Kings arms in North West Leicestershire

Myself and my husband had the Sunday Carvery and I can honestly say it was amazing - the cauliflower cheese was the best I’ve ever had!! Highly recommended

Had Sunday carvery excellent meal going again next sunday Perfect meal, fantastic staff, all very helpful and friendly

Omg just got to try a sample of the soup for tomorrow 16/06/2024 it was amazing all fresh ingredients you should do a take out service I would take a gallon home for my tea under new management keep up the good work I will definitely be coming back for more, already booked a table for next weekend to try the famous kings arms carvery.

UNDER GREAT NEW MANAGEMENT! Been in many times for drinks for the last couple of years. Unfortunately it went through short rough period this year where standard's had declined rapidly but thankfully its all restored to its former glory. Lovely warm friendly team and locals, worth a trip for sure. Recently had a Sunday carvery on their first day as new owners. Had 2 out of 3 meats which were cooked well, veg, superb cauli cheese and 2 freshly cooked yorkies too. Has a lovely big garden with superb views, bouncy castle, log burner, pool, jukebox, TV's but not overbearing. If you've ever been here at it's lowest point, it is well worth another visit as you will not be disappointed this time. If never been, you're missing out. Highly recommended this charming pub. Cheers!

The staff were pleasant and friendly, however we went for Sunday carvery the meat was ok but the vegetables were lukewarm and covered with silver foil when we arrived due to no one else being in to eat possibly? We arrived just before 13:00.

The King's Arms in Coleorton has started serving food and their Sunday Carvery was delicious. There is a warm friendly atmosphere with a log burner, good background music and attentive staff who could ask for more on a cold Sunday afternoon.

We booked in for a lovely and very tasty Sunday Carvery 12/07/20. Nicely presented and it went down a treat. The pub is very clean and has got plenty of character. Hosted by very welcoming and friendly staff. A return is on the cards 👍🏻

As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted with a very friendly welcome. The staff were really helpful and polite and nothing was too much trouble. The carvery was the highlight, all fresh homemade food with plenty of choice and every kind of sauce you could wish for. If you want a reasonably priced home cooked meal the Kings Arms will not disappoint.

The pub is very local to us and this is maybe the 6th time we have eaten there in the last few months. As always the food was great. Sadly on this occasion and all the rest we have been the only people eating there. The pub has a history of not being run well and is - being totally honest - not the kind of place you would go to for a quiet evening. If however you walk through the rowdy bar into the restaurant area you will be guaranteed great service and great food at stupidly low prices. The food photographed was last night’s dinner £12 for both dishes!!! Chef is fabulous, so accommodating and friendly. The beers include San Miguel and Estrella plus traditional ales. There are chairs next to a fireplace which is cosy (bar area). We wish the new landlady and her excellent chef every success which they are striving hard to achieve.

I would like to say that the evening was second to none. The staff were amazing from my first call about the booking to emails about food, setting up the room and attentiveness on the night. They couldn’t have done any more! The food was ready and hot on time with no errors on the order and was delivered quickly and efficiently by lovely friendly staff. It was delicious! I had pre-ordered starters and mains from a menu specially created for our party and we were able to order desserts on the evening - although most of us were too full! I asked if I could bring the cake early and set up decorations which they were very happy about and they brought the cake out as pre-arranged at the right time during the night without prompting. It was a superb evening made very easy and special by a great team at the restaurant. I highly recommend going to see for yourself!

This is our favourite go to place for a beautiful carvery just like your mum use to do . Take my word for it, we love it . Well done to Graham and the team

I visited with 4 friends for sunday lunch today on a recommendation, and I'm so glad we came here. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. We stayed for a couple of hours with drinks, no problem at all. We paid £10 each for the dinner and a drink and I dont think you can grumble. All of the food was lovely but the gravy especially was very good. The beef was well cooked and all of the trimmings were done really well. It was really excellent!

Party of twelve of us went for Sunday lunch. The food was good value, good quality and cooked to perfection. Will definitely visit again!

I went to the Kings Arms this after noon for a carvery, the food is amazing however i was waiting at the bar for 10 minutes whilst staff were talking and when they did notice us a guy told us that he only had enough food for who was booked in and they only take bookings now no walk ins! appalling service, i would liked to have been informed either through the facebook page or the website, i was a regular customer.

