Me and my partner usually use the Billesley for food but tonight I brought couple of friends out for some drinks, Great atmosphere… love football, Great drinks offers on too. Looks like they have some good entertainment coming up too

Went for a meal yesterday about 3.30pm a few people where eating meals not overly busy but there was only 1 member of staff behind the bar and the man that was bringing the meals out was in and out like a yo yo and he also helped out behind the bar when there were a few people waiting to get served he really got stuck in then went back to serving food but when our food arrived we where a bit disappointed as the chips were cold and there was an egg missing off the one plate, but the guy did bring it out about 5 minutes later but the portions of food on the plates where more like kiddies portions,so a bit of a let down this pub used to be a brilliant place to come for food but if its anything like yesterday I will give it a miss from now on

The idea of going out for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day was a new one for us. But when my husband suggested it, I thought…. Well why not? Good experiment. The food served was actually very good. We were greeted by Nicki who was lovely and very accommodating, very generous with the prosecco and the vibe was great. The snagging point was the timings. We were sat waiting for our starters for 45m which were relatively unimpressive on arrival. The dinner itself was beautiful, but luke warm. Overall, still totally worth it in terms of stress bypassed and energy saved but won’t be returning.

The Billesley, Hungry Horse pub/restaurant is our regular Friday Fish and Chip stop! We are never disappointed with our meal and to-day 19th April was no different, the fish was excellent and the chips were hot and fresh, in fact the manager came over to our table to take our empty plates away and we told him this is the only pub that sells hot and perfect chips, the fish is always good so there is no need to mention that. A big thank you to the staff and the manager for keeping up these high standards! I had better mention the drinks too and that was a large glass of white wine and a pint of Guinness which was just perfect with our meal. Once again Thank you.

Visiting this pub was a surreal experience. Drunken, possibly underage lad falling off a chair with the chair left on its back for an extended period. And none of his group righted the chair and a manager was left to do the deed. In one var there was a disco and assumed this was a party. Many looked underage so a good place for your 18th party or get together. Lots of swearing. But the pièce de résistance was the toilets. In the gents, the only pan was awful, a urinal was overflowing and a carton underneath to collect whatever was leaking from a pipe. A section of the floor by the urinals was flooded with urine. The ladies had blocked pans such that if you flushed the bowl would nearly overflow.

Me , my nan and brother , have recently visited the hungry horse in the bilsely recently. The table was ok , but the service left us appalled , when we ordered the food the staff informed us that it would be a 15 minute wait , however we had to wait 40 minutes. When we received the food , one of my courses were nachos and were meant to be hot , but we got them freezing cold and the staff had said that they would change it , leaving us to wait another 10 minutes.we then ordered dessert which was Apple crumble , we had to wait another 30 minutes for it to arrive when we got the food it was warm but tasted like out-of-date porridge. When we went home we where not feeling good me and my nan has diarrhoea . I will NEVER go there again

Staff were polite. Did not wait long for food to arrive. Food was hot and cooked according to everyone's preference, apart from the sauces which didn't come on the side as requested with the meals. They had run out of sweet potatoe fries and seasoned fries were recommended, avoid the seasoned fries as they just throw some sort of seasoning powder over regular fries which really does nothing to add flavour to the taste, but that's just my opinion. The outside was clean and there is an outdoor play area for the kids. I would rate my visit as being a little better than average more good but not very good. Opt for their main meals deals and offers as it keeps the cost down and you won't be disappointed when you get a small portion of what you've ordered, in particular the sides that accompany your main. They don't have offers on desserts and what they do have isn't to everyone's taste. My visit was on a weekday early afternoon, so the pub was not busy or full, please bear this in mind. Overall cleanliness inside ok.

Had a £5 voucher so took advantage of its. Whatever way you look at it the hungry horse brand is popular with families. Upon ordering was told my food would be a 45 minute wait, which was fine as wasn’t in a rush and appreciate how busy it is. Ordered the beef and ale pie with mash and peas. Come out within 25 minutes so even better. Food was piping hot ok the mash looked like it was microwaveable but the pie made up for it was very crusty and lot of beef in filled me. Staff seem polite so in short will visit again and thank you for a lovely meal

I have always seen this pub but never have been inside as I expected it to be atypical of the usual family friendly food chains.!Visited on Thursday just to kill some time as we were between our children's nap times! Upon entering firstly I was impressed by the large warm and welcoming atmosphere this pub offers, the cleanliness and facilities for children are exceptional.Tempted by our surroundings we decided to take a peek at the menu and was instantly overwhelmed by the fantastic offers available. We ordered two mains for £7.99 which was fantastic value. We enjoyed ourselves we then ended up ordering desserts which once again was exceptional and amazing value - worth a visit just for that!The bar staff and the manager were super friendly and were so helpful, the booths also has televisions embedded with CBeebies on which was amazing for keeping my little one entertained while we ate, I also thought this was a lovely touch and not seen this in a restaurant before.The only reason why this review falls short of the full 5 is because of one staff member who I found to be particularly rude and unhelpful, she was exiting the ladies toilet as I went to change my child's nappy. Out of politeness people tend to hold doors open however she simply waited for me to step aside and then walked past me, I then struggled to get into the closing door the toilet with my baby in one hand and all the changing equipment in my other hand. With a clear objective of changing a nappy I went in only to find no changing table? I left and the same staff member was now clearing plates - I asked did they have change facilities she simply said "down there". I found this to be really rude and put a dampener on what had been a lovely day. Considering that to use the facilities required a key which is kept behind the bar, the rude staff member failed to inform me me of this due to her poor attitude.Would visit again and if I see this staff member with the same attitude I will be complaining to management.Good spot for meeting with friends for quick bites with the kids, plenty of high chairs, kids food choices and an outdoor play area if the weather is nice.

