Cherry Tree in Harborough

Great beers ! Pub has multiple seating arrangements inside so easy to find something to suit single’s couples or groups to feel comfortable. Pint was great perfect temperature . Oh yea the food just look at it , as my ole mate Kenny would say Fantabulosa!

Great local pub just around the corner from Aldi, Waitrose, Sainsbury's with a good size car park Excellent beer, fab food at reasonable prices and really friendly staff, so what's not to like 👍🏻👍🏻

Our first time here. We were in for a very pleasant surprise. Packed house: And you can understand why when you see and eat the food ! Home made and very tasty . No small portions here! We were not disappointed in any way . Staff were very friendly and accomodating! Too full up for a dessert Great priced..so no reason whatsoever to complain !

had the best stake i've had in ages very lean and tender cooked just as we ordered wonderful meal and the beer was'nt bad either .

We stopped off here for lunch on the spur of the moment and were not disappointed. Lovely pub, friendly staff and the food was excellent and beautifully presented. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent pub serving Everards’ ales. Try all 4 - I just have. Very comfortable, friendly atmosphere and staff.

We visited here with family. Excellent food, service, staff. Location. Family have moved to the area, so we will certainly be returning here for lunch or just a few drinks. Highly recommended.

My family and I stopped here by chance on our way home from a day trip and we are so glad we did! The staff were extremely friendly, the pub itself was clean and clearly abiding by all the covid regulations, even down to a one way system which took you in through the main door and out through the garden. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced and I had quite possibly the best pint of Everards Tiger I have had in a long time. We sat outside in the very nice courtyard garden. I would highly recommend this pub.

What a little gem of a place my friends and l have been on a little tour of our country and stayed in this town we phoned up and the landlords daughter was happy to accommodate 8 of us in a room just for us we all had a fantastic meal and all the staff were lovely would highly recommend eating and even having drinks at this lovely place

Went for lunch last week which was good as always. However wife had a brandy which was served in a frosted glass that looked like a cross between a sample glass and a tooth brush holder. The brandy barely covered the bottom of the glass. A half of Guinness was served in a thick tumbler with a picture of a bearded man on it - not Arthur Guinness ! Get some decent glasses please Cherry Tree.

Although I drink in the pub on a regular basis. In would like to thank Karren & Phil plus all the staff for looking after me and my family for a Sunday lunch for 14 members. The food was very good, service was great and the the overall experience was just fitting with the occasion . I would recommend this as a location for a Sunday lunch. Make sure you talk with then owners before and let them take care of the rest.

Lived in Harborough for a number of years, frequented the Cherry Tree once of twice a month for a drink. So not having the kids for the night, we thought we would go down for an evening for a meal. Well where do I start..? I ordered a chicken burger, the size of the single fried piece of chicken barely covered half the size of the burger bun, very disappointing. Most of the chips where cold, some where hot..? Were the cold chips served up from from a previous meal that was not fully eaten..? The bottle of Heinz ketch up was not Heinz, it was a cheaper, runnier, orange in colour alternative, to which even the barmaid admitted was not Heinz...! Why falsely mislead the customer with a non-genuine product, surely this is wrong..? Everything about both of our meal’s was very very disappointing. I certainly would NOT recommend eating at the Cherry Tree again. Even when I complained, the staff did not appear to care or offer an apology. MR Everard, I hope you are reading this, in comparison to other Everard establishments, this was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING and I would certainly stir clear.

A building with great character. 2 good gardens. Always good beer and food but it is the welcoming atmosphere that makes the "Cherry " special. Nowhere in Harborough can touch it

I will be the first to admit I always have the same meal at the Cherry Tree, but I still love it! Whether with friends, my husband, children or even on my own there is a lovely, laid-back feel to the place. My niece particularly enjoys the climbing frame in the children’s beer garden but if you’re not a kid person there’s an adults beer garden too. They are dog friendly in the bar and the outside spaces. I highly recommend this lovely pub.

