Lime Tree in Blaby

We heard this location had been refurbished and it was very busy. We had the Sunday Carvery and the food was excellent. It was very busy but the service was first class and we didn't have to wait for anything with our plates collected as soon as we had all finished. Great value for money too and well worth a visit. Well done to all.

The staff were pleasant and the pub is well decorated. We were pleasantly surprised how good our meals were - they were well presented, proportioned and delicious. It's a 'recommend' from us. It would be good if there could be more vegetarian options and a main course salad, especially for lunchtime. Thank you for being dog-friendly in the bar area.

Food and staff where great and really accommodating, can't say a bad thing about the meal. We really enjoyed the atmosphere which was very relaxing.

Service and food were both excellent, waiting staff couldn’t do enough to make our meal amazing. Steak was awesome

I really don't know why I even went to this dreadful shabby place again? The very young staff were OK. Had pre ordered festive fayre. After 30 minutes the starter had not arrived so had to ask where it was? A bowl of soup and antipasti were then served. Main course I had Sea Bass which was exquisite. But the deep fried, rock hard potatoes were inedible, and accompanied by brussels sprouts, parsnips and carrots I found it odd to say the least with fish. Most disappointing were the slivers of samphire. Overcooked and sparse. With a mediocre Pinot Grigot at £7.20 a glass the whole experience was dire. This is not a restaurant, it is an extremely over priced scruffy canteen. Have now learned my lesson and will spend my money on proper restaurant food, where fish is served with a sauce at least.

The food was amazing, and the service was great. A lovely restaurant for a family meal and a treat out.

Went as a party of 7 for dinner and ate from the festive menu. The food was great and our server Izzy was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

We had the most fantastic Christmas meal here last night. We were a big group and the service was amazing! Our waitress Izzie was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious! Can’t recommend this place highly enough! We will definitely be back again soon!

Went for dinner with my parents on Saturday evening. Service was fantastic from start to finish, special thanks to Izzy who was our server for the evening and couldn’t do enough for us. She is an asset to the team and made our meal a wonderful experience for us. Food was delicious and came out quickly after ordering. Will always recommend coming here to anyone in the area.

Great venue, good parking, normally good service, good wine menu; But the food is always just average. My mixed grill was over cooked, my wife's haloumi was cool (her sauvignon blanc was warm!), there was no non-battered fish or non-battered seafood on the menu. The chips & fries were excellent! It's a shame as it is so convenient.

Had a nice meal with very attentive and professional service. The waitress was very polite and enhanced an already enjoyable experience. The menu had great variety and the quality was good. Will 100% be returning.

Absolutely love this place We went for dinner Saturday night and it was busy but the service and food were second to none 🙃 Keep up the good work you lot ..such a great place x

Being londoner , and being lied about not doing singles whiskey or any shots at all is hilarious. I just think how can that be in any pub in Midlands, especially with all the mix crowd you had. Also the manager just emptied the till and left when I asked for drink .. just say now instead of lying.. what a massive let down.

Frequent visitor to this brilliant pub. Staff are always polite, friendly & extremely attentive. Last night served drinks by lovely bar staff & looked after so well by Lauren. She is so smiley & nothing is too much trouble. Food was as amazing as always. We ordered from vegan, vegetarian & main menu. All very much enjoyed. Please don’t ever stop doing sticky toffee pudding! Thanks again everyone, your hard work is really appreciated :)

Great food, great service - you’ll probably see me here every weekend! Can’t wait to come back again

Absolutely amazing night thanks to Kory and his team. We went as a party of 33 for a leaving party. Nothing was too much trouble, the table was ready on arrival and there was no problem with the pre orders of food. The service was...

My wife, four family members and I had dinner at this eatery on a Sunday afternoon, and it was much as I expected. My wife and I have lived in this area for twenty-six years, and this is only the third time that we have...

I went for lunch with two of my close friends and the Lime Tree is a particular favourite of ours. We were looked after by Izzy and Jackson today who we're attentive and helpful without being ott. The food as always was amazing, great value...

