Old Thatched Inn at Stanton Under Bardon in Hinckley and Bosworth

Very friendly staff and tasty good value Sunday lunch. Chef had good banter with the family and the Landlady very friendly and approachable

Such a warm and welcoming pub. Sunday carvery is the best I've had in a long time! Overall great atmosphere and friendly staff. Look forward to another visit very soon.

Lovely cosy pub. Bar staff always welcoming. Nice to have a knock on the pool table with nice food. Nice big car park. Need 4 more words... yes!!!!

Sunday lunch at the Old Thatched Inn. The new landlord and lady, Mark, Cindy, Dan and all the staff I want to thank you all for our delicious meal. And your cheesecake was amazing. We enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend a visit. We certainly will be going back. 🫶🫶

Lovely for families with dogs they have large gardens and welcome our little four legged friends. If you get chance you must meet Luna the pub dog.

Thank you Cindy and family for an absolutely Sunday Lunch. Cauliflower cheese, Dauphinoise potatoes and the fluffiest Yorkshire pudding ever were all included in the carvery! There were seven in our party, including two children, and we were all made to feel welcome. The pub itself is warm and cosy, and, most important of all, dog friendly. Popular with the dogs also as there are always doggy nibbles on the bar. I would definitely recommend The Old Thatch Inn!

Had a beautiful home cooked carvery on Sunday.. the 3 roast meats were all cooked to perfection. So nice to see the veg all lovely and fresh.We were met with a warm welcome from the new land lady and the young chef came out and chatted with us after to make sure we were happy with our meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch and will definitely be returning. Don't be swayed by the poor reviews in the past it's been completed turned around and worth a visit!!

Great food and atmosphere Just wanted to thank the team for our very large family group celebrating our mum’s/nans birthday on Sunday. Everyone was so nice. The food was delicious. We often feel like we have imposed on pubs or restaurants as we are such a large group (22 plus a dog) but this time we were welcomed. Thank you so much. Welcoming patrons and staff 🐕‍🦺❤️❤️ can’t thank you enough 🥰

Sunday carvery is one of the best ive had...everything is fresh, loads of choice and great value for money. The perfect cosy place for a Sunday roast! Staff are lovely too. Will definitely be back

Lovely sunday lunch with the family. Food was spot on. Cosy pub and a warm welcome from the staff and owners. Will definitely be returning.

Great pub with very helpful and friendly staff, theres two sides to the pub which is great so you can have a dance with the disco lights on and juke box aswell as play games in one side, great pool table, darts, domino’s etc and then the other side is more for chilling out, cozy and they serve food, great selection of drinks, all round decent boozer! Would highly recommend Our new favourite pub!

The poor Thatch had been through some tough years and we've had a lot of temporary managers... Very hit and miss as to whether they are serving food or not... BUT.. We went on Friday for a Christmas party meal... The new people had only been in post for a week and honestly it was the best meal I've had in a long time. Really tasty, hot, well cooked and delicious. Compliments to the chef. Well done to Cindy and Mark for getting it on track quickly and the whole of Stanton really hope you can make it work.

Many thanks to the new management team at the Old Thatched. They have only been running the pub for 8 days and hosted our annual Christmas meal and pressie stealing game. THEY were very welcoming and the food was the best that I have eaten there.

Heard there was new owners so thought would nip down and am so glad I did, they are lovely, the pub is clean staff friendly and beer is spot on, will be returning very soon to try the food.

Fantastic, lovely food, lovely people, good vibes! Lovely new owners , and lovely space with good Christmas music.

Lovely cosy pub with very friendly staff. Delicious food and warm atmosphere. Also enjoyed a fruity cocktail with our dinner.

Food was so good, the hospitality was even better. Really friendly and always goes above and beyond. Will definitely return next month. Need to try the Barbie shots there so LUSH!!

Amazing dinner! Cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere from staff and management. Will definitely be returning, what a gem!

We visited here for Sunday lunch, the food was great and the staff really welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend

Can't rate this place highly enough. Sunny, the host was super friendly and welcoming. It was spotlessly clean and cozy, with a friendly atmosphere. Large drinks selection and lovely, modern decor and furniture. A must visit whenever in the area.

