Horse and Jockey in Hinckley and Bosworth

A lovely evening. Super food and delightful service from a range of hard working young people who worked well as a team to ensure we had a lovely meal. Range of food on the menu tempted us to try something new and we weren’t disappointed. Staff listened to our order and checked on our satisfaction. A great way to celebrate our anniversary and looking forward to returning to trying out something else on the menu! Already booked for a November treat!

This restaurant is by far the best sunday lunch spot for miles around , but yesterday was a disappointment ,the bruschetta was burnt black ,and had a bitter taste , The mains order was mixed up and we were presented with the wrong food , the beef was so thin it was see through and very fatty . hopefully this is a one off

Very disappointed today with our Sunday lunch. The customer service was non existent. we explained to our server that our food was warm, with vegetables being cold. It was like a poor comedy sketch as we were asked what we wanted todo about it ! We suggested they change the veg for hot vegetables , the server seemed reluctant and confused how to do this simple issue. The atmosphere in the lounge was also very odd. staff looked miserable and we felt they just didn’t want to be there. They are very young and need training.. There is something very different now and not in a good way. We won’t return .

A fantastic restaurant, fabulous menu and great food. Nothing was too much trouble we were a group of ten. Staff very happy to serve drinks at the table for us all, very obliging when we bought a birthday cake with us to the restaurant. Great food quality at great prices and staff spot in, highly recommended

Lovely pub, with attentive staff. Roast lamb was sadly fatty and the stoneware plates went cold too quickly which, meant the food went cold. All in all, we won't be returning 😔

Great village pub/restaurant! Friendly staff, decent food and drink! Highly recommended! One of the best restaurants in the area!

Excellent food and service. We visited three times on our boating holiday which says it all really. I imagine it can get busy at weekends, so probably worth booking if you can.

Great service and good food. Nice place for a small group for celebrations or casual meal.

Improved immensely from 4 years ago, great food, lovely people.

We stopped here for lunch, we didn't reserve a table, but best to. The interior has ornaments, paintings and other items for sale. Lots to look at. I wanted the fish fingers sandwich, but they use batter instead of breadcrumbs. I had the hunters chicken sandwich with fries, my husband had the prawn and crab sandwich with fries. The fries were lovely and fresh with a nice crisp nice when biting them. My sandwich was nice, the bloomer bread was soft. My husband said his bread was dry and the prawn and crab was bland. It could have done with a few sprinkles of chilli flakes. We both had one scoop of ice cream, strawberry and cherry, both were fine. I've given 5 ⭐ due to accommodating us without a booking and my food was fine.

First time at this pub and would certainly recommend. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was very busy hence the delay in getting our main course. The staff recognised our wait and apologised for the delay. It’s a great place to eat and look forward to our next visit.

Myself and fiancé absolutely love this place. It holds a special place in our hearts. The atmosphere is lovely. Staff are so friendly. The food is mouth watering!

Delicious food and fast and friendly staff, the added bonus was that my fur baby was allowed in the bar area too, and had lots of fuss

We had a lovely evening. The staff all very attentive and on the ball. Food was great & so was the atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back again. 😀

Passing by on a canal holiday. Strolled into Congerstone. Went to the H&J Really excellent Food provision. Served hot and flavoursome. Great diverse menu. Solid real ale offering too. TT Landlord, Sharp's IPA & Bass Good service. Nice buzz for a Wednesday lunchtime Money well spent. Empty plates. Happy customers

Lovely pub with quite a modern interior but still quite cozy. Service was excellent and the food was lovely. The pistachio creme brulé was so nice. Little unusual that it sold home accessories too

Nice staff, food enjoyable good people. That's what a thirstday should be.

I genuinely had an amazing experience here! The service was phenomenal, even when my group wanted to change seating areas and they were still so busy! But they got us sorted right away and were so genuine with their interactions with us and others around. The atmosphere was also beautiful. I’m not from here but it’s amazing to see how old things are and well maintained. The people in this place were very lovely. Some even sharing a word or two. Everybody seemed so lovely and kept the atmosphere of the restaurant very homey. And my god the food.. I know I went when I was hungry but I still reckon this was some real good food! I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, some cheesy garlic bread and the sticky toffee pudding. And the portions are good sizes, the food tastes great. I honestly highly recommend this place. It was third time lucky for me and my friends. The vibes of the place just made it such a beautiful place to come to for a meal. The dining setting (separate from the bar area) would be perfect for an evening date.

