The service was diabolical and we had an unpleasant experience. The staff were not trained and we were there for almost 4 hours. Some of our food was cold and on letting the staff know, nobody came back to us following our feedback. All in all a terrible experience and we will not be coming back or recommending.

This place looks lovely from the website but in reality is far from the gastro pub it aspires to be. The heating was not on when we went and it was freezing through the building. We were firstly told the heating was on, then told they couldn’t turn it up because only the owner could do that but on his phone and they would have to call him (which they didn’t) and finally that it was broken. We would have left but had travelled a long way and arranged taxis with friends. The food was mediocre, the service was very amateur, there was no atmosphere, they had run out of things and we had to listen to a band tuning up in the bar and then thrashing out loud music while we were eating. Simple things would have made so much difference such as softening the lights in the dining room, throwing away the old tea lights and lighting new ones, telling us in advance what they had run out of things rather than bringing an incomplete dish, and providing some form of heating so I didn’t have to sit in my coat. The staff were pleasant but it felt like they hadn’t been trained at all and the building felt run down and uncared for.

Waiting staff are friendly. Not much atmosphere in the restaurant area and the fake flowers and twigs in the ceiling are very dated. Service was very slow despite only one other table having food at the same time. It was empty. The arancini balls were very okay but the salad underneath was limp. Main course x 2 arrived eventually and were not as advertised in the menu. Apparently soggy potato wedges are meant to be chunky chips. Chunky chips should be crisp on outside and fluffy in the middle. The peas were overcooked. The battered cod was perfect and huge. Halibut wrapped in Parma ham with hasselback potatoes came as halibut with a small scattering of crispy bacon bits and boiled baby potatoes. No salt or pepper on the table. The Oat Hill charges premium rates for very average food and what you order from the menu is not always going to be what you are expecting.

Came here a few years ago for a birthday and it was superb, so we booked again for another birthday. Not quite as good. Waiter very pleasant, waitress a bit ditsy but think she was new. No cutlery on table, drinks order incorrect, smokey smell from outside, had to ask for salt and pepper. Food - bread and olives starter which didn't have any balsamic in the oil and no butter I had risotto which was quite nice but a bit bland hence the request for salt. Parner had lamb, expensive but very well cooked but a bit bland. Desserts were nice. Overall, nice - ish but not anywhere nesr as good as last time :(:( Good veggie and vegan options, at least 6 dishes.

A disastrous mistake. Arrived at 1.30pm the time we booked and were given the menu. I chose wine as I hoped to order the seafood linguine on the menu we were given. The waitress then came back to tell us we had ordered from the evening menu and our choices were not available. So presumably the chef is incapable of cooking a pasta at lunchtime but totally capable in the evening! So we had to choose from the lunchtime menu. 45 minutes later the waitress came back to tell us a party of 20 had arrived and our meal would be delayed by another 10 minutes. We decided enough was enough and cancelled the meal. We were still charged in full for the drinks we had had and no manager appeared to apologise for the shoddy treatment we had received. I would avoid this sorry excuse for a restaurant and go to Ascoughs.

Sunday dinner heaven :-) Had the sharer platter which was massive!! Not only was the quantity huge, the quality matched it. We had our dog with us, and they asked if he’d like some meat. They brought out a huge helping of beef off cuts which he loved. We couldn’t finish it all and they kindly put it in boxes to take home. Also lovely setting, great service and nice setting. Must visit and will be back.

We went for drinks and food as a group of five, and had a fabulous evening. We started off with some drinks in the bar area which is comfortable and well decorated. We moved through to the restaurant for a meal and everything we had was absolutely delicious. I had the slow cooked belly pork and it was fall apart amazing. After eating, we went back to the bar for some cocktails including one of the specials which is an after eight espresso martini which was amazing. We got chatting to the staff and both the bar staff and restaurants staff were friendly and engaging. I’d absolutely recommend this place, for a drink or food or both, and will definitely be visiting again. Bonus - it’s dog friendly!!

