Marina Brewers Fayre in Hinckley and Bosworth

we visited for a family meal. We was greeted by the manager and he shown us to our table. Ordered food and drinks, didn’t wait too long and the waitress was very friendly. All staff very welcoming, restaurant clean and tidy.

Went here with family and booked a table for 12 near children's play area as had children with us and 2 members of family with disabilities so find steps hard to use. It wasn't on computer but it was quickly sorted and we was soon seated. Went on to have a lovely meal and a fun time was had by the children too in the lovely play area.

Saturday morning breakfast. Booked a 10.30 table for two - no staff available, long queue, not seated until 10.50. Hardly any food left. Flies around the unclean drinks station. Filthy uncleared tables. A horrible experience which we will never repeat. Unable to leave feedback on the website, as it wasn't working properly! Dreadful place.

Booked for Sunday carvery for 7 of us. Arrived 10 mins early ans was told table wasn't ready. Ended up being seated 10 mins later than booking and once seated was told carvery had run out. As the main menu selection was not great and we wanted carvery we spoke to a lady who we think was a manager to see if there was anyway we could get carvery and why we wasn't told before being seated that it had ran out. The lady said well I was telling everyone and went off in a huff. Considering she checked us in she didn't tell us so that wasn't true. We decided to leave and because of the service asked for our drinks to be refunded as wasn't staying. The same lady huffed and puffed and eventually agreed. No apologies, didn't seem bothered was more of an inconvenience being there. Don't bother visiting go somewhere else awful.

Excellent food and a great service. Will be visiting soon.

Came for lunch food was great, nice to sit outside by the canal when the suns shining

Only stayed for drinks tables were sticky 🙃

Visited this place around one month ago with friends for lunch who we hadn’t seen for a while, neither of us are local so decided to meet here as was half way for all of us. We arrived and was greeted by a very snotty lady at the desk where you wait to be seated who quite clearly looked us up and down and spoke down to us leaving us all with a very negative vibe from the get go. Had we have not been with friends at the time then we 100% would not have dined here and would have walked away. It’s a chain pub so wasn’t expecting fine dining but the best thing about the food was the fact it came out to us hot! The standard of quality is I guess as expected however presentation was not there speciality we weren’t expecting a picture on a plate but was also expecting a little bit of pride in the presentation. Personally I don’t think it’s a lot to ask for as a paying customer. It’s safe to say we will NOT be returning here again to waste our money.

Cold carvery. We arrived at 12.30 ordered the food and oh dear. Tepid food and cold plates . We mentioned it to a waitress who stated she would let me return to the carvery as fresh hot food was just coming out of the kitchen , the food served should not have been luke warm. We also ordered another few items having checked the allergy menu and paid extra for vegan cheese on a chicken burger as my daughter has severe dairy allergy. The burger arrived in a brioche bun which are not dairy free and without the cheese. All round terrible service , food we couldn't eat and clearly staff not bothered about orders and dietary limitations. When we left I was ready to complain but no staff were visible to speak with. Sadly a total waste of money on food that should have been of a much higher standard , serving tepid food is not acceptable

Can't fault the food. It's what you expect for this type of establishment but they put their own stamp on it. Affordable and tasty. Wide variety of beverages and refillable sparkling drinks ( coke ect ) On the last 2 occasions I've visited it has been bitterly cold inside which takes away from the warm cosy atmosphere you expect from a pub. Staff are pleasant and welcoming although have witnessed a few incidents with one of the managers and patrons. I guess these things are unavoidable. Parking is iffy, but if you're staying at the hotel then It shouldn't be an issue and if you are just popping in for a quick drink and a bite, if you find parking you must validate your parking inside on the tablet by the restaurant entrance. All in all a nice establishment with all the amenities you expect, and it's right in the canal so on a nice day it's lovely to sit outside and enjoy the boats coming and going.

Unable to review as staff left us waiting to long and we moved on to a different place

Nice restaurant with reasonably priced food and friendly staff.

Nice food quick to serve tables some good deals on some.week nights

Very much a family ( child friendly) place. The screams were too much for me

Nice sitting out area , large menu selection though I only had a coffee. Free coffee refills but coffee very weak.

Really nice place for a Brewers Fayre. Nice views of the canal. Very popular pub. Will definitely go again.

Nice location on the Grand Union Canal. Friendly staff.