What a lovely pub in super location but boy was the service style very odd Lots of young staff who were rushing around and more interested in taking your food away then letting you enjoy your meal in a relaxed atmosphere. I was asked twice if I'd finished for every part of my meal when was clearly holding cutlery or my husband was eating. Wasn't even too busy. No chance to even read the menu before being asked to order. Think they should have dedicated table staff rather than each of them rushing around. Felt they were trying to out do each other. Also strange that soft drinks ie lime and soda couldn't be pints and came in the smallest glasses. Very odd Food ok. Just needs someone to control over enthusiastic young people!

Popped in for dinner lunch with friends and the food was excellent.

Had my 60th Birthday meal here. The food, beer, gin and staff are all outstanding. The decor in the bar and restaurant is wonderful. I'm going frequent this place much more often. Thanks.

Really lovely, top notch food. The staff were lovely. Not expensive for the quality and presentation of the food. Will definitely be going back!

A lovely fish finger sandwich for lunch. Friendly staff

Very disappointed that one person from our party of ten were refused sandwiches and fries, as we were sitting in the restaurant. At the time there were no other customers and yet the only option was for that person to have to sit in the bar alone, disgrace and very disappointed when our overall bill was in excess of £200, inc £18 service charge. Will not recommend out of principle and sheer unhelpfulness. I appreciate bar snacks may not be served in the restaurant however we were a group of 10 and only one that was not feeling particularly well opted for a light option.

Beautiful pub in a lovely rural location. Loads of parking. Staff were attentive and polite. The food was perfect, and I can be very judgemental! Well worth a visit.

We discovered this absolute gem last month, and have been back three times already! I cannot fault it in any way, it’s wonderful.

Unfortunately this beautiful country pub is let down by totally disinterested staff. They bang plates on the table, throw menus at the end of the table where nobody is even sitting whilst practically continuing to walk past, fail to ask if you need anything once your meal has been pushed in front of you (such as sauces) and don’t ask if everything is ok with the meal. On a previous visit, a whole main course even got forgotten and wasn’t ordered from the kitchen! I’d like to say it was a one off experience, but unfortunately not. The only saving grace is that they have a fantastic chef and the food is lovely.

Great gastro pub, food was great. Only strange thing is they put loads of pepper on the gammon.

We are on our narrowboat and first visited about 15 months ago.What can I say absolutely superb service and food.I had a crab and prawn tian for starter and then Guinea fowl for main.The best pub meal I have had in a very long time.Do not miss this gem of a place.

In short the Horse and Jockey is a very nice country pub. Being local I often stop for a drink whilst on a walk, this is very pleasant whether sat outside in the summer or by the fire in winter. The choice of drinks while not extensive is more than sufficient, the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Aspal cider are favourites of mine. The menu in the restaurant isn't gourmet but everything i have tried is very nice and of high quality. It is pretty much as you'd expect of up market country pub food. The pies are of especial note, being a proper pie and none of this dish with a pastry lid rubbish. The Sunday roasts are also very nice.

Quality Sunday lunch, staff are excellent, good atmosphere. Cannot think of a negative, this is a very well run business.

Haven’t been here in a while since it’s been done up. We popped in for a drink and some lunch one Saturday afternoon recently and we were not disappointed. We ordered from the lunch menu, which was fantastic value!! Lovely atmosphere inside too.

Lovely place for a meal. Steak was superb!

Can't comment on the food as we only had drinks there ...but would certainly recommend...lovely place !

Great food and service in nice surroundings. A little off the beaten track, but well worth a visit. Prices very reasonable for the quality of food. I'd recommend booking. We booked on a Saturday night for 1830 and by the time we were leaving circa 2 hours later the place was pretty full - I think you'd get turned away if you just rocked up! I can't see us being in the area again, but if we ever are, we'll certainly be stopping here for a bite to eat.

This was always somewhere that provided excellent food in a reasonably convivial environment depending on the mood of the manageress! Now recently bought out and in decline with no interest in customer experience. Food is still good but atmosphere and customer service matter and here it is treated now as an inconvenience by the team management. We won't return, at 120 quid for a pub supper there are many places that value customers more

great lunch here, hidden gem, came december too but the menu seemed different the, much better now - I will be bsck for sure.

