Copt Oak in Blaby

Came here with my dad and brother to try the Yorkshire wraps. We had one of each meat. They were a great price and the portion was spot on. Flavour was really nice, especially after a long walk around the village. Was a tad loud as people where in there watching the football but it is a pub after all. Definitely recommend and will be going again 👌 xx

Great burgers right before the weekly pub quiz. Hot and tasty, and delivered quickly by friendly staff. Will definitely come back and eat again!

Fun, friendly pub. Always lots on, quiz, music, karaoke etc Lots of really loyal locals and always so friendly.

Really friendly pub, and atmosphere was great. Charlotte behind the bar was extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Nice to have bubbly and friendly staff as you don’t tend to get that now a days.

Lots of fun. Tuesday night is quiz night. New management carried on quiz tradition, thoroughly enjoyable. (And, not just 'cos we won :-) And, Pedigree on draught too !

Food was good however drinks were on the expensive side with £3.20 for an normal coke - the food was okay but portions small

Lovely food even with a restricted menu due to Covid. Staff were amazing, they couldn’t do enough for us. Made a family meal perfect.

We went for Sunday carvery and I have to say that it was lovely and the service was amazing. The food on the plate didn’t look like a lot but in the end it was just the right amount of food. We went just after lockdown and decided to come back a second time and I’m happy we did that. Kids are already asking me if we can come back next week. I am a very happy customer THANK YOU COPT OAK!

The service was excellent and food tasted and presented well, will be going again soon and fully recommend.

Went with friends for a meal and the food and service was superb! Friendly local pub with a great atmosphere.

Always welcoming and happy faces, and the people that drink in there are always laughing and enjoying themselves and this speaks volumes. Arron and his team are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble for him. John the chef is amazing and his food is always top notch, definitely recommend the steak.

We went here for a little meal. After COVID-19 this place has improved so much. Staff are making sure they’re at a safe distance and making us feel comfortable. The food was so amazing and we will definitely come back soon

Visited the Copt Oak in July and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Polite staff from the outset and excellent service all round. Meal was presented beautifully and tasted fantastic as well. Would highly recommend. Even stayed for wine and dessert

Waitress was new apparently so not sure whether she got our order wrong or the kitchen but 3 out of 6 meals were wrong and sent back. No reduction made on bill despite be told there would be.

Went here having been passed it lots of times. The place has a nice decor both inside & out. The service was excellent. Saw 3 staff members who were polite, helpful & chatty.....drinks & food were served quickly. Sadly the food wasn’t great & we left more than we ate. Basic pub grub.....Really wanted a pudding but chose to have one at home. Wouldn’t return for food but would definitely pop in for a drink.

Went here yesterday having been passed this pub lots of times. The place has a nice decor both inside & out. The service was excellent. Saw 3 staff members who were polite, helpful & chatty... drinks & food were served quickly. Sadly the food wasn’t great & we left more than we ate. Basic pub grub... Didn’t want to complain as we were clearly the last to eat as the restaurant was closed. Really wanted a pudding but chose to have one at home. Wouldn’t definitely go back there for a drink,, but not the food.

Terrible service. Went for a birthday meal last night. We was a table of 7 and was the only ones eating. Food was 40 minutes getting sent out and was cold. Staff never checked on us throughout the evening. Also never advised of a delay with the food. Just standing around chatting at the bar. Really spoilt our evening as it was a special birthday catching up with family.

I entered the building and observed the ‘wait to be seated’ sign, waited a few minutes and was ignored so asked the bar staff what the food situation was.I was told they had stopped doing food, the time was 8.01 on a Saturday night!!The signs posted around the building states until 9pm on a Saturday night. I mentioned this to the barman that he was falsely advertising and he said ‘I’ve mentioned this to management when we started finishing at 8pm 4 months ago but they aren’t interested’. So basically too lazy to change a sign. We are local and wanted to try the restaurant and based on the initial welcome and lies on the signage will not be returning!