A couple of times a year we meet up with friends in a pub about an hours drive from where we each live. This time it was the Cherry Tree Inn chosen because of it’s Sunday lunch and large outside seating area. Lunch was a generous plate full, with a choice of meats. Well priced for a two course meal with fast and friendly service. It is a popular place with two lunch sittings so you should book. We were there for the 12 noon slot. Had a great time eating and chatting. As the 2.30 slot was about to start, and they needed our table, we were very politely asked if we would move to the bar area to free up the space. This is a pub which has more eating space than pub space so it was quite full in the bar area and very loud so, once the second sitting was over we moved back to an empty table, which was fine. Sadly we didn’t get to sit outside due to torrential rain all day. There is lots of seating in the garden as well as a covered, heated, smoking area. Not sure how the smoking impacts on the garden and people eating there. The outside area is described as an "Adult garden" so perhaps children aren’t encouraged and, by the tone of one of the reviews here (Garry H, Leicestershire), they don’t seem particularly welcome. Restaurant and bar staff were really friendly all day so the staff response to a one star review (thatjwestbourne, Las Vegas) is surprising. "Once again a spineles reviewer who hasn't got the balls to come to the bar and speak with the Landlord / Landlady. Instead they take the cowards way out through Trip Advisor. To be honest with a potty mouth like yours I suggest you take your custom elsewhere because your certainly not welcome in here...". People do need to feel comfortable expressing their views in a review and that sort of response is unmeasured and foolish on a platform which is trying to provide a wide range of opinion. If I had read that before setting off I would have chosen another pub. Customers do have power in their actions and, although no one wants a one star review, offering a confrontational one star response reflects badly on the business. That said we didn’t experience any of that negativity and had a great day catching up with friends.

Lovely traditional pub catering for all. Had a very enjoyable typical pub lunch in the delightful garden setting. Food was of good quality and friendly service. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back.

One of my favourite eating pubs has changed. Don't know whether it has new landlords but food not up to it's usual standard. Scampi came on a plate with peas and a nice salad, now it comes in a plastic basket, just scampi and chips. Ham egg and chips no longer the best in the area. Ham now plastic instead of thick slices off the bone. Minute sauces etc. in difficult to open sachets which when finally opened the miniscule amount in them makes it a wasted exercise. Please revert back to one of the best food serving pubs in the area, other wise my next visit will be the last.

Just been refurbished, well cosy. Love the cherry tree, a true British pub, good wholesome grub, what is not to like.? 💕

Very confused we came to the cherry tree under the illusion that we could have some food and a couple of bottles of wine with our children. We left absolutely wounded. A rude land lady with a poor understanding of children and a poorer understanding of people’s feelings. Perhaps a rule of all children under 15 years 364 days can stay until 8pm? Which is fine if you aren’t selling food to the said persons at this time. I conversed with the propriaeters about were we could eat and drink with children and were told by the landlady we aren’t welcome. Not the Everards Thesis! Sort your own rules out and spend time at the right side of the bar. I understand that there are rules involving children in pubs but let us know and understand them yourselves. I will be persueing this with Everards and further. My daughters behaviour was impeccable as commented by your staff. Thanks for your hospitality

A client and some of his friends who I'd just met took me here and the owners daughter (who is apparently the manager) was very rude. She later apologised stating that she didn't know I wasn't really with those people but I can't understand why that makes a difference. You work in hospitality, be hospitable.

Oldy Worldy atmosphere. Good range of beers.Good food menu. Our meal was piping hot when served. Prompt bar service. Outside seating area with childrens play equipment.

Visitei o Cherry Tree num lindo dia de verão com algumas amigas. O pub oferece uma boa variedade de cervejas e eles colocam limão na cerveja se você pedir. Achei diferente mas não gostei muito. Minhas amigas adoraram. A melhor parte do pub é a área externa, com grama bem verdinha onde você encontra mesas pra sentar tanto na sombra quanto pra tomar um solzinho. Se tiver crianças, o playground do Cherry Tree é uma ótima opção pra tomar umas pints e vigiar seus pequenos.

Really nice little pub, lovely beer garden and they do lovely food here as well, well worth a trip. Great place for the kids on a hot afternoon.

