Burleigh Court Restaurant in Charnwood

Our 1st visit since the refit at BurleighCourt & what an awesome transformation. We dined in The Fifty restaurant. In there we were looked after by Liz, Who couldn't do enough to ensure we had the best experience possible. Service was excellent, The food was excellent & the prices are reasonable too. We won't hesitate to come back. The Fifty is well worth a visit.

Met with son in a warm but private enviroment for a lovely meal. Lin, Olivia and Jake were excellentr and attentive to our needs.

Lucy was a lovely server! She was very attentive polite and friendly. She welcomed us with a big smile each time she came over to the table and helped to meet all of our needs. She recommended us the brownie sundae and it was delicious! Amazing service and amazing food!!!

Poor and very slow service. Food was average at best. Not tried their breakfast but for dinner, I would avoid at all cost!!

I have been to this restaurant many times, for Sunday Lunch, with a party of up to 18 people including children. The meals are always excellent. The service has always been efficient and courteous. A good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Sitting outside in the sheltered courtyard before or after your meal is a pleasure when the sun is shining and the children can have a good run around.

Not as good as expected. Had a sandwich which was very average. I was disappointed with the service. We had booked a table outdoors way in advance and was expecting one to be made up for us out front with views. We had to find are own table which meant sitting to the rear as there were no large tables left with a view. The staff were lovely but did get our order wrong twice. Although apologetic didn’t offer anything complimentary to compensate. The position is stunning and I really wanted to be impressed as it was the 1st time I’d visited and I am local. Sadly won’t rush back.

I ate several breakfasts and lunches, and a few dinners here and it was superb. There was always at least one good gluten free choice, and the lunch and breakfast buffet choices are vast and good. And generally healthy! The service of the hotel and restaurant staff was excellent, and they are mostly younger people which tells me that they have great management.

Venue fantastic, table layout and presentation excellent.Drinks great.Music was average.The saxophonist player was really good.The magicians not bad.Casino good.The food was excellent.Nicely cooked.The soup the starter was absolutely tasty, we had steak which was loveĺy and would have been better if we were given steak knives.The vegetables were plentiful and cooked to perfection.The pudding cheesecake with a brownie in the middle, candy chocolate snaps on top and a mousse was lovely.The food was so filling.The best Christmas meal I have ever had at a restaurant.Well done!!! We will be back.

We don't usually eat our evening meal in BC if we are staying in the hotel but this visit meant I had 2 free evenings and so had food from the hotel restaurant. First visit I ate in and had the venison burger which was super. Second night I ordered fish and chips at the bar and took the meal back to my room. Huge portion of food. Chips were super as was the fish.

I have had Sunday lunch here a few times over the last few years and it has always been very good. Today was no exception. The choice of starters - help yourself - includes a wide variety of fish, including smoked and fresh salmon, trout, prawns and smoked mackerel together with a wide variety of salads. Main course is carvery with the usual meats. Portions are generous. There is a wide choice and variety of vegetables and potatoes all of which are well cooked and very tasty. Plentiful very tasty gravy and other sauces are also available. A variety of cold sweets are available for sweet. Today there was a hot sweet being a Bakewell tart and custard, which was recommended by the attentive waitress. It was absolutely delicious, the best I have ever tasted. tea and coffee is also on hand. All the staff were friendly, professional and cheerful. This is an excellent place for Sunday lunch, spotlessly clean and nice relaxed atmosphere. You won't be disappointed.

First the staff were very friendly and well presented. Sadly that’s the only good thing I can say. I ordered a simple bar menu burger, it cost £16 and the burger was very over cooked and dry. The chips were only okay and I had to wait 30 minutes for the privilege. I will not be returning.

I have been coming to Burleigh Court for 20 years and have always been impressed by the quality of the food. But the last couple of meals have lacked the previous very high standards. Reading the menu gives the impression you are in for a treat but it no longer delivers on quality nor quantity. Meanwhile the prices have risen. Last night I had crab cakes that didn't taste of crab and had a bit of shell. For the main course I opted for wagyu burger which was a poor substitute for a standard chain burger. They need to wind back a bit and try not to strive for excellence and risk missing. The breakfasts are still excellent. No chance of 'improving' those I guess.