This place has been on the news as a dog owner and his collie were mercilessly attacked by another dog and punter. That’s the tip of the iceberg. This place has been run into the ground. The food is awful (menu offered homemade soup and we were given a tin of Heinz soup from the Tesco round the corner). We were offered a free meal but when we went months later the rude idiot at the bar said we were two minutes early and ordered us out of the pub until it opened two minutes later. Ridiculous. it has also banned its locals and the management are either never there, incompetent or rude. This is no reflection on the lovely bar staff. The dovecote owners also have this pub but have clearly neglected it for the more profitable business. Let go of this pub that you can’t run.

Brilliant service excellent food nothing too much trouble! Defiantly recommend and come back again - thank you!

Thought would give it another try went two weeks ago and didn’t think much of it. So went again for Sunday lunch first thing that put me off was a waitress with waist length blonde hair flinging it around everywhere in the sauces in peoples food and on the tables. Why was her hair not tied back??? Food mediocre some of it was cold staff were not pleasant other than one short dark haired girl with white trainers on who was very professional did a check back when she didn’t even seat us nor took our drinks order but brought them to our table with a smile. The other ‘hairy’ waitress was rude unpleasant and really looked like she didn’t want to be there let alone be friendly. Will not be coming back again. This manager never smiled never asked if we were enjoying our dinner in fact he just walked around. When are you going to get it right.

Lovely quick service, beautiful atmosphere and the food was delicious, will definitely come back soon

Arrived 2.15pm for a work lunch meal which we booked in advance for a table of 10. First meal came out after an hour and 15 minutes then each meal came out with 10 minutes in between at 3.40 we were told no breaded mushrooms, no cambert. This should have been told to us as we ordered rather than waiting 1 hour and 25 minutes and then asking we want something else. We were all on a lunch break which has now caused 10 people to be late back to work. Told no manager available. Chicken burger did not have melted cheese on and then they put a cold cheese slice in the middle when it was raised. Gentleman serving just kept telling us he only arrived at 3. 3 meals out of 10 didnt even get served in 2 hours. Absolutely shocking service, when questioned with manager she was very defensive and rude saying we were told when we were not. Wont be returning.

Waited nearly 2 hours for a quick lunchtime bite.Unbelievable. No apology and then we are told they were out cambert after 1:30 hours

It was meant to be a complimentary meal after poor service and poor meals when previously visited.what a disgrace never again will we visit this pub.we even had plastic in one of our meals

Great atmosphere at the oak today, lovely to see there is a pool table back, and heard from Shaz today that there bringing more TVs in for the football really enjoyed my afternoon

Went for a meal last Saturday and had a great time. Food was good beautifully and the meals were very good sized. They have a new chef in there I was told and I can see they they’re very experienced with the quality that the meals had. We have booked in for next Saturday and are bringing more people this time. Would fully recommend a visit. 5/5 from us.

Visited for a drink with my wife. We had a bottle of wine the cost was almost £21 which is fine for a restaurant but this is a pub that does meals that has a clientèle that are very loud, and pretty uncouth. Not only that the pub allows dogs to come in - not on a lead which is bad enough when you just have a drink, let alone when you might be eating. The tables are not cleaned there is crap all over the floors. It's disgusting. Considering the owners have other pubs in the nearby vinicity this one is crap. Really poor and doesn't seem to be managed. The only person in charge seems to be very pregnant and unwilling to smarten the place, such a shame. Would not recommend coming here.

My family and I went to the Copt Oak to enjoy a lovely Saturday lunch.... wow what a mistake. The barman had no customer service skills, didn’t even say hello when we walked in and just looked at us as if to say what do you want. We got our drinks and ordered our food (which we thought was a little pricey but hey give it the benefit of the doubt). Waited over half an hour (for sandwiches with only one other table in the restaurant) and when they arrived the salad looked like it was from last Thursday’s Tesco bargain bin, the sandwiches were poor with absolutely no care taken. Not worth £7!!! No one even asked if our food was ok. We also couldn’t even use the toilets because they were so dirty. Awful experience - avoid!!!!

Efficient & friendly staff. Excellent service. Meats cooked to perfection. Good selection of vegetables. Very good value will certainly return.