Well it still irritates me that the run of the mill pub I.E. Hungry horse cannot and will not make a fresh burger. I feel the cow that made my burger had perished some time ago and had been cooked from frozen. Dry and tough lacking in any moisture not a drop of oil and it was the first time I wished for grease just to help the bungled monstrosity that I consumed reach my stomach without causing me problems. I wasn't that fortunate overall I would avoid the burgers as If my life depended on it. Also I must point out that my fellows Diners food also was dull and depressing. The death of British pubs is reaching a horid climax.

Having been here on many occasions and had no complaints apart from children running round which is down to their parents, on this occasion we arrived at 4pm to be told there was a 20 min wait for a table for 2 which was fine but looking around the pub there were tables waiting to be cleared which was contributing to the wait. In all fairness we only waited the stated time and was shown to a table which seated 6 people, it was a table for 4 and a table for 2 pushed together so it would have made sense to separate the tables so someone else could have been seated instead of which we occupied a table for 6 when there was only 2 of us. Although we enjoyed the food most of the veg pots were nearly empty and the condements needed to be filled up. The young ladies on the door were very pleasant and polite but in our opinion it needs maitre d . whilst we were waiting we saw at least 20 people come in and when told of the wait they just walked straight back out so business was lost .Don't think we will be eating here again as over time since first opening we noticed a considerable decline in what was a pleasant pub.

While the food was actually really nice it was the slow service and missing items that really let them down. The food took over an hour to come out and when it did it came out in sections where only a couple of people had good at one time, which meant that some was finishing their meals as others was just starting. Also one of the side orders that was made never turned up..

Went here to have a Carvery and a drink. Chef serving was friendly enough but when I asked for the sauces to be topped up the Chef shook their head at me! At first I thought they were joking but I soon realised they weren't as they told me to 'find a waitress as it's their job to fill them'....so there I am standing with my plate of food going cold, holding an empty bowl of sauce whilst scanning the place for a waitress. The Chef then said that they would fill the sauce bowl for me. When she came out with the sauce she did apologise. So why cause all this negative feeling if they were going to do it anyway. Bearing in mind this was done in front of other customers. I work myself in a pub and it doesn't matter if a Customer asks the Chef or Waiter to fill the sauces....we just do it! Also the pints we were served although tasted ok were actually completely 'headless' due to the Bar staff overfilling the glass causing the 'froth' to spill into the drip tray. I didn't mention this as the girl looked as though she was slightly overwhelmed being on the bar mostly on her own.

It was Friday and the 'Big Plate Special' fish and chips was just £6. I always like a deal, so that's what I chose. The pint of Abbot Ale was the perfect accompaniment too. I expected an average meal - it's just a Hungry Horse, after all. When it arrived, however, the jumbo cod was perfect in every way, and I always give praise where it's due!

Arrived for a Great Carvery at this lovely venue.. Sat down where we wanted and checked the Menu .. Ok, up to Order and Pay .. 2 Carvery please , response, sorry only Turkey in stock!! not good for a Carvery. Ok, I'll have a Carlsberg and 2 Cokes, response, sorry no Carlsberg .. off to sit down and think about going somewhere else .. nope, decided to have 20oz steak, 1ft long hot dog and kids Nugget meal .. went up, ordered no issues mentioned, got the drinks in and sat down to wait. Meals arrived, Steak cooked good, Kids nuggets perfect but how can you have a 1ft long hot dog with no onions (advertised as tasty and on it) .. asked the Waitress, response, Oh sorry, We're out of stock of onions !!! DO WHAT?? No Onions in a restaurant of this calibre? Ate the meals and left .. no offer of recompense or explanation as to why there were no notifications on the Boards/Tables or even as we walked in Someone could've told us! Not going to return without phoning and checking on stock in advance and also checking a Toby Carvery locally... totally out of character with this venue where we've had great service and food before

We went to the billsley hungry horse after having an afternoon at the panto. Within the family dinning area there was initially no tables free (although no one was sitting on them all tables reserved) - having spoken to the lady who was sitting customers down this was done to make space for 'on spec' customers. Food ordered and service was big 'sharp'. Was unable to swap the sausages on the all day breakfast for another egg. Children's food was a good size portion 'just right' and enough for them - Carvery was lovely and plenty of choice. Good service at the table from the desert lady. Disappointed children didn't get small know and fork - was only told after had eaten that you have to ask! Ladies Toilets need a bit of 'care' no locks worked and the toilets flushing in 1 would make gurgling noise in another ! Overall nice food - good to take children as they have play area both inside and out.