Here’s your review incorporating the positive aspects: --- **Review:** I was disappointed with the meal. The curry lacked flavor and had barely any chicken, with the rice overcooked. The fish and chips were overdone, and the lasagna was runny, flavorless, and had mushy pasta. On the plus side, the place was clean and had a nice view of the canal. However, overall, it was not a good experience, and I will not be returning.

Excellent service tasty and value for money food lots of choice and Excellent facilities like a small play area fantastic views from beer garden

Small portions of food for the expensive prices, the staff don't seem interested. Very slow service 😴

Took family for a carvery. The food was amazing. Plenty of choice of vegetables and the roast potatoes were perfect.

Great service and value for money food.

Breakfast is great. We love the buffet with children; it's an absolute bargain!! We prefer to eat a la carte / non-chain pub dinners so can't comment on other food choice. Friendly staff and a little soft play which is a bonus for small children!

We had a great time food was good

We visited here a few weekends ago, and it was very busy but the staff were great. My husband has food allergies and we were impressed at the helpfulness of the team. Even on a busy Saturday evening, we were seated and served in a reasonable timeframe.

Usual fayre at good prices coupled with great location

Popped in for a drink, and barman went to look for some Bulmers cider in the cellar.Fanastic service.

Banging breakfast 1 adult and 2 kids eat free all you can eat.

Good quality food. Limited menu. Very helpful staff.

Nice food, great staff and a nice location next to a canal

When reserving i asked for a quiet table as my daughter has sensory issues, we had a lovely quiet table and the food was lovely! Many thanks 🥰

Friendly and helpful service. Food arrived in good time.

Booked a table and then got told to sit wherever we wanted, breakfast was standard cooked, so I went for the continental and they had run out of chocolate croissants so ended up with only toast

Very good meal, it was our first time there. Staff were polite and helpful even though we had a voucher for free meals

The place IS lovely due it's proximity to the Marina this IS the main thing i liked otherwise the service food were average

Nice carvery, good portions, friendly helpful staff

Went to this restaurant this morning (30/06/2024) for breakfast. We went at 8 am and it was lovely and peaceful. The food was all really fresh and hot. There was lovely range if continental including fruit, yoghurt, granola and mini condiments like honey and golden strip. Alongside bread with butter/Jam/ nuttella and fresh pastries. Then there is the hot buffet breakfast including bacon, sausage, eggs, tomatos, mushrooms, beans and it was lovely and totally filling. There was fresh juice and different varieties of hot drinks and specialty tears. Probably my favourite breakfast buffet I have had in a really long time. Everything was just so fresh and cooked so well. The staff I interacted with were all lovely and the restaurant was very clean and well presented.

Went to breakfast on father's day, after we paid and sat down was told we have an hour as they need the table. 25 minute queue for food, coffee machine was broken foe the first half an hour, only milk alternative was soya, staff were rude when I asked if they had any other alternatives. Food was okay, except the pasties that constantly ran out. Two guys running were are rude and not interested

Food was ok at best, part of the order was served wrong, was shortly rectified but annoying nonetheless. Unlikely to return

The food was very nice and hot l will come again

Great food but expensive without the 40% discount

Very rude staff! I had booked a table for half six and asked to be put near the soft play area, as we were going so my little one could play. I arrived at 18:40 and apologised for being a little late. The staff member didn’t seem interested. He then showed me to a table far from the soft play area. There were two tables that were empty and closer, so I asked if we could sit closer . He said not unless you want to sit in their lap and pointed at the only table with customers!! He then showed me to a table far from the soft play again that had someone’s food and drink on there . He was very sarcastic and unprofessional for no reason

Just had a lovely meal at the Marina and was served by Alfie who managed to get us another table away from the children's area. Thank you Alfie for your service and help.

Went for a breakfast this morning and wow the food was fresh and hot and topped up regularly 😊 The staff and management are friendly and also willing to help you Highly recommend to anyone 😊

Just got back from eating here for the first time,and will definitely be returning to try other meals. Had the Smothered Chicken Platter,and could'nt fault anything from speed of service to quality of food,which arrived quite quickly. Highly recommended!!😁👍

Excellent staff Scott , Ross , Johnny have a great team.All work so hard and keep smiling.So pleasant .Great experience. Food good .

Ordered lasagne with was served with a supposed salad. Say supposed because it was all centre core leaf which was thick and hard with very little greenery attached. No tomato, no onion, 4 very small bits of cucumber, a few bits of red pepper and loads of sweetcorn which I did not want or like. I've never seen sweetcorn in a salad before. Lasagne was very nice and hot. Coffee machine is a good idea for those who want refills. Variety of coffee is good.