Visited as a group of six with my retired parents and two young boys. Food was tasty and of a good standard, and good portion size. A decent range of pub classics and the fish and chips, lasagne, cheese and bacon burger and mixed grill were all consumed happily! Recommended.

Sadly disappointed. Visited 5:00 PM on a Saturday afternoon with the intention to dine with the family. When we walked in we observed the request to stand a wait to be seated but after being ignored for a good five minutes we approached the barman who was busy chatting and he told us to go and sit wherever we pleased. Having sat down a waitress came out and cleared another table but made no acknowledgement of us whatsoever. After waiting a further 10:00 minutes we decided to go elsewhere to somewhere that was more interested in our custom. It’s a shame because we live locally and after years of avoiding this establishment we had started to use it again but I am afraid that it has sunk to its previous low standard, let down by disinterested staff. If I was the owner of this business I would be furious that my staff were ignorant and lazy enough to ignore custom. Having left, eaten elsewhere, and walked by an hour later we were not surprised to see that the restaurant was absolutely empty. There’s a surprise. My advice to anyone considering dining there would be, don’t bother they are not interested.

Wow 20 people at the Copt Oak, Narborough - Amazing, hot plates, choice of Beef, Gammon and Turkey. Great choice of vegetables and unlimited Yorkshire puddings. Vegetarian gravy too, plus normal menu. £8.50 10/10 no faults, just compliments to the chef ‍ highly recommend

The warning signs were there when they had no milk for a tea, and had to go to Tesco to get some. We ordered from the bus pass menu, and this was potentially good value, except nearly two hours later we were told there were no puddings, which were part of the deal.

Been hoping for a quiz here for ages. Didn’t even know it had materialised. Was it advertised? Is that why there were so few quizzing?

Eaten twice here and whilst I recommend their two for £9 menu midweek, I don't recommend their Sunday lunch. The soup was more basil than tomato and the veg/potato's were done without care. This place is better for a drink than anything else.

Have been going to The Copt Oak for about 5yrs on a 2monthly rate.The food,venue and staff have all proved to be very consistently good on every occasion. The menu is varied and always hot,well presented and we'll cooked.Always busy which is also a good sign.Would recommend a visit

The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Every one enjoyed their meals apart from my self. I was the only one eating vegetarian and I had a choice of 2 meals. The jacket potatoes I had was disgusting, I couldn't eat it, clearly cooked in the microwave but the taste was awful, then I had the weird named pie, its had garlic potatoes in a cheese sauce with brocoli, sounds delish!! Sadly the brocoli was very rubbery and difficult to cut. So for all you vegetarians and vegans I would say don't bother :0( no complaints from those that had steaks etc all were happy though

Two meals for £9 lunch deal. What’s not to like? Food was well cooked and service was delightful (I think the young lady was called Toni). Recommend for a bite and drink.

This is the first time we have visited the Copt Oak since the new owners renovated the place, as it was half term we heard the landlord had a bouncy castle inside the premises for children so we decided to visit with our granddaughter, we were greeted on the way in and made very welcome.

Our first venture here, really pleasant friendly atmosphere, table service was fantastic, food was very well cooked with a lot of love and care. Would recommend to give it a go, we will certainly return very soon.

Pleasant public house in residential area. Staff are friendly and helpful. Varied menu with special offers. Food is good.

Advertised as a great place for the family. Yet I’m taking my youngster to the toilet and there are a group of lads snorting in the spare cubicle next to me. No shame, no respect, just blatant. If I can see this going on then I’m mesmerised as to why the staff can’t. I guess the owners need to decide what they expect of this pub. Potential gold mine on a nice estate. Real shame and I won’t have pleasant words to say until confidence is restored.