Despite turning up close to closing time, the staff were accommodating for our group of eight and the food was good (the veg were a little overdone but the pie and chips were tasty). Izzy was our waitress who made the evening fun and was...

We had a great meal, the scampi, steak and ale pie and nectar oil went down well, and we had fantastic service from our waitress Izzy.

Had a cowboy burger and it was bloody amazing! Came out much quicker then expected and was unbelievably tasty. Staff greeted me with a huge amount of respect and gratitude and were very pleasant upon arrival, will definitely be coming back again.

We have eaten here several times over the last few years. But service has declined rapidly recently. We booked a family birthday meal, I dropped in a bunch of helium balloons 15 minutes before the meal, but was disappointed to find they were not on...

This was a real disappointment. Myself, my wife and my sister in law visited for an impromptu lunch on Monday 5th June. I had the lighter bite or lunch version of the chicken with stilton and peppercorn sauce. This dish was awful, the plate was...

Had a great sunday lunch. Nice environment, really good food and sunny weather (which helps). Quick and easy for lunch time meals. I'd recommend it.

I reviewed this place a few months ago. It was five stars then and it’s another five now. We only popped in on the off chance for a light meal and a couple of drinks. We had the sharing nachos plate with the delicious chilli...

Izzy 4 Barbados 2023!! Very welcoming from entry to end. 10% holiday worthy and wouldn’t work anyone else to win.

Izzy for Barbados 2k23. The food was really lovely for a Friday evening out! Great service too! 👏

Compliments to the 16 year old chef! THEE BEST blue cheese sauce we have ever tried. Amazing food and prices. We are regulars here and never been disappointed

Booked a table for the two of us for this evening. Having arrived almost 20 minutes before our alloted time of 7.15pm, one car park was completely full, the other one also looked full from the road. Walking not an option as we are about...

We booked for a table of 18 for our daughters Birthday meal. We pre ordered our food and it was excellent. Not a single complaint from any of our guests. The food was served promptly and hot all 18 meals. The staff were very friendly...

After a disappointing visit to another local eatery and a ferocious manager we decided to decamp to the Lime Tree. What a wise move. An excellent surf and turf cooked to medium rare perfection. Lovely filling meal for my wife and daughter. Table staff were...

Group of four, all had a cracking meal. My rump steak / surf & turf was excellent. My wife’s Katsu curry also lovely and our friends meals both equally good. Decent beer and pretty good wine too - we had the French Cabernet Sauvignon &...

Ideal place to meet ex-work colleagues from around the Leicestershire area. Nice venue, easy to get to, very pleasant and helpful staff and good food food.

Fantastic evening with friends at the lime tree. Good setting, even better food and topped off by a brilliant member of staff who was welcoming, attentive and above all smiley and happy to be there. Reece absolutley made the difference from 4* to 5*. Thankyou...

Was served beef short rib that I was told had been slow cooked for 16 hours. Clearly not at a high enough temperature as inside was cold raw beef fat that you would expect to see in raw meat. not meat served to you in...

Great experience at our recent visit with family. There was 8 of us and unfortunately the restaurant couldn’t accommodate us but we managed to book a table in the bar area. Menu was great and had lots of choice. Food was great and plentiful portion...

Had heard this place had improved and got rid of its terrible reputation so recently returned but sadly not great. Prices have gone up and the cleanliness down. Needs a proper clean up. If you like rough and ready this place is for you.

Been to the lime tree today sat in garden not to busy to start with ordered drinks which the price seemed to fluctuate who you had to serve you same rounds each time and drinks the same but there was never the same price the...

What a local gem! Lovely garden for adults but especially kids. Good food and great service. All you need on a sunny lunchtime 😀

Garden is great for little ones.. lots of seating around the play area and bouncy castles. Was very popular for 12 on a weekday tbf. Kids mac n cheese was good. Kids pizza huge! LOVED the Tikka flatbread..that was incredible! My dad just found the...