Wow what can I say !! The Sunday lunch is amazing We visited with a large group of friends and the service was really good . A really good choice of vegetables and the meat is cooked to perfection. The staff are friendly and nothing is to much trouble. Watch out on the face book page because a lot of Sundays children eat free !! Definitely be returning Thankyou , can’t wait to try out the week menu.

Have visited a number of times for a drink and lunch. A fantastic open pub garden, with good food n drink. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit

The kings arms has a simple menu but the food was really well cooked, well presented and excellent value for money. Staff were extremely professional and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The only downside was that surprisingly, we were alone! Come on people you don’t know what you’re missing!

Two excellent meals and drinks for under £30! Couldn't believe it when we saw the bill and we thought they'd missed one of our main meals off by accident. I had Hunters chicken and my partner had a rib eye steak. Both were cooked beautifully and came with chips and all the trimmings. The service was attentive and friendly. What more can you ask for?

Arrived 12.30 and the place was not open - not much use is it? According to their website Facebook entry and What pub entry it should have been

Not the best, it was edible, but beef was a little stringy, vegetables where Luke warm at best, others in the group where happier than I was, so maybe it was me, having said all of that the surroundings where very nice and the staff pleasant and attentative

A family of seven all very well looked after by really attentive and pleasant staff. The food was faultless with a particularly tasty rocky road cheesecake to finish.

Made a booking for a small party to eat out at lunchtime. Got email confirmation including arrangements for a vegetarian. We all arrived on the day to be told the booking had been cancelled - but no-one had let us know!! All agreed we would NOT be back.

Fabulous Sunday Lunch, with the best variety of vegetables I’ve ever had. We tried the Tapas night, which was very nice and different. Staff very friendly and good service. Thanks to you all.

Just had a lovely meal. We started with a sharing starter of baked camembert which was flavoursome and very gooey. Then a rib eye steak which was so tender and perfectly cooked. This was accompanied by the usual trimmings but I have to mention the onion rings which were so fresh and crispy.

Just stopped in for Sunday carvery, fantastic food and very cheery helpful service! Highly recommend, the food is amazing and all freshly cooked to perfection

Called in one weekday lunchtime for a bite whilst on our way to Centreparcs. Good reviews on Tripadvisor led us there... I would guess they would be for evening visits as you had the distinct impression they were surprised to see us and whilst they did their best (although we seemed to have to wait a long time considering there was only one other couple in..... Maybe they had to get the chef out of bed?) It wasn't brilliant food, but satisfying all the same. Good beer, very friendly staff and pleasant ambience. Conclusion.. Probably much better when busier and in the evenings.

Great beer, great friendly service,nice and warm and the tapas was delightful. Highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely fantastic, food & service was impeccable and we will certainly be visiting again! Made us feel very welcome and we left extremely happy. Our waitress was lovely and we could of chatted away all evening 😊

Booked in here last minute,we both had 8oz steak med/rare cooked to perfection served by a very friendly lady who was also working the bar but still managed to give us good service the steak was accompanied with homemade onion rings and 3xcooked rustic chips peas Tom and side salad and followed up with choc fudge cake and cream presented excellent, and to top it there was a female vocalists on (very good singer) overall excellent night well done kings arms.

A lovely selection of about 15 different Tapas dishes on offer the evening of pur visit. A real international selection from cod goujons to Thai curry and Spanish chicken. Our 6 dishes were delicious. I'd really recommend the belly pork cooked in honey and the halloumi cheese.

We were on our way to an 80’s 90’s weekend in a nearby farm and decided to meet here first for a meal. We arrived about 4:30pm to be told the food didn’t start until 5pm, we had a couple of drinks whilst waiting! The staff and other customers were lovely with us, we were all dressed in camouflage gear as part of our fancy dress weekend, customers and staff were very friendly asking us lots of questions and wishing us well for the weekend!

Arrived and was greeted by a lovely lady who hadn’t got us booked in . The previous owner had confirmed booking by email and the pub enquiry form ( only 2 days before ) but

I brought a Groupon for here and tried to redeem it several times. When I rang a woman answered very rude and abrupt so it put me off instantly wanting to go but then I thought no iv paid for it im going . I then tried to book for a Wednesday lunch to be informed the kitchen isn't open on a Wednesday if this is the case update your fibe print on Groupon as this is false advertising . I then rang again booked a table for a Tuesday lunch 12 o clock to turn up there for the pub to be closed we waited until 12.20 for it to still not open . At this point I'd had enough so contacted Groupon who were very helpful. I even sent an email to the pub about my Groupon to receive no reply . Luckily I have had a full refund. I would not recommend this place especially the things I have seen on social media to absolutely disgusting .