This pub was a treasure to find and held all the atmosphere you could want from a traditional village pub. The food was great value and tasted amazing alongside staff that were friendly and welcoming. With a cosy, warm interior and exceptional cleanliness, you couldn’t want anything more from a countryside pub. I look forward to visiting again.

Sunday carvery cold.. potatoes rock solid..veg freezing..meat l shredded and dry. Not worth the money . Oh and gravey like water. There was a few people complaining!

Went for lunch with the family and the food was great. Team were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Looks like they do a carvery on a Sunday as well which looked good value.

I went here the other day waited 5 mins for a drink whilst arguing with a couple who were were quiet polite and a larger lady who was a barmaid getting in another lady’s face whilst the gentleman whom I believe was the landlord stood there and didn’t say anything apart from what do you expect your taking me to court I think there is a time and a place to do this and in front of customers and the way they were to customers was not on where is the professional approach no one needed to see or hear the language or how they acted in front of of customers iv been in a couple times now and the lauguage used by staff and landlady is disgusting I won’t be returning and a few others in the village won’t be coming back again until the behaviours change behind the bar it was a lovely place until these guys took it on not the friendliest of people like the ones before that don’t even know there names

We called in here for the first time. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcome. Lovely pub to have drink and relax. Staff friendly. We stayed overnight in our motorhome. A quiet, safe spot to spend the night.

We have a motorhome and for the 1st time used the Britstops service which is a list (a book) of pubs and inns that offer motorhome users their carpark for an overnight stay.We contacted the Old Thatched Inn and asked if we could stay overnight.On arrival the landlady had selected a safe and private spot for us to use and had parked her own car there so that spot wouldn’t be taken.She and her family gave us an incredibly warm welcome.The Inn is a quaint , gentle welcoming place, warm wooden features, beautiful solid doors and a traditional stepping back in time feeling.We had a lovely meal, beef and ale pie which was piping hot and flavoursome.We wish the landlords the very best of luck in their relatively new venture in the Old Thatched Inn, If ever we are in the area again it will be our very first stop over.

Now under new management, come along and have one of our meals, in a nice friendly Pub try our 2 steaks and a bottle of wine on Thursday nights, or our burgers on a Friday let us feed you. We are now doing Sunday lunch in our restaurant just get in touch with us, we are always happy to see you and serve meals every day from 12 noon till 8 pm and until 4 pm on a Sunday

Called last night, food took 1 hour to arrive, starter was in a tatty tin dish. Main was on a childs plate, couldn't eat it without it spilling on the table, The whole place was dirty, the ceiling had been leaking and it was brown and disgusting. No excuses it should have been decorated before customer's came in.Could be a great place, but I get the impression the current owners just cant be bothered.

Always a great welcome from Mel & Shaun. Good beer, great food & friendly atmosphere, just what you want from your local pub.

We ate Christmas lunch at the Thatch last year when old managers ran it so decided to try it this year. AWFUL. Cold food, veg served on plate rather than separate dishes. One slice of turkey. Resembled a bad school dinner rather than a special meal priced at £40+. Will not eat there again.

Went for Sunday lunch, Sunday lunch was the worst Iv ever had, restaurant isn’t separated from the drunks around the pub. Staff are rude. There are a lot nicer local village pubs to eat at. Avoid at all costs

We visited on New Year’s Day. After our experience we contacted Marston’s and were advised someone would call us back within 7 days. 15 days later and still nothing- this what we sent to Marstons.......“We have visited this pub on numerous occasions in the past including New Years day for the past 3 years and always been impressed. We were a large group (11) but had booked weeks in advance. On arrival I ordered a tea and coffee from the bar together with some kids soft drinks. This was at approx. 12:30. I was immediately disappointed that the hot drinks were then made using a jar of instant Nescafé in the dining area and the tea was barely half a cup. After initially being directed to the wrong table (not enough seats) we placed our food order for 11 meals at 12:50. There were only two other tables occupied, but we waited.... and waited then at 13:30 we asked the waitress how long our food would be? She said this was because the kitchen was too small(!?) and they can't cope with tables of 10. At 13:50 we then asked again and were told it would be about 5 mins. Then at 14:10 the first meal came out on its own. We then waited until 14:15 before the final meal arrived - 1hr25 after ordering. My wife ordered the Fish&Chips off the main menu described as "battered in house" - what arrived looked like a frozen child's meal - we asked the waitress if we'd got the right dish - her response was that's how Marston's deliver it to them. We just can't understand from the poor quality of food provide how it could take this long. I have time stamped photos to support and would really appreciate if a Marston's representative could call me to discuss. There's more but I'm out of space”I can only conclude the staff and management just don’t care.