Very lovely place. Food was a total let down. Camembert tasted sour. And the pulled pork burger was very dry and bland. As a regular I have high hopes for this place. But after this I don’t think I’ll be returning or recommending the food. Very disappointing as my local!

Above & beyond expectations lovely food staff & venue highly recommended

Was passing and popped in for lunch, doggy friendly area with a great lunch time menu Highly recommend will be coming back soon

Always great food! Have been several times now and will go again!

Arrived without booking but was shown to bar table quickly by a lovely gentleman. Went to bar to order food and drink, had menu in my hand, I know i'm only 5ft tall but was totally ignored by a girl who walked by 3 times. Finally gave up and left. Shame as had been there once before with work colleagues and was really nice. Today was a different experience!

We had a nice meal here. The staff were attentive, and the food was really nice and arrive quite quickly. Only 1 out of the five of us didn't love it. But all the starters went down well. My wife had a steak, and she said it was one if the nicest she'd had. Being vegetarian, the choice wasn't super for me, but what I had was tasty.

Visited today for a Sunday roast - excellent food, great service (especially from Mike who looked after us very well) and would definitely recommend!

Went in for a pint but stayed for pie and another pint, great pub lovely atmosphere and music, attentive staff, thank you we'll be back

Best destination gastro pub in area

We just popped in for a drink halfway through a walk. We stood waiting at the bar for a long time before someone came to serve us each of the 3 times we went to the bar and then they weren't that friendly. Nice setting.

Great place to eat. Super food, lovely atmosphere and good service.

Great service,food amazing as usual,wife was allowed to order a child's Sunday lunch as she isn't a big eater,which was a bonus.

Great place & dog friendly in the bar, we ate here & food was good (as is the beer). Have been a few times now and it's in our favourites list.

A very nice restaurant with a good choice of food and drinks. Staff very pleasant and efficient. Certainly worth another visit.

Good menu, plenty of gluten-free options, friendly staff.

Good food, attentive staff and pleasant vibe.

Great in restaurant, lounge or bar. Really recommend 👌

Good and service was very good. Will go again.

Great night for us. All in our party had a brilliant time and all enjoyed it.

Lovley lunch ,everything was great.

Very Christmassy and warm atmosphere. Lovely meal . ....

Great resturant, good food and atmosphere. Only downside is the descretionary 10% service charge added to the bill for tables of over 5. If you are going to do this then add it to ALL bills regardless of the number of occupants. I also do not see why it is added to the cost of the drinks the bar is only 10m away and it adds over £2 for a bottle of wine. My service charge would have been over £30 which I considered excessive, I then had the embarisment of asking to have it removed.

They didn't rush us but service was good. The portions were very generous and the main course and dessert were very tasty. We took our daughter and family who had not been there before, they were very impressed. Would certainly recommend this place.

We enjoyed an excellent lunch with very good service at a reasonable price.

Been going there for years as it's only an hour's walk from home. Have the soup and sandwich deal but recently, they've cut down the sandwich choice to just 2 so not as varied as I'd like. However, the service has improved of late - waiting time previously could be as long as 40 mins despite no-one else being in. Now down to 15ish mins. All the staff are really nice.

3/4 stars, food was good there's no doubt about that, the decor was nice, seats were leather lined and cracked looked a little tired. Overall it was a nice experiance, service was overall OK but was let down at the end of the meal where staff were rushing round us making tables up for the following day (we were one the last sittings) but neglected to come to us, after half an hour we had to chase things up. Just a slight let down on what was overall a nice experiance.

