Berkeley Arms in Melton

Village pub in a picturesque location along Wymondham High Street. We visited on a Saturday evening for a family meal. Good varied menu with plenty of choices. The food was excellent and freshly cooked and served within a reasonable time even though the restaurant was very busy. We are returning again this week with friends to explore more of the menu.

We had Sunday lunch here after the boys football match. Late kickoff, so brilliant to find a restaurant still willing to serve Sunday lunch after 3pm. Booked online ahead, easy & quick. Food was delicious. We didn’t have a roast. Fish & chips, venison pie & One had a burger & chips. All came in good time and was piping hot. Welcome was warm when we walked in and the staff were friendly & attentive. No room for pudding as the meals were lovely and filling, but the puddings looked delicious too. Will definitely be back.

Second visit and both times the food has been excellent good choice of freshly cooked food and specials to choose from . The venison pie was 10/10 good size portion fresh vegetables great staff, restaurant could of done with being warmer if I was to give any negative.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Berkeley Arms, meeting friends from Nottingham for lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent with plenty of choice and good value (try the venison and red wine pie if it is on the menu). Great atmosphere with the log fire. Will definitely return soon.

Honestly, this is a big shout out to the chefs and all kitchen workers. But mainly the head chef! He knows I love the Brie wedges and it’s literally my favourite food to order. It’s my go to as soon as I see it on the menu. He was Generous enough to serve me 3 instead of two. Nothing can beat the food here. It’s the best. I have nothing bad to say. The front of house staff were lovely and smart. They were welcoming and the service was super fast considering there were a lot of people. Will certainly be back again.

An excellent lunch. A good choice of dishes. A good choice of beers and wines. Will highly recommend. The “Pie of the Day” was particularly good. Packed with good quality meat. Can’t wait for the next one.

Good food amazing service would recommend definitely have the belly pork. Good place to meet friends 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Definitely be back

Second visit to the Berkeley Arms, The Food was fantastic, had the beef and it was beautiful, staff were friendly and helpful, great service, we will be back to see you again, thank you for a lovely lunch.

Such a lovely pub, great atmosphere, amazing food and the best staff, always friendly, smiling and ready to have a joke. Favourite place to go for a meal

Fantastic food & warm welcome Such a find so close to our village Will definitely return soon Can’t wait to try their Sunday roast 👍

A wonderful country pub serving a brilliant selection of beers and great food. Everything was freshly cooked, best venison pie ever. Proper homemade puddings... Definitely one to recommend.

Fabulous moist burgers with excellent side of onions along with a very tasty fish and chips. The mayonnaise is very thick and very tasty. As always the whole meal was fabulous and delicious. Mark as always excellent chat and banter.

Staff were very friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. Band was amazing. Plenty of car parking. This was our second visit will definitely be returning.

Came here for Sunday lunch and their service was amazing very welcoming and dog friendly gave water and treats as soon as we sat down would recommend

Said it before & will say it again, "as village pubs go, the Berkeley Arms really is something of a gem." Our little party of four popped in for a traditional Sunday Lunch - what a treat. The pub is everything one could wish for....

Great service, friendly and homely environment and delicious food. Outside seating is ample and as homely as inside. We would highly recommend.

Fantastic food and service the ladies who where serving where so friendly and accommodating they made us feel very welcome can’t wait to visit again

The ambience was most welcoming, a warm cosy village pub that serves food and drink. The service was efficient and warmly. My wife an I booked a table in the restaurant for an evening meal. The food was excellent as was the wine and beer....

As always it was an excellent meal, always feel warmly greeted and the food is incredible. Lovely to eat somewhere where you know you’re not only eating great produce but local too.

Fantastic evening meal with friendly banter, excellent food for our wedding anniversary and pre 18th birthday meal for our daughter. Can’t recommend enough

The food is always excellent at The Berkeley Arms. The service is so friendly and you don't have to wait long to be served. The atmosphere is Old World and warm. A really lovely night out.