I had wanted to visit here for some time. We dined here on a Friday evening and drinks were great although my first choice of cocktail was unavailable. The duck risotto was enjoyable but the specifically mentioned babycorn was absent and no mention made to point this out. Two of us shared the steak from the specials board (tomahawk surf and turf), which sounded amazing for £65, however the steak was difficult to eat. The dinner was served on a wooden board and presentation was good with salad, wedges, steak, prawns and a lobster tail. Individually we were given a small side plate which was too small for this kind of meal. A dinner plate would have been much more appropriate. After several unsuccessful attempts to slice off the meat, we requested a steak knife. After a few minutes of the waitress searching, she produced a couple of slightly sharper knifes. The steak itself was disappointing and not tender. Cooked as requested, but meat was tough and chewy. We enjoyed the cheesecake for dessert. Staff were friendly and attentive. Unlikely we will return for a meal, but might call in for a bar drink.

The Oathill is one of my fave pubs. I love the food (esp the roast!) love the cocktails and it’s dog friendly. We came on Saturday for an afternoon tea for a birthday and it was delicious, and so much for the price point! (I also forgot to pre-advise of a vegetarian 🙈 and that was catered for no problem on the day.) We were really looked after, thank you.

Our arrival should’ve prepared us for the worse!! Table booked for 3pm with confirmation email, payment of £100/head and menu choice made in advance. We arrived early for pre-dinner drinks to no real formal check-in, when we were told we had booked for 12.30. At 4pm, following many chases, we were finally seated at a table in the bar, by the gents toilet. In summary, very slow and ad hoc service, food very average and apologetic staff - at 7pm we decided to take the cheese course home as service was so slow and the sweet treats to finish were not petit four as expected but a saucer of cadburys “celebrations”!

Came for Sunday lunch with 7 family members today. Three of us ordered the nut roast…and it wasn’t a nut roast?? It was rice with raisins, pumpkin seeds and peppers (no nuts) in the shape of a nut roast. None of us ate it, it wasn’t very nice and not what was described on the menu. None of the staff members asked why nobody ate it! So we all paid almost £20 for three potatoes, one parsnip and two chunks of carrot each. They had no alternative milk for the two of us who can’t have dairy. The doors were propped open for staff ease of access so it was freezing and we were eating in our coats (food which went cold because of the draft!). Only giving two stars because the mulled wine was nice and my family who had turkey and pork belly enjoyed their meals.

Not up to usual standard we have not been for a while as the cost of everything makes going out a treat, but as it was my son's Birthday we decided to go for Sunday lunch. We were disappointed with the quality of the food my beef was tough and we sent back the cauliflower cheese because it was burnt. Wonder if they have a different chef because the standards have dropped considerably since the last time we visited.

I’d been here a few years ago and revisited based on enjoying the food etc last time. I was really disappointed. We were a large group that had booked for a special occasion. I didn’t notify the team when I booked because I didn’t think I needed to. We waited over half an hour later than our booking to be seating which I appreciate on a busy day can happen but then we could’ve had our food order taken so we were served quicker when we did get to our table. The food was nice enough but the prices seem to have gone up a lot with some of the starters costing as much as a main meal. The website quotes on how good their service is but unfortunately we didn’t feel this. No one came to see about drinks. Our table was covered in glasses for service all which were in the way and my partner ended up clearing them to make way for our food. Food wait was long and a few things had run out by the time our order was taken. It was extremely disappointing as we had gone for a special occasion. I assumed I didn’t need to say this when booking to be able to get even a basic level of service. It is a nice place and I did enjoy my previous visits however I’m unlikely to go again.

Went with my sister for something to eat on a Sunday afternoon. The place is a nice traditional pub with seating indoors and out. Toilets were clean. We both chose the beef roast, my sister liked it more rare and myself more medium. The food was absolutely fantastic. Every item well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The beef serving was generous. Every bite was tasty - the carrots, the potatoes, the green veg. The food was served nice and warm, perfect temperature. The girl serving was very pleasant and helpful as well as the chap serving the food and both came round asking whether we wanted more gravy. Great food, great location, great service. Well done.