Read so much about this place so decided to take wife for Sunday lunch well building and ambiance when into bar area haddog with us Ordered drinks and sat down no one come over to us so asked for menu ve comprehensive I may had wife didn’t want starter I again had to go to bar and ask what was the soup of the (mushroom) to which I ordered and we both chose the lamb (So far so good my soup arrived and can only be described as MAGNiF Here’s where it all goes down 🤑 Our lamb arrives and at first glance looks nice however there where 3 supposedly roast potatoes I tried to cut in it and was like leather the smell from said potato was like horrible and tasted just as bad just like you where eating a raw potato I went to bar and explained to n’armant he said he would get them exchanged and to be fair they did another man brought out 3 more with gravy so put one on my plate which was exactly the same as the ones I’d sent back this along with the thinnest slices of fat / lamb and undercooked veggies had by this time spoilt my appetite we finished our drinks I then went up to bar to pay and explain all of above to my surprise I would probably had more attention from my DOG so to conclude having spent the best part of £60 from my children s inheritance fund ! My wife and I left feeling really underfed and very disappointed with our experience

Sunday dinner is awesome staff are lovely

Lovely interior with very high standards.Very welcoming staff and great food menu.The four of us had food and drinks.Food was excellent quality,and tasted fantastic.Very pleased all round,and we would all return here again as new to the area.Very well done !

First visit and will definitely be returning! Staff were lovely and food amazing

Just been for Sunday lunch absolutely 💯 service was excellent staff were lovely will be back thankyou

We have just visited today for Sunday lunch! The food was good but we’re sat on a table next to the door into the kitchen which was like being sat in a wind tunnel! When we left I pointed out how dissatisfied were with this and both the managers were not bothered! My husband helped his 95 year mother out the door, I was on crutches and both men stood there and watched me struggle and at no point helped me! Totally disgusted!!!!!

Pie night and a pint on a Monday means you can only have a alcoholic drink. Coke or 0.0 beers are not included, which doesn't make sense. Most people have to drive here, which I think encourages drink driving.

A well presented establishment with a good range of quality drinks and freshly prepared food. Service is friendly and the décor eclectic yet modern and stylish. I have been on numerous occasions when in the area and am always happy to have visited.

The meal was lovely and service good. At the end I went to pay my bill and was given the wrong one or at least an incorrect one. This was corrected and I paid it. It wasn’t till I got home the I realised I had been charged £3:50 for a pint of soda water and a dash of blackcurrant. I know everything has increased in price but that seems a little extreme.

Open from 6 pm and have some sitting outside if the weather allows you to do it. Friendly staff, good and tasty food. Special offers for Wednesday and Thursday for 22£ - starter and main. Groups over 8 will have a 10% service charge added to the bill automatically.

Booked for Sunday lunch, chose roast beef. The meal was outstanding, I really enjoyed it, there was plenty on the plate. Loved the room.

Good food, friendly staff, accommodated a large group well

Having been on several occasions for lunch we recently ventured again very recently. The experience unusually on this occasion was not so good. The sandwich menu says bread will be bloomer, this was not so, just your regular everyday whole meal sliced the same as from the supermarket. Lunch was ok but we have certainly had better here….

Had a lovely meal when visiting my sister, home made vegetable pie ,friendly staff great atmosphere

Sunday lunch for six. Good service, excellent choice of food through from starters to desserts. Very generous portions.

Over the years, we have visited the Horse & Jockey on many occasions and always been impressed. However, our experience last night was very disappointing. We arrived early and ordered drinks from the bar. We were served by the unfriendliest, personality-less guy who couldn’t crack a smile. I celt sorry for another customer who tried to engage him in conversation about how long the pub had been there and the bar man just looked at him blankly and said he hadn't a clue. The menu was much smaller than it used to be, and there were no specials, as there used to be. The food was of a decent standard though.I do have a problem with the service, which was just terrible. We had a young man serve our table, who also appeared to have left his personality at home. We ordered chateaubriand and we have eaten half of it when he arrived with a bowl of peas. He put them on the table and said, these were left in the kitchen! After we had eaten we didn't then see another member of staff. No one came to ask if we wanted puddings or coffee. When i popped to the loo, I approached the bar and asked to speak to the manager. She was polite and offered to sort something out with the bill. I declined. We just wanted to settle up and leave by this point. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

We had dinner here. I have to say the food was outstanding coupled with top class service. The staff are so friendly. Thanks We visited for a second time so thought I'd add a second review to this. We walked in and were met by such friendly staff. At the table again most friendly staff and it's clear they all know their jobs very well. The food again was exemplary so also very apparent that the chef knows his job. I would highly recommend the Horse and Jockey to anyone. We won't hesitate to eat here again the next time we are in Atherstone. To all the staff you are doing a great job and Thanks again 🙂

Called for Sunday lunch which was absolutely lovely! Great food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Really good food. Nicely presented and delicious.