Best pub around, amazing food, lovely people and great musicians! Could come here everyday! THANKYOU

Fantastic Sunday lunch! The size of the meat was incredible! Food is always great! Staff are always very friendly.

Booked last minute on-line for meal outside. After 1.5 hr wait and being told not to be impatient as everything cooked fresh (!) meal finally arrived. Food was great so I forgive the delay. Yum yum

Couldn't fault our meal, we had rhe steak pie, very full of meat and the chicken in sauce which wad divine. The cherry bakewell pudding was delicious! Service was great and friendly. We will be back!

I’ve reviewed this pub before and it’s always a delight. It has a great village pub atmosphere (the type you don’t really see anymore) and many of the locals eat and drink here. For me that’s always the sign of a good pub. The food...

Great place for food and drinks, bar staff are welcoming and friendly especially the old girl behind the bar I think she's called Codie. They offer discounted meals on a Tuesday which are great value for money and taste amazing. Locals are really welcoming and...

The Berkeley Arms never disappoints. We went as a family and enjoyed the lunchtime deal, which is great value for money. All the courses were tasty, but a special shout out for the bread and hummus! The fish and chips are always a winner but...

Been several time recently. The Steak and Ale pie is fantastic. Great pastry, good meaty filling and a rich rich gravy. Wonderful.

Really great food. Best cheesecake for a long time. Very good service, friendly staff and very dog friendly.

Had a fantastic lunch here on Saturday, sausage and mash followed by cheesecake on the lunch for less deal,always different selection of ales on,food and staff always great here, would definitely recommend....

Lovely village pub, nice very friendly staff but a very disappointing menu for vegetarians or anyone gluten intolerant. Only one choice on the menu for vegetarians which was salad!!!!!!!! A large number of people are or like to eat vegetarian food now so a few...

Fantastic service - nothing was too much trouble. We had popped in for a quick bite but ended up feeling much more luxurious. Great menu and value. Highly recommended.

A friendly pub with superb food all freshly cooked. Lots of the ingredients are actually grown by kumar the chef, who has a passion for producing great meals.

I have visited this pub twice and on both occasions have been dissatisfied with selection offered to those with dietary needs. I am coeliac. On the first occasion I was offered their last bowl of icecream for pudding, but they made it inedible by sprinkling...

We went on a Tuesday, very limited menu. When asked if the chef could do a poached egg instead of fried for the ham egg and chips no was the answer, when asked why not, the reply was the chef doesn’t know how to do...

We dropped by on a Tuesday lunchtime and I had the best fish and chips I’d had in years! Light, crispy batter, beautiful fresh fish! The chips, tartare sauce and mushy peas were all homemade and delicious! We sat outside under the umbrella and had...

This is not a cheap lunch spot, but all the dishes we tried were well laid out and the food was very tasty. The waiting staff were attentive and welcoming without being overwhelming, we arrived at a very busy time, so they ensured we had...

Called in for a late Sunday lunch with my family. Such a great atmosphere and very attentive staff. The food was delicious. Definitely going again!

Sad to be writing this review, as I visited this pub twice before and had no problems. But unfortunately I brought my family along today and the service was absolutely terrible, shocking in fact. Firstly our order was taken, and then had to be reconfirmed...

Just had a fantastic meal and excellent service you couldn’t want for a better meal or place to go. Always willing to make your visit a relaxing one. Always a pleasure to visit

Amazing food and service in a warm relaxed atmosphere. I have been here several times and am always blown away by the quality and variety of the food. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the chef is an absolute wizard! Very highly recommended

Absolutely amazing as always great service and great food it does pay off having amazing taste in the very village you live. Thank you so much

Tried this pub after seeing great reviews on food and atmosphere,did not fail to live up to them. Had the pork and roast beef options and thoroughly enjoyed. Well worth the trip to come here.