In March we booked the Oat Hill for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. The venue was in a private area at the bottom of the garden, a marquee with canopied area for dancing and our own private bar. Almost a secret garden. From start to finish attention to detail was brilliant and Chris (the Boss) bent over backwards to accommodate our requests. The Marquee was decorated so prettily. Our main concern having it in the garden was the weather but contingencies were put into place in case of it being cold or wet. Nothing was to much for the team. We were given many compliments by our guests of the courteous and friendly manner they had. Thanks go to the Chef Jo... the food was faultless, with creativity, all guests requiremrnts were catered for. Huge thanks to Shannon and Georgia who managed to keep me calm and again nothing was too much for them. We found the perfect place to have our celebration.

We had high expectations after seeing the food on Instagram. The menu was a good choice of Sunday roasts and a few pasta options.3 of us had a starter of pil pil prawns. There was no garlic or chilli. The 5 prawns were served in what can only be described as a tomato passata sauce which was disappointing. For mains 2 had the roast beef. 1 had belly pork and the other chicken and chorizo pasta. When it arrived the pasta dish was cold cold. That went straight back. The roast dinners were warm at best. Very overpriced at starters £10 and roasts and pasta £19. We travelled 45 minutes to this place and will not be returning. We are travelling the Leicestershire area in search of the best Sunday roast.This most certainly wasn’t it, 👎🏾 At best a 5/10👎🏾

What a disappointing experience, we had booked a table of 4 for 1.30 pm for Sunday lunch. On entering the building first impressions were not good as it looked very tired and ropy. We were shown to our table and ordered our drinks, which all arrived at different times, where one arrived after others nearly finished theirs! We had ordered 3 gambas pill pill starters which when arrived, it was nothing like what was described on the menu. It seemed like 5 prawns on a hot plate of pasta sauce and tasted very poor. Three of us ordered a roast and one pasta dish, when arrived all the dishes were not piping hot and unfortunately the pasta dish had to be sent back. My pork belly should have come with shards of scratchings but nothing there. The only good thing was the gravy, witch saved the meat. I had to pay £2 extra for a flat and tasteless Yorkshire pudding when the dish was at a price of £17.95 which is quite a lot for a roast. The veg on the plate were very undercooked for my liking, even tho I like my veg with a crunch. I hope this review will help the chef to improve. Unfortunately we will not be going back.

Went on a Friday night, around 19.30, the restraunt is small and we were shown to our table inthe corner of the room. There were two other couples in the room, the lighting in the room was a little dark, so much so that my partner had to use the light on her phone to look at the menu. We were approached by the waiter to tell us that unfortunately there were a few items not available on the menu but there were also a few specials. He came back to take our drinks order, but once again there were some of the items on the drinks menu that were unavailable. We eventually order a drink, and began to order our food . As my first choice was unavailable ( moules marinare ) I plumped for thr mini mare, a fresh sea food selection another member of the party had asked a question about the chilli special. Another menber of staff came out to advise us the the chilli was infact a starter and was chilli arancini, so the menus had to come out again. 2mins later the staff member comes out again to tell me the mini mare has to be ordered in advance, asked where it says it has to be ordered in advance, he just replied, " on the menu" , well i couldn't see it, but hey ho. I ordered the steak an mushroom linguine. My wife ordered her customary steak, well done of course. The food arrived in good time, i also had the starter of oriental calamari, while tasty, the calamari wes a bit chewy, but hunger got the best of me and I finished the dish. The mains arrived, again in good time, but my portion of steak and mushroom linguine was, for the price a little meagre . My wifes steak while just about cooked well done, was over seared with a slightly acrid taste and alot of chewy central fat. So all in all not a good meal and for the price i expected alot better ☹️