Driven past this pub many time whilst shopping in Market Harborough and said we must try that somtime. On shopping last Friday we decided as poouring of rain to get warmed up and have a lunch. The table we had was next to a nice warm radiator. ordered a sharing starter, when it arrived after only 10 mins arrived too big for us to eat but very enjoyable another time we could just share one for our main course. I ordered a lamb shank very tasty and plenty of rosemary gravy poured over the mashed potato good tasty meal. My wife ordered Scampi, it was served with plenty of salad and chips again too much to eat. so overall good lunch, reasonable price, and yes we will go again.

How nice - and rare - it is to find an unspoilt pub serving unpretentious good honest pub grub at a reasonable price. Their Ham Eggs and Chips is the best for miles around with "proper" ham not 50% water induced plastic now served up by many pubs. Good selection of Daily Dishes cater for all tastes. Staff very friendly and well informed.

Lovely friendly place to be. Beautiful gardens to spend time in on sunny days. April in particular goes above and beyond on service. Thank you April.

We found this pub just as we were leaving Homebase so we thought we give it a try.We are so glad we did because the staff are so friendly and accommodating that we felt very welcome. we ordered our food which came in good time.we ordered Scampi and chips plus Chicken ranch wrap which were both very good.

One of Harborough’s best pubs, if not the best . Great beer, great service, great atmosphere, great family garden. Near railway station. A real gem!

Can't believe recent poor review. Six of us for lunch yesterday on our way to watch rugby had an excellent meal, good beer and friendly and efficient service. A traditional pub with good reasonably priced food.

I will not recommend this place to ANYONE there was food on the floor, food on the tables form the lat customers the service was just absolutely terrible.

A very traditional pub, plenty of car parking, but allows dogs in . a pub for locals , very low ceilings and a bar menu .

Although a little cramped, service was good and food excellent. The menu may appear limited but the specials were amazing with reasonable prices. Fresh and not frozen vegetables. Chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Meat dishes well done!

My Husband and i came here Friday evening 27th October with friends for a meal and what a fantastic evening...

As we hear the pubs are closing at a horrible rate, the Cherry Tree manages to provide a fabulous "pub"...

Popped in on a Wednesday lunchtime while visiting MH, based on TA reviews. Quaint partially thatched building with low ceilings...

popped in early on a saturday night and was fitted in for a table of 5 , good pub grub...

We were a large party for Sunday lunch without a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in. Between us we had all the menu choices for Sunday lunch. It was plentiful with good quality meat and vegetables and we'll be visitting again but this time will make a reservation as its very popular which says it all!

Una restaurante muy coqueto donde podréis disfrutar de un jugoso y sabroso Sunday Roast. Podéis elegir de pollo, cerdo o ternera. Acompañado de verduras y patatas y, la clásica salsa británica para estos guisos. Para chuparse los dedos. Después tienen unos postres caseros que merece la pena probar. Además, disponen de un beer garden solo para adultos donde degustar unas pintas tranquilamente.

Saturday evening meal lots of choices plenty on your plate good service value for money enjoyed so much went next day for Sunday lunch all good

If 4 people eat and all 4 are unhappy then definitely something is amiss. We met a couple here for Saturday evening meal. No starters, the choice is the usual pub fare, nothing remotely exciting so to mess that up is pretty astounding.I chose home made pasty.....which was ok except for the crust all round which was so hard I couldn't penetrate even with a stabbing motion !...mash and mushy peas ....but rather steep at £8.95, my husband had fish pie ....which was mostly sauce with an odd prawn appearing, my fellow diners...steak, tough and steak pie which contained enormous amounts of inedible, gristle lumps....we decided to all have lemon meringue, as most were still hungry ....but disappointed.....the lemon part was more like scrambled egg !?

They do an amazing Sunday lunch, decent meats, loads of veg, nice roasties. Some get it right, but not many. These get it spot on. Surprised and very pleased, well done. Looking forward to coming back.