Clearly the bloke that runs this place has a chip on his shoulder. Narcissistic pub manager that doesn't bother to train his staff, then speaks to his customers in an abhorrently rude manner down his nose - as per the photo - and thinks it...

I've visited this place twice now, and both times, it's been exceptionally good, but the trigger for this specific review was a Sunday lunch and by Sunday lunch, I mean literally one of the most flavoursome Sunday lunches I've ever had. The chef at this...

We arrived for Mother's day early and there was some confusion over the booking but once our booking was clarified we were asked to wait in the lounge area. we found a seat by the fire to wait. Our booking time came and went, so...

A truly exceptional place. Great pub atmosphere, always fabulous food, champion of local produce, caring and intuitive staff.

Really good pub grub. Lovely pub, great beers, good service, plenty of choice for lunch. Recommend the black pudding scotch egg as starter. Excellent!

We went to the Berkeley Arms for Easter lunch and couldn’t recommend it enough. Food was delicious, the best beef!!! Furthermore, service was exceptional even going as far as to cater for our fury friend. We come from the south but will definitely travel to...

Great local pub atmosphere. Delicious food. Great staff. Have had a few evening meals here the past few weeks and everyone delicious. Highly recommended

First time we have visited and will definitely be back! Food was gorgeous, service was great, with friendly staff. Great atmosphere, in a lovely village pub.

We went for lunch for less, good choice of two courses for £18.00 , with option for three courses. We choose a delicious pie with vegetables and chips , gravy on the side. It was hot, tasty and well presented. Followed by cheesecake and a...

Booked a table for 4 to meet our daughter who studies at Nottingham Uni, it's a midway point for us all to meet and dog friendly!! The welcome was lovely, our waitress remembered our dog's name and supplied him with some treats and a bowl...

I had a meal with my family here tonight, and I must say it has got to be THE BEST MEAL I’ve had this year so far. Was very satisfied. The front of house staff were approachable and friendly which is great, the food didn’t...

We stopped in for lunch whilst passing on a walk one Saturday. Very friendly staff, nice decor and atmosphere with a log fire, great pub menu including a lunchtime fixed price special which was great value for money. The food was delicious. I would definitely...

Fabulous Sunday roast! The food took a little while to come out but it was a busy Sunday & the staff were very accommodating when we rang on the day to book a table. The food was incredible and we will be back.

Fabulous food and such friendly service. Very good value for money and a genuine warm welcome from all the staff.

I have visited the Berkley Arms a time or two, both under the previous owners and the (relatively) new proprietors, who had a hard act to follow. Fortunately they have proved more than up for it. Wymondham can breathe a sigh of relief, for they...

We came here tonight since recently moving to the area and can’t fault a thing. Great atmosphere, polite and friendly staff and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the venison steak which was cooked perfectly and a big hearty portion! We will be back.

Fantastic pub, the food was absolutely delicious. The barman was great. Highly recommended and will definitely return soon.

We had the lunch for less, the quality was outstanding. Squid with a chili sauce followed by a homemade burger. Seriously impressive burger; all the trimmings and cooked medium/pink. Such a great spot. Cracking hosting from the owner and bar staff too. Nicely done chaps.

Having always wanted to visit this pub, we finally got there and visited with family for Sunday lunch. I must say, we were so impressed with this friendly and traditional pub, and the food was wonderful. Most of us went for the roast beef, which...

We had an amazing Sunday lunch. We were looked after so well and it felt really Christmassy. This place is amazing and they do so much for the village. We will be back very soon!!

Had a delicious roast. Superb slow cooked lamb and huge yorkshire pudding. Very friendly staff and so near to where we were staying. Recommend.

OMG what can I say . Amazing fabulous delicious . Beautifully plated . Served with a smile . Easy to park . The portions soo big go with an empty tummy . Best food in the area by far .

We had a party for 26 at The Berkeley Arms for a Sunday lunch. The food was exceptional, along with the staff. They could not have done more for us. I would highly recommend this venue.