Food was Ok. Don’t have too high expectations and you will not be disappointed. It’s an old Country pub and they are trying their best.. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to go back, I’m not knocking the place to much as we did have a large Carvery on a very hot June day. Everyone was hot and flustered. I’ve given it a low rating because they had run out of most cold soft drinks, the Carvery plates were not clean and when point out the guy was grumpy. We’re paid the same for better elsewhere.

Been tonight for a meal and it was absolutely gorgeous, we both had sirloin steak and they were both cooked perfect. Staff very friendly, couldn’t fault a thing. Even booked to go again

Ive been here a few times for food . Curry night are superb and sunday lunch is ace . Nice friendly staff, always something going on. Brill . Keep up the good work guys !!!!

Beautiful! What can I say came in for curry night bank holiday Monday, lots of choice, something for everyone I found! Staff were very friendly and accommodating would definitely recommend! Will be back to try Mexican night on a Thursday..

Came here today on Bank Holiday Sunday. Scruffy outdoor area and inside not much better. Beautiful hot day and £3.50 for a warm bottle of beer. Go elsewhere!

We visited this weekend after reading the latest posts on facebook. We came here in January and the service was awful, 1 star rating and rude management. We decide to give it another try after reading on Facebook that it was under new management. NOT TRUE!!!! there may be different staff but the management are still the same. We will never return. The food was awful, the attitude of the staff was appalling and the place was generally run down.

We visited today for Sunday lunch. £8.95 really good value. Choice of 3 meats and a good choice of vegetables. We ate lunch in the pub and then had a relaxing drink in the beer garden. Would highly recommend this pub for a lovely meal.

Been the kings arms numerous occasions now with my partner and the kids always a friendly service and always nice food would deffo recomend the carvery 5*

Great family friendly pub friendly staff lovely food and probably the best Sunday carvery I've ever had. Spot on 👍

Came here for a carvery on Sunday, can not fault it in anyway. Wide variety of vegetables to compliment the juicy meats! Definitely recommend and definitely will be back. Staff are friendly and happy to help in any way, the chefs always greet you with a smile! Good job guys, keep it up!

Me and my wife called in for Sunday lunch.it was a 1st class carvery.there was a great choice of 3 meats and plenty of veg to choose from.we will be back

Just have an amazing meal by the new chef, great menu and very friendly, don’t be put off by ex employees bad comments trying to tarnish the pub! We will be returning very soon

Visited the kings arms at the weekend for a relaxing meal for 2, which had been booked 5 days before....

Poor food , we arrived at 19.30 after enquiring what time they served till the week before to be told...

Went for a Sunday carvery at 2pm and had to wait 30 mins while they supposedly restocked the vegetables. When we finally got to go up there were no Yorkshire puddings left And some of the vegetable dishes were still empty. The food was tasty but due to the inability to manage a service we will not be going back.

Booked table for husbands birthday for 2nd Feb 2018. Expressed interest in large steak on the phone as seen photos on Facebook. Restaurant small but pleasant, however very cold. We chose our food and ordered at the bar, we asked if they did any other sauce other than pepper with the steak to be told. "I don't know I don't work in the kitchen" we left it at that as staff did not seem to know what she was doing. 5mins after placing order staff came to our table and told us they were out of the 24oz cowboy steak, what else did I want. So I ordered the 32oz instead. Again 5mins later staff came back to table and told us there were no steaks left other than 1 32oz that we apparently pre ordered on the phone. I told them we were not asked to pre order which she replied "well I don't know you could share or order something else, but nothing with steak on not even mixed grill as we have no steaks at all" found this odd as at 2pm that day they had updated Facebook with a post to say "big steak night tonight get a table" so anyway I changed my order to fish and chips. At this point we are now the only table in the restaurant so did not expect a long wait and was not advised of a long wait 45mins later we ask where our food is. Staff again "I don't know" I told her to go and find out. Was told "another 10 mins as the steak is so large it takes an hour to cook" (we ordered it medium) we waited another 15mins no sign of our food, no update or interest from the staff so went to the bar paid for our drinks and left.