A really welcoming Inn that provides a cosy atmosphere which is supported by a good range of pub food, all excellently cooked and presented and good portions too.

Last minute visit to the Cherry tree for Sunday lunch. The most amazing food ever. We come over and over again. Friendly staff, great food and a good atmosphere. If Carlsberg did Sunday lunch this would be it...........you can bring your pooch too

Food was good, I had a lovely homemade lasagne, which was delicious - no complaints. But I have to say ...... the plastic menus felt as if a million people had handled them and they really should be redone, the felt grubby to touch and sticky! Overall, It just felt a bit of a tired old place, lacking in some love and attention.

went to the cherry again with my wife, daughter and partner as usual excellent meal and the staff very sociable especially the landlord who always had a smile

Popped in for a quiet beer in the garden as the sun was out. We had the dog with us so perfect opportunity to do so. After a pint we spotted a man going in the pub with his dog. We didn't realise you could take them inside. That was our cue go and get some Sunday lunch. Well we're so glad we did. The best Sunday lunch we've had at a pub for years. Home cooked with lovely veg and roasties. Beef was very tender too! Topped off with a superb plumb crumble. We will definitely be back for sure.

It felt like home from home with a relaxing atmosphere, friendly ambience and excellent service even though the place was packed. There are different rooms and areas to eat in so it does not seem crowded. Tables are well spaced. Food was well presented and properly cooked without being fussy or ostentatious. A good jug of gravy came alongside a plateful of meat, Yorkshire pudding and delicious roast potatoes. Sides of different vegetables gave you options. A welcome contrast to many places that have fixed sittings, overinflated prices and you feel that you are being processed. The Sunday lunch menu offers a reasonable choice and is priced for one or two courses. You can no doubt have three but with good size portions two courses was just right.Will be visiting again and will try other days. Certainly advisable to book for Sundays.

Have been there with my boss a week back and the location is pretty close to the town center. I loved the ambiance and the range of drinks it offers, he classic vintage looks adds more character to the place and the crowd mostly comprises elder people. A live music would have completed the character. Good for a relaxed evening! I wish it had higher ceilings to cut off the claustrophobic feeling...friendly staff!

This was our second visit. It has a nice atmosphere, a decent range of beers (including alcohol free beer for the drivers) and decent food at reasonable prices. We visited on a Sunday and it was full we were glad that we had booked well in advance. The acid test, as always, is whether you would come again. We have and will do so in the future.

Well our group, certainly took over the place, we packed out the restaurant area, the other other eating area and the bar. We pre-ordered our food, which we like to do when do these nights out. The staff were excellent throughout. Everyone was served quickly and the food was delicious and large, I struggled to eat it, but I did as it was so nice.We had a relaxed evening, in the warm friendly surroundings, we'd all travelled from all over the area. Most stayed until the last orders bell sounded.Well worth visiting, which we will as it has a large garden area, ideal for the warm weather, add that to the friendly staff, makes for another good night to come.

A classic pub in Market Harborough, super cosy with great food and great service. We go here often as it's close to where we live and we are never disappointed. Would definitely recommend the Cherry Tree sharer.

A fantastic local offering a small menu but great taste and value coupled with a Pint of Tiger....its Grrrrrrrrrrrreat

Friendly hospitable and cosy. Have been before for Sunday lunches so thought I'd try this on a Saturday! A good selection of tasty food, served promptly. I tried the 4 cheese pasta which was excellent. A popular place. Recommended.

One of the best pub meals we've ever had. really nice waitress. Would go again. Fish Pie was great,given choice of toppings either pastry or mash.

My wife and I were visiting my 98 year old mother and together with my brother from MK (he recommended the pub for meals) and sister from Canada we all had a most enjoyable meal despite us all ordering something different. The staff were excellent and accommodating as we had not booked. To me all the meals looked inviting and it was a hard choice to make.

A quaint interior and surroundings, with an excellent Sunday roast . A full plate with fresh veg on the side and a variety of sponge puddings to follow.

