Always a treat! Had an absolutely scrummy club sandwich. The surroundings are quirky, the service excellent and the simple food beautifully cooked. Marvellous!

Lovely cafe stop. I come here on my bike alone. The lady who runs it is lovely as is the lad who takes the orders. Its a great cafe with nice food at very reasonable prices. Should be more places like this. Dont like the moaners who complain about small businesses like this who give good service at very reasonable prices.

Cafe inside an antique shop, food nice and fresh, staff very friendly. Good meeting place for a quick bite or afternoon slice of cake and a cuppa.

Absolutely love love love Albert's its such a fabulous place and has expanded since we last visited.. The whole place is a feast for anyone looking to buy Collectables and lovely gifts. You definitely need to go around twice. I have eaten many times at the cafe and it's beyond lovely. The service is very attentive and welcoming. My husband and I had a sausage roll which was flaky and beautiful. We both loved the additional treat of enjoying piccalilli and sweet pickle with it. We treated ourselves to a homemade scone clotted cream and jam. We were asked what kind of jam we would like. Strawberry, raspberry or black cherry. The scone was served warm and was absolutely delectable. Such an amazing find. If you haven't been you're definitely missing out.

A wonderfully excellent cafe, serving home cooked and freshly made food. Breakfasts, lunches, cakes, coffee’s. The cafe has a new owner who has run this cafe since April this year. Always new things to try on the menu and very affordable. Will definitely be returning soon! Super friendly too!

We stopped for coffee and cake. Mediocre coffee and expensive but not spectacular cake. Service wasn't particularly fast given there weren't loads of customers.

Lovely little cafe inside a vintage retro shop, we had a a full breakfast at 12:30 as they still had a few sausages left and accommodated our late breakfast request. The sausages are from a local supplier and very tasty! The staff were nice and the owner made us feel welcome. it will deserves a visit and it's not far from the M1 junction 20

Glad to see this cosy cafe open again. Just a few yards from the main road in North Kilworth. What I had to eat was locally purchased from quality suppliers which was clearly evident in the sausages. Coffee was great don't normally have two in a row but for once an independent cafe doing much better than the big chains.

After reading the reviews I really expected a warm welcome and a little gem of a place. To be honest it was disappointing. “Val” was nowhere to be seen when we arrived. The only other people in there told us she would be out in the shop so we had to go and find her, this was after us finding our own menus, reading through them and making our choices. The food was ok. Giving 3 stars cos it wasn’t terrible but I wouldn’t rush back either.

We love Albert's cafe and buy our eggs from Val on a regular basis. My only "moan" is that it needs to open much earlier because my little grandson has us out and about at stupid o'clock! There are some vegan/vegetarian options and Val is very knowledgeable about the ingredients used. The cafe is a bit tucked away and there could be better advertising from the main Lutterworth to Harborough road. North Kilworth council please take note! This establishment is the jewel in North Kilworth's crown.

We visit here regularly as cyclists, this is our favourite stop off cafe. Val and her team are always warm and welcoming. The service is great the food is always freshly prepared plus you get a proper mug of tea. Always recommend to friends, this is a little gem.

Sign on door claims ‘Cyclists welcome’ but we didn’t find it very welcoming as full with bookings for Sunday lunches. No other food on offer except cake to be eaten outside.

Dropped in a snack and coffee, what a great fun place to visit. Biggest selection of homemade cakes, so difficult to decide which one to have. Hot food cooked to order and super quality, none of your skimpy dishes here. Staff were great fun and invited me to a speed dating night with a fish & chip supper, sounds good to me. Attached to a great antiques centre.

My wife and I went for coffee and cake on a sunny Saturday afternoon. This is a small place, but the cake selection was very good, and the lady behind the counter clearly makes them herself, as she explained the ingredients to us. The coffee is from a machine, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service was prompt. This is a quirky place and well worth seeking out for well priced coffee and cake.

We stopped for the first time at this café for coffee and cake. I asked for a small drink but they only had large mugs. The cakes were old and dry, the service was good. Its a shame that more thought wasn't put into this café it could be a lovely stop, needs someone to advise them on good cakes and nice cups and saucers.

