good drinks, great company, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Come Say Hello
We’re always up for a chat, and there's nothing we love more than getting to know the folks who walk through our door. So come on in, grab a drink, pull up a chair, and make yourself at home.
The Hug and Heave – where everyone’s treated like a regular.
A Bit About Ashbourne
Often referred to as the “Gateway to the Peak District”, Ashbourne is a historic market town known for its cobbled streets, Georgian architecture, and vibrant community spirit. It’s the kind of place where tradition and charm go hand in hand – from the famous Royal Shrovetide Football match to our fabulous local independent shops that line the streets.
We’re proud to be part of such a characterful town and to contribute to its rich social fabric. Whether you’re a Derbyshire local or exploring the surrounding countryside, The Hug and Heave is your perfect pit stop for a hearty welcome and a proper pint.