Used to go here quite a bit and always loved the place. Went at the start of the year and got them on an off day, perhaps. This time we went for a drink but decided to stay for food. Had the lasagne and it was delicious and plentiful. Service was good too this time. Always loved this as a proper pub, full of heritage and you can get decent ales here. Pubs like this are dying out and it’s good to see the Cherry Tree in fine fettle. Bill price more than reasonable compared with lesser restaurants.

Very nice meal here . Recommend it. Nice garden for the children to play in. Staff very friendly. Would go here again

After starting out in Northampton on a 50km round trip cycle ride we ended up caught in a storm and turned up at the Cherry Tree damp and extremely muddy. We asked if we would be welcome and would have understood if we had been turned away. However, not only were we made to feel valued we received a warm welcome and excellent food.So I heartedly recommend visiting this pub for excellent food, friendly staff and a warm welcome. We will be back , less muddy and with friends.

We always come here as is very good service in here And the staff is very helpful the place is well decorated to high standards

One of the Best and The Busiest Pub in Market Harborough and I have ever been to in the UK, Great atmosphere and excellent customer service

Nice old pub with all the features you would expect. Good choice of ales and two gardens, one for families and one for adults only which is a nice touch. Not open all day and a limited menu. Disappointed on a warm balmy evening you cannot have a meal in the garden. Only a (plastic) basket meal which wasn't brilliant. Small interior dining options. Will try another pub on a summers evening in future for food.

Food was good and friendly atmosphere. However, the meal for one of our party was 'delayed' and didn't arrive until the rest of us had nearly finished. I would have expected this to be removed from the bill but their views on Customer Service fall short of my expectations!

Higgledy-piggledy, low ceilings, beams, loved this place. Great choice of ales. Pub grub at its finest Friendly staff.

Dissapointing thought would be good as heard Leicester city manager went there had along wait and service mediocre

We found this place on trip advisor by doing a thatch pub search, and what a find! Unfortunately, we didn't book & we came all the way from Bromsgrove, just to try it, but as soon as we walked in, we where made very welcome & they did everything to get us a table, even though they where very busy. I asked the waitress what she could recommend on there choices of ales, she took the time to explain the differences of each, I tried the Everards Tiger, never tried it before, it was one of the best ales I have ever had. We ordered the two course Roast with a choice of 3 meats, when it came it was delicious with lovely thick meat & gravy with a whole load of vegetables. Then we both had the bread & butter pudding, this too was extremely very nice.Because this place is so good with very good service, I then asked if could look at the evening menu for in the week, & what a choice, many homemade dishes on there at a really good price. We are definitely going back to try this menu ! & we are 65 miles away! (Got to be good!)

As soon as you walk in to this clean and bright Pub, you are welcomed by the bar staff.The beer is Everards, so you know you are drinking quality. The bar is spotless and the beer is served fresh.The Food is typical Pub fare, solid, flavoursome food that supports the Beer, and hits the spot when you are hungry!What makes this place your home is the atmosphere, dog friendly, wifi friendly, and locals eager to chat and share the time of day.Love this place and the people in it. If you only want a quiet family friendly pub to visit, with great beer and company, but no trendy hype, then I highly recommend it!

After having a family celebration we decided to visit the cherry tree, it was for Sunday lunch and can honestly say it was the best Sunday lunch any of my family had had in or around the town. The staff are fantastic at their jobs and very friendly. I also visit for mid week lunch with friends and the fish pie is incredible. Absolutely top marks from me, keep up the brilliant work I shall visit again soon.

I went to the cherry tree with my family. It is a nice pub, local atmosphere and nice beer garden. The food is ok, nothing special, there are much better places for food in Harborough. Good place to drink though.

