Ashfields in Hinckley and Bosworth

Birthday meal with family starter Asian beef salad stringy beef burnt crispy coating and covered in fried onions with soy sauce dreadful. Main lamb was OK dessert was Eaton mess more like Eaton mush. Over priced and pretentiousness. Great waiting staff very friendly

Burger and cocktail night was fabulous and excellent value for money, good choices and the best starters by far. Loved the beef croquettes could eat them every day, waitress and staff were very friendly and helpful. Don’t normally eat onion rings but they were divine and perfectly cooked Definitely returning

The food was amazing, apart from last time we visited we got told that if we informed them ahead that there would be more Vegan options for my party. I rung and booked 8 days in advance and when we turned up had one vegan option for a starter and main, which was the same when we didn't inform. The people serving the food was also great, yet the main front of house lacked the welcome touch. We was a large party and wanted an itemise bill, after requesting one, we got quite a bit of attitude and they really need a system that would give them that level of detail, so the party can split the bill correctly. I live down the road from the restaurant and always used this place as a treat and for special meals, not any longer, front of house needs work from an ownership and managerial level

Food great service great mmmm bill please guys check your bill done for £14 already £63 a head without starters just check and double check

What a beautiful meal we had at lunchtime today. The beef medallions were cooked to perfection and the seasoning and sauce was spot on. The Eton Mess was the best I've ever had, it was superb. Thank you

We have used Ashfields for decades. After it changed ownership we have used it less. The food is really good, unfortunately for me it has lost that little bit extra customer service on the serving side which makes it average. Like I said the food is lovely, tasty and a good menu which a wide choice.

Had a great lunch today. The food was great and each course a winner for taste and texture. The service was spot on, lovely and informal but always there. Our 21 month old toddler loved it also and ate all 3 courses. The wines was lovely as was the beer We also thought that the portions were generous for fine dining. All in all a great meal, that all of us enjoyed

We visited Fourwards for lunch yesterday (20/12) as a bit of a birthday treat for myself. We haven’t been since it was Ashfields, and that was a long time ago. What can I say, apart from why have we not visited sooner?! (We live very local to the restaurant). The service from the start was fantastic. The food was faultless! We will definitely be back again as a regular visit. Apologies for not knowing names, but a special thanks go to the waitress for your excellent service, the barman for offering to do an off menu cocktail, and I believe it was one of the owners for your kind gesture. It was very much appreciated and we shall be back soon! Thank you all!

Six of us visited Fourwards last night for dinner. It was unanimously agreed that our dinner was fantastic. The service was first class too. All of our meals were piping hot. Our steaks were cooked just the way we ordered them. The wine was lovely too. All in all, it was most certainly a fantastic experience. Of particular note was the most fantastic black garlic and truffle sauce to go with my steak. STUNNING

The most delectable, delicious, original and imaginative tasting dishes. Tastebuds tickled and tantilised, i just didn't know food could taste this good. Everything cooked and presented with such precision and care. Makes other fine dining restaurants seem like junk food.

Went for Sunday lunch as Jen recommended it from her past visits. There was a friendly welcome and it seemed well run with a short wait in the bar whilst ordering and then we were moved into the restaurant. All the food didn't dissapoint and everything was perfectly cooked. I had the pork belly and Jen had the chicken, but I have to say the star of the show was the carrot. I even rated it above the carrot that I had at Everards Meadows, praise indeed! We had 3 courses and the dessert just about beat us. I thought it was great value for money and will definitely be back in the future. Great food with great company, can't beat that for Sunday lunch!

This was a recommendation from a friend to go here as Doris lives in Hinckley The service and food were amazing. Doris is blind so the taste is everything I have never seen anyone demolition their sticky toffee pudding like that !! And the jewel in the crown was we did not pay for Doris's meal how special she had the most amazing day Thank You so much we will be returning and buying vouchers for our friend for Christmas I have spread the word with all of my friends who will be coming and we will return our go-to place for service ambience amazing staff and food can't thank you enough you went that extra mile Megan x

We went here for dinner and absolutely loved it. The ambience, space, music and the service, all brilliant. And most importantly the food was really delicious and well presented. Highly recommend.

We booked the newly opened Private Dining room. It was a set menu and was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The food was some of the best I have eaten!!!! The staff were knowledgeable and explained every course in great detail ( of which there were many) I would definitely recommend this room if you are a party of 8...