Poor quality beans,sausage n coffee. Not worth £11.

Can't complain, coming in, having a good Food or drink, the Food is really good, worth to visit!

Booked as we had a room in the Premier inn. Very loud, not just the people, also the music. Food wasn't great. Chips could of been cooked more as some of them seemed raw. service wasn't great. Waited ages for the food, even longer for the dessert.

A great location on the river with views of the houseboats which reminded me of Chelmsford. Food arrived quickly and was absolutely first class battered Haddock and chips. Generous portions and well cooked. Service was efficient and friendly.

Lovely location but lack of staff are really letting this place down. I’ve booked twice in the past month and food has taken almost an hour to arrive. No apology from staff. I have a birthday party and need a table for 10 but won’t return here until they sort out their staffing shortages. Real shame as being next to the canal is a lovely location.

Staff need a little more customer service

Good value tasty, and the two for one we had was well worth the money.

I’ve eaten here several times with family. Lovely location, especially in the good weather you can eat outside, they have tables by the lake. Generally clean, but they need to clean the table menus and salt and pepper pots more often. It does put me off when you have to look through a dirty, sticky menu. Service is good. You order at the bar and I’ve never had to wait too long. Food has always been served with a reasonable waiting time and is very tasty, especially the steaks, which are always cooked as you ask. I haven’t had a bad meal here. Staff are friendly. We tend to book online, which is very handy, and there is no minimum number of guests to be able to book online either. Decent seating area by the bar, with big screen to watch matches. Toilets are always very clean. Carvery is amazing! It’s supposed to finish at 6pm on Sunday, but when we arrived at 5:30 last weekend for the carvery, we were told it had ended as they’d run out of meat. So be sure to book well before then if you want their carvery. The man who does the carvery is very friendly and you can tell that he enjoys his job, and he’s good at it. You get served the meat, but everything else you get to serve yourself, including the delicious Yorkshire puddings, which are unlimited, unlike in most places where you can only have one. Menu has a good variety of meals and the puddings are nice. Could do with a few more puddings on the menu though. Ample parking, 3 hours free, remember to tell them your car registration number on arrival though. Highly recommended.

Food was excellent (mixed grill with pepper corn sauce) nice and hot. Service was a little slow, but I think that was because of extra customers at lunchtime and the sunny warm day. Atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. Will go again(recommended) 😋

Great place I'll be going there again

It has a beautiful canal and canal boat view, it has a children's play area. They accommodated for 15 people in my family and we're professional. The food came out roughly all at the same time too. Food was great 👍

I was part of a party celebrating a birthday. The staff team couldn't have been more helpful and the food came out quickly and correctly. Will definitely be back

"Ineptitude and Insensitivity: Chaos at Mother-in-Law's Birthday Dinner Leaves Family Starving and Disillusioned" We had my mother-in-law's dinner booked for 8 people at half 4. When We got there, we had to wait over 20 minutes for our reserved table, despite the place hardly being busy. Only at that point of being shown to our table did the same manager Ross tell us the carvery had finished an hour ago. Why couldn’t he have told us that before? So, there are the first two mistakes. When our table had decided what we were having from the menu, since the carvery had gone, we split the order in three. Since I had two children with me, a four-year-old and a two-year-old, the party allowed me to order ours first, followed by the other two orders for the same table, number 22. I asked the staff member, who I was told later was a manager, “What’s the waiting time on the food” he answered with “Whenever the kitchen staff have made it”. After the entire table had been waiting for over 40 minutes, I asked what was happening, and at that point, some food was finally coming to our table. Although we purposely ordered first, none of the food was ours or our kids. We waited another 5 minutes or so, and I went over to the manager asking where my family’s food was. They said the food comes out in “ticket order” I replied by telling him that we purposely ordered first so my children could be fed first. He went off and then returned, apologised for the wait, and said it would be ready in five minutes. Over 10 minutes later the rest of our table had eaten all their food, our 4-year-old had fallen asleep waiting, and our 2-year-old was getting very moody (found out later because he had soaked himself while staving for his food). At this point, we were ready to walk. The final straw that broke the camel's back was the same manager taking an entire table of food over to another table, who came in and ordered way after we had. At this point, I had enough. This wasn’t fair for my poor kids. I said to the manager that “now you are taking the piss”. We stood up, and I woke my eldest and prepared us all to leave without being fed. We got our money back on the way out for our 4 meals, but it was the worst experience my family has ever had eating out anywhere. My young children were starving with no food, and the restaurant's incompetence ruined my mother-in-law's birthday meal. The place and the people to work there should be ashamed of themselves.

