Eye Kettleby Lakes Tea Room in Melton

Our group of ladies were well treated ( one of us arrived very late and there was no fuss to make us order without her). In fact, service was excellent. We all ate different dishes and all enjoyed our meals. We now think this may also be the Christmas venue for our get- together!

Shocking size of the chocolate caramel cake, we were just given half potions. I did say they were very small slices and was told that’s how small they are potions now! I know there are hard times but to half potions and increase the price is shocking! £4.45 each slice. Not a happy customer. It’s a shame as the site is lovely but will not be ordering any cake again. I did go back and take a photo of the last piece of the cake in the cafe!!!! This would probably be cut into two pieces.

We have eaten here a number of times during our stays at Eye Kettleby and the food has always been really good. The portion sizes, in our opinion, are big for the price, so definitely value for money. The choice is really good and there are daily specials too. The team were happy to accommodate any small changes we asked for which was appreciated. All the staff were welcoming and friendly and after staying on-site for over a week, we got to know some of the team who remembered us from previous stays. We have also had breakfast - again good choice and definitely value for money. Can also recommend the fruit scones….delicious!

Extremely disappointed...We were bringing our 97 year old Aunt with us for lunch. As our Aunty has a very small appetite I asked about the children's menu for her. We were told that they couldn't offer her the child's menu. The manager went through to the kitchen to ask the chef... I was then told that they could do a child's portion, but it would be full price, 'WHAT A RIP OFF' we were extremely unhappy about this but couldn't do anything at the time as it was a Christmas treat. At the end of the meal I did express how unhappy we were. Why can you not offer smaller portions for the elderly at a reasonable price.

Excellent food and cakes! Can be pricey but standard is that of quality and well cooked .. Have had breakfast here twice and sunday lunch twice... Hope to visit again soon

Delicious Sunday dinner! Could not fault it one bit. The staff are excellent too. So nice to have a dog friendly area too. Would highly recommend . The fruit scones are delicious too.

The place is excellent, the staff are excellent and the food was excellent. Not much else to say, really we come here a lot and stay in the lodges and for me the customer service is superb 👌.

Nice food and nice people. Enjoyed the experience. Must go to breakfast next time and sample the “ full English “😀🤪

Visited with my parent and children for breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Whole place very clean and welcoming. Accepts dogs which to many is welcoming but may put others off as there were a few in the restaurant. The breakfast was great value with tea / coffee included and a good range available. Beans come in a separate pot which is great for those who don't like it spreading onto other breakfast items :) Very accommodating for allergies and able to switch out items my daughter is allergic too. Sausages were fab and bacon cooked just as we like it - very well done and crispy :)

We love to escape to Eye Kettleby Lakes lodges for some downtime. The lodges have received some tlc lately so we had new kitchen, dining table and sofa. All lovely. The weather wasn't great, but we stocked up on food and drink and had everything else we could need. We ate our sunday lunch at the Tearoom and can only say it was delicious. Good portions. Good selection. Good menu - we'd booked and advised we needed a dairy free meal. As always the staff were a delight and we can't wait to be back again hiding in our little place of tranquillity.

We had a meal for 4, 2 lasagne 1 chicken baguette and one pheasant casserole, all expressed great enjoyment with the meal. The service was good even though it was a very busy lunchtime. the dining room was warm to hot which was great as the day was cold. We would all visit again very soon.

We stayed here in the Moho for a couple of nights. All staff and facilities were faultless. I was even served by a very competent little lad behind the bar on Fish & Chips night.

Wonderful few days here. Fantastic touring site and fishing lakes. Spotless toilets & showers. Wonderful clubhouse & tearoom. And thankyou so much for allowing my doggy to enjoy your clubhouse too! We will definitely be returning.

We visited today as a party of 8 for Sunday lunch. It was easily the best food we’ve had in an age and the staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating - our daughter is quite a fussy eater and they went out of their way to ensure that she was served something that she really enjoyed! A huge thank you! We’ll definitely be returning.

We went to the Lakes Tea room for lunch recently as we had seen good reviews for it in Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed, and although it is called a tea room, it is more like a restaurant, the whole site is clean and tidy, well organised and good value for money. I ordered Melton Mowbray Chicken and my partner had Cajun Chicken salad. Both were very tasty and I would go as far to say that my Chicken was delicious. Very good value too at £12-95. For desserts we had Cheesecake and Creme Brulee, both with Ice cream, and these too were well presented and very tasty. Service was very good with polite smiling waitresses. The total bill including drinks and coffees etc was £46 which is comparable to the cost per person that we can pay in most restaurants. We are looking forwad to going there again (we live 20 minutes drive away) to try more items on the menu. If you live nearby it is worth looking up this place, the signs say Eye Kettleby Lakes, but there is much more than just fishing there.