We have lunched and dined here for many years including private parties with guests staying in hotel. It was impossible to fault the ambience, food and service. There has now been a change of ownership and our last visit was a few days after the changeover and we said we would return. We did unfortunately, for our daughter's 25th wedding anniversary while they were down from Aberdeen. we had a small family party of six and lunched in the restaurant in solitary state - not surprised. It was a great mistake, the barman needed a shave, the very pleasant young lady who served us unfortunately had had little if any training, not even knowing the correct position of the cutlery etc. this was not her fault! We discovered that the Chef had walked out the previous Friday and been replaced with a contract cook. needless to say the food offering was poor. I am unable to pass any comment on the accommodation now, but it must be better than the restaurant. It is very sad to see an excellent establishment go this way.

I ordered a lamb loin and it was delicious. I had to wait for 30 min as it was very crowed but it was worth. The staff are very nice as well.

Stayed at hotel on business and decided to eat in the restaurant. The menu itself was adequate (for a mid-week business evening), but certainly didn’t excite. I opted for the mushroom pâté @ £6.50. The portion was laughable and served with three very small pieces of (what I assume was) French toast & token greenery. There was barely enough pâté to offer a small scraping onto two of the pieces then it was gone. Very poor and vastly overpriced. Main course I opted for the steak & fries. I asked for medium rare but it arrived well done and leather-like. The plates were cold so the steak and everything on the dish soon followed. Once again @ £21.95 very poor for a supposed quality eatery. For my last course I asked for the cheese board. A selection of 3 cheeses appeared including my favourite Stilton. Unfortunately though, it was served straight from the fridge so freezing cold and rock hard along with the other cheese alongside. It came with (literally) a few small rectangular crackers, 2 or 3 small slivers of celery, 4 past their best grapes (sooooo generous) and the tiniest pot of chutney I’ve ever seen. So smallish fact, it was a task to get the knife in to serve it onto the cracker. Once again, totally inadequate and unenjoyable. So to summarise, a very average rating experience; ‘mediochre’ at very best and certainly not somewhere I’d use (or recommend) again.

Excellent atmosphere, with smart and very attentive staff. I was welcomed and shown to my table. The atmosphere and general decor appears to have been updated since my last stay. The starter of Cornish sardines was pleasant except for the ‘breaded brick’ that almost broke my tooth! This little episode was redeemed by the beef bavette, which was very tasty. The following morning I had a very passable breakfast, once again supported by very attentive staff. Yes I’ll be back but will skip the Cornish Sardine!

Called for Sunday lunch as a party of 11...from nippers to adults..and me the Senior Citizen in the group. Staff as usual, in particular Diane who appears to be in charge at front of house was as usual are helpful self...Will we be back, Yes of course..

Dinner was poor - I ordered sole but it was more like breaded fish you buy frozen and my husband odered a hot pie which was served with cold potato salad! Fortunately a deduction was made to our bill by the friendly apologetic staff. Poor wine selection as had run out due to event 2 days before.

The restaurant menu changes daily so you don't get bored when staying for a week and in all the times that I have stayed, I have never had anything but a really nice meal. The only suggestion that I would make is could there possibly be more than 1 vegetarian option on the included dinner menu.

Excellent value for money. Excellent breakfast and good service. I will be going back when in the area.

I had an excellent meal from a good choice of dishes served in a timely fashion. A really good end to a hard day.

Not been here for little while now but have to say I was impressed. Really good selection of starters in the format of a salad buffet including meats, salmon etc and really fresh.

We did not stay in the hotel but on recommendation my sister booked a table in the Restaurant for a party of eight, family members meeting up from various parts of the country for a pre Christmas Dinner.

For the prices of dishes in this restaurant, we had expected something special. The food, while nice enough, was not exceptionally well cooked. Beware if you are gluten free, they made mistakes with our gluten free order and do not seem very allergy aware. The environment is that of a catering venue, neither cosy or elegant. In summary, fair but not worth the money and we wouldn't return there.

Generally very good food although a little pricey. Unfortunately they ran out of vanilla ice cream on the Friday night which didn't impress our grand daughter.

We went recently for a conference dinner and although had a nice enough time the food was a bit average for a 4 star hotel. Main course of pork loin was nice but the tomato soup starter was very average and the chocolate brownie even more so. Service was efficient but just a bit lack lustre.