I went to the Cherry Tree for the first time for a celebratory meal. It will be my last. On arriving we were not sure where to go as there was no desk or sign or member of staff in eye shot. It was almost like a maze. After a few minutes I finally found someone and they showed us to our table. We were in a room on our own and it was cold and gloomy to say the least. The music that was being played sounded like somewhat of a nightclub. We asked if we could be moved but was told the other room was fully booked out for the evening so we had to stay put. Another couple came in shortly after us and was shown to the room we were in. At last, some company to lift this atmosphere but when they asked to be reseated they were moved to a table in the "fully booked room". Hmmm. We went ahead and ordered starters and mains. The food was absolutely dire. Overcooked, tasteless, inedible and that was both courses, we were unable to finish them. When making a complaint about the dining area we were in and about the poor state of the food to the waitress she was lovely and apologised and would inform management. We decided that we would not risk having a desert and asked for the bill. The management didn't take too kindly to our complaint to say the least. We thought it appropriate to have some kind of reduction in the bill but the attitude that followed was absolutely appalling. They flatly refused and stated that we pay the full price of the bill. They were extremely aggressive and their customer service skills, well, what customer service skills? Never have we been made to feel so uncomfortable or devalued as customers in our life! Disgusting!

I came here on Sunday with my girlfriend and her parents. We were sat in an odd little room near the door and it was a bit cramped. That being said, the food was lovely. We had the three course Sunday special. I had chocked goujons to start and roar pork for the Main. It was lovely. All in all the food was good and so was the pub itself. Very pleasant experience.

would have put good but no option, food was good value for money 2 courses for £12,very pleasant and efficient waiting staff, well kept beer , only downside that half the original desert bourd was missing

Went for a meal on Saturday lunchtime with family, including relatives over from Spain. Food great as ever, service cheery and efficient, atmosphere lovely. My Aunt commented that the prices are comparable to a Wetherspoons but the quality of the food is outstanding. I love the history of the place, it's not pretentious and you always get a hello from the landlord, how often do you get that these days?!

Good pub, good beer, good food, VERY pleasant staff, friendly regulars, ignore the bad revues and try it for yourself......... You will not be disappointed.

Best pub in town! Won't find a better pint of bitter around. Lovey pub, lovely food and a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and make us feel welcome.

I am not usually one to write reviews but I am so shocked by some of the reviews on here regarding the Cherry Tree that I wanted to 'have my say!!!!'The Cherry Tree, although being located in Market Harborough just moments away from the bustle of the supermarkets, is a country pub and gives you the feeling that you could be out in the countryside -this is not just because of the lovely traditional decor but the welcome of the staff and the quality of food and beer served. This clearly is a pub that takes pride in their beers and wines and the good home cooked food they have to offer at extremely reasonable prices.I have visited now on many occasions with a wide variety of guests (family, children, friends, business colleagues) and can honestly say the service has been consistent along with the quality of home cooked food! Looking at some of the poor reviews I would suggest that some people must expect 5 star michelin service for a fraction of the cost!!! (NOT POSSIBLE) BUT if you want a warm welcome, a good drink and a hearty meal then I would recommend the Cherry Tree in Market Harborough.

have been to the cherry tree many times and me and the various people we have taken have always been very pleased, not only with the excellent food and pleasant friendly staff, they certainly no how to keep traditional bears, keep up the good work .

The Cherry Tree stands on the corner and the pub itself is very attractive. To start with I have to mention the Sunday lunch as it is out of this world!Choice of 3 meats that cut like butter, roast and new potatoes, 3 veg of which you help yourself. The waitresses are really polite and can't do enough to help. Bar snacks and meals are equally delicious and you certainly get value for money.The landlord and lady are a great couple and really make you feel welcome. It's a brilliant place to come in the Summer too. They have a large garden in the front with a play area where you bring the kids and a garden through the back for adults only.Basically it's a very friendly pub with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Yuck. Food was greasy and I felt the employees were a little obnoxious. This place used to be great for a swift ale but I am not sure I'd bother now given our disappointment with the grub!!! Harborough is rapidly expanding and there are many better places to eat than this

Live close to this pub and amazing every time we are here. Staff are brill and friendly food is gorgeous. I strongly recommend Sunday dinner

The cherry tree is a old style pub with up to date food , very good and good staff , good choice of food , try it you will like it .