A pleasant venue for 3 generations of the family to relax and enjoy good food and drinks , close buy are several fishing lakes if you fancy do some fishing no problems parking is easy

...shame about the meal. Four of us ate different choices - three of which were distinctly under par. Coronation Chicken on jacket potato - the cubes of chicken were like eating dice...handmade bacon burger...bacon pure salt, burger drier than the sahara....bbq pork melt...pork like leather and as for the melted cheese....think eating a piece of plastic. Really disappointing food but a fantastic location...Probably won't make a return visit.

Nice location lovely food and service today I enjoyed the 8oz cheezy burger that makes high street shops products look like cheap meat. The burger that I enjoyed is made from local meat and was first class meat with hand cut chips etc we will definately return for another meal

A most excellent brew and cake had by my girlfriend and I! Welcoming staff and a friendly atmosphere! Just wonderful

Very welcoming and great service. A very relaxing atmosphere and a nice selection of canapés and cakes. A nice treat to do in very pleasant surroundings. You need to prebook, but it’s worth it. A nice present to take your mum out, go with your partner, or go with friends. Would recommend this.

we have had a few meals at this tea room. Sunday lunch is great and the service is very good. They have a very good menu for breakfast so far I have only gone for the full English which is lovely again the breakfast service is very good.

7 of us came for afternoon tea on Tuesday 28 May. We absolutely loved it. The selection of food was spot on. We highly recommend - well done!

Staying at the rowan lodge so we popped in for lunch, the panini was lovely, but the chips were some of the best I’ve ever tasted, lovely surroundings

We have been staying at this venue for about the last 7 years, we have watched it grow as they have expanded into not just Luxury Log Cabins & Glamping Pods but catering for Caravans with a Touring Park. For us as its adults only accommodation it is a relaxing venu. The Clubhouse now offers a range of food for eating at Breakfast, Lunch & Afternoon Tea with good opening times.We found the food excellent - especially the Soup at lunchtime - not out of a tin or made from powder that's for sure.

Perhaps the good weather helped but we had a most enjoyable meal sitting outside, with good fresh food and friendly service. The place was buzzing.

We were a party of 4 that visited, first time for 2 of us. We had booked for 2pm and arrived a little early, so we sat outside with a drink in the sunshine waiting for our table. They had a special menu for Easter Sunday, mostly Roast dinners, one of us had chicken, another one gammon, another one had beef& the final person had goats cheese that they had with the veg, roast potatoes & Yorkshire(This was a special requst) the staff were really helpful & polite and couldn't do enough to please us. All very happy with all aspects of our dining experience. We would go back hopefully when we visit in our Motorhome.

Fabulous tasty fresh breakfast, friendly staff, quality service .... al fresco in March .,, great place to be,

Nice new restaurant very good layout, still a tot to do , we had Sunday lunch there and was a bit disappointed, everything was cold , the plate of food was created this morning and was cold the giant Yorkshire pudding was cold and dry , the veg was just cooked as in hard and was very sparse between 6 of us until we had nearly finished our meal when another dish came out , the tart I had for pudding was hard and dry , will give it a miss for a while until it finished and then try one last time ,

Fantastic visit to the tea rooms at eye kettleby - cakes, food and drinks (hot and cold) are well served with a friendly welcome. Made our 2019 start well worth the visit!!!

We had Sunday Lunch here and it was absolutely delicious,very fast and friendly service and very generous and tasty portions.However the menu on the website is diffrent to the one there,still tasty options though.I had the Chicken Roast Dinner

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Lots of roast beef delicious! Giant Yorkshire pudding great vegetables. Roast turkey was also lovely. Great value highly recommended. Nice surroundings.

We booked for afternoon tea and wow we were not disappointed, we were served by friendly and efficient staff. The selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones were all really fresh and very pleasing, the tearoom it’s self is very welcoming, a great value afternoon tea ☕️

This was my first visit although my two friends have visited several times. The surroundings are idyllic, way out in the countryside with a long driveway where you pass long horned cattle. There's a substantial car park. The description, "tea-room" is quite misleading as this is actually an extremely large open plan restaurant in a U shape. So there can be many diners in there but it doesn't seem packed. There is also a lovely verandah for outside dining. The menu is very varied and something for everyone, including children. My one comment would be that the price is a wee bit excessive for the type of dining you experience. Having said that, we all very much enjoyed the tastyness of our choices and cleared our plates. The cake is delicious and the portions nicely large for an after main meal treat. We will certainly be returning.