Recently visited midweek for a family members birthday meal out. The staff are very friendly and professional. It's in a lovely location by the Ashby canal. The place was pretty quiet at 6pm so found it a little annoying that we were put on a table next to another family making it difficult for us and them to move chairs to get out even though most tables were available As there were 8 of us they struggled to get all of our meals out with myself having to wait for my smothered chicken to be cooked. The rest of the family had almost finished by the time it arrived. Family said their food was really nice but I felt my chicken was inedible and I'll pretty much eat anything

Sitting outside, at the last tables, by the backyard parking lot, there is no nunber on the tables. If there is, it is well hidden. There was no way of explaining to the bartender that I cannot give him a number. Even though all the tables were empty, he still wanted me to go back and get him a table number. Tunnel vision at its best. No table number, no food. -Mate, don't you know what tables you have outside? Can't you put the order or ANY table number outside? They are all empty. -No, sorry, I still need a table jumber. Mate, you want me to go all the way back there, where there is no number on the tables, and give you a number that doesn't exist? -Yes, I need the table number. Too bad, was going to meet some motorcycle friends there. Not anymore, ever.

During our recent visit to Brewers Fayre for breakfast (26/04/2024), our disabled son was having issues being in an unusual environment. The hostess was really accommodating and kept going the extra mile, to ensure that we had a great experience. Thank you so much.

Very pleasant place. Nice pub food. Excellent staff.

Absolutely lovely! Lovely architecture in lovely surroundings, complimented with lovely staff, serving lovely food at a lovely price, giving us a lovely time.

It was a Brewers Fayre as they are

The bar service was very ad-hoc, no structure to who was going to get served first. We had coffee which was fine, however, I ordered cheesy garlic bread. When It eventually came it was just 2 small slices, seemingly not grilled except for the cheese on top and was soggy. This at nearly £5.00. Sorry, not impressed.

Absolute dive! Avoid! We booked a table and we politely asked the waitress to sit away from the play area, we were met with a very rude response of "well the play area is over there" but we still had to put up with kids running around us constantly! The main bar area smelt of strong urine, the cutlery was filthy and the food was poor. Would not recommend going here!

We come here regularly and always enjoy the food and atmosphere at this Brewers Fayre. Meals are served very speedily by pleasant and helpful staff. Bar staff are always quick to serve in here too. All meals arrive hot and are great value with a varied menu we’ve tried most of by now. As far as pub grub goes you can’t get better than this place and I’m recommending you come and give it a try if you haven’t already !

I genuinely felt sorry for the 2 bar staff. The manager was just swanning about pretending to be busy while the two staff tried to deal with the large queues.

Table booked for 10am breakfast. No black puddings, no mushrooms, no scrambled, poached or boiled egg. No syrup, no choc spread. No muffins, no fresh fruit and no bagels. No fruit juice and hot drinks machine was out of order though did get fixed. Staff were not interested and just said first come first served. What food there was was hot and decent though.

Lovely breakfast. Food is lovely a hot and fresh. Buffet breakfast is evident that the food is changed frequently. Excellent price for the variety of food being served. Well worth a visit.

We like coming here for the breakfast as it works out great value with 2 kids eating for free, it's our go-to meet up place with friends in school holidays. The staff are really nice and welcoming even when they are busy rushing around :) could have done with the pancakes being topped up this time as there weren't any left when I went up! However if I had asked I'm sure they would have put more out but I didn't cos I'd definitely eaten enough by then anyway ;)

For the first time in my life, I sent the food back. Onion rings dripping with oil. Tomatoes in the salad were rotten. The food was stone cold. The steak was clearly a leftover which came out of the fridge and someone forgot to put it in the microwave. It was shrivelled and had to spit out the first mouthful tasting like sewage. The gammon was more fat than meat, chicken breast was just cardboard. Shame on you Brewers Fayre. You have lost my custom for life.

Had dinner and food was a good price (especially with the value menu which is Monday to Friday until 18:00pm priced at 2 for £11.99). Food was decent and what you would expect of a chain like this. Service was a bit slow but nothing unreasonable. Has a little soft play area for kids that was enjoyed. Overall can recommend if you are after a decent meal on a budget.

We went for food but at wrong time so can not coment

Excellent service by the staff and management! Great food and drink selection. Well done to the pub manager 'Scott' and his team.