Recently visited the cherry Tree with my partner for a meal and I must say it was worth the visit the menu had a varied choice and the meals we ordered was cooked to perfection,we both thoroughly enjoyed our choices and the staff was fantastic and very friendly.the cherry Tree also offered a good selection of real ales,which are kept extremely well.after the mealworm went into the bar which had great atmosphere and the regulars were very friendly also.overall it was a very pleasant evening and we shall be visiting again very soon

The best thing about The Cherry Tree is the size of the main dishes, gigantic. I went for the chicken and white wine/mushroom sauce. My wife went for Fisherman’s Pie…wow…didn’t need to have the starters and probably shouldn’t anyway as they were iffy. We both had the Crispy Breaded Mushrooms. They tasted like something from a bad batch of a downgrade chicken shop. Back to the mains, um, yeah alright they were better than the starter but I would doubt most would manage to finish these mountains of food. I did, of course. The actual restaurant areas are split in two and there’s very little space. You could say it makes for a quaint atmosphere but somehow it doesn’t. I was baffled as to why they had carpets in the restaurant. Not the most hygienic and I reckon I saw a good few welded foodstuffs stuck to the floor. The service was slow. And I mean really slow. I actually overheard two waitresses slagging another customer off. Charming. Didn’t like this place so skipped the dessert which is a first for me! Well, I say I skipped it we went elsewhere and had coffee and cake. I was mighty relieved to elsewhere, the atmosphere is just no good.

Popped in for a drink with my partner and our little boy. Preety much got lost on the way into the pub as it is like a maze with no signs. When we found the bar the staff were rude and did not make us feel welcome at all. I asked about where the garden was to which the reply was oh you have a kid. You have got to go to the other garden. Since then I have realised that they have 2 gardens and one is adults only which is fine. But would be nice to have it explained in a polite way. Beer was average but overpriced. Didnt even finish my drink as felt so unwelcome.Plenty if other better options in the area.

Bar staff were very polite and attentive and atmosphere is very relaxing. It is more of a traditional pub, with bar and beer garden - which means good for families.Food is OK and fair value.

Just drove 14 miles to have a meal at the Cherry Tree for the first time. Nice little dinning room was the only two in there. Service very good and quick. Had the crab cakes as a starter and very disappointed. They were overdone and very little filling inside and what filling there was was too spicy and could not taste anything else. Did not say anything as we wanted to see what the main course was like. We had chicken breast in white wine and mushroom sauce chips and veg which was excellent. Anyway before we paid we did mention how disappointed we was with starter and did not even get a apology. We paid £4.25 each for the starter which personally do not think it was worth it. Not sure if I would visit again.

I have been to the Cherry Tree many times over the years and have always been made very welcome, as has my family. There are two excellant beer gardens, an adults and a family beer garden. the play area for the children is always kept pristine and is very safe for supervised children.I was amazed to read a review from the gentleman who asked for some hot water to heat his baby's bottle up?? The cherry Tree is extremely popular and the staff are excellant and will help in any way possible, on some occasions they are serving several customers at one time. BUT I have to say that if you want to take your baby out to a PUB then I really do think it is your responsibility as a parent to ensure you have everything required to tend to your baby's needs. If hot water isn't a big deal (as mentioned in the gentlemans review) then I would suggest along with the other necessities he should have packed a flask of hot water too!

I have visited The Cherry Tree several times as it is a stone's throw from some relatives. The beer is always well kept, the Tiger in particular is excellent. The food, when i have eaten there, has always been adequate- what you would expect from decent pub food. Last weekend I visited the aforementioned relatives with our new baby son, and since it was a sunny afternoon we all went for a walk followed by a few drinks the in the Cherry Tree's large garden.All was going well until our baby needed feeding, started screaming and so I went to the bar to get some warm water to heat up some milk. The barman looked at me like i was out for a freebie, or was a passerby trying to use the loos without buying a drink. He told me he was too busy, and that he would "get one of the girls to do it".. (apparently pouring hot water was beneath him).. and that I should come back in 10 minutes. I could see the steaming hot water dispenser 2 meters away!Over the past 8 months i have had to ask for hot water at dozens of establishments, and usually staff fall over themselves to help you when they realise you have a young baby. Not at The Cherry Tree.