We had a meal here with friends and although the food was nice it was very much overpriced for the type of establishment and the area. The drinks are also expensive and the fact it has a lovely garden area with bouncy castles in they...

As a family , and friends , we booked part of the restaurant area at The Lime Tree , for a private family party as a celebration of our mother's life after her funeral earlier in the day. We were very pleased at the way...

visited on sunday 3rd of april, they were able to accommodate our large group at fairly short notice. The carvery was delicious. I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is always lovely and good value for money.

We came for a family meal the week after Mothers Day, due to a covid outbreak in the family, and everything was busy. The minimal staff clearly couldn't cope with the packed restaurant and service was, whilst friendly, very slow. The food everyone else ordered...

Had a really nice meal and lovely service, our table was looked after by Freya who was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We were served by other members of staff but unsure of anyone else’s name but we had a...

Food was great. Portions were decent too. Only minor issue was that the first time I ordered chicken shashlik, it came out without salsa and cucumber on it and then the second time it did. I don’t like cucumber so I asked them to change...

Visited the Lime Tree for the first time today with my family for a birthday celebration. Wow we absolutely loved it, great food, lovely atmosphere and the staff were just brilliant. We will definitely be back. (Thank you for the takeaway carvery too).

After being let down on two days before the big for our Christmas Day meal, I messaged The Lime Tree (who we where originally wanted to book with, but where a little too late this year!) to see if they had any cancellations for the...

We really enjoyed our dinner on Christmas day. The food and service were excellent. They had taken particular care with the table settings and we were even given a Christmas card. All in all it made our day. Thanks to all the staff.

What a great place to eat, Boxing Day, very busy but still a very friendly reception, with staff always smiling. Despite being busy the food arrived quickly. Large, delicious portions which really fill you up. Look forward to returning soon. Special thanks to our waitress,...

Overall very enjoyable visit with two friends. Took a while to be served as very busy but once they did, looked after us very well - by Natalie our main waitress. The only other downside for me - obviously only my opinion - is the...

Usual superb visit to Lime Tree today. Fantastic staff, superb food, brilliant atmosphere. Stand out today...Omar on the carvery! So funny & super friendly.

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends we have not seen for 2 years due to the pandemic. The meal was lovely and the staff very friendly. Special thanks to Ryan who looked after us so well.

*8 of us went for Sunday lunch some wanted normal Sunday lunch others did not, all catered for, letting the Sunday lunch customers know to start getting there meals, so we could eat tougher.

Had a sunday carvery yesterday to celebrate my Mums 95th birthday. Great food. Good Chouce of meats and menu.Took our own birthday cake which the Spanish manager was only too happy to sort out and bring to the table later. Great staff from Nick the...

Our first visit here since March 2020 and pleased to confirm it’s just as fantastic now! Carvery is back on and excellent as always today. We both had Turkey and Beef (the other option was Gammon) and then plenty of potatoes, veg and sauces to...

A lovely Wednesday lunch meal out - the bar staff were very friendly, quick service and the food tasted great. Thanks guys!

Visited today on a recommendation - Lovely place but it was busy and as a result told to wait in bar, not a problem but not a great welcome. After 20 minutes shown to our table, given menus and then left not a word said,...

Visited the lime tree this afternoon, was a lovely atmosphere, Matt was our server he was very attentive and came to check we were ok, gave us advice on the menu and even asked if we would like our photo taken as we were struggling...

We went for the first time shortly after restaurants re-opened after lockdown. It's a very nice place. It was easy to use the app to order food, its got a nice garden to sit outside and they invested in a play area for kids making...

Had a family birthday gathering for my nephew's 19th birthday today and the service could not have been better from our server Matt! I rang ahead of our booking to check if the restaurant could cater for a coeliac vegetarian as the menu online did...

Having read the great reviews, I was expecting a much better experience than we had when we booked for Sunday lunch last week. We arrived 15 mins prior to our booking at 4:30 and were promptly shown to our table and given the menus by...

we arrived at 7.30 for our 7.45 reservation what a good job as there were no more spaces in the car park so we had to find a street to park in ... good start but then after waiying to be seated in the restaurant...