We booked a table many weeks ago for New Year's Day for 12 people. 12.30 pm was the table time. We sat there for ONE & A HALF HOURS. after our order was placed. My son was just about to walk out when the lady, we presume may have beenMelanie Willetts the Manager, who was running the pub single handed, brought the first meal out. The others followed after a short time. 5 of these dishes were ok, but the beer battered fish & chips looked like a piece of fish out of a Bird's eye frozen pack. The lasagne was horrible and the Burger ? WHen I told the lady we had waited so long all she said was the kitchen was very small and they had a very late night New Year's Eve. We paid and left with no proper apology or even a complimentary drink or any discount. The problem was they booked two large parties that were there at the same time and no staff to cope. A nice pub that we have used for years but today was disgusting -sorry to say with nothing god to say about it. Management training needed.

nice company brilliant meal all down to new landlord lets just hope he stays nice welcome and travellers still welcome

Popped into this local pub for a quick drink, good atmosphere, seemed very friendly, we will definately go back, it's on our doorstep.

Thanks to Sean and staff for a well organised lunch for 32 walkers yesterday. Extra staff on the bar and very friendly obliging staff. Well done!

Awful meal, hardly any vegetarian choices, sat outside in garden with weeds and grass knee high. Such a shame as the pub was so good. We always went there after walking dogs around the reservoir.

They say you only get one chance to make them. Friendly staff doing their best but when the kitchen doesn't have the ingredients for 2 out of 3 dishes you order you start to wonder.

sorry but never known a pub to go downhill so fast went for meal wuth freinds as usualy every other week but this week we went it was nothing like use to be cabbage vitually cold /gravy like water yorkshire was like pancake no sauces at the counter had to ask for them the gammon looked like it had neen hacked i suppose to see if it cooked thats before even dished up hardly anyone else in the restruant young girl serving was very helpful and couldnt do enough for us really surprised at whats happened still hope it gets sorted

It's only a few weeks since Phil and Tom left but the change (for the worse) has been dramatic. Service is now slow to the point of despair and the welcome non-existent. What a shame after all the hard work done by Phil and Tom.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Shockingly slow and incompetent service, cold and poor quality food. A waste of money, time and calories!! Avoid, avoid!!

Went here for Fathers Day with my daughter. Arrived, shown to our table , drink order taken and just left by the waitress. Could see the drinks on the bar sitting there for about 10 minutes. Eventually the licencee (I assume) brought them over. Still no waitress visit, so no menu. We could see the carvery which we both wanted so we joined the short queue, assuming that was the correct action.. (will come to the food later).....After the meal, the waitress collected the plates and gave us a menu. Then no revisit to take our order. She went around us, wiping tables and then gave a family their menu, took their order and gave them their food (in a staggered fashion I noticed). Still we sat there waiting for our order to be taken. Eventuall she came. I said nice Sunday Menu, why didnt you give us one at the beginning as we may have chosed something else. She informed us that chef is busy and they were not offering anything else! Still would have been nice to know! The food: I had 2 very thin slices of beef - I should have asked for another. Decent selection of veg, but only luke warm. The yorkshires resembled a pancake. I like mustard and horseradish with my beef, but they were the cheapest of the cheap. Mustard disgusting and horseradish as hot as whipped cream! Will not be returning. The licencee was a wet weekend and he obviously cant manage his staff to provide an acceptable level of service!

One of the worst Martsons meals ever. Use the Copt oak. Previously it has been great at the Thatch, but since the new management, service takes longer and quality diminished. I was told no chips available at 5:30 pm, it had only been serving food 30 mins, the battered fish was had rock hard batter and was more than overcooked. The bar maid Gemma was excellent.

Very quiet Friday evening, 3 people in the ‘snug’ at the bar, 2 people playing pool in the ‘games room’ and 2 tables of 4 eating.

To start - we ordered 3 dishes that came with mashed potato. After 10 mins waiter came back to say only enough mash for 1 dish.