I’m vegan and my daughter is vegetarian so felt reassured by the menus available on their website & the fact that they advertise both vegan & vegetarian options. However, no vegan options on the menu & upon request only 1 option available - burger. It was pleasant enough but no plant based cheese or mayo or mushrooms so a bit basic and seemed more like an afterthought. Come on it’s 2023 & we need a more sustainable diet! This lack of inspiration will never inspire the carnivores. What was more surprising was only 1 vegetarian main & it was garlic bread which I view as a side rather than a meal in itself. On the positive side, ambience was nice but we were only table for a short while before only one other party arrived so a little quiet. The service was attentive & very welcoming. They made an amazing mock tail with dry ice which was magical. Food overall was average. Fish n chips x 3 (strange, dry peas) & not enough tartar sauce. Boring french fries with burgers (both vegan & non). Although my daughter did enjoy her sausage, mash, normal peas & gravy. Would I return? No - sorry. Too many places serving far better food.

I have booked (well in advance) a table in the restaurant for 15 people for a dinner after my daughter First Holly communion. I was told there is a wedding on that day but if we arrive at 3:30pm it will be ready for us. On arrival we were allocated in the pub, by the bar and door to go to the smoking area and toilets! Not ideal for celebration with children under age of 8 and family members who travel all the way from different countries! When we complain, we were told the wedding is not finished and there is nothing they can do… After nearly an hour of phone calls to try to find alternative solutions we managed to book Waterfront. I wish to book this instead at the beginning! Staff at Oat Hill was not helpful at all and not apologetic after ruining family celebrations!

Great place for lunch, sandwiches were on another level. The dogs loved the chef when she came out personally to give them some chicken, great little touch.

Visited the oathill for the first time and did not disappoint. Staff were so welcoming and friendly, food was hot, fresh and delicious! We ordered the chicken and chorizo linguini as recommended by our lovely waitress. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was outstanding. Will definitely be returning

I attended the Harry Potter event and it was a fantastic night. The whole event was so well thought out with such great attention to detail. There were 7 courses and each and every one of them was absolutely delicious!

A fantastic night full of food, cocktails and live owls! The staff were fantastic throughout the night, the food was delicious and the cocktails complimented each course beautifully. The live owl experience being able to hold and fly them was just a brilliant touch. Everything...

Food and service we're fine but we were not warned at the time of booking that there was going to be karaoke in the bar. It was loud and mostly tuneless which rather prevented conversation. We won't be going back.

Absolutely top quality meal tonight, decided to pop in unplanned, all three of our dishes were spot on! Glad it’s back to an impressive level of quality. The seafood linguine was so fresh and the flavours married perfectly. The dressing on the crayfish bruschetta was...

We moved to Market Harborough 8 years ago and have used "The OatHill" as our local. A most delightful interior plus dining room with an extensive outside area. ALL staff are friendly and attentive and the manager, very professional and approachable. We have eaten here many times and the food NEVER disappoints. For several years we have celebrated Christmas at "The OatHill" and it has been absolutely fabulous! Would HIGHLY recommend a visit if you have never been!

I cannot recommend this pub enough. We had our wedding here on the 06.08.22 and it was just perfect from start to finish. Chris the owner of the pub made sure we had everything we needed, and that it all went smoothly. He was always on the phone if needed, and was always there to help. The food was amazing! And the cocktails delicious. Even If you aren't planning to get married here, the food and drinks are delicious. The garden area is beautiful, and the atmosphere is relaxing and a lovely location for a afternoon. I can recommend this pub enough, and am really sad my wedding is now over. But I will be back for more food and drinks very soon :)

Service was great and attentive, food was over priced and restricted, we were there for a light lunch but only full meals were available , would have been nice to have offered a light lunch selection , but the service was great and the garden was delightful.

Really excellent service , all staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Food really good too. We ate outside in the garden which is well maintained and a pleasant place to sit. We had our whippet with us and she was immediately offered a bowl of water which we appreciated. Definitely recommend

Been before a few years ago, this time for lunch , three courses £29 plus for supplements. Food was top quality , up with the very best restaurants in Leicestershire . Service also very good, in fact excellent all round and we’ll certainly be visiting again . The restaurant was virtually full so best to book,
