Julie was an amazing waitress Dinner was lovely. 2 adults and 3 kids. Large kids meals do come with salad unfortunately, chips extra. I did get sung birthday too though

I was served with promptness and welcome by Julie who was my host - food choice was limited for what I would normally choose - however, the halloumi strips, half roast chicken and jacket potato /salad was my perfect choice. Thank you all.

Food was ready almost too quick and had clearly just been cooked in the microwave - presentation was shocking. Kept being pestered by staff to write a review whilst eating the food. The menu states 2 for £12.99 on any classics but was charged full price at till and when questioned it was told ‘I don’t know’.

Love Hungary Horse, as their prices are affordable and lovely food. Unfortunately Greene King are shutting them all down. The Oadby Owl and the Mill on the Soare have both gone and replaced with more expensive menu's and rebounded as grill and sports bar's. Please don't let this one go, people love an Hungary Horse pub.

I went there for a drink, I ordered 4x black rum, he gave me a glass with a drink and I went to the table, I finished the drink and went for the second one and it turned out that I had already been given a double and when I wanted to buy another one, the bartender said that I had already paid for the one he gave me, he didn't even warn me that I had to pick up the next one, what's more, the second drink had already been made earlier, probably at the same time as the first one, embarrassing, it's hard to find the bartender because he's busy talking to the staff, no quality and professionalism, the bartender just sells panties. There are generally no customers there and now I know why. I don't recommend it

Been going to the Bèes Knees to eat for many many years. The food is always decent. Plenty of choice. They do a reasonably priced cooked breakfast which is always tasty. The kids play area is also annexed off so you ain't got screaming kids everywhere. The staff are always friendly and can't do enough to help. All in all a decent local boozer.

The lad at the bar looked confused what I was ordering, said it slowly he can understand but still didn't, so all food arrived totally wrong, missing items. 1 lot of chicken was so over done it was actually burnt and stringy the other chicken was raw. Definitely not worth the money. So disappointing. We ended up leaving the place with pretty much all the food still on the table.

Having recently moved into the area we decided to try the local Chippy as we had heard it was under new management. What a treat. The fish was delicious, chips were thick and chunky and both were freshly cooked while we waited. Will definitely be back for more! There is no phone number for them at the moment but were told this was in hand. No hesitation in recommending. Friendly staff.

Being our local, favourite and ‘Goto Pub’, rather than cook we decided to go for a nice meal having been many times this year. However, the usual customer experience we are used to had vanished and replaced with the worst Customer Service we have encountered for a very long time. On entering the pub, our reception was less than welcoming. We wondered if the person seating people was having a bad day. We were shown to our table and ordered food/drinks in a timely manner. When the food arrived, we asked for a new salt pot as ours was damp and no salt was coming out. The dark haired girl serving us said, ‘Well if you unscrew the top you can get to the salt that way’, and abruptly walked off. We asked again and were told, ‘Well they are all like that’ and again abruptly walked off. Annoyed by this, I went up to the dark haired girl at the till who was showing a new girl how things are done and told her she can have her faulty salt pot, and her customer service was appalling. Ten minutes later and at the end of our meal she appeared with a little dish with salt in it, we think trying to make a point. Even more annoying and rude. We finished our meal almost immediately, paid (was asked if we would like to leave a tip – I did think of a few choice words), and left Next day, I cancelled our Christmas Day booking that we were looking forward to, with a lame excuse ‘ Having to Work’ as there was not enough space to enter this review. It means that I will lose my deposit (I doubt the Red Cow will read this and refund it), but we cannot risk having our Christmas Day ruined by awful customer service again. I also strongly begrudge spending £300 on Christmas Day at such an unwelcoming place. We will now take our business elsewhere. I do hope the owners of this establishment read this as we were so upset, annoyed and let down. I wish I could give it less than 1 out of 5.