Lately been disappointed. Keep running out of popular items. Lager, like Coors and Carling. Certain food items. Lack of staff behind the bar. Brewers fayre is slipping and thereby lose customers

Went for breakfast this morning, got there to be rudely told they had no tables left despite there clearly being a number of tables free, person who told us this had the etiquette of an ape, not even a sorry, disgusting people skills, won’t be going again

I ordered chicken tikka curry last night and was very disappointed because curry sauce was more like soup so I could not even eat it with naan as I usually do. I did speak to a staff about it and she said it is the curry and this is how it usually comes out. I said no I did order this ten times in the past and this is a first time souse is so runny and lacking thickness. Manager did not offer me a refund or anything she just said that she can change it for the same dish . Obviously there is no point in that. On the other hand there is a lovely new lady working at the till. She is very friendly and helpful. I hope more people like that get employed by the restaurant.

Foods ok just dont go if your in hurry nice staff but clearly under staffed

Even though it was very quiet, was told all other tables were reserved. Was there 3 hrs and noone sat at any of the other tables. Food was only warm when it came out despite it not being busy and they didn't bring a peppercorn sauce they charged for. Ordered a mocktail which came in a coke glass. Very underwhelming. The waitress who brought the food was lovely and very polite but other staff could do with being more helpful.

It was our first visit here for breakfast and we were impressed with everything. We have had quite a few Premier Inn breakfasts before but this was our first buffet style one. We preferred it as we could decide what we wanted when we saw it rather than needing to decide when ordering.

Absolutely fantastic all around service, staff, food, drink. Had evening meal with my girlfriend and it was lovely, that wasn't a big wait despite just being a walk in. Got seated within a few mins. All you can drink on fizzy pop which is fantastic for customers that don't drink alcohol. I'll be there for the breakfast soon!!!

I find it a nice place to eat with a good range of menu items. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. Being able to sit next to the water and watch the boats passing is a bonus.

Very good for breakfast 😋. We haven't tried the dinner menu yet. Very friendly even when it is quite busy.

Cold food, extremely slow service, understaffed.

I had booked a Christmas meal at the beginning of December for Christmas day at 5pm. They stopped serving food at 4pm and the cancellation email was sent to my spam email box so I had no idea. We turned up to be told by the manager,who was quite abrupt and not very apologetic,that all bookings after 4pm had been cancelled. We went home hungry as nowhere else was available at such short notice on Christmas day obviously.

Christmas Day dinner. It was eventful to say the least. Staff look like deer in headlights most of the time, on edge and not very good at hosting at all. No very festive either.No atmosphere except staff running around like headless chickens. Starters arrived and we all had prawn cocktail. The sauce was very runny and there wasn’t much of it. But the prawns were lovely and fresh, so was the salad. Shame about the lack of sauce. Carvery was a shambles really. No sides available as ordered. They said they put everything out - why ask on the form beforehand to order sides? The gravy was like water and had a funny orange tinge to it?! The meat was lovely! So were the yorkies! The parsnips were black, undercooked roasties, dirty carrots, stuffing was rock hard. Please don’t get me started on the brussels - they had turned grey! I could go on but you get the drift. It felt like, well you’ve paid for the meal already so we don’t care what we serve you. Not very good at all.

Staff were friendly and busy. We ordered the Christmas dinner offer with desert, we did ask for our desert of black forest gateau and waited 20 minutes. We ended up leaving without desert as we had to be somewhere!!!! The food was nice and recommended but it would have been a nicer to have completed the meal!! I’ve accepted that they were busy but at least someone in the kitchen should have known!!!

Bit slow on service long time between courses

Lovely place for a meal. we went with workmates for supper. All had a wonderful time.

Good food and had a 33% off food coupon so well worth it. Food very hot and good value. Staff very friendly.

Great food great staff good views of the canal watching the boats

Lovely breakfast, good service. No complaints ..

Excellent food, Service and price.

Lovely Sunday dinner here ,cheers.

Loved the meals and the staff were all helpful and friendly. Great all round service!!! We have eaten there about six times now in the last month and the service is consistent every visit. The food is also consistently good. I would imagine it complements the Premier Inn next door quite nicely.

Madeline, Olivia, Ava & Stephen? Were awesome hosts for our table of 12. Would definitely recommend 👍

maybe it was a bad night, while there was nothing wrong, there was nothing right either. food was ok but no where great. and just feel a bit dead in there