Very clean. Pleasant ambience. Good service.

Had lamb dinner. Plenty of veg, lovely Yorkshire. Lamb not that flavoursome. I would have like my meal hotter. Some things were hot ie roasties but lamb and veg more warm than hot. However I would go again.

Excellent stop for a bite or a good meal while biking on the countryside.

Really nice restaurant pub. Laid out in a very nice style. 4 stars on food? Maybe mine own fault, the rare fillet steak was very tasty but so rare it wasn't that warm. The crumble again was tasty but if you had teeth that didn't like hard crunchy bits be careful. Any other pub would give 5 stars but for the price would have expected that bit extra. Would I go back yes but would ask for the steak to be medium as opposed to the recommended cooking suggestion.

Quite probably the best Sunday lunch I have eaten when dining out. Nothing was to much bother, service excellent and the food was of the highest quality.

First visit and really enjoyed the evening. Staff were friendly and very helpful, service first class. Lovely food, well presented and of excellent quality. Throughly recommended.

Rude manager who blocks you from leaving reviews on Facebook page! Ordered a takeaway and the first time it was good. Second time was absolutely awful and completely different to the first time we ordered! Got a rude reply from the manager and then got blocked from being able to book a table to try again! (We live local) The standard of food we received the second time was worse than mc Donald’s! And then to receive a rude reply from management and to be blocked from Facebook after being ignored about my complaint for months is disgusting! Shows exactly what type of manager he is! Will not ever return and have showed lots of local people the photos of how bad the food was we received. So many other local. Friendly restaurants around. Do not recommend at all!

Excellent all round, top quality steak, new summer menu superb, all overseen by a first class manager, thank you Asha

We had dinner at the Horse & Jockey. The food and service were both very good. There is good parking and it's in a lovely country setting. The restaurant is nice but I only gave 4 out of 5 stars as our table was next to the kitchen swing door, which was annoying and detracted from what should have been a pleasant dinning experience. There were other empty tables so it was not necessary to use this table. Nice place. We would go back but make sure to avoid the table at the swing door.

I was introduced to this restaurant a year ago for a friends birthday. I’ve been many times since. Excellent cosy atmosphere and brilliant food.

Firstly I have to say our food was lovely however it was a hot day and there was nothing on the menu but what I would call comfort food. A choose of salad or a lighter menu would have been appreciated on an extremely hot day in a restaurant with no air con or fans.

Throughly enjoyable meal (again),party of nine all had a great time, thank you 10/10

Love this place. Fabulous service, cosy atmosphere. Food top notch! Dogs welcome in bar area (very comfortable) which is where we dined. Plenty of outdoor seating/picnic tables for sunny days. Great destination after a canal walk. Would absolutely recommend.

Fantastic food, atmosphere, and staff. Definitely worth a visit.

A bit pricey and food is just ok, but it's dog friendly.

Fabulous place will certainly be back.

The beer was very nice, but we were served by a silent bar man who spoke not a word throughout the entire transaction. I mean, I didn't expect a discussion on the merits after Aristotles' natural philosophy but just a polite "what would you like" would be nice. My pint was delayed, a bit of a fluffy pour. This was not communicated to me, so I stood like a lemon while he served someone else...again, in silence, before finishing mine and magically producing it just as I was about to throw caution to the wind and ask him where the hell it was. Nobody died, the beer was good but I felt like we were intruding.

Apologises for taking so long for writing this but just been a bit busy. I travel a bit with work and are always looking for a pub with good pub grub and it is safe to say I found it. Excellent cask ales with a good selection (not too sure about the lagers sorry) I had Tim Taylors Landlord which was most enjoyable but a chappie on the next table had a pint of something else and took it back which was changed without any trouble at all. The food was cooked fresh and was delicous and reasonably priced for the quality. We sat in the bar and service was good as there was a good number in the restaurant area as well but the staff were attentative but not over bearing. All in all it was that good I went back the following evening to taste one of the pies and was not disappointed at all. There was however on this particular evening a young member of staff folding napkins which although in the bar area was something I would prefer not to have watch whilst eating. All in all if you are passing get yourself in for a warm reception, good service, great food and beer at a fair price. I would suggest as I went through the week to call and book certainly at weekend as I believe the Sunday Lunch is well worth a try. Enjoy.