Food is just basic microwave meals and the carvery is not recommended due to poor variety available and tastes way too dry due to being left under the hotplates too long. Staff seem to lack basic training and manors which is not surprising considering how rude the restraunte managers are.

Visited today with a party of 13 friends and family.the pub was packed on arrival but this never altered the standard of service or food we received! Children had food served first and adults followed straight after.service was excellent and staff more than helpful and the food was fantastic and enjoyed by all! Highly recommend and we shall be back next Sunday for another Xmas lunch after a day out with the children

We came here tonight for a meal because the other place we choose was fully booked and we ordered a chicken burger double! And it was so over cooked I couldn't swallow it! Was so dry, no mayo or ketchup on offer had to go bar and ask but my husband and son in law had the naan bread chicken tikka, was described on menu as chicken tikka pieces with onion bajies, mango salsa, fresh corianda on a massive fresh naan !! With mint yoghurt. It was a microwave naan with a sauce that was like ketchup with strands of chicken and few extremely dry balls of dough ! Almost to dry to swallow and a £10 each was awful was ment to come with a mountain of chips ! Came with a side of oven chips that was not cooked. I was waiting for someone to check everything was ok with our meal nobody did a check back!!! It was so bad we didn't eat anything we put it in my bag for our dogs ! So overall staff awful food absolutely terrible and it cost us £45 for a load of extremely dry food with no check backs from staff ! If u wanna eat here bring a bottle of water to get it down!!! Nasty don't eat there!!

I went for family meal with my children to this pub never again on entering it states please wait to be seated yet no staff around at all then upon finding a table we went to lay area they had for children which in all fairness was ok but then the to on wall for them wasn't switched on so upon choosing are food going to bar to try an order there was 4 people in front an yes just ONE staff on when I asked "are you only serving" yes was reply yet the manager thought plodding her dairy on bar was more important then serving your customers!!! So we all had to wait and wait !! Then no cutlery was bought to are table I had to ask and ask for it!! Then upon going to obtain carvery I was left standing there as there was no staff serving I had to again go walk to bar area to ask for service, then I go to ladies toilets no toilet roll in three toilets apart from one no hand soap in deepensers apart from one!!! I finally sit to eat to my food had to ask for others food as whole reason you go out to eat together!! Go to bar for another drink another wait still no staff!! I then go into baby change where the toilet in their was a disgusting state!!! I seriously think some deligation from senior management needs to take place I will never return to the place first and last time !!!

I take my elderly mother here nearly every weekend. I find the staff are very helpful and friendly. I'm yet to have a bad meal here and I go that often I've nearly eaten the whole menu!! The pub has recently changed hands. The new landlady is helpful, there was a party of seven of us the other week and she moved chairs e.t.c. so we could all sit together. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone.

Food was great however there was quite a lot of parents allowing their children to run around with no shirts disturbing other family's as we'll. However the place was great just the individuals.

When visiting here we ate our meal and then ordered a desert, when the deserts arrived a blonde girl gave some of the deserts but didn't take the food plates away, so they where taking the majority of the room on the table which was inconvenient, she also had an inpolite tone to her voice which wasn't appreciated. The deserts where nice but the service was not.

Visited with a large group of people on december 27th 2014 . Firstly went to the bar and got a picher of cocktail . Got this back to the table only to discover there was a hole in the bottom of the jug so the drink was going all over the place. Took it back to the bar and they gave us the ammount of cocktail that we should have in glassess. When we was getting the cocktail they said the picher is only half a jug i had the same one at another hungry horse and had a full jug . Next people on my table had cavery the meat was tough and horrible - this did get dealt with by them having replacments . Lastly there was a draft of cold air . From somewere honestly i have seen better hungry horses and had better service.

So unhappy with management...I went to new years eve.with my 2 grandchildren..I go to this pub quite regular,,..I got tickets which was £5.00 each,this was for the children too.so cost £20,00 ..The bands and music was at one side of the pub.that was ok but the side we was sitting had no entertainment so I ask if they could at least put some music on on as it was like a normal day and we didn't feel like we was apart of new year celebrations,and all I got was very bad attitude and was told I was paying for McMillian cancer and what was the problem,and the only thing she could do was not to allow children in again ...I don't mind paying for any charity in fact im quite happy about this but she walked off before I could answer, Other members of staff was embarrassed and said sorry but they could not put music on as there sound system was not up to it..I will never set foot in this pub again...infact other familys that heard the conversation was also disgusted how she spoke to me and a family of six walked out and we all said the same ,we wont be going back..

For the money you pay you will get a good quality meal at a very reasonable price. A very substantial menu, with a lot of choice and very good price drinks