We had a half yearly all staff get together, a meeting for c.70 people, and chose Burleigh Court at Loughborough this time round. They have excellent meeting facilities, but what swung it was the ability to have a cooked breakfast beforehand. It worked really well and was a great start to the day.

Nos alojamos en el hotel y después de un ajetreado día pensé que me comí en el restaurante en lugar de salir al exterior. Agradable bar con zona de estar al aire libre que estaba en una cálida bienvenida.

Tuve una cena encantadora en aquí el año pasado, y el servicio era excelente. El único inconveniente era el precio - no había elementos en el menú a un precio razonable teniendo en cuenta su ubicación en el campus, lo que significa que es bastante caro comida para 6 de nosotros para comer.

Mi familia y yo hemos comido aquí en muchas ocasiones y cada vez que hemos tenido un fantástico servicio y una comida deliciosa. El almuerzo de los domingos es excelente, todo está perfectamente preparado, la variedad de carnes es buena y está tallada en frente de usted, patatas encantador asado, con una gran variedad de verduras, salsa deliciosa y el Yorkshire los budines son simplemente perfectas. Por el precio creo que es una excelente relación calidad-precio y está muy bien manejado por el personal amable. Sin duda recomendaría el almuerzo de los domingos.

Desayuné aquí como parte de una estancia de una noche. Artículos de desayuno, pero la selección de frutas es mejor que la media. Tenía una buena huevos escalfados con mi desayuno cocinado.

Decidimos volver de nuevo a corto plazo. Los papás. . Tuvimos tres de esos en el partido. . Como uno esperaría estuvimos más que satisfechos con la variedad de entrantes, y los postres. amins . Vino con gran grupo familiar incluyendo niños grand que estaban bajo 5 cama de edad. Todos encontramos algo que comer de la selección variada de oferta. Pero como el almuerzo es servido por una hora fija entrar temprano, antes de que el slections geta poco finas en el suelo.

Decided to go for dinner at this place as I was staying at Burleigh Court hotel and it was the only choice . Staff were very friendly and helpful . I started with Tomato Basel and it was not bad . My main course was lamb leg steak . It wasn't as I expected but it was ok. For that , I paid £30 which is on the higher side . But being the only hotel in the campus , the can understand it . Overall , it's a good outlet .

I stayed at the Burleigh Court for a week on business and ate at the restaurant a few times. The staff did a good job with their service. The side dishes were all very good. The only issue I had was the duck breast and the seared tuna were over cooked. They should be medium rare not medium well. I also ordered a hamburger from room service and asked for is cooked medium and was told they only cook them well done. Which makes for a dry and tasteless burger.

Stayed here for two nights. Ate at the restaurant on first night only to be well and truly disappointed. We paid over £60 for two courses for two people. We were treated rudely to begin with starting from when they were unable to find our reservation. Our service and food orders were tediously slow all evening despite the place being almost empty. The front of house staff were, as others have said very undertrained and inexperienced. The food was well flavoured but felt more weatherspoons than real restaurant in terms of presentation and texture. The chefs hadn't even bothered to trim the vegetables. Certainly would not recommend any one wastes there money at this place. I've eaten far superior meals at local pubs with passionate chefs and excellent waiting staff. All for half the price of Burleigh Court and would suggest you do the same.

The food in the restaurant was good but it is on the expensive side. The restaurant is in the hotel on the university campus away from the town, this means they have a captive audience. The bar food is much better value, having eaten in both I would stick to the bar food. The steak and Stilton panini was lovely mind you it was £11. The breakfast was good but they seemed a little understaffed for bring out pots of tea

Dreadful- STAY AWAY IF YOUR A LEISURE GUEST. ONLY INTERESTED IN WEDDING PARTIES.If you need customer service do not approach 'Natt' on reception. Abysmal and so UN interested in the hotel business opportunities and clearly'just a job'!

breakfast was included in our package. I found that the food was plentifull but seamed to be cooked a long time ago mushrooms and bacon a bit black

the food is expensive for what it is and the staff are all very young but they try very hard and are all very polite however there does not seem to be anyone overseeing them and mistakes can be made

I had a meeting at Loughborough Uni, We decided we needed to dine and I was taken to the restraint . What a surprise, its most certainly no school dinner here !!A very well established and fitted bar diner. Very comfortable, very pleasant and helpful staff. The service and food are excellent. I would most definitely use the facility again.