The kings arms is a village pub with a rather good restaurant all the food is fresh nothing frozen the whole place is friendly from the bar to the kitchen the chef will wander round have a conversation (quiet times ) and make sure everything is to your likening

Went for Sunday lunch great assortment to the veg except the smash instead of real potatoes. Roast pork was delicious but beef was so tough what also didn't help was the knives were so blunt. Think there should also be more than one dessert. Drinks were great lovely lady behind bar but didn't really have any waiting staff as such nobody cleared our plates away so we had to ask. It's a real shame as obviously loads of things have been put in place to increase business of which we wish the landlord loads of luck maybe just look at the quality rather than the quantity.

called in for food and the service was really slow.The staff weren't to helpful and when we asked why the service was this slow they were quite rude and made a joke..When our food arrived it was totally over cooked and very chewy and did not taste very nice at all.The cutlery we was given the first time was filthy and we swapped them our-self and the clean ones still had water marks on well that's what we were told. So while we was in there we googled the food rating on the northwest leicestershire site and were so shocked to find that they only have a 1 star food rating and stating major improvement necessary.We certainly won't be returning as we don't usually eat in establishments with such a low rating that covers food prep and cleanliness.So please always check ratings before you eat as we won't make the same mistake as we mostly check beforehand.

Five of us called in for a beer after a Christmas walk. Excellent real ales and we were even provided with free cheese and biscuits by the landlord.

Really good carvery indeed. You can tell when meat is of quality. Potatoes were just perfectly cooked and all vegetables were fresh too. Deserts a bit pricey compared to what you pay for your meal. Will come back soon.

Great food , superbly cooked , great beer, great place highly recommend to anyone wanting a fantastic meal

1st visit here. Booked quite last minute for 8 people. Very accommodating. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival. The food was really good, great choice and variety. Will definitely be returning excellant value.

Stopped by on a freezing snowy night and was welcomed by great staff, fabulous curry and warm fire! Heaven!

Myself and my husband could not recommend this place enough, we had our wedding meal here and it was so relaxing and cosy. The food was fantastic, very tasty and I cannot thank Claire enough for all she did for us, if your having a small do, then this place is perfect. Thank you

Just been to the Kings arms and had one of the best carveries I have ever had and it was only £5.95 !!! And even better 5 real ales on tap and all kept to perfection. I know had one of each !!. New owners are lovely people . Will be returning soon.

Great village pub with a lovely feel to it, one of our favourite places to relax with a nice drink. The interior is furnished to a very high standard and the garden is really great especially in the summer when it's in full bloom. No expense spared on the decor and Nigel certainly goes 'all out' in welcoming you. BUT...The Sunday Carvery used to be excellent, now with the new 'team' the veg is overcooked and tasteless and the roast potatoes sit in an inch of oil. However, the meat was of a good quality, was well cooked and very tender. We arrived at 2.45pm to be told by the lady behind the bar that the restaurant was full and there was only one table available in the corner of the Bar by the Pool table. It transpired that the lady didn't want to reset the tables in the restaurant again as it was empty except for 2 tables!It is such a shame as this pub has the makings of being fabulous but is being let down by the food and the frosty reception we received upon arrival. We will return for drinks and the wonderful hospitality from Nigel and Sue but will think twice about the Sunday Carvery. This review is based purely upon the restaurant/food element and the service received by the new team and has no bearing on the Bar or Landlord.

Was informed they had New staff, so booked a table for Sunday lunch, was not disappointed, my wife had the pork and I had the beef , both were cooked perfect for us. Well done to all at the kings arms, we will return, ( they do a very good pint of Guinness).

Have new chef apparently could have cooked better myself. Fish batter was over cooked, steak I asked for rare & it was more medium & cold. To much food on the plate. We did comment when we paid, first time there and won’t return. The plates were cold so your food was cold. Disappointed to see laminated limited menus with no specials . Far better places in the area

Table of seven for Sunday lunch, good carvery nice roast beef and pork a good value meal and plenty of choice, friendly staff, lovely village pub

The pub has a lovely garden and as it was sunny we took full advantage of it. The staff brought a highchair out for our toddler and we had a delicious lunch. (We've never had bad food here!)

Well I have been looking for a pub to call my local and I’ve found it. Great food, great atmosphere, Nigel and the staff very welcoming. Superb place.

Booked in for my daughter's birthday one Saturday night, there were eight of us. Really looking for a good night out and a get together with friends. Arrived at the pub to be told that they hadn't got a chef. Someone should have rang to tell me and didn't. Where else are you expected to get in at that short notice on a Saturday night with eight people. Not impressed.

