Hercules Revived in Hinckley and Bosworth

This was always my go to lunch spot, but no longer. Sandwiches are non existent, bring back the roast beef, ham, cheese etc, visited but could find nothing I fancied. Had to go to the pop up tea room next door, so glad I did… no wonder the pub was almost empty at 1.30pm on a Saturday lunchtime.

Good , friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly eating downstairs. I had a delicious steak burger, and fries. Pulled pork was added, and stilton, so tastey! I would definitely recommend.

An old pub in a rural setting that has been redecorated like a London restaurant. Please bring back the old steak and chips menu. The food was expensive and just sadly poor. From muddy pate served in a tiny jar and with two small pieces of baguette and no butter, to so called cheesecake that was also served in a jar because it consisted of a digestive biscuit with a liquid poured over it that was definitely not something that would have turned into a cheesecake, even in a freezer. If anyone goes back for a second meal from this current iteration of the Hercules they must have more money than sense and literally no sense of taste. I enjoyed a number of meals at the Hercules when it was a proper pub with food, and I wish I could go back to then. Hercules team, please, look at what you are serving and what you are charging for it. High prices should result in good food. I am not knocking your serving staff, who are charming, but the kitchen is really letting you down.

Sunday lunch with friends, as usual we were not disappointed. The roasts were excellent and the fish main apparently amazing. One small point..we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese, however, it was broccoli, not cauliflower, which should have been stated. Despite being busy, the service was superb.

Wasn't what I expected - lamb rump and croquette were both very good. However, let down by the jus and puree, neither tasted of anything significant - very disappointed. Ordered a side of peas and chanteray carrots - absolute rubbish in anything shell... no glaze, no seasoning - peas were like bullets, didn't eat them. I said to the waiter that I'd like a concession on the dish... he came back, said the chef said they weren't cooked enough - STILL CHARGED ME FOR THE DISH... Cheese cake was served way to cold, so much so that the temperature impaired the taste, could only taste bitter hint or orange - the base was hardly noticeable and the thyme tuille biscuit was tasteless, was more like a stale biscuit... one of two stewed beef dishes was almost like bottom of the pot, the other portion had some decent chunks of well cooked beef, the sauce was excellent, but no beef - all dishes were well presented but lacked substance overall - all elements of all of the dishes weren't up to more than 7/10, the lamb rump and taste of stewed beef tipped it up to a 7, otherwise overall a 6/10 - not over priced but disappointed that overall what was on the plate didn't do the menu justice - on a good day and if we return I'm hopeful that all aspects of the dishes will be on point. We'll give it another go.

Went for lunch today and found a cracking little restaurant ... Lovely atmosphere and great quality food and drink. Not the cheapest, however, you only need to glance at the decor and surroundings, and you were never going to conclude it was going to be cheap!! Dog friendly too, which is always a good sign of a place

Last minute booking with my husband, sunday lunch was beautiful, not one fault. Washed down with a glass or 2 of fizz. Service was amazing.

Was told about this place at work as bein dog friendly .decided to check it out first made booking day before .was greeted warmly by staff shown to our table ,the place looked very clean .we went upstairs to be seated good choir of food drinks .

Enjoyed a super Christmas lunch with a friend. Wonderful food. Excellent choice of venue. So cosy and welcoming. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

The food at Hercules Revived is excellent and all the staff are lovely and attentive. There are always great food and cocktail specials on offer, can’t wait to go back again soon!

The food here is made with the care and attention to detail that makes normal pub food, special. But not too special or fussy. It’s just perfect. The smoked salmon zinged with flavor and the fish and chips was one of the best I’ve ever had. I didn’t want it to end!

This is the second visit that we have made to this restaurant and it was absolutely lovely.The food was absolutely amazing.The service was excellent as well.Went there with friends who had never been before and they enjoyed it too Will definitely return.

Second time to the Hercules in recent times. They really have it spot on here. Great menu selection with local ingredients and very good value. The service is very polite and professional. Decor is very tasteful giving a nice ambience. Beef stew and Orzo dish were 10/10. Dog friendly in the bar area too. Overall faultless - well done Hercules 😊

Fabulous evening. Fabulous private area and meal. The manager and staff were excellent in helping us to accommodate and satisfy a party of ten consisting of adults, children and vegetarians. Would definitely recommend highly and look forward to our next visit.

I love this restaurant! I went with friends for my birthday meal and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and the staff are unfailingly friendly and cheerful - they are also very well-informed about the various dietary requirements our group has. It's set in the heart of the village, close to Bosworth Battlefield (also well worth a visit). Would strongly recommend.

Great location. Food is outstanding and the service was superb as always. Could not recommend this place any more. By far the best for miles around.

Lovely restaurant set over two floors in a beautiful quiet village. Prices are a little on the high side to start with, and you pay extra for vegetables with your meal, which I find excessive. The food overall was very good with strong flavours throughout. The menu caters for typical fare of fish & chips, burges, etc. through to tastey hosin flavoured pork belly dishes.

Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. The upstairs dining rooms are cosy and inviting. The food was delicious and we felt it was both good quality and good value. The waiting staff were professional with a smile. All in all a brilliant evening and we would definitely go back if we were in the area again. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Great meal, fab service and always so helpful with gluten free options. Always recommend to friends.

Went here with family for a birthday Sunday lunch and we all had fantastic meals. My roast pork was cooked to perfection with plenty of veg and gravy , with sticky toffee pudding for desert. Fish and chips, and burgers were had by my family...

We went to the restaurant with my daughter- the staff were very welcoming and delivered great service throughout the night. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere- a really lovely evening

We are local to the Hercules and have booked here many times, sometimes just for 2 and sometimes for larger family celebrations. Up until our most recent visit, this place has never failed to deliver. I’m not sure if the chef has changed as we...

Visited Saturday night and ate upstairs terrific piping hot food with great service .The dishes have had great thought which are really tasty,congratulations to the chiefs.The atmosphere is superb and amazing value ,we definitely will be back.Fish and chips best ever ,superb.Week done all.

The Frank Parker burger which they have served here for a long time and was consistently good seems to have been replaced by a home made burger that is terrible. I had the tasteless burger with very dry pulled pork. The new summer menu seems...

There was a hair in my food. The owner removed my meal and apologised with a comment " sorry about that, that's the 2nd hair tonight I really need to get the staff to tie their hair up, can I get you a replacement meal?"...

Outstanding impromptu lunch! Called in (hadn’t booked) and had a great 3 course lunch. Good service, beverages good, cheese to end meal was first class, we’ll be back.

Heard by word of mouth from many people how good this place is so thought we’d give it a try. The staff were polite and attentive and the service time was good. We had the duck for starters and my mum had the pate. All...

Very disappointed. Have eaten here before and enjoyed it. Went with my family for fathers day. Meal was warm not much meat and soggy roast potatoes. Broccoli cheese just doesn't work , Broccoli gets over cooked

What a fantastic place. We have always enjoyed every meal we have had at the Hercules but this time we rented we outside space for my wife’s birthday. They put an amazing bbq on for us with pulled pork and even vegetarian options for quests....

Wow our first visit to this restaurant and it won’t be our last. The food was superb and the pub / restaurant was lovely. Great choice on the menu and excellent food, definitely not “pub grub”. Can’t believe we’ve not found this restaurant before. Highly...

Great service and fantastic tasty food. A brilliant find, just wish we lived closer. Every dish we had were excellent. Great advice on wine with the meal. Wide variety of wine by the glass.

The food was great. Staff were friendly. My only negative was that I asked for a glass of wine. The waiter let me try a sip of one he suggested and I decided to have a glass of the one I tried.. it was £12!!...

Booked a table for 6 for a family meal on a Sunday lunchtime. We were seated upstairs with a nice view of the church across the fields. We ordered starters, mains & pudding for 4 adults, plus 2 children's meals. The two children ate fish,...

Had Saturday lunch with friends and it was wonderful. Great warm welcome to the restaurant, downstairs was busy but we were served drinks quickly and taken to our 1st floor table. Lovely lunch menu with plenty of variety, we had mains to save room for...

Just a beautiful quality meal! Well presented in a lovely atmosphere. Not been for a while but we will definitely be going back !!!

We took friends out for the evening and had a fantastic time. Really good food, great drink choices and helpful friendly staff. It's been a few years since our last visit and it was good then, but it's great now.

We tend to come here at least once a month for Sunday dinner sometimes twice, however a change in menu had been implemented but nothing advertised. Firstly we had booked our table on 10th March for our visit on 26th, usual booking, dog friendly table...

Have passed by many times, but this time we managed to stop..! We hadn't booked and the staff informed us that there would be a delay in the food order.. we didn't mind waiting so ordered drinks. When the food arrived it was piping hot...

This is a great venue for a meal with friends, couples, family, casual dining or a celebration. The surroundings are very pleasant, and better still the food is excellent, good quality ingredients and decent sized portions. I would recommend the burger, it was excellent quality....

First time visiting this place & absolutely loved it. Cozy atmosphere, friendly & personal staff, incredible food. Will definitely be eating here again soon!

I visit once a month for overnight trips with work and this is my favourite place so far in the area to eat. The atmosphere is lovely, especially downstairs, and the food is definitely way better than average good pub food. I'm often staying on...

Amazing place for lunch. Lots of parking available. The place is huge inside. Both of us had the Sunday roast dinner and they were lovely. Great choice of seasonal veg. An extra side of cauliflower cheese topped it off. All delicious and hot. Sticky toffee...

Looking after 24 of us for a family 21st birthday lunch, in an already busy restaurant, was no problem or effort for you. Outstanding food as always. Wonderful service from a fantastic team and our favourite place to eat by a mile. Thank you so...