Decided to eat in the hotels restaurant, boy was that a fantastic descision. The food was beautiful and tasty and very well cooked. The biggest surprise though was the value for money. It will take some beating.

Really nice experience. I booked a table the week before and the chap on the phone was really nice and bubbly and polite so I was looking forward to my dining experience. We arranged to eat at 1pm and arrived at 12:50pm got a drink and headed in. What a lovely relaxed atmosphere there is! In your own time you can go for starters which was tomato soup (lovely) or fresh salad which looked like it had been prepped with such care and looked really appetising. The staff throughout were really attentive and never let you have an empty glass. There was no queue for the carvery and again the meat looked lush and the side dishes all looked fresh and appealing. I had the turkey with some new potatoes and veg topped off with gravy and it was the nicest sunday lunch I had had in a while. I love a pudding and on choice was a lot of cheesecake...a lot of cheesecake! I would definitely recommend more hot pudding selection as it was only rice pudding..c'mon I am 20 years old, where's the crumble or chocolate steamed pudding! I did have 2 of the chocolate and praline mousse cake things so I didn't go hungry! And then you could retreat back to the lounge for tea and coffee. I felt really relaxed and probably because we had got in just before two massive parties but I would definitely go again - I like to plate up my own meal and pick what I fancy.

I have reviewed Burleigh court before and gave it an excellent review. I now feel as though a new review is required. Why, they have changed the format for Sunday lunch and it is no longer anything special.Previously it was a self service starter with a great selection, followed by a carvery followed by self service desert, again with great choice. This works well and my kidsdont always want carvery and so they fill up on starters, so everyone has something they like. We used to go about once a quarter as a family. It was slightly more expensive than your average sunday lunch but well worth it.I booked a table for today a fortnight ago. Booking was taken. Was advised price had risen slightly but not advised that format had changed.We arrived to be told choice of 4 starters, carvery and choice of 4 deserts. Price was no different. Had 2 kids who were unable to find anything they wanted and so they didnt eat (we didnt pay). I found the choice of starters and deserts uninspiring. The food was nice and i cannot complain about the food we hadWe did register our feelings at the time however what was a family celebration was spoilt as if we had known about the change we would have gone elsewhere. Overall it is now an average 3 course carvery dinner which cannot be justified by the cost and can be eaten at many other places Please, please Burleigh court..change back. The old format was what made you unique and worth the money. Unfortunately we wont be coming back until you do.

Great facilities, very friendly welcoming staff, exceptional food only down fall was lack of drinks on tap to offer at the bar and a long trek to the dinning hall from the bedroom other than that it was brill

I have eaten at Burleigh Court on several occasions for Sunday lunch.It is excellent value every time. The starters are a full meal in themselves. If you like soup it is good, but I would seriously recommend the buffet.... fabulous assortment of meat, fish, salads etc.The main course is a choice of two roasts or both, a fish dish and a vegetarian choice. Every attention is given to detail and there are so many vegetables it's hard to choose. The cauliflower cheese is fantastic!There is always a hot pudding and several cold desserts, and fruit salad.Service is excellent and coffee is served in the area outside the restaurant afterwards. Staff are very helpful always.If you go regularly you can have a 10% discount card.

Stayed in Lodge Rooms for 5 nights and Evening Meals were included. Excellent selection on Menu every night and a good portion of servings! Restaurant and Bar Staff very helpful and efficient, even though some nights the place was quite busy.

As part of a business trip we utilised the restaurant on site for breakfast lunch and dinner. The food was particularly good with a nice range of options. The staff were particularly helpful and assisted where the menu did not cater for all people and adapted well to the requirements of a 60+ group.

Tanto el buffet del desayuno y la comida, como la cena en el bar han sido perfectos, muy variados y buen sabor. Si estás alojado en el hotel es perfecto para no salir.

I have been here on several occasions both for lunch and evening meals.The service has always been polite and efficient with minimal waiting time.The food has always been hot and delicious, I would recommend it to anyone.