What a very pleasant surprise! The Facebook photos of ure £9 deal need redoing as it really put me off! However having visited today I have been blown away! The food was perfect and the host was just fabulous a naturally happy lady who was very attentive. I can’t say how much of a bargin the food was and the great quality! U got write what many places get wrong! Ure chips were cooked to perfection. The egg was soft and runny ( as it should be!) and every item on our plates was how I would expect it to be. It’s my first visit in after being a regular in my late teens early 20’s and couldn’t be happier with the positive changes. It wasn’t very busy so I would highly recommend some more marketing on Facebook/ flyers your special days/ menus as I will be back with many more people next time. Thank u very much the oak team x

Family have booked in for Christmas meal so 4 of us came along for a Sunday meal, pub was busy but not crowded, got a drink quick enough and a 10 minute wait for table ( we hadn't booked ) all very decent. 4 different meals, all served by friendly helpful staff all to a really high standard. Good to know we have another local serving good food and drink ! Hoorah ! If you are local or in this area give it a go, I don't think you will be disappointed

The new owners have ruined, what was a great traditional pub. They've taken out most of the TVs, pool table and comfortable seating. I'm assuming just to try and look more modern.

As we had booked for Christmas day and had never been before we thought we would have trial run. Well worth the visit. We opted for the carvery. Food fresh and we'll cooked. Staff helpful and very pleasant. Will certainly return and not just for Christmas.

Last night myself & partner went to our local. 5 min walk. We had a few pints also glasses of wine . We then went and had a meal. I had the mixed grill. Sarah had chicken. Both were lovely and well presented. Staff were very Nice, atmosphere was pleasant. My constructive criticism is = dogs shouldn't be aloud, sign one member of staff to a table so your not asked the same questions while your eating. I'm being very picky. Overall great food. Great pub, great staff. Well done. See you again very soon.

Loved the food, was excellent and would certainly recommend to all my friends. I came down to meet a friend in Narborough, me and her went out for some quick bite and this was brilliant!

Owners have done a good job updating the place! Staff are friendly. Still not as good as the dovecote though

We had a good dinner here. Food was served well and staff were friendly -it was a Friday. It is a bit noisy because of the building accoustice. Fine for a quick meal -not the right atmosphere for a dining experience.

Welcoming polite good manners Nice decoration excellent serviceBrilliant menue good for family friends large groups wonderful food cooked to perfectionFriendly happy staff super clean premisesHighly recomend a visit specialy fish lovers Vegitarian and vegan prices match the quality of food.10 out of 10

This was my first and I have to say the last time at this pub, the food was dreadful. Six of us went for a last minute Sunday carvery and to say the food was dreadful would be an understatement. The meat was ok but the veg and gravy can only be discribed as disgusting and cold. The cauliflowers cheese looked like rice pudding. If you want a nice Sunday lunch this is not the place for you. The staff are very pleasant so no complaints there. Will not be going back

Been many years since we had been to this pub and we popped in for lunch as it was close by and we were not disappointed.The waitress was friendly and efficient.My wife had crispy chicken wrap and really enjoyed it.I had the sloppy joe burger and it was delicious.Two meals and two rounds of drinks was £25 which is real value for money We will certainly go back

I visited this place when it was nearly refurbished full of hope. I opted for the homemade soup of the day followed by scampi. The soup arrived and it was a tin of Heinz vegetable soup with no bread or butter. I immediately returned this and one manager pretended she was shocked it was Heinz soup, another manager said he was fully aware but as soup was not a big seller they had just decided to serve tinned soup instead. The "chef" for some reason cannot make homemade soup anymore although they charge around four pounds for a tin of soup. The other manager said that the reason they had been deceiving customers is because they were due to change the menu; the menu has not changed three months later. They apologised and did refund us for the soup. We then had to move tables as a bunch of around ten school children bombarded the bar area which we had chosen as we assumed the restaurant would be child friendly but not the bar, how wrong we were. They were screaming and we were told they can sit in the bar as they cannot "discriminate?". I then had the scampi which was cold and soggy. Again a disappointment. The manager agreed if I returned he would do a deal and promised the food would have improved. So, in august me and a friend in anticipation paid them another visit at around 11.45am. We headed to the bar and was greeted by a young lady. We asked to see the manager who then simply said they were not open and he had no idea how we had got in the building and we were turned away. How disappointing that a once much loved pub by the locals has ended up like this.