Great place, have eaten here a while ago & it was very good food. It's always busy when we go! Plenty of staff & well priced! Always return when I next visit :)

Decided to try out The Cherry Tree while in Market Harborough shopping on wife's birthday after reading reviews. Food was fantastic. Rib eye cooked to perfection, wife's Salmon was lovely, even the daughters vegetarian pasta bake look great. Well worth a visit, we will return.

I visited this restaurant with my husband, daughter and our son-in-law for the second time. The first was for Sunday lunch which was absolutely superb. Freshly prepared food, clean and served by very friendly waitress. The second time we went for a Ploughmans lunch. We have been very disappointed in the past when we have gone in search for this so we're apprehensive about what we would get. NO WORRIES got exactly what we wanted. Lovely freshly prepared food of good quality and we've promised we will return. Keep up the good work Cherry Tree.

Friendly welcome from staff. Several rooms to choose sitting in. I often have a basket meal in their games room out back. TWO entirely separate beer gardens - one for families and one just for adults - how good is that ! Also a tiny restaurant tucked away in a snug and the best chips served this side of the River Trent. Serves Everards ale and to the novice I recommend a pint of Tiger bitter. I would say this pub is near perfect (95%?). Would have given it 100% was it not for the piped music which seems to pervade every room. When I gave the jukebox a spin last time, I could still hear the piped music cutting in which made a somewhat unpleasant listening experience. Could I suggest limiting the piped music to just a couple of the rooms?? Apart from that, this is a completely unspoilt venue. It looks fabulous from the outside and just as good inside.

The Cherry Tree is a good old fashioned British pub with loads of character with its low beams, smallish rooms, real ales on tap and atmosphere, not forgetting they have a good choice of menu with reasonable prices to match, the place always seems to be busy which is always a good sign. Oh and the food was nice too!!Plus, its not too far from the town centre and the railway station. Definitely worth a visit next time you're in Market Harborough.PS if you're over 5' tall, remember to duck!

Not much wrong with this place ,great beer from Everards and a good selection of food.Pub has loads of character and nice staff who give a great service.Only criticism is please turn down the loud lousy pop music at lunchtimes in the eating rooms.It turns into a bit of a shouting match when trying to have a cosy conversation.

A lovely, well regarded real ale pub with a village feel although Little Bowden has long been absorbed into Market Harborough. Lovely family and adult gardens for summer and a real fire in winter. The pub is great. Food was old fashioned pub food and nice, but nothing special.

Walked here along the cycle track from Waterloo Farm,one cold and frosty January night and we were delighted with the Cherry Tree.It was probably around 8.30 on a Friday night but they quickly found us a table.Stroganoff was very tasty,as was my wife's lasagne.During the evening.i managed to sample all the Everards ale. Definitely returning in the summer,the ales change seasonally and i'll be back to sample others.

The Cherry Tree is a great pub, the beer is excellent, the staff are lovely and everyone is friendly.Sunday lunch is great value and the portions are huge. Why cook for yourself when you can eat at the Cherry Tree?Weekday lunches are great too.If you're near Market Harborough pop in, it's great.

we have visited the cherry tree many times and never disappointed. great sharing plate if you just feel like a snack. Great for special occasions we went when my son got married the night before and we had table of 16. everyone enjoyed their time their. Very friendly locals and do not mind dogs. very good value a must to visit if staying near by.

This delightful village pub with low beams and thatched roof is on the outskirts of Market Harborough. Good selection of real ales and decent quality wine by the glass. We ordered the beef and ale pie for lunch which was really tasty and portions are LARGE.There is a lovely walled garden and children's play area plus plenty of parking. Well worth a visit!

Stopped here for a meal, couldn't try the ale because of medication, which was a pity given the comments from previous reviewers. Very pleasant staff and a very straightforward pub menu. That is not to a negative as the food was very, very good. The fish pie was one of the best I have had in a long time.Space is a bit limited and maybe would not suit a large party, but otherwise give it a try.
