I have been here loads of times. But recently the service and food quality has gone downhill dramatically!! On my last visit I heard loud music and swearing from the kitchen, the place seemed un organised & a male member of staff stood talking and ignoring customers. I won’t be returning

Went for their Dine and Dance today had a brilliant time it was well organized from seating us to reminding some of us what we had actually ordered, food was good, service excellent, and the singer they had was really good too, sang the songs that I and the other diners enjoyed.

I had a great experience overall, and the staff were excellent—friendly and attentive. However, it was unfair for one lady to run the entire bar by herself. She did an admirable job, but having additional bar staff would have made the service smoother and taken some of the pressure off her.

We are regulars for meals at the Tall Chimney although we just call it the Hungry Horse. 🐴 Today was a typical visit for food as part of our fortnightly "big shop" as Peter Kay calls it. In the main the food is consistent, in terms of quality and ingredients. Some licence to vary the plating by the different duty chefs means quantities can vary for side orders, however, where one finds a particularly stingy portion, quick request to a member of the staff always corrects matters. 👍😊 Today we were served by Michelle, who although retired from managing the facility, still works part time. She enjoys meeting the regulars and the comradery amongst the staff. Michelle looked after us well and I think her positive presence and experience rubs off on the other staff. A pleasant experience set us up for shopping. I can thoroughly recommend The Tall Chimney as a great venue to chill out with a drink, watching sport on the big screens or having a nice economical family meal out. See you again soon... 👍👍😊

It was meant to be a nice evening out with a friend but the staff were miserable non of them smiled at all not even when taking orders there was also plates and glasses left on loads of tables. We had starters and a lady had just put them OK the table didn't ask whose was whose didn't even smile then half way through starters our main meals came out. The food was lovely so were the drinks but the staff could have done a lot better to make our evening nicer. I work in hospitality myself and i was shocked

I would like to say what a valuable asset James is to your team. He went out of his way to help us with the menu and actually used a cocktail stirrer to stir my lime and soda. I know that sounds trivial, but, not many bar staff even bother these days. Attention to detail and a pleasant smile go a long way. Well done James! 👏

This is our regular pub for eating out daytimes, and there's a reason it's our regular: the food is delicious and well prepared; the staff are so friendly and helpful; facilities are always clean and tidy. If you like entertainment, they regularly host quizzes, football matches, music nights. They always appreciate and act on feedback. For example, we recently had breakfast and the butter was so cold it was hard to spread... We mentioned it offhandedly and the next time we went for breakfast... Michelle remembered it and took the butter out early. Such a small thing, but made a huge difference! It made us feel really valued and guaranteed our future business. Michelle is always friendly and nothing is too much trouble for her :) Thank you everyone! See you again soon :)

Visited here for a meal on Wednesday 10th January around 6pm. The service was very slow and as for the food it was stone cold. The toilets they were dirty and the floor wet. I visited here in 2019 for Sunday lunch and it was amazing so whilst I was passing on Wednesday I thought I would try it again, but now will not return. I believe this is a Greene King pub and it’s not the first bad experience I have had in one of there establishments.

Well I came on Halloween with my 2 children and to much of my surprise the staff were all dressed up! I think this was just the spirit we needed for the children especially with all that’s going on at the moment and I truly believe that the tall chimney and it’s staff are all about the customer service and making your experience as pleasant and Covid safe as possible, I will definitely be returning not only because of the amazing staff but the prices are really good too as well as this I found out (the staff explained) that they have daily deals on including a bogof burger Friday and kids eat for £1 on a Monday, the staff also explained about their Christmas bookings as well as a festive party and many other things we can and will now book for, from what I can tell the staff take a lot of pride in what they do and I’m sure they will put their all into christmas, such a shame I didn’t get all their names but shoutout to all the staff dressing up and bringing a bit of positive spirit back into the pandemic!!!!

I was ordering on the app but my friend had a blue light card and it wouldn't accept on the app so he took our order and then my friend had to go to the bar to pay. Everytime he walked past us he was asking if we was ok and if we needed anything. He made the whole experience seem as normal as it could be.

I came here today for lunch my friend told me it was safe at the Tall Chimney as I have been very reluctant to go out to eat. We were met at the door and asked to give our details for track and trace. The lady helped us as I had no idea what to do. we were told to order from my phone app, which luckily my son had put on my phone for me.I was really happy with how this place made me feel. I did feel safe, I had Fish and chips which were nice. My friend had lasagne. Thank you so much for making me feel safe. I will come back

Covid procedures spot on , great food and service . What’s not to like. From the minute you walk in the door and out of the signposted exit you feel safe .This is a pub that has got a superb system in place that you would expect and without it being awkward you feel comfortable .The staff are attentive and hard working .Zoe and Oscar especially deserve a mention. We had two tables with four people on each . They brought drinks , breakfasts and all requests dealt with quickly without fail .The food was hot , fresh and tasty so credit to the kitchen staff as well who never get seen .Obviously serving tables has changed in recent months but The Tall Chimney and it’s staff have mastered the changes needed and embraced them .We spoke to the Manageress after our breakfast and complimented her on her staff. She explained the procedure for future bookings with the new regulations coming in again .All in all a great visit , great food with great service. Many thanks.

Brought my girls in for lunch was really nice. We were seated quickly and I ordered on the app. The staff were more than helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We ordered a steak sizzler, halloumi fingers and a bacon and cheese burger which were excellent. I love a rare steak and on the sizzler plate it was perfect. Nice and juicy. The meals came nice and hot and quickly. Oscar and zoe were excellent and attentive. Michelle and deni running everything so well can't fault it. The pub on the whole is very well equipped for keeping us all safe so we can enjoy meals out. Will definitely be back, keep up the good work tall chimney. The best around here for sure.

Great pub food as always and amazing service from staff, out of all the places we’ve been too since Covid has happened this is by far the most safest place you could dine, all staff wearing visors, app too order drinks and food and lots of space between tables so if your a nervous diner through these tricky times then this is definitely a place you can come to and feel safe, oh forgot to say even have paper menus that are thrown and recycled after use well done to all at tall chimney

Great food and very attentive service in this small-town pub. You took great care of us when we visited. Very convenient to Breedon Hall across the street.

The Priest House has so much potential. Its location is lovely, situated by a river and the buildings are lovely. However, this is a very tired hotel, both inside and out. The exterior paint is peeling, the outdoor communal areas around The Cottage where we stayed were so dirty and unkempt and the exterior of this building was grubby too. The room was at least clean and plenty roomy, but the radiator was on full blast and it was a 23° sunny day. It couldn’t be turned down or off. The service in the restaurant was very slow and the food overpriced for the tiny portions. The constant drone all night of the aircraft flying into East Midlands airport was very noisy. It’s all a bit of a shame, as this place has bags of potential. Sadly, we wouldn’t come back again.

Absolutely amazing food, and lovely staff. We came a couple of weeks ago and decided to come again with family we enjoyed it so much. What we didn't appreciate, was them adding a cover of 8 people, which adds a service charge, (we had a party of 4, at a table for 6). Had they not been sneaky and tried to add it WITHOUT telling us, we were more than happy to tip for fantastic service and food. We questioned and it got removed

We had a festive catchup with friends on 16th December. Lovely time. Chris looked after us so well, perfect host and everything was lovely. Brunch was delicious, recommend the open sandwiches. We look forward to visiting again with friends. All the best with the refurb and heres to XII being a huge success. Merry Christmas 🎄