Loved the food and a lot of staff were nice just found owner not friendly and abit aggressive I will not be using this place as a lot have told me at weekends they have people taking drugs so definitely won't b going there for a swift half

Staff very attentive without being obtrusive.The food was excellent and the cost very reasonable.Very clean and very tidy.Am planning on re visiting....very nice place.

Just Popped in to see its new look, it might have been early , but it seemed to be lacking atmosphere reasonable menu ( the old favourites missing from the menu) and the prices are higher than before,Will give it time to get established

Had a lunch time meal Was a great meal and very clean pub Staff very friendly Would recommend to all

Went here for lunch again today (2nd visit) and found a good choice on the menu (though would like to see jacket potato), lovely friendly staff and great service. Lemon Victoria sandwich cake - delicious ;)

Popped in randomly and had a great lovely tasty meal with fantastic service, would defo recommend, great for families couples and everybody really x

Just returned from the Copt Oak Narborough after having a fabulous Sunday lunch with the family. Four us had carvery my husband had a steak son had mixed grill dad had chicken we we're served straight away didnt have to wait long for food, the family were so impressed we have decided to book for Christmas dinner thank you Copt Oak.

Decided to tryout the new food at the Copt Oak following its long anticipated relaunch. It was a last minute decision to pop over to the Copt Oak and the restaurant staff were very friendly and professional, submitting my order just before the kitchen closed! When the Lamb Shank arrived it was one of the best I've had and the drink/beer selection is much improved. We then sat outside on the new furniture and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Having bought a house just off The Pastures 4 months ago, we're really happy the Copt Oak has been refurbished and is welcoming for families again! We've already booked a table for our parents on bank holiday monday. It's great to have a nice local pub again!

Just reopened so decided to give the lunch time menu a go . Fab choice fantastic food and lovely friendly service ! Will be trying the evening menu and the Sunday carvery next ! X

As our local we were curious to see what improvements had been made.We were very pleasantly surprised. . Nice decor.. friendly helpful staff and excellent home made food. I opted for the simple shepherd's pie and I for one thought it excellent. Let's hope the new owners keep the standards up.

We were invited in for the trial night on 18th May 2017 which was the first night of the new venue now owned by the Dovecote chain. So the verdict is well done the refurbished place looks good and is now more a good place than a pub and the menu is a good standard and cooked well. The spicy popcorn chicken I had as a starter was spicy and the burger massive. Well done and I hope it's a success, we will be going regularly and it's about time this pub was the establishment the area deserves

We was invited to attend the opening night of the newly refurbished copt oak as guinea pigs. The food was excellent, the staff are very friendly and the pub is very well refurbished. Would recommend people to go and try the food or just pop in for a drink you will enjoy the friendly welcome you get.

We went in the night before official opening. After explaining how far we'd driven and we were hoping for something to eat the very friendly manager brought us some food over. The restaurant opens tomorrow but the food we ate was superb. Highly recommend based upon the quality of the food we were kindly given and the staff who were brilliant. Thank you and we'll be back.

visit to this restaurant for my wife's birthday, the meal was well cooked , the staff lovely , the choice was reasonable and the price very good , I will go again.

Went for Sunday lunch, meal was lovely, staff was great, thank you all , my sister & myself had sunday roast, my bother in law had mixed grill, my niece had a burger and chips , well worth the money

Visited this pub/restaurant for an evening meal with friends whilst visiting Loughborough and was quite happy with the meal and service although my vegetables (carrots, cauli & peas) were lukewarm and watery. A decent selection on the menu and 2 real ales on offer. We all had the half roast chicken @ £9.95 each. There was a lot of meat on the chicken and only one of the 4 wanted a pudding as the other 3 had sufficient to eat from the main course. Worth a visit if I the area.

I'd like to thank Lisa, Jim, Dan & the team for providing us with a lovely meal and for boxing up a brilliant Christmas meal for a member of the family who unfortunately couldn't make it due to illness - the Saddington family

This family-friendly and dog-friendly estate pub and restaurant exceeded my expectations on all levels. The management and staff were courteous, friendly and helpful; the homemade meals were top draw for the money, and were certainly worth the wait; and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The beers are well kept and reasonably priced too!

