I came here expecting something, anything, to do with Ashton Hall. He’s a well-known Black influencer with a massive following, and I assumed the name "Ashton Hall" meant he was somehow connected to the space, maybe through branding, visuals, design influence, or even just a nod to his identity. But no. Nothing. Not a photo. Not a quote. Not a mention. Not a single ounce of recognition.
It’s honestly insulting. Why slap his name on the front door if he’s got nothing to do with it? It feels like the place is cashing in on his popularity and identity just to draw people in. That’s not just misleading, it’s exploitative. Using a Black influencer’s name as a marketing tactic without any real involvement or representation is wrong. It’s performative branding at its worst.
Black creators deserve more than to have their names used as empty bait for clout. This is exactly why people call out fake allyship and corporate exploitation. If you're going to name a space Ashton Hall, show some respect. Acknowledge the man, celebrate his work, or at the very least don’t pretend he’s involved if he’s not.
One star. Nothing...

Can’t wait to be back for the wine and Leesa! Keep Ashton Hills...

I have to say without a doubt this is truly the best - the wine, the comfy coziness with the fireplace, everything was incredible! We also had the funniest bloke serve us with such an incredible knowledge of wine, I couldn’t rave about this place more if I tried! Truly, if you’re tossing up between here and another...