We went as part of a large party and while nominally fine it was nothing to drag you back . The food was good and well presented but was average for the cost with an uninspiring menu. The service was polite but slow (it was busy). we has long waits between courses and for taking orders. We all avoided pud as it was taking so long to get served,(well over two hours to have two courses). The drink service was all but non existant. In all it was fine but I don't feel inspired to return.

Very good food with excellent service. No issues at all with the restaurant. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The Sunday dinner is fantastic , very well presented and cooked perfectly . There are usually 3 meats to choose from , fresh vegetables , wonderful Yorkshire puddings, all the trimmings , pigs in blankets , two types of roast potatoes , (one cooked in the fat from the meat) and delicious gravy . There are good vegetarian options too and the desserts aren't bad either . The price is very reasonable for 3 courses and the service that my family and I have received has always been very good . Large bar area with many areas to relax before/after your dinner . Friendly staff , great food , can't wait to go back soon , would definitely recommend to all .

Burleigh court Is A conference hotel on the university campus. The restaurant is very formulaic in its decor similar to every other box type out of town modern hotel, and lacks atmosphere.The food and choice on the menu is adequate with an interesting selection, however many of the items although very good quality appear to be pre manufactured and purchased from hotel catering companies rather than made on site. For example the chicken I had at £16, I found something similar online at £40 for a box of 10, but it was very tasty and well served with well prepared veg. Similarly many of the starters and deserts are pre manufactured. the cost seems quite high compared to other similar hotels (16 to 25 for a main, 5 to 7 for starters and deserts). We paid £40 a head for an above average 3 course meal with coffee wine and a drink. However if you stay I expect you get a deal. Everyone enjoyed their food. The service is good but seemed a bit flakey at times, . An adequate experience for the money and fine if you have to use it but I would not go out my way to do so I think.

Food absolutely great, with plenty of choice and generous portions. Unfortunately the service was far too slow.

Have been here before, so decided that a large gathering would be in order, so chose this place for Mothering Sunday and so a party of 18 were booked for this event.We expected it to be busy as they had a full booking for the 1st sitting and fully booked for a later one. Yes, it was busy but all very well thought out and executed by the staff well.Ironically we were unaware that friends of ours were also their with a party of 12.Everyone in our group were more than happy with what was on offer from the vast array of starters , mains & lovely deserts. all around the room everyone seemed more than happy, Mothers given a token small plant & children not to be left out a small goodie bag to keep them happy.Bravo, you made my 85 year old Mums day(Also her birthday the day before) 6 other Mums in our party all Happy and me as the Guy who suggested the location could take a breath as all was good. The biggest critic would have been my Brother & my Son but again all good. They all said they would like to go back so we are now trying to fit a date in when we can all come back together...that is our issue only finding time for all to attend. So from two large family groups of 30 people all well & good. Prices are very competitive and we find the staff attentive & welcomming even when its busy & I guess they are a little stressed. But the show no evidence of that, they just get on with it.as said Bravo, Thank you & see you again soon

This was our first time ever we had did not have Christmas dinner at home. We had been given a glowing report by a neighbour who had been the previous year so we decided to give it a try. Greeted on entrance by two very nice young ladies with a glass of mulled wine, very nice it was too. Starter I chose was soup, very adventurous, it was excellent. Main course turkey and all the usual trimmings was excellent and very generous portions. By the time we got to dessert I was struggling and this was finished of with coffee and chocolates. We all agreed, we were a party of five, that we could not fault anything. Service, standard of meal and the restaurant were all brilliant. Will definitely return next year.

disappointed to say the least! 4* I think not!!! My first impression was that there was no smell of food to greet you, then I was given the wrong tart as a starter followed swiftly by a raw steak( supposedly rare, £19). Sweets we were told could be picked from either menu but when we had chosen ,we were told that only tart, tart, ice cream. fruit salad and cheese and biscuits were available! We weren't offered any coffee after our meal and then were asked we could move to the bar area as they needed to set up for breakfast. We asked for coffee at the bar but was told that the machine had been turned off, we could have an instant one if we liked!! We will not be returning as we have had better food and service in many a local pub!