Now much better food been in for 4 meals and the food is great . I sat in the bar to have my food there was a group of 4 builder types guys f this c this etc there were kids within earshot and the...

This is not our local pub, it's 30 mins walk away from where we live, but worth the walk as it's gorgeous. Set in a quaint Leicestershire village with not one but 4 beer gardens, all beautifully maintained. We used to go regularly before lockdown,...

Brilliant service received tonight from Matt, really welcoming and friendly service. Highly recommend the lime tree!

We had a great meal for our daughters last day of exams. The service was brill to and in particular great service from Katie.

Excellent service and even better food. Was very impressed as everything was socially distanced and I felt very safe and comfortable. Staff wore masks. Tables sterilised immediately when customers left. Would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone especially those who like me are a little...

Good food, nice play area for the kids and great service what more can you ask for, jake was really helpful that guy deserves a raise.

Had a lovely meal at the lime tree today and our server Olivia was so helpful and kind. Will definitely come back again

We managed to book a table at this restaurant but was booked in for the bar area. Wasn't quite ideal for us as we prefer the main restaurant environment especially with kids. However, On arrival, we asked to see if there were space in the...

Great meal, efficient & very friendly staff. One of our favourite places to go. Very tasty & reasonable priced food

Went down the lime tree tonight for food and drink and I’m pleased to say it was just as good now as it was before lockdown . I had a rump steak which was cooked just right and my wife had the halloumi burger which...

Went on a trip to the Lime Tree with my nana and had a lovely meal. We were served by Libby with excellent customer service thank you!

A brilliant restaurant, with lovely fresh food. The service was quick and easy. We were served by Libby who was very welcoming and attentive. Will definitely be coming again!

First meal inside a restaurant after lockdown, had a lovely meal, I had the chicken burger which was massive and I struggled to polish it off, my wife chose the halloumi and sweet chilli on flatbread sandwich which she said was delicious, the staff were...

First meal out since lockdown relaxed. Lunch in the garden. Everything was well organized and staff helpful. Table service or app was available so we choose the former. Service was good and extensive menu available. Food was good too.

Great pub. I met with friends for lunch. Was fantastic and the real ale was spot on. I had our puppy with us and the staff were great.

Booked a takeaway Sunday lunch for the first time and have to say it was excellent. The quality and quantity of the food was very good and value for money. It was even delivered and right on time. Well done to the staff for making the effort. Will be back for more !

Lunch was large portion. Roasts and stuffing burned. Cauliflower cheese cold and undercooked. Not sure why on a roast there would be lots of onions. Turkey very thickly sliced. Lumpy mash, had lots of herbs in. Yorkshire pudding cold. Won’t be ordering again.

Excellent takeaway meal , good value, prompt delivery, only sorry couldn't tip delivery man more.....only pennies in cash at home! Highly recommended !

Preordered a takeaway for our Saturday evening and also for Sunday dinner. There’s a first time for everything and this worked so well we intend to use this service again

We had a take away dinner from the lime tree. It was delicious and was a really good service on arrival of collection. It was lovely to have a delicious meal prepared for you and even better that it comes all prepared in a container so no washing up!

Love our times at the Lime Tree. 4 of us visited this Sunday for lunch. All COVID precautions adhered to. Despite the looming lockdown staff were cheerful, friendly & attentive. Really well looked after by the lovely Katie. So professional. Shout out to the friendly Spanish waiter, so sorry we don’t know your name! Food was fantastic. Thank You chefs. Steak & Ale pie is so good. Especially when followed by hot fudge cake. Exceptionally friendly, cheerful young chef helped with our service. You’re all amazing. Wish you well at this difficult time & look forward to seeing you all again as soon as we’re allowed!

Had a really nice meal, exceptional customer service. Definitely be back. Couldn't be more accommodating

Food was very nice - especially the halloumi fries. Staff were accommodating and had great social distancing and Covid precautions in place. Has a really nice feel to it.