2nd Sunday lunch here. Nothing to fault - excellent roast pork with crackling. Perfect cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pudding too, all served with fresh veg. Desserts are homemade and delicious. Waiting staff polite, friendly, and extremely patient. Will definitely be back again!!

We often stay on site in our caravan and once a year stay in the lodge here...They are always very enjoyable stays...The tea rooms provide comfortable beautiful rooms with excellent staff who work really hard and on Saturday nights they provide excellent entertainment and if you like country music really recommend Rodeo Jo who performs her great music singing and cheerful personality...also saw Dolly tribute which was excellent but it was very full and you had to be there at 6.30 to get seated and she came on at 9pm for two 45min slots ...it was brilliant but prefer Rodeo Jo ...Will be back to see her xxx

A lovely place to eat, excellent service and very nicely decorated, would hihly reccommend a visit..

Eye Kettleby Tea Room never disappoints, my mum and I often lunch here and the menu offers such a variety of dishes with lots of daily specials, staff are always friendly and food is prompt. The afternoon tea is also brilliant and my grandparents always ask to be brought here for their birthdays.

Use the tea room when visiting with caravan would reccomend a visit for Sunday Lunch. The afternoon teas are great, the staff work hard to make sure you enjoy the visit.

We popped into the Eye Kettleby Tea Room during a country lane Sunday morning meander, really to see just what the "Eye Kettleby Lakes" concept was all about. Glad we did, as it made for a very pleasant stop - ideal for tea, or lunch. Surrounded as it is, by a series of well ordered and very pretty course angling lakes, amongst shady woods, with fields beyond, the setting is picturesque & peaceful. The two large indoor dining areas have a pleasing "pine-log cabin ambience and the service, on a very busy (World Cup) Sunday was both friendly & efficient. The lunchtime menu was fairly comprehensive, more than adequately catering for those seeking a light bite, a full on feast, a refreshing drink, or whatever. All pitched around the "Good Pub Grub" mark, representing fair value, served attractively and of ample proportions. Tempting desserts too! Very pleasant, shady al fresco areas were also available. Child & dog friendly, it makes for an attractive refreshment destination stop - non anglers very welcome! The farm shop just up the road is well worth a look too. We'll be back.

Firstly , I should say that all the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. The extensions inside and outside are exceptional.However, the break fast on Saturday morning, did let EK down.The toast came with the breakfast, it was piled on to, with no sideplate to use. Non of the 4 of us, had butter...we had to chase staff for some. I squeezed the field mushroom, to remove all the grass....but there was so much grease soaked in it, it was inedible.The scrambled eggs were obviously microwaved, and were just a crumbly pile of rubbery pieces. I left them. The 2 pots of tea came without milk....again we had to chase staff to get some.All in all, a disappointing breakfast. We are regular visitors here, but won't be using the clubhouse for breakfast again. We will use it for sandwiches and cakes, going forward.

Such a lovely place! Amazing food, well priced. Very clean. Lovely staff. Also child friendly. Really good menu choice xx

We have visited here with our tourer 3 times, we stayed for Sunday lunch this weekend for my hubby’s birthday all I can say it was delicious we had prawn cocktail & garlic mushroom starters and both had the roast beef with plenty of veg and gravy & homemade Yorkshire puddings the beef melted in your mouth and the gravy was scrumptious well worth a visit the staff are lovely and friendly and Paul knows his gin rhubarb & ginger beer & the pink grapefruit & tonic very nice we will be back soon

My wife and I had a delicious Sunday lunch here this week. We’re local but had never been before. We were bought a gift voucher at Christmas and took an opportunity to use it. I had pork and my wife had beef. Both meals were piping hot and perfectly cooked. The desserts are just as good. It’s one of the best Sunday lunches we’ve had for some time and it’s good value for money too. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Had an absolutely fabulous time here the food is amazing all freshly cooked also had Sunday lunch and it’s to die for..... fabulous food fabulous service what more could we ask for. Oh and not forgetting full English breakfast too.... would highly recommend.

Go here all the time, Yummy scones with Cream and Jam, best ever!!! Lovely Log cabin nice walk after around the fishing lakes.

Yesterday i visited Eye Kettleby Lakes for lunch with my partner. We were greated by friendly waitresses and the food was delicious, nicely dressed salad to accomapny my Gammon steak. The chips were amazing, proper homemade chunky chips. My partner enjoyed her quiche of the day, with crumbly pastry. We will definatley be back again soon.