My girlfriend and I visited this place for the first time ever today. Quite a few antiques to look at and a lovely cafe serving amazing food! We had the Sunday roast and two huge puddings afterwards! All credit to the staff for their hard work, patience and making it a home from home!

Couple of us came here after a few miles on the bike for a pit stop. Sun was shining so sat outside. Had cuppa and a breakfast cob. Was just what I needed although it did take a while to arrive. Will be visiting again!

It is so cold in the room, it doesn't make for a good experience. The coffee was made from a machine and was awful, I told the lady who seemed most put out. I wasn't offered anything else. The toast was stone cold by the time it was served and the food was not at all tasty. Unfortunate as it's a local little cafe to pop to.

I pop in here occasionally - if it was too often I would buy almost everything in the shop! Lots of interesting reasonably priced vintage items on sale. You discover friendly and accommodating service and a great place to take friends for a shop and a snack! The café menu is wide ranging - something for everyone at any time of the day. Well worth a visit - and you will no doubt return again and again. Easy to park and you can sit outside too if it is warm enough!

After a concerning walk through the antique shop (felt as if we were in the wrong place) we found the cafe at the back of the shop. I instantly had a good feeling about the place. Fantastic menu selection considering the place is only small and the decor is quirky and friendly. The first time I visited it was lunch time so I had soup and bread - it was delicious and very filling! I recommended this place to my husband as he sometimes works in the village and from time to time likes to go to a cafe for his lunch. After his approval from his visit, we both came together one Saturday afternoon and had a small all day breakfast - again, the food was brilliant and we were stuffed. Highly recommend this place for a bite to eat during the day. I just need to try some cake on my next visit!

Order at 9am if you want lunch 🙄 honestly I don't think I've been anywhere so slow. Even at full capacity it should not be hard to manage with the level of staff. Avoid.. Unless you see going for breakfast as a full day activity.

We haven't been to Kilworth House for a very long time but thought it was about time to give it a another go! Well you won't be disappointed - the food in the The Wordsworth was amazing! We have been to many Michelin starred restaurants and I must say that this would not look out of place! We were very well looked after. The only I would say is that they need another dish per course on the menu as there were only 3 starters, 3 main courses etc. Also it was a shame that there wasn't more people in the restaurant but I suppose it is January. We will definitely be going back!

Stayed here overnight, the room was beautiful and spotless ditto bathroom. We opted to eat in the restaurant and the food was delicious and plentiful, it’s probably the best vegetarian lasagne I’ve eaten, there was a good choice for vegetarians , my husband really enjoyed the gammon. We were both so full we couldn’t manage a pudding. The bar was really busy but we couldn’t hear a word from our room. I slept for nearly 9 hours which is rare for me. The staff were attentive but not overbearing, they are certainly an asset to the business that’s for certain. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

An Absolute Gem in the Heart of the Countryside! I’m not from around the area, but during my stay, I found myself coming back to The Staff of Life Pub every single day—and with good reason! The food here is simply out of this world. From the mouth-watering tapas, which were a delightful mix of flavors and textures, to the traditional roast dinner that was as comforting as it was delicious, everything was cooked to perfection. And don’t even get me started on the apple pie—it’s truly to die for. Each bite was a slice of heaven, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Beyond the food, the ambience of the pub is fantastic. It has that perfect blend of warm, cozy, and welcoming, with a lively atmosphere that makes you feel at home, whether you're a regular or just passing through. The décor is charming, and the subtle lighting creates a wonderfully relaxed vibe. What really made my experience special was the incredible service, particularly from Sharon. She is such a gem—warm, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Sharon made sure that every visit was memorable and went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect. Whether you're local or just visiting, The Staff of Life is a must-visit. The food, the service, and the atmosphere are simply unbeatable. I’ll definitely be back!

Very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble with my food allergy. We had Sunday roast which was delicious and plentiful and after a short break we found room for dessert. Will definitely visit again when in the area.