Made real progress in recent years from average as a conference to upper quartile in the industryLiked quality of menu and breakfast freshness go buffet.

food and service superb also very good value for money, liked the menu for children. desserts were extremely good

Used restaurant for dinner last night, then breakfast this morning.Food us excellent - interesting and inventive and makes the most of local and seasonal ingredients.Staff attentive and professional - what more does anyone want?!!!

I had a conference dinner here. It was a really fancy place, the food was great and there was nice outside seating to have a pre-drink. Only complaint is that the bar was super expensive. The smallest, cheapest glass of wine was over £5. The food served at the conference dinner was really good. I had the vegetarian option, which was a whole goats cheese fried. The main was thai green curry which wasn't the best I've had, but not bad. The dessert was particularly good (chocolate and honeycomb tower with caramel). I recommend this as a good place to host a conference dinner.

So often conference and workshop fare is routine sandwiches served in outside the meeting space where even sitting down may be difficult. The chance to get some decent food in comfortable surrounds while at a workshop in Burleigh Court was, therefore, a very nice surprise. There was a good range of hot meals and on explaining a food allergy great care was taken to give advice on what was safe to eat.Well done to the staff; we all went back refuelled and ready for a lively afternoon session.

Prefect selection of food whether cold/hot.I choose the salad bar with salmon, mackerel, chicken and many nice salad items (sundried toms, beetroot, cous cous etc).

The table d'haute menu had a great selection and all the food was very nice indeed. I chose the french onion soup, followed by teh seafood pie with the artesan cheese for dessert. I wasn't sure if teh cheese was genuinely "artesan" but it was certainly tasty!

Beautiful food so fresh and Tasty amazed this restaurant is here like a jewel in the Crown - staff excellent too.

High quality, food cooked to order and very fair price. Large quantity - perfect for men and students. Fish for me was steamed to perfection with al dente vegetables enough for 2 .

Pleasantly surprise very good meal and good value. I would recommend the Venison.Very busy and a nice ambiance on a Wednesday night.

The 'Pick Your Own' Breakfast can not be faulted. Nor could the Lunch I had. Top quality and as much as you could want. The Dinner was first class as well, although the menu is not vast. But there was something for the seven in our party and it was all excellent. The Wine and Lager also gets a big tick, but there was no Real Ale or Draught Bitter. However the food and the excellent service easily made the experience most worthwhile.

We went for Sunday Lunch to celebrate my parents 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. There was 8 of us including 2 children aged 10 and 14. My parents had been before and had wanted to go again. I would agree with a previous review, drinks prices are steep and £30 for 8 drinks (4 of which were soft drinks) did seem over the top.We were seated early and started with the starter bar....what a choice soup, fish, meat, salad, bread, everything was delicious and I have to say I would have gone back again, but could see the carvery, so wanted to crack on with main course.This is where my one and only criticism comes into play. Just as we were about to go to get our carvery a conference came in to eat, all 150 of them !!, yes 150 people in the queue for the carvery all mingled around the tables. We eventually decided to join the queue and probably wanted for 20 mins to get food.. I am not complaining about there being a conference, but it would have been nice to know or even suggest that conference could eat after the main restaurant.Anyway that aside, the choice of food on the carvery was amazing and the quality great. A always, my eyes were bigger than my belly and following the fantastic starters, I struggled, but then the dessert bar called. So much choice, there was something for everyone, hot and cold.Staff were very attentive and helpful.Will definitely go again as it was wonderful. Highly recommended

Nice Sunday lunch however £4.10 for a pintOf bitter is well over the top I think dick Turpin must own the place

Excellent food, high standard of customer service, very clean environment, best value for good all round....

Able to accommodate a gluten free vegan at short notice - pretty good I'd say! Friendly.

lovely food, we had set menu for a special offe from Groupon. Nice bread rolls (as many as we wanted!) And dessert was great also.

Been here a couple of time for Sunday lunch and both times were very good. All inclusive price includes fabulous buffet starter. Poached salmon, smoked salmon, smoked trout, crayfish, duck with noodles, continental meets, pate, and all accompanied with mixture of salad/rices etc. Main course normally a choice of two roasts ... today we had beef and pork both which cooked to perfection, and a good choice of fresh veggie. Still hungry ... then try the desert counter featuring such delights as peach and strawberry crumble with custard, rhubarb cheesecake, chocolate mousse etc. Overall high quality food and good value for money.