Now called Fourwards This restaurant serves beautifully tasty and presented food, high quality ingredients and all delicious. Unfortunately the experience doesn’t match the taste, the only menu is on the bar wall, which is not ideal when visiting in a medium to large group, with elderly relatives or children. The reason was due to changing the menu daily, but why not buy individual boards for the three food areas rather than having it only once. There wasn’t a clear distinction between starters and mains and the price was scrawled on as an afterthought. There were no children’s options other than ‘smaller versions of some of the mains’ which were not much smaller and the charge was not clear on this. There was no cordial for the children either, what restaurant is unable to keep a couple of bottles of squash behind the counter? The atmosphere was lovely, the temperature of the rooms good and the facilities were great and really clean. Unfortunately we felt very unwanted, the staff were keen to chat to regulars but not those who have come in for a special occasion. It is understandable that there are ways the staff work but unfortunately these were quite rudely portrayed and didn’t accommodate on an individual basis. For a couple or a small groups of adults, this restaurant is fantastic, as above the food was incredible but it is not great for families wanting a special meal with multiple generations

Four of us went for Sunday lunch recently and overall it was really good. The starters were amazing and the Sunday roast is one of the best. So far so good. We decided to have dessert 2 Sticky toffee puddings, very nice, 1 chocolate brownie, excellent and panacotta with rhubarb, the rhubarb part of the dish was tough, couldn’t cut it with cutlery provided and it was so sharp it was not very nice. Ok these things happen. Raised it with the waitress. No response, No offer of a replacement dessert. Raised it again when we went to pay the bill. All we got was a half hearted apology. This is a great place to eat. Disappointed by their approach to our complaint.

First visit today and we were not disappointed. Sunday lunch was amazing and the gravy was delicious, all the positive reviews are well deserved. Staff were friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure. Thank you so much 😊

A beautiful building awaits your arrival and exactly opposite a free car park. The Staff are extremely attentive throughout your visit. They want to listen to your comments and deliver an exceptional service. The menu is on a huge board in the bar. A board you can actually read , as let’s face it menu print is getting more difficult under low lighting to look through. You could be there for hours just choosing the menu itself. Everything is there and definitely something for everyone. The wine menu is exceptional and the choices available compliment the food admirably. The food is cooked to perfection and one of the sides that can be ordered (peas and pancetta) is an absolute must. You could eat that dish just on its own. The 3 courses my husband and I had were completely opposite. Meat and fish choices, except for the pudding and cheese, but non the less perfect. I highly recommend a visit to this exceptional restaurant and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Guys for the most relaxing evening. See you all again soon.

Since changing Hands, the Restaurant looks brighter inside. The food quality was very good, very tasty and good size portions.The layout and presentation of the food was also very good. My only neagtive, was there was no menu, when we arrived there was just a chalk board, a paper hand out would have been much better, and also when we ordered desert the waitress read out the choices, which as she had a mask on was not so easy to hear her as I suffer with hearling loss too.I would definitely return as the food was first class, please just give a customer a paper menu.

The food was brilliant... I would return for the gravy alone. Well worth a visit if your close enough. Brilliant that there's free parking opposite, and even a little park to walk off the food after.

Wide choice of food. We had four different starters all fabulous. 4 mains again all diffent and well presented cooked to perfection and subtle flavours. Again the desserts were superb. All through the meal the staff were attentive and friendly ,and professional. Excellent choice of wines The management's covid protocol and action was perfect attention to detail exactly as it should be to make THAT difference for reassurance.

My first visit under the new management. Some trepidation in making a booking as social media promotion seemed a little pretentious. Parking is never a problem as there is a free public carpark opposite. Covid precautions good. A warm greeting on arrival and service thereafter was exemplary. The décor is contemporary. The menu was displayed on a blackboard in the bar area is not ideal if you are sitting next to it as you can't see the full range without getting out of your seat which means you have to don your mask again. I enjoyed my meal. Scallop to start with was nice but only one on my plate was a surprise granted it was a big one, My partner had cheese soufflé very good, unsurprisingly rich, so I had to assist in clearing her plate. Mains was Stone bass. My first time for this fish it was well cooked but no depth of flavour. To make up for this 2 rich sauces accompanied the dish. The peppers seemed to be undercooked and strangely bore stems which are not edible. The greens had very firm veins. Our bottle of Albarino was excellent accompaniment which cut through the richness of the meal. Going here took my back to the days when French cooking was the Gold Standard when food was rich, creamy and too buttery. The current fad now seems to make ingredients too complex and numerous. It was a contrast to the usual pub restaurant meals available in the area. For a special occasion it is well worth a visit particularly as the staff were so good.

Was lovely to finally meet up with friends again! We definetely chose the right place, the food was amazing, fresh Orkney Scallops! Nice ambience, pleasant staff, would highly recommend 👍

So me and my husband have ate here several times and this place is definitely our favourite. We do like eating in fine dinning restaurants.The food was amazing, i had the prawns for starter followed by the lamb. My husband had the smoked salmon followed by the masterchef beef, We ordered a dessert each which was so tasty. The service from the staff was great and i was very impressed with the young guy with glasses(sorry i don't know your name) He was chatting to us about the different options of white wine and the French sauvignon. We left a good tip which was well worth it.Very impressed, we have booked for fathers day! definitely love this place. Thanks Claire and Pete Harrison

Last year we had booked a table for our anniversary but the pandemic happened and we were gutted we couldn't make it. Come forward one year and we finally got to have an anniversary meal. And what a great meal it was. From the start we were welcomed warmly by David and shown to our seats. We were offered blankets/hot water bottles which was a lovely touch. I ordered the Porky Pig hotdog and my partner had the chicken ham hock and wild garlic pie and we both loved it. Easily the best hotdog I've ate. My partner loved her pie as well. But the cherry on top was the sweet potato fries. My days, amazing! We then both had desserts and they were brilliant as well. Overall a great experience considering what is going on for the hospitality industry. When they open up indoors we will be back again for sure! Can happily recommend to anyone who wants some good food, great service and a lovely venue.