Restaurant has good local reputation, nice location and food is not bad but the "steak and onion pie" that I ordered was just an oval bowl of mince with a square bit of pastry on top, a few lack lustre chips and some cooked frozen peas. Asked waitress to check with kitchen re my dish but she avoided us thereafter with no explanation. Lamb steak dish was tough also. I was probably just unlucky but wouldn't go again for lunch. Afternoon tea looked brilliant and would go for that.

Took my mum out for a light lunch, nice variety on the menu. everything freshly cooked and looked pretty on the plate. Can see this place becoming one of our regular spots. Well done Eye Kettleby!

Me and a group of friends decided to have lunch here with our children. We chose to sit outside so that the children wouldn't disturb other diners. Unfortunately, the outside area has no boundary fences or play area and this tempted the smaller children to run towards the car park and the lake. The staff we encountered were very abrupt and the waitress could not be bothered to walk around the table to put the food down in front of us. Our drinks orders were also forgotten about. I appreciate that not everywhere is child friendly but my friend did explain that we were bringing the children when she booked and there is a children's menu which implies that it is a child friendly place.

Would never go here again! Waitress was so rude, everything seemed like a huge effort! She was huffing and puffing! Food tasted nice at the time but within an hour of leaving myself and my friend were violently sick and had chronic stomach pain.Pretty views, unhelpful staff, whole experience wasn't nice.

Several recommendations from people so lovely day ....nice drive over to Eye Kettelby.Had nt booked but sat out on decking.Staff very friendly and welcoming even though very busy as had had water problem.Had lovely "jacket potato " with all the trimmings. ...really lovely and husband had sandwiches with all the trimmings!! Followed with Lemon drizzle cake!!!Definitely fancy another trip over....walked through restaurant ...all food looked great and everyone seemed happy.

We have been here several times for lunch. Each time the food and service has been excellent. Nice warm log cabin restaurant with open views and outside seating areas. Can't fault it. We'll keep going back.

I have been here three times now for Afternoon tea and I must say it is amazing! The wooden lodge is warm and cosy. Beautifully delicate sandwiches, home made cakes and unlimited tea and coffee. This is a great place to take a loved one for a birthday treat.

What a lovely way to spend a cold, damp February afternoon. Lovely atmosphere, great service and probably the best afternoon tea I've had. Sandwiches made with Hambleton Bakery bread, mini creme brulee to die for and lots of delicious mini cakes. Will return.

Visited the restaurant on Sunday morning. It was almost empty still staff informed us that we can't seat at the table because they are fully booked for lunch. In a while we decided that it wouldn't be comfortable to have a lunch at the sofa next to entrance doors so we wanted to have a cup of tea but this didn't help us to seat at the table in the restaurant for 20 minutes. Most of the tables weren't marked as reserved, staff charged us for two pots of tea when we asked for one pot for two. It was still empty when we left. But we couldn't have a table and had to seat on the sofa next to entrance. Liked this place previously but won't go there anymore.

Beautiful area. Warm and friendly staff in a fabulous lodge. I had Fizzy afternoon tea. Great sandwiches and cakes. The pink Prosecco really good. Thoroughly recommended.

Stopped for an impromtu lunch and not disappointed. Good extensive menu from sandwiches and cakes to a full on meal. Ordered the chefs special burger, it was pretty massive served with chips and salad. Good service and a nice friendly atmosphere.

Excellent food and lovely service. Must recommend the chips there so yummy!. Outside space is tranquil

This is a fishing, caravanning and glamping site with an excellent and very attractive restaurant which is open to the general public. I've been there recently with daughters and granddaughters for afternoon tea - a beautifully presented and very tasty experience . Even more recently we've been for Sunday lunch. Matched the best in the area, very impressed.

We had a delightful lunch here on Saturday. Four adults and 2 babies. The food was amazing. All home cooked and locally sourced. The service was so friendly and helpful. The waitress made us feel welcome especially the 2 babies. Would definitely recommend. Think I need to try their breakfast and afternoon tea!

Despite being born in Melton and having lived there for over 50 years, I wasn't aware of Eye Kettleby Lakes and that they offer lunches etc, even better we can go for a lovely walk round the lakes with the dog and take her into the bar with us whilst we have lunch.This trip, we also took elderly meat eating mother in law, vegan hubby and me (a vegetarian). How did they cope? Very well!Will definitely be going back again.