10 campers for lunch, food was fresh loads of it even the light bite was plentiful no room for pudding though

Marstons Pedigree and spit roast chicken, does not get much better! Good steak options as well. Perfect for lunch time refreshments after walk.

Loved it! Great place. Great street. Great area. A nice place and the people from the area seem nice too.

We took a party of 17 OAPs from Glenfield U3A to the pub for a lunchtime meal. We were about the only ones in the pub and we were looked after very well by Kirstie. The menu was quite extensive and was 2 for ten pounds which we all liked. the food quality and quantity was very good considering the cost but there seemed to be a very long wait between ordering and eating. Apart from that it was very good.

We have been several times for the fresh carvery. It is good value and well presented. Freshly cooked roasts, several different meats. Plenty if fresh veg., in a variety of options.

I can agree with previous reviews about re-cooked chips! I hadnt been to this pub for over 20 years, and so I was looking forward to a nice lunch, but i found our food arrived just 5 minutes after i had ordered it, we hadnt even sat down when it arrived.The chips were brown... certainly not what we were expecting, my friend even remarked that they came out before we have sat down.The bar lady spent most her day sat out in the sun smoking, and the pub, sadly, looks lilke it hasnt been cared for since i last visited, its a real shame to see pubs decline, but when nobody seems to care what they are dishing out or what the pub looks like, and indeed dishing out catering bottles of ketchup, its just such a shame, if i owned that pub i would be ashamed, embarrassed and would be trying to put things right, but i fear that nobody really cares about what they sell or what it looks like... I give it five years,,, and then it will probably be turned into houses, as estate pubs are dying.... this one seems to be on its last legs.thouroughly dissapointing and i have been so ill this morning that i immediatley thought of the hygine of that pub.added that the locals were a couple of middle aged men who should be at work, who told my daughter off for not finishing her chips saying, thats not very grateful, she cooked you them now eat them, what the actual?

Veggie combo! There were some mushrooms and onions in there somewhere disguised as batter. Cheap and cheerful, family and pet friendly.

Visited here with friends was really busy and great atmosphere , we ordered a sharing fish platter that I can highly recommend was really nice , had a few drinks and were made very welcome good value for a local pub .

We went here as a big party between Christmas and New Year. Service at the bar was rather slow as apparently 2 members of staff had called in sick. The food was good however and for the most part, it came out at the same time even though we ordered separately which was nice. The burgers were a little greasy but all in all, we had a good experience.

Visited at lunch with a group of friends who were all really impressed with the quality and value offered by the 2 for £10 menu. Meals were cooked to order and seemed to depend more on home cooking than the normal freezer selection.We were told about the just made steak and red wine pie which proved to be the star of the show. No tinned pie filling, just huge pieces of tender meat with not a scrap of waste, served in a rich sauce and a home made pastry lid. The only complaint was that some of us struggled with the very generous helpings,but no one faulted what was put in front of them.

We were driving past on the way home and stopped on the spur of the moment. It's a very relaxed put clearly loved by locals. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had the all day breakfast which was well cooked. We would return.

Only went a couple of times whilst staying up that way but both times the service was both friendly and welcoming offering a good selection of drinks and returned on the Sunday for the Carvery and it was excellent.Will return next time I'm in the area.

Belated birthday lunch with my sister who lives locally. She suggested here as it had just been refurbished and had previously come with our brother and had a nice meal. Barmaid very hospitable and gave us choices not listed on the menu. My sister had a jacket potatoe and had the faggots which were homemade and delicious. Very reasonably priced and well worth a visit.

A very nice meal, been a couple of times and find the pub and staff pleasant, food was pub grub but good, don't understand the very negative reviews on here but except thing go wrong in the best of places. I will certainly be going back.

Even though the pub has been decorated the menu is still exactly the same. Just had a terrible meal. Chips were re-heated, baked beans no taste, the cheapest ever, the burger i'm sure had no meat in it, tasted like a piece of rubber, and was literally burger and bun, no salad, onion or anything' my partner had fish and chips and the fish was from from Iceland ( the shop) not what you expect to pay for. The ketchup comes in a catering size bottle on the table, no finesse!!! Will not be visiting this pub again in the near future. If you want edible food do not go here.