We had our first proper meal out and the food and service was amazing! Staff very friendly and everything felt safe, the outside space is lovely. Fantastic job, thanks again!

We had our first meal out since lockdown eased an were not disappointed in Ashfields. The staff have created a wonderful covered outdoor area with fairy lights an foliage, yes it wasn’t very chilly as it’s april but they’ve got blankets on hand for that ! much appreciated. The food was brought out in takeaway style boxes an wrappers which didn’t take anything away from just how good the food was ! Absolutely amazing quality !!!! Lots of choice on the menu for people . Felt safe the entire time with staff wearing masks an people socially distancing well . Totally recommend this lovely place .

Absolutely stunning takeaway sunday lunch, beautiful meat, beef was pink and tender ,pork was perfectly cooked , lots of vegetables, creamy mash , amazing gravy, blondie dessert was to die for, all served hot , well worth the money

Absolutely amazing food, there was so much there as well. Considering it was burger and chips the quality was top! Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Can't wait to eat in there again properly

Great experience. Order was placed over the phone with Chloe who was clear, friendly and professional. We arrived at the restaurant on time to be greeted by name. The food was ready on time.. The burgers were delicious . We also had fries, sweat potato fries and chips - the portions were very generous. Would highly recommend - looking forward to our next visit.

Ordered starters and mains home boxesExcuse the presentation as not as not to restaurant standardThe flavours and taste was outstanding. Everything provided and instructions very goodWhile restaurant is closed due to COVID restrictions it’s the next best thing Recommend to all as it’s a brilliant experience and is outstanding food

Having not been out together all year due to working away and lockdown, this visit is just what we needed, absolutely brilliant, felt very safe, well organised, staff very friendly the food and service was exceptional we would recommend to anyone, thank you

Fantastic lunch on the 28th October, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The braised beef in ale was superb, as was the sticky toffee pudding. We would highly recommend a visit. Thank you for making it a special birthday.

We attend as a table of 6 for Sunday lunch as a 60th birthday celebration. Excellent food and superb service. They allowed us to have a surprise birthday cake delivered prior to our visit, and added candles, lit the candles and bought the cake out with the waiter singing happy birthday. Fantastic!

We visted Ashfields whilst visiting from down South. The service by Dave and co was fantastic, all very welcoming and friendly.The food was delicious and great value for money. The blondie pudding was the best we've ever had at an eatery.Thanks for a great evening.

Absolutely fabulous. What a gem of a place. Warm welcome fab staff. Lovely cocktails. Beautiful food. Worthy of Michelin ratings. Highly recommend investigating.

Awesome little gem buried in the heart of Leicestershire, the food was incredible and the service and drinks top notch. Really Covid secure with lots of little touches that made it feel Very special, will definitely be back to enjoy more great food .

You know how they say first impressions count - well this little local fine dining boutique restaurant absolutely blew my mind! Despite the crazy year we’re having, the restaurant and staff took it in stride to make sure the customer and themselves were as safe as possible with plenty of sensible covid19 protocols. The food was tasty and plentiful (it’s rare for me not to finish my main and sides...) and the menu very creative. It changes daily during Covid. The cocktails and mixologist were amazing too, certainly would give any London cocktail bar a run for their money!Highly highly recommended restaurant.

Great food and service as usual. Tables nicely spaced out for covid distancing. However, I sat on the end of the table and was leaned over several times for them to place down the food of the person next to me. I would have felt much safer if they had a visor or face mask covering under current circumstances.

Absolutely perfect Sunday dinner celebration! Good choice of starters and incredible lamb main, not your average Sunday dinner! Thank you XX

The food was absolutely amazing, not massive portions, but my god it was tasty. You could not fault it. And the drinks went down a treat too.My only criticism would be, when we arrived we had to sit in the lounge area, there were no menus due to Covid so all the choices were on a blackboard, we sat there for some considerable time, before our table was ready, it was very uncomfortable seating and as the front door was open all night, it was cold. The temperature in the restaurant was pretty much the same.

Absolutely love this place. We’ve had 4 or 5 delicious Sunday roast takeaways from them in the last few months and every one has been perfect. Every part of the meal is bang on! Give it a try and you won’t go anywhere else for a Sunday roast!! Lovely staff too - thanks fourwards at ashfields team!! :-)

5 of us as a 2 family had a lovely Meal last night. The owner I believe David was really friendly, helpful and accommodating. Charming restaurant, beautifully decorated and friendly staff. The menu was varied and interesting. We had , lamb, fish and chicken and starters All were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented - and plenty of it. We also shared a starter which were lovely. Quite pricey, but justified given the quality of the food, service and surroundings. A perfect evening, thank you.