Called in for a late Sunday lunch. Warm welcoming and one of the tastiest Sunday roasts I have had the pleasure to devour. Highly recommend this pub. Great location close to Wymondham windmill & little stores as well as the great little antique / reclamation...

Four of us went for a meal on Fri 4th Nov. The food was exceptional, as was the service. The manager was both professional, helpful and chatty. A good selection of beers too. This has the feel of a great community pub, and was well...

This is the 3rd time we have visited since June. On our first visit they hosted my mums 90th birthday lunch and did a great job. Faultless. 2nd time we booked a late Sunday lunch. They had no Sunday lunch left except chicken. No roast...

Booked in recently for a family meal. The welcome, service and staff are all fabulous. The meal was also extremely good - everyone’s looked mouthwatering - if you are a fan of a good curry, it was one of the best I have had! As...

The Berkeley Arms has become our "go to" restaurant for a really good Sunday lunch, and this time we took a friend along - who was equally impressed. I had the roast beef (as usual) which was absolutely superb (as usual), as did our guest,...

We visited the Berkeley Arms for an evening meal with friends who had eaten there before and recommended the place. We were greeted and seated by the friendly staff and given a menu with plenty of choice, plus some specials on the chalk board. It...

We have had dinner here a few times and the food is always very good. It's hearty pub food done well. I had a steak pie last time, and it was delicious. The pub has a nice atmosphere and the staff are always pleasant. I...

We have visited the pub several times since the new management took over from the previously successful owners, who now run Hitchen Barn. I have to say we really love the food here, perhaps even more so after the take over. While we love the...

I book a table for lunch as a treat to celebrate my wife's birthday. The bar lady was friendly and welcoming. Our starters arrived followed by the manager who snatched my meal away after the first bite and returned it to the kitchen. On his...

We popped in on the off chance of a Sunday lunch whilst visiting the windmill a short walk away and were delighted when they could fit us in because it is such a pretty pub, the barmaid was friendly and it seemed perfect. The food...

Decided to stop off here on the off chance and what an amazing place, excellent staff lovely atmosphere and amazing burger chips will be visiting again

We haven’t been to this pub since it changed hands a few years ago, but as our local was closed for meals, and we had visitors coming, we chose to eat here. It was pretty quiet at 1pm but then most pubs don’t tend to...

We visited here for Sunday lunch for my birthday. The roast dinner was lovely as was the dessert (although the pear and rhubarb crumble was too sweet for my mum's liking) but the flies really did bother us. It was a warm day and both...

I had not visited this pub for several years and was really disappointed on this visit. One of our table asked if it would be possible to have no carbs on her dinner and just the fish and vegetables. Apparently the chef was not able...

Really delicious Sunday lunch inc x2 kids meals. Meat was amazing! Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend 😍

Popped in here this evening, after a long day’s driving to Essex & back, looking for something to eat & a much needed drink. We went for the beef curry, a large Pinot & a pint on Hells, which was the right choice. The curry...

Living in the village of Wymondham, Leicestershire we are very fortunate to have the pub on our door step.

Arrived for dinner with friends last night. Waited to have drinks order taken when we arrived but this never happened so had to queue at bar to get drinks. Eventually had food order taken. Food was very good but service left the evening disappointing. Had...

Went here for Sunday dinner. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing! It was a bit more experiensive than you would normally pay for a roast dinner but it was delishious. The meat was cooked to perfection!! Would definitely recommend. Lovely traditional pub.

Four of us went for Sunday lunch. Beef and Pork cooked beautifully and yorkies perfect. Friendly attentive staff We will return

We've visited this lovely village pub in Wymondham 3 times now in as many years (allowing for Boris's Lock Down and our trips into Leicestershire) and each time is a treat! For lunch we both started with the crispy squid, dipping sauce and a rocket...

The pub has a cosy atmospher, the Food is great, fresh and delicious. Gorgeous home made pies. Staff were friendly and efficient. Had a great Birthday Celebration.