1st visit to Sunday Carvery and very happy with meal and service provided. Great value for money. Large portions and good selection of starters and desserts. Will recommend this place for works Xmas lunch to colleagues as they are very fussy.

Lovely little pub, very welcoming, cosy bar/lounge area, good selection of drinks. Also had food here previously and that's to a very good standard.

My wife and I live nearby and call in from time to time we find Thursday evening (pie night) very good, excellent service and the food always hot and tasty.

Went for eve meal food was ok but not stunning....service ok but the waitress was also working the bar ...not very clean place ..toilets could do with a bit of a clean

I can honestly say in your prime your food is amazing I have been for a carvery there a few times and found this particular one on the 6th august pretty poor lumpy mash, watery gravy, fatty pork hardly any meat on the plate (I was surprised he served that) in hind sight I probably should of said but the poor lad looked rushed off his feet. The service from the waitresses were brilliant, always has been. However I am unsure of coming back now due to food on this occasion.

A nice pub and good pint! However dissappointed by the food, we went for pie night. Booked in at 5.30 but food was not ready till gone 6pm (was not told this when booking) the steak in the pie was tough and didn't appear to have been cooked in the gravy as it was also dry. The roast potatoes were as white as boiled potatoes and had an odd taste/smell. The biggest disappointment was the chef smelt so strongly of cigarettes! Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Had a lovely lunch in this newly refurbished pub. Friendly staff and very good service. The whitebait was delicious. The chef came and spoke to us and explained that everything is cooked freshly. And it tasted fresh too.

We looked at TripAdvisor as we did not know the area and this place came highly rated.On arrival we asked if they had room for us to dine and was told yes by a very friendly owner. We had a nice drink at the bar and then asked if we could go through to the dining area and was told yes go through. We went through and seated our selves down and then asked for the menu, A few minutes later the chef came in and said this is what I can give you tonight Chicken Curry, Vegetable Lasagne or Scampi and chips. There was no mention of a starter. We went with the Chicken curry and rice, when it arrived it was a huge portion and very tasty. No desert was offered.The chef did say that they had staffing problems but still odd that there was no Menu as such.It was a Tuesday Night so this could explain the lack of Menu and options on offer and we were the only two people eating.

Very friendly pub the front of area staff are friendly the pub has a separate dining area and an outside patio for sunny days and a good sized car park

We used to go the Kings Arms quite regularly but hadn't been for over 6 months so booked to go this week. I did the usual and went on Trip Advisor for the latest reviews, wish I hadn't bothered. The very latest reviews were not the best and we seriously nearly cancelled, but we didn't and went on what we remembered of the place thankfully. On arrival the very polite / nice staff were very welcoming and we sat down and had a fantastic Sunday lunch ( carvery ). The beef was extremely well cooked and melted in our mouths, and a very good selection of potatoes and veg, which you help yourself to, overall could not fault it, and especially for the price, we have paid far more for nowhere near as good as this. And in case you are wondering ( as other reviewers have suggested about good reviews ) we are not related to anyone in connection to The Kings, in fact we travel over from Hinckley ( 15 miles or so ) as there is nowhere as good as this near to us, we will definitely be returning again.

Ate here last night with friends. Meal was lovely along with the service. Had a slight issue with one meal as the husband is so fussy, this was changed and sorted out where he ended up having the nicest steak he has had for ages ! Definitely recommend the asparagus and poached egg starter !!!!

The kings arms has a new chef and the food is fantastic, great presentation and tastes great. Definitely will be my local place to eat now. Also had a carvery on Sunday which was lovely.

Eaten here 3 times since new chef has come in. The food is mouth watering. Had two items from menu with puddings and had a carvery. Organised a 12 person table to come and taste the food soon I'm that impressed. Defiantly recommend eating out here if you get a chance. New chef with new menu well done

This evening we visited the kings arms in Coleorton as they have a new chef. The meal was excellent, the steaks were cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. Well done chef we will come again soon.