Came here for a birthday meal with 4 friends, the food was absolutely amazing could not fault it. Customer service was the same, allowed us to sit in the bar at the end of the night after dinner where we had great cocktails and nothing we asked was an issue for the servers! Highly recommend to anybody!

10/10 fabulous meal out, couldn’t fault the food or the service, considering the difficult times we find ourselves. Social distancing was spot on and we felt very comfortable and safe eating here. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be returning soon.

Food was 10/10. The service was spot on perfect timing with everything. It was a real shame the atmosphere was ruined by a couple of moaning customers other than that I would fully recommend Fourwards at Ashfields will definitely be returning.

we dined last night (22/08/20), we must say the food, drinks and staff were spot on, from the moment we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile from all of the staff which then explained the menu and COVID procedures, the COVID procedures were spot on and we felt safe throughout the whole meal. Once we decided we were then guided through the busy restaurant to our table on the balcony, the atmosphere was amazing, everyone was laughing and enjoying their night.The crispy beef starter was to die for, then the steak for main just mealted in your mouth! Outstanding food as always. Before we opted for desserts we choose to have a few cocktails, my son and his boyfriend had the smokey rum & smokey cokes and myself and my husband had the cocktails of the night. Once these arrived we decided to have a cheeseboard to share and 2 other desserts, as always it was spot on, the cheese was soft and perfect to eat.Thank you to your staff for making my sons birthday meal spot on! never a fault when we come to dine at Fourwards at Ashfields

Excellent night out, staff, food, drink outstandingFrom arriving we were greeted and shown were to sit so all can social distance. We were given forms to fill out for tracking COVID 19. As guess were shown to seating areas for food staff were very quick at cleaning and clearing tables they had sat at in Bar area. While we were enjoying our drinks there were two visitors who came to do spot check visit. The management went through all the procedures that they are doing, showed them all records on file, they checked the toilets and the kitchen and seemed to leave without any issuesWe were asked what we all wanted to drink which we ordered, drinks arrived and we reviewed menu on blackboards on the wallWhen ordering food we were asked if any allergys which one of us had an egg allergy and another a prawn allergy. All was discussed to make sure all ok for those with allergies and all was double checked with the kitchen and they went above and beyond to ensure .The tables have been spaced out for social distancing, there is one way in and another way to leave. Toilets have small hand towels for drying hands which are all took away and washedAs always a great experience but even more so with restrictions in place making all feel very safe, staff very helpful at all times The food is always very good, plenty of choice and the flavours are excellentStaff and owners need to very proud to providing such an excellent service Would fully recommend to anyone who enjoys a relaxing enjoyable meal out

Me and my partner went out for a date night to Ashfields, my goodness! I’m so glad we chose to go there. The food was to die for The staff were all very professional and they all took the new normal very seriously. If I could recommend a meal to try upon your visit it would definitely be the masterchef, I promise you will not be disappointed. I am pretty fussy when it comes to steak but it was cooked perfection! Unfortunately, whilst in the restaurant the table next to us was very rude to the staff and seemed like they just wanted to moan about everything They were loud (like they were trying to get everyone’s attention in the restaurant) rude and in my honest opinion stuck up. My other half was so close to saying some to them, we felt so sorry for the staff. These times are hard enough without having people try a drag as business down. I have noticed they have left a charming review below, please please ignore it. As someone that was there at that time I can honestly say that the restaurant was not at fault. This is the main reason for my review as I do not feel it is fair for a business to be dragged down in such a way. I can also confirm that the health and safety regulations following covid-19 is being carried out. A message to the owners and staff... keep doing what you are doing. You are all so professional! The restaurant, the food and the overall service is perfection. You should be proud of what you are doing. See you again soon, we will definitely be back again!!

Customer service left a lot to be desired during our recent visit. I understand things may not always go to plan however the way the management dealt with an error of theirs was very poor and frankly unprofessional. The worst service experience I have encountered in a long time. I truly hope the management team at Ashfield's take this feedback on board as there are serious misses in their service standards. Given our recent experience we will not be returning and can not recommend.

I very rarely leave reviews although I felt the need to after eating here tonight. We had a 3 course meal and every course was outstanding along with the presentation in which it was served. The restaurant itself was superbly decorated and looked great along with the friendly welcoming staff. Look forward to returning soon.

We last visited in December for my wife’s birthday, this time it was mine. I felt that everything was as good as last time except for the lack of atmosphere, obviously due to Covid and it was a Thursday so the government offer is not in place. We were not concerned by this as it meant our order was served in super quick time. As per our previous visit the food was good and served hot. The steak was delicious as was the red wine jus. Neither of us liked the dauphinois potatoes but that was personal taste, there was nothing wrong with them. Service was great and we had no room for sweets so they did one up for us to take away. We’d absolutely come again.