I'm not a fan of writing bad reviews and before I continue it wasn't all bad it was just some things that I think for a restaurant of this quality can do a lot better. Firstly the good - Lovely polite service and a lovely...

Usually, we love to dine at this restaurant, but today's Sunday lunch was the absolute pits!! Tasteless, rushed & extremely overpriced. When we arrived the table was ready for us to sit down immediately which was a great start, our orders were taken but as...

Went to Hercules Revived last night with some friends. Hadn’t been for many, many years and was very impressed with all aspects of the restaurant. All staff were without exception, pleasant, very upbeat and efficiently professional. The food was excellent. All three courses were cooked...

Lovely place. Very clean and tidy and decor smart. Small restaurant downstairs and a nice little bar. Menu not massive but plenty of choice for us. Food and service was excellent. We just thought it was a bit on the expensive side for what you...

Lovely and helpful staff throughout, beautiful and tasteful environment. The food was absolutely stunning, one of the best experiences we have ever had away. We had a 3 course set meal the first night (Monday) and returned for burger night (Wednesday) both occasions faultless and...

Enjoyed a very nice meal here. Garlic mushrooms on toast was very good although as toast was soaked in sauce it was difficult to tell it was toast. For me it could have been more garlicky but having said that, it was delicious. Fish of...

Called in while driving through the area for some lunch. Was blown away by the service, the menu, the interior and the food. Couldn't fault it! Wish we lived nearer to be regular customers.

My husband ordered the burger and not only did it not look good but he also said it was one of the worst burgers he has ever had. Everything from the flavour to the texture was not right. I ordered the pate. It lacked flavour...

Had a lovely visit in the beer garden until the bill came. Ordered half an ale with a dash of lemonade. Wouldn’t normally make a fuss, but was charged for a bottle of lemonade as well as the ale. (This was more expensive than my...

Found this lovely Restaurant a prefect summer evening meal. I started with Salmon and Prawn Ceviche which went down a treat, My wife had Braised Beef for main lots of big chunky beef pieces . I had the duck breast which was cooked to perfection,...

We have experienced the Hercules before and have always been delighted. The Spring Lunch, however, is an exceptional treat. 6 course taster menu with chosen accompanying wines. Unless you are a wine expert, brands and flavours that you may never have experienced, all with a...

I was given a meat dish instead of a vegetarian meal as ordered. I was extremely ill when I realised the mistake after taking a mouthful. I was told by the owner, by phone, this morning that I should have taken responsibility for checking my...

We were very disappointed with the food. The fish was overcooked and my chicken Kiev was average. The waitress refunded the cost of the fish meal but it was a very poor experience. There are better restaurants within a 5-mile radius of this place an.d...

Visited today for a Sunday dinner.. shocking experience. Arrived early and table was ready which was great, went straight to the table and staff took order very swiftly, so far so good. Food arrived quickly maybe because they didn’t have much food to prepare.. Two...

First visit and was so looking forward to it as all the reviews rated the service so highly. All looked great on arrival when we were shown to our table. Sadly it went down hill from there. Two choices for vegetarians- that’s my fault for...

Lovely traditional menu, excellent quality, good size portions and very well presented. Staff were very pleasant and attentive.

This is our third visit since Covid restrictions were relaxed, each time we have felt completely safe, the tables are well spaced & on this occasion we sat by an upstairs window. The service is always attentive, the quality of the food is always first...

Fabulous evening tonight, friendly staff ,lovely atmosphere and fantastic food .very enjoyable evening ,thxs to all the staff

We had a fabulous meal and we want to thank them for fitting us in at late notice after being let down by another restaurant. The food was excellent, service first class and it is has a friendly atmosphere. We cant thank them enough.

Finally able to go out and meet up with friends of old and chose the Hercules, what a pleasure. Ate in the marquee - heated and comfortable, and was entertained by the free range chickens in the car park! The food was delicious, the salmon...

We decided to treat ourselves to lunch here as lockdown eased, but the experience didn't live up to our expectations. We both had soup and this was quite bland, and our burgers to follow were very ordinary too. It's a shame as the service was...

Came here for a midweek evening meal in the Autumn after trying out the pizzas in the outdoor woodshed on a previous occasion. Lovely autumnal menu full of comfort food favourites and a cosy fire going - we ordered the fish and chips, braised beef...

What an exceptional meal! A familiar menu, but cooked to perfection, with a thoughtful choice of wines and a rhubarb gin to die for (try neat with ice to enjoy the genuine nose and flavour!). And a refreshing local canal walk via the Battle of...

Sunday dinner was amazing! Food arrived quickly and hot, everything was lovely and gravy was exceptional. The restaurant itself was also lovely, will defiantly be visiting again.

We’ve been twice now for lunch and both times really great. The roast beef sandwich is delicious and the chips are fabulous! Nice service and Covid secure

As you can see in my title it was the best meal I think I've ever had. The food was cooked to perfection and was great value for money. The chef even came out of the kitchen to introduce himself and to ask if the...