My family called at the kings arms as we had looked at trip adviser for somewhere local to Ashby. So we thought we would give it ago and first impressions weren't that bad until we had ordered our meals as the service was slow the food was not hot or very fresh. We complained to the staff who just said that we are having staffing problems at the minute and i pointed out that was not our problem as we want our food fresh and hot and the portions to be bigger as they would not even fill our 7 year old .To our amazement she just walked off.The steak was just a cheap cut of meat and was like chewing rubber and a few chips that i could count on one hand. So i would not recommend this place.When we where leaving we asked a local how this place can be so high up on trip adviser and there reply was that the landlord and staff and friends keep putting good reviews on after any bad ones.So when we got home i checked all the reviews and it all makes sense now.please check all the genuine bad ones and then read the ones straight after.Sorry but we will not be returning.

Avoid worst meal ever. A group of six of us went on Friday evening and all the meals was cold and smallest portions imaginable. The Chicken was dry and should of come with seasonal vegetables and all we got was garden peas there should have also been a cheese sauce in the Chicken which was virtually none existent. One of the meals was a beefburger which came with five chips they had run out of coleslaw there was no garnish no sauce or anything with it and the presentation well I'm sure a kid could do better. We wasn't charged for our meals and the Landlord offered for us to go back for a meal on him but it was that bad we decided we wouldn't bother then when we came to pay for our drinks the landlord was rude to us. We will definitely not be visiting again, there are plenty of other places where we can take our business and I would advise anyone to think twice before going to the Kings Arms Coleorton especially If there is more than two of you

Love this place, great food nice beers with guest ones staff very friendly and the food very good especially the Sunday carvery and the Pie night great value for money. A lovely beer garden to relax in after your mealWell recommended

Food was excellent. Good variety. Staff attentive, friendly and polite (as always) we eat here regularly and really can't fault price and quality! Recommend it for a midweek treat or weekend night out

Really enjoyed the carvery and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Can't rate highly enough and we will definitely be back!!

Utter rubbish cold food small amount and the owner was rude and threatening towards us wouldn't even go back if it was free .

Fantastic bar staff great drinks and my meal was probably the best I have had in a local pub for year I will be back

Nipped in for a spot of breakfast an very nice it was too great value for money an friendly staff aswell

Some of the meals were ok...pizzas were particularly bad - it said homemade on the menu but the base was definitely not homemade. The children's pizza was supposed to be smaller instead it was just slices of one of the big ones. Mine was burnt black all round the edge. Also we ordered a children's meal for my two year old and asked for it to come out as soon as it was ready (thinking perhaps during our starters) it arrived after half the adult mains and was so hot he couldn't start eating it for 15 mins! And the fish goujons were tough and chewy. One of our party had lasagne and it was cold in the middle...probably reheated frozen? Very surprised as we chose this restaurant from all the good reviews!

Standard fayre for a pub though the prices they charge suggest better. Homemade chips are good, veg is bagged frozen stuff, Filet Beef Stroganoff sauce was tasty but the beef was quite tough and didn't seem to be filet. Packington Chicken was also a little tough but again the sauce was quite tasty. Staff are friendly and attentive.

First impressions of walking in to this pub is that it is for the locals and the food would be traditional pub grub. I had looked at TripAdvisor before I visited so I knew this was not the case. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the food was excellent. We shared some whitebait to start and I am glad I did not have a portion to myself. Very good value for money and very tasty. I had the belly pork to follow and this too was very tasty. My friends had the lamb and the sea bass. They accommodated the sea bass so that it did not come with the Mediterranean vegetables. Nothing was too much trouble. And of course we had to finish the meal with sticky toffee pudding all round. This worked out - with soft drinks - at £22 each. For the standard of the food I thought it would be more. Becky our waitress was fantastic. We certainly kept her on her toes but nothing was too much trouble and she served us with a smile, even though she was looking after the restaurant and the bar. You are a credit to the pub Becky.

Having seen some good reviews of this restaurant, we thought we'd give it a go. I wish we hadn't!! Firstly, whilst the place was empty, the waitress decided to place us in a section of the restaurant where a party of 13 were due to eat. This didn't make any sense when the rest of the restaurant was empty. We then had to remind the waitress to bring us a menu (she wasn't exactly rushed!). When the starters arrived, I was surprised to see that the whitebait was actually chopped up chunks of a much larger fish - nothing like whitebait should be. We both had the slow cooked belly pork as a main. . . which wasn't slow cooked. Belly pork should melt in the mouth - you shouldn't have to chew (and chew,and chew) it. To be honest, the best part of the main were the bits of black pudding that accompanied the dish. We definitely will not be returning, as there are far better restaurants locally (see my other reviews).