Ate here last night, our first meal out since lockdown so thought we would take advantage of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme and we also had a gift voucher to use that was given to us at Xmas. It was very busy but tables in waiting area were well spaced and menu's are on a board on the wall. Chose 6 dishes from the tapas menu to share at £6 each. Were shown to our table and food arrived promptly. All very tasty, although we did feel that some of the dishes we had chosen did not justify the price tag, ie the sourdough bread, the garlic prawns (only 4 prawns) the buttermilk chicken (only 3 pieces) and the calamari. We followed with deserts, hubby had 3 small scoops of ice cream priced at £6.50 and I had warm waffle fingers with a caramel dipping sauce (which would've been nicer if it was warm as well) again for £6.50, sadly I have to say that the ice cream was definitely not worth the price tag. To go with his meal hubby had chosen a bottle of Chablis priced at £29.95 (I was driving) and I had a floater coffee to finish at £6.50 (which could've been warmer). All this said we had enjoyed our meal and asked our waitress for the bill. It came and straightaway hubby picked up on the fact that the bottle of wine had been missed off. Being the honest people that we are we pointed this out to the waitress and she returned with a new bill. The scheme discount of £10 each had been deducted from the total so we gave, in payment, our gift voucher and then our debit card to pay the balance that was left. Our waitress said she would have to get someone to deduct the gift voucher but when she returned we were told that they weren't accepting gift vouchers on days when the Eat Out to Help Out scheme was running. I questioned this as on the .gov website it states that you can use it at the same time as other offers and discounts. She went to speak to the owner who said no we are not accepting gift vouchers on a Tuesday or Wednesday, no acceptable reason given, just no we aren't taking them. The waitress herself and the young man serving drinks were not aware of this, he had said earlier when I mentioned that we had a gift voucher "yes that's ok just treat it as cash when you pay", they hadn't been given the instruction that gift vouchers were not being accepted on a Tuesday and Wednesday. So not wanting to make a fuss and embarrass ourselves in front of the other diners we advised the waitress that we were not happy but would pay the bill and return another time to use the voucher. Ashfields, what I don't understand is what is the difference between us using the gift voucher last night or tonight? You have had the money that purchased the voucher in your till since 21st December last year and that is all profit for you as it has not been exchanged for goods or services (food or drink). It says on the voucher use this as you would cash which we were trying to do but were for some reason not allowed to. The scheme discount of £20 that was given to us you will get back from the Government so you will not be out of pocket. Correct me if I'm wrong and I might be missing something here but I really don't understand why we weren't allowed to use it. It might be prudent to make other potential diners aware of this on your social media pages and your website so that they don't have the same experience that we had. The four stars I have given is purely for the food etc up until we asked for the bill, it then goes down to two stars or if I'm being generous three stars. Next time I book I will confirm that I can use the gift voucher before I make the booking. Disappointing and not the usual service we get and expect from you. I would appreciate your comments in the form of a reply, thank you

Just been for Saturday lunch with 3 others. The food was excellent. 2 of us had the tapas selection and the other 2 had the set menu. Everything was delicious and so flavour some. The portion sizes were excellent. Everything was so clean and the waiter very attentive without being intrusive. Plenty of room around our table. The toilet was spotlessly clean.

Our first time out for Sunday lunch since lockdown and it had to be Ashfields. The food was delicious, as always; the welcome was warm, as always and the service and attention to detail - incorporating covid-19 measures - was spot on. Thank you to everyone involved in delivering a relaxed, dining experience and for providing a little oasis of much-needed 'normal'.

Myself and my partner both had the steak and all I can say is wow! Fabulous food and impeccable service situated in a beautiful restaurant. We will definitely be back soon.

Well slowly people are trying to restore some normality but some are still a little Apprehensive! Would highly recommend Fourwards at Ashfields, they have put so much effort into making it a safe environment to eat in but also a welcoming one, beautifully decorated, new plush new toilets, the food is just amazing 5*. Had a lovely midweek catch up with a friend last night, if anyone is worried about getting back out there try it! you will be pleasantly surprised and you will be supporting small businesses, they need you

Just had Sunday lunch, absolutely terrific. Adhered to social distancing, very pleasant and nice atmosphere.