Visited the Copt oak pub last week and really liked the new refurb. The Copt oak is open plan and looked twice as big. I found it had more space for more families to come in and enjoy what has to offer at this family pub, excellent food, outstanding service and a friendly atmosphere

Me and the good lady drop in on a Monday night for the 2 for £10 it is well worth the money no need to get the pans out because I could not make it and cook it for the same price. I all ways find the staff very helpful,jolly and nothing is to much trouble. I have read some of the other reviews and find them hard to swallow and let,s be right life is not perfect and thing do go wrong from time to time but if they offer to put it right or refund you your money back say thank you and go on your merry way you don't have to return that's your choice but remember when writing on this forum the staff who work there read this page and like most people you feel they are giving there all they get very upset when someone writes a damming review re the service / food on offer.

My wife and I decided that we would try a meal at this pub as had not been there for such a long time, the staff were preoccupied with something else and we had to find our own menu's. We both had chips with our meals and we thought that they had been warmed up and not fresh, however the waitress told us otherwise, we noticed that some others had much nicer looking chips than we did. There were two young boys under the age to be allowed into the premises, and they were playing football with a balloon, the waitresses just let them alone, the balloon came near to us and bounced off my wife. The land lady later informed us that they should not have been in that area. We declined a refund and will not be going there agin in the foreseeable future a very bad experience and not one to be repeated, not like the other reviews, were we in the same pub?

The Copt Oak is an amazing local pub, the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is outstanding cooked fresh and using wholesome ingredients and the Sunday carvery is simply amazing - Best carvery for miles!!!Kristen and Stu make everyone feel welcome and have made the pub the heart of the community again, there are regular theme nights and they always stop and listen to what people have to sayThe regulars are not a bad bunch either!Love this place

This jewel of a local pub/restaurant is, without doubt, worth visiting. Every meal that I have had at the family-friendly Copt Oak since moving to Leicestershire a year ago has been freshly prepared and served to a high standard. The food is reasonably priced, and nothing is too much trouble for the cheerful and friendly staff.

Yes the pub could do with a refurbishment, but this is something that will come from the brewery who own the pub and is now imminent.However the service is always friendly and the staff are always welcoming. The food is lovely and has a menu to suit everyone's taste. I have been coming to the pub since moving to the area 18 months ago, regulary bringing family and friends who enjoy themselves as much as we do.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. I have eaten here several times and have had a great meal each time.

We ate here twice. The food is good, fresh and served in generous portions. The staff are friendly and the bar selection is very good. But this place really deserves a make over. The toilets are tatty and the decor and furnishings desperately need attention. Come on Marstons. Think what sort of business this could be if you just give it a bit of TLC!

Well what can we say about this place! The staff are VERY friendly, very attentive, nothing is too much trouble! We moved from Blackpool earlier this year with my support dog, Paris, and she is ALWAYS made to feel welcome!The food is OUTSTANDING, the quality is second to none and the desserts are to die for! Once you've been here then I can guarantee you'll return!

This was a quick visit as my daughter had an event at her school. Food was really enjoyable - fresh and worth waiting a little while for. The staff were really friendly as well. This is the sort of place I wish I had near where I live. I will certainly visit it again when the opportunity arises

I first started coming to The Copy Oak over a year ago, it's now my local! I'm always blown away with the effort every staff member put into every service. The food is beyond amazing, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I've never ate anything so tasty and filling, then had it come to so little. Great pub, great staff, great food, great value! It's now our regular treat! Definitely recommend the Sunday Carvery!!!

We have had several evening meals in this local pub/restaurant as a couple, with our family and with friends, since we moved here in 2010. The food is very varied and always tasty. Recently we had a wonderful Sunday lunch here, a full carvery at excellent value. Stuart is a brilliant chef and Emma a really caring, friendly waitress. Thank you. We will be back.Louise and Pete Thornhill