As this was our first meal of out of lockdown it was only fair that we went to our favourite restaurant Fourwards.We weren't disappointed at all. All of the staff kept their distance and the tables and restaurant was kept to the government guidelines, this made us feel that extra bit safe as for an elderly couple like us we did feel nervous going out and we expressed that to the staff upon arrival, they made sure we were kept safe and COVID free! We were extremely happy to see ID checks were being carried out upon arrival due tot the local Leicester lockdown. Once we were sat in the bar area we were told about the menu ( written on the board ) and we weren't given that much time in the bar due to being busy and making sure we had our own separate space in the restaurant. During this time we were asked to fill in a track and trace form, we were then asked about drinks, my husband had his usual a smoky old fashioned and I had a limoncello Martini.We were then guided through to the restaurant which has been modernised and to a fine dining standard! By the time we had sat down at the table our drinks were their waiting for us! Brilliant service.Once our starters were brought out, a beautiful Goats cheese soufflé with tender beetroot aswell as my husband had a gorgeous Pigeon. For Mains we both had a tender mouth watering steak, cooked to the Chef's recommendation. This steak made the wait of dining in a restaurant worth it! Not only was it cooked to perfection the seasoning and presentation was 10/10For dessert we both had a lemon tart with raspberry sorbet and tulle, this was one of the best desserts ive ever had, you could definetley tell that the whole desert was freshly made that day! well done. We then relaxed at our table as we were told this table was for us for the whole evening! We relaxed having a double espresso each and a home made petit four. The only thing I would say about our evening is that none of the staff were wearing face masks or face shields, this isn't a criticism its a personal preference, when we were exiting the building I did ask the young barman about why you weren't wearing any shields, he said that as this is the new 'normal' they felt that they would rather make the customers feel relaxed and at ease by not wearing any. After having this conversation I 100% agree it did make myself and my husband which are at an elderly age less stressed and worried about the situation as they had clear floor markings, posters around the restaurant and hand sanitizer situated in main areas.Overall it was a fantastic meal and brilliant service, we will be booking in soon for TAPAS in your new garden area soon .

Bar/waiter,waitress Staff were very friendly.Little dissapointed that prawn cocktail & roast turkey was not available .Cheese board - 1 of the cheeses was unavailable goats cheese given as subsitute no grapes & 4 small crackers which for the price I thought was not value for money.One of the group had the crumble. The crumble was just loose on the top of the dish. The vanilla custard came in a very hot very small jug with no handle. When picked up it was dropped due to being hot & no handle & when all over the tablecloth & my husbands fingers. I did mention this to the staff at the end of the meal when asked if everything was ok I also mentioned the gravy jug also comes out hot & again no handles.I think this could be a health& safety issue.We did enjoy our meal & the restaurant has been updated to a high standard. The toilets in particular are really top class.We will visit again & hopefully my comments will have been took onboard.

First restaurant visit since lockdown closures. Sunday 4pm booking for 2.So happy that i choose to eat at Fourwards - Ashfields, it was by far the best meal I've ever had. Firstly, my beer tasted fresh and better tasting than previous beers poured in the pubs so that is a highlight. Starter: Goats cheese soufflé with beetroot was the winner for me with the rich tastes and the contrast of the soft soufflé with the crunchy beetroot. My girlfriend had the Pigeon, mushrooms and jus sauce, my first time having pigeon and i will definitely have it the next time i visit this restaurant.Main: The menu had a great variety of mains and i would have chosen them all. Me and my girlfriend pre planned to have the Fillet steak, due to not eating a steak for so long due to restaurant closures. We both added tiger prawns in a garlic butter sauce to complement the main. Loads of fun sides described in the Images i have attached below. We smashed it and was delighted with everything. Large glass of Rioja to go with.Pudding: Pushing the boat out I had my favourite pudding due to great memories, Sticky toffee pudding. It was really light and mega tasty due to the toffee sauce, girlfriend ate all the sugar shard before i could so guess that was nice too. Service was great with lots of attention to us. Overall I was delighted and i will be going back on a Sunday to try the roast dinners.On to the next restaurant - post covid.

This is the first meal out for us since lockdown has been lifted (5/7/20). It would have been excellent but a few things let the restaurant down. Supporting my local business is important to me, and to note the issues we faced today were not related to COVID-19 issues. The restaurant was very clean, orderly, and clearly tables set out well for social distancing. Tables wiped down and chairs etc after each table had finished, more so than you’d usually expect, even in the initial bar waiting area. Orderly system of people waiting outside if no room inside the bar waiting area. A form to fill in and ID checked to ensure we hadn’t come from locked down Leicester. After ordering in the waiting area, we were quickly shown to our table. They had a busy service but the food arrived orderly and a normal amount of wait in between courses and before receiving our starter. So to reiterate top marks for cleanliness, service and managing the numbers of clients in the restaurant at the same time, without social distancing being compromised at all. So the couple of downsides we experienced today. My starter was goats cheese soufflé with beetroot. The beetroot was too hard to eat. But other than that a nice dish. A little bit more disappointing was my OH who had roast beef as a main, his beef still had string in. I did make the waitress aware and she reported back to the kitchen and just offered us an apology. Which to be fair, I would expect more, quite glad my OH didn’t swallow it! I did expect a gesture of goodwill but alas nothing. The accompanying cauliflower and broccoli bake was burnt on top and just water in the bottom, not a nice sauce, overdone completely. Finally our pudding of lemon tart and raspberry sorbet had a burnt tulle on top and was inedible. We did enjoy our lunch out after months at home, but feel some basic errors here and customer service re the string could have been better.

Fathers Day Sunday Lunch Take AwayFood very good, tasty and plenty for allBetween us had chicken, beef and lamb and all was perfect Well done to all and can’t wait until restaurant can openDefinitely recommend to anyone Even with restrictions all is easy to access and collect foodThanks to all staff and owners

I was visiting the area to see family and had heard great things about Fourwards at Ashfields. I was not dissapointed! As soon as you are through the door you feel welcome. The waiting staff were amazing and could not do more.The food was incredible! Definitely some of the best food I have ever tasted and I have been to a lot of places. I love what they have done with the place!I come from Devon and know this is now going to have to be tradition then everytime I am back in the area I will be going to ashfields for food!

So we booked a table of 11 therefore we had to pre order. I must say i was very impressed with the service and timing of the food being served. The food was lovely and tasty. The staff were very friendly too thanks

We went to Ashfields on Friday the 28th of February for my wife's birthday as a surprise from the moment we arrived we was greated by the front of house staff who were so professional with a great smile. We sat down and they brought our drinks over to us and gave us our menu to look through and told us about that night specialsThey had taken all our orders and then took us to our table that was beautifully decorated that we didn't know about with a free bottle off champagne witch was a very nice touchThen the foodI ordered a monster off a steak 32oz witch was beautifully cooked to my liking and long with 3 side off my choice the flavour the taste everything was perfect couldn't fault the food what so ever everything from start to finish was just perfect the owners even came out and sang my wife happy birthday witch was brilliant don't really expect that from the owners but they are so down to earth people and will do everything to make your visit the best it can beI couldn't recommend forwards@ashfield enough for what they do it is a must if your in and around them areas

We went to Ashfields for our anniversary meal and the food and service were both exceptional! We could not rate this restaurant any higher and fully recommend giving it a try!

Very disappointing lunch. Pigeon starter very tough, roast beef inedible, sauce over meet thick & didn't seem home made, roast potatoes obviously re heated, cauliflower cheese sitting in water . Very poor meal sitting on stained dirty chairs & surrounded by cobwebs with a dirty sticky table & knives that didn't cut.Very expensive for poor quality food.

Disappointed in choice of food. Would have liked more fish choices. Very busy, so food slow in coming, but staff were amazing, very efficient and very friendly.

Had a great night on Friday. Obviously a busy night with a full restaurant, but expected that at Ashfields given the reputation and quality. Greeted by friendly staff and talked through the food options - really pleased to see full a la carte, special Valentine's menu and a range of additional specials all available, knowing that some places don't (or won't) provide this on 'event' nights. We really enjoyed delicately battered scampi starters, followed by the most beautifully cooked and presented Tomahawk steak to share, a first for us and absolutely mouth watering; a really good choice with a selection of sides to complement. Really pleased that to round it off they were happy to accommodate a sharing dessert plate from the Valentine menu, which included my wife's absolute favourite churros and chocolate sauce. We love Ashfield's !

2nd time visiting Ashfields and we sure as hell were not disappointed. Beautiful food (my partner said it was the best food she had ever eaten) they catered for her dairy and gluten intolerances without any problems. Lovely drinks selection and atmosphere in the bar area and restaurant. The bar staff all have a nice sense of humour and didn't pressure us at all throughout our evening but also made sure we were topped up with drinks and that everything was to our liking. I feel like some of the previous negative reviews are from people trying to get vouchers or freebies because I can't relate any of their comments to Ashfields. I would highly recommend this place as personally it's the best in the area. Fully deserving of the awards they've won. Can't wait to return for another fantastic meal.

Arived had drink in bar area browsed menu we were asked by gentleman if we had any food allegies we replied not as far as we know he tried to make a joke of our reply saying we can give you one if you like "not funy " we ordered or food . We where then taken to our table we had ordered bread and olives as starter then our main course came I had ordered fillet stake when it came I took my first mouthfull of the fillet all could taste was salt same with the chips and sauce when thay asked if food was ok I asked them if thay had put salt on food they said it had been seasond and supplied me with a replacement but now all I could taste was salt no real appologey and didnt even ask if we wanted a dessert

My partner and I revisited this restaurant after having an amazing time when we previously visited in October. However this visit very disappointed did not mirror our wonderful top class visit we experienced in October.

Had a very nice lunch from the 3 course menu, plenty to choose from. Food was really nice and the service staff were very attentive. This was my first visit but definately not my last. If you have never been you should try out this friendly family run restaurant.

Had a beautiful 3 course meal,very tasty and well presented. Lovely friendly service and great value for money. Dessert portions were huge. Lots of choices too. Highly recommend.

Couldn't fault the food - everything was tasty; beautifully presented and portion sizes spot on. Just the place to be on a blustery Sunday.

Well, we dined with you once again last Saturday 1/2/2020. I must say it was amazing!! The new Al a Carte menu is to die for, the specials were filled up with plenty to choose from and there was something for everyone. The cocktail & Mocktail list upon arrival is incredible with plenty to choose from to cater for each taste bud. The dishes were plated with detail, love and care which was amazing looked beautiful. The service was the best ive ever had here last weekend, all of the staff were friendly and approchable, once i questioned one of the waitresses she was very knowledgeable about each dish, i also asked another waitress about some wine for each dish and she went off to get the young barman, he was very knowledgeable and went into depth about each wine and why he would pair it to the dishes i chose, in the end he gave me a wine flight from starter to dessert and even a little tipple with my coffee, well done!

We recently dined as a family of six on busy Wednesday night after hearing talk in the town about the Fourwards 3 courses for £20.

we were taken to the restaurant on christmas eve 2019 , and i have to say we were looking forward to a nice meal. Sadly it turned out to be the complete reverse. we were all on a set Christmas menu , my choice was roast beef , oh dear what a mistake , the beef was overcooked and covered in a very thick gravy the roast potatoes seemed to have been cooked in the morning and then re-heated. the vegetables were very sub standard , my wife and and my daughter with her partner had roast turkey with the same gravy and roast potatoes and sadly they were equally as disappointed. Because it was achristmas present from my daughter we did not want to make a fuss , I did make few points to the head waiter who offered us a coffee on the house . I have since had conversations with the rest of the family that attended at the time and it was exactly the same comments. .Sadly not Impressed and will not be returning

I visited for the new years eve celebrations and it was absolutely mind blowing the food was to die for. We had a great time and the staff couldnt have done more for us. On the drinks we experienced a smoked cocktail for the first time.

We returned with our family for a Christmas eve meal having all been before for a birthday celebration, which was excellent, and I reviewed that meal with 5 stars.

All the staff here are really friendly,knowledgable and attentive.Service was quick considering how busy they were.All the food we all had was top quality.The triple cooked chips are the best i have ever eaten and the creme brulee is divine.Thank you.We will be back soon.

My hubby and I dined here for the first time tonight and we were absolutely overwhelmed with the quality of the food. We had garlic king prawns and a fish Kiev starter followed by the Masterchef winning fillet beef main meal and finished with vanilla bean Creme brûlée and glazed lemon tart. All 3 courses were absolutely divine! The staff were friendly and attentive and service was great! I cannot recommences this place highly enough!

We’ve been coming here for years as it was one of the best restaurants in Leics. We didn’t like the ‘set’ menu as we found it too limiting. The meal was very expensive and not up to the usual quality. Our main bug-bear was an irritating waiter who was very ‘over the top’ to the point where he was invasive! Sadly we won’t be returning. A real shame as we’ve visited with friends every Xmas for the last 15 years!

Wow 22 people, fabulous food, surroundings, amazing staff, highly recommend for a get together Thank You ☺

Nice place to go for a drink really good selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic options, the service was good and the venue is nice.

Well what can I say apart from W O W ! ! !

I have been to ashfields 4 times in December and I’ve lost count of the amount of times throughout the rest of the year. Each time I have been blown away by how welcoming the staff are, with both adults of all ages and children. Which makes the meal relaxing and enjoyable.

Went here for Christmas Eve evening meal.

Four of us visited Saturday evening. We all ordered different items from the menu and every one of us commented on how wonderful our food was.

Four of us ate here on Friday evening and had nothing but praise for the entire experience from the greet at 18:40 to leaving at 23:00 and everything in between.

The meal was very poor for a Christmas lunch the gravy was full of salt the vegetables came one bowl for six people the vegetable bowl consists of cabbage sprouts and garden peas my plate had one roasted carrot my friends plate had one roasted parsnip i've never before ever received a plate like that so so disappointed as I went to the bar for a second glass of wine they only seem to be two staff serving customers and one in the kitchen as I asked for my glass of wine I heard a man say put a brush up my backside and I'll sweep the floor I have been to Ashfields over the years but this time will be my last my friends also said the same

Another fantastic evening at forwards @ ashfields. Fantastic food and service. Great selection of wines. Totally recommend.

Although the food itself was good, a plethora of service issues had a very negative impact on our experience there and we certainly would not return. From keeping us waiting, to forgetting drinks, to spilling drink as it was being poured and then trying to charge us for desserts that we did not have and when we queried it, telling us that it was because they had charged us "cakeage" fees for bringing a birthday cake... there had been absolutely no mention of this until we received the bill for the evening. The manager was unprofessional and rude and made our experience here an unpleasant one. We will not be returning!

we dined in your restaurant, i should in fact say your winter wonderland!!! Your decorations looked amazing! i Love the snowman on the bar!!!

We dined with you on Sunday and what a birthday treat it was, we haven't been to Fourwards for a few months and the new menu was excellent!! i love the way we got our vegetables on a salt baked skin, its such a good way of re using products most restaurants would chuck away!! well done.

Me and my friends decided to try Ashfields for there brunch, having heard so much about it and seeing

Wow what can I say.. this restaurant never disappoints. Thirteen of us this time. Everyone said that their food was outstanding from starter to main course to dessert. Excellent presentation and front of house service. Looking forward to our next visit.Braised beef cooked to perfection

Excellent service and the food was amazing, definitely recommend Ashfields for a special occasion. There were 13 of us all meals came out together and no complaints from any of us. The photo is of how my ‘slow braised lamb’ was presented!!