Food gone downhill. Slow staff to take orders, food came out with gone off muscles which were bone dry like they have been microwaved and tasted vile and a lamb burger which was completely raw and cold... Felt sick for days.

This was a real find whilst on a walk with the dog. The pub is very pretty. The food is great value and tasty. Even my dog was made to feel very welcome! Wish there were more places like this- I will definitely be back.

Sunday Lunch. Nothing special. Pretty average fayre. Pleasant staff. Good car park. Clean toilets. Nice beer.

My wife and I plus hound stopped off at the Thatched Inn on our travels in our camper van. They kindly let us park in the car park over night. Great beer, great staff, great locals. made very welcome indeed and enjoyed the Sunday roasties left on the bar! :) If near you MUST pop in. We didn't eat a meal here but the menu looked good and plenty of diners! Dogs welcome in the bar area also.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Yorkshire after consulting Trip Advisor. The burgers were delicious, staff friendly and helpful and very dog friendly. There was water and treats for the dog. 3 meals from the lunch menu came to less than £15! Great food, great value. Toilets could have been cleaner

Only 2 of us so we took a chance and turned up without booking . They were busy but managed to seat us and the quality was very good - the meat portions were large - this is carved and served . you the help yourself and there was plenty of variety of fresh Vegetables .Mashed potatoes and roasts - nice Yorkshire puddings .

Another excellent Sunday roast. Although we were near the end of service at 3 pm Sunday, the vegetables roasties were fresh, and not over cooked, in fact a new selection came out just before we went up.

This wasn’t our first visit nor will it be our last! A great Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price! Family friendly and a homely atmosphere.

Visited The Thatch for late Sunday lunch, 3.30pm

The Thatched Inn is a lovely village pub offering an excellent selection of drinks and an impressive menu. They host regular events and there appears to be a real community feel to the place.

This was our first visit. We ate from the menu and from the excellent selection of homemade pies on offer that evening. All the food was very good. The pie selection was excellent, as were the help yourself vegetables. There are other themes on other evenings.

We called here on Wednesday for lunch. We were welcomed by Phil and Tom who showed us to a table. The menu is excellent with a good choice.

Our first visit to the Old Thatched Tavern and it was a great experience. The staff were welcoming to us and our young children. The food was just what we wanted and the boys have never eaten as much!

Good fresh food, a fine selection of drinks and food. Dog friendly. Allowed to pitch a motorhome as long as you go in for a drink and meal. Lovely village with superb walks. Would definitely recommend this establishment. Good parking and garden.

This is just what you would expect from an independent country pub. A warm welcome, excellent British bitter (Pedigree) that had obviously been cared for. The menu had a good selection without being silly and was very reasonably priced. The food was well prepared, tasty and plentiful.

the old thatched inn is a great country pub in a small village called Stanton under Bardon well worth finding there is a warm friendly welcome good beers and really great food and very good value

Attractive comfortable country pub. Great food, excellent value for money. Thank you to everyone. We'll be back.

Wonderful atmosphere for our 'family and friends' get together, ladies treated to a glass of fizz. Delicious, hot, ample sized portions both carvery and menu selections. Although it was extremely busy, the staff were faultless in their attentiveness at all times. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, will certainly be gracing their tables again.

This place has been turned completely around by Phil, Tom and the team. Good food, excellent beer and no bad language. Need to book for Sunday lunch and for their speciality events. If you went under the last licensees and was disappointed, please give it another go.

Arrived at the pub before a local wedding and my daughter was a flower girl, she was getting ready at the brides house when I got a text from the bride stating she wouldn't eat any of the food provided. The pub had laid on a buffet for the wedding guests and I asked if they could make a plate of food up for my daughter which they did straight away and also wrapped it up so I could deliver it. They where all very friendly and helpful. The buffet was amazing and the food for the christening the day before was lovely to.

Our local Public House. Perfect Pedigree ale (Top draw, Tom) and the mixed grill is excellent (Pure skill, Phil).

Had a fantastic evening on Saturday. Had a meal for my grandads birthday but it was also 'sammys birthday'

Arrived there on a Sunday after doing a walk around the area, were quite hungry but not sure as a carvery was the main option and we are vegetarians and they were fully booked. Asked what they could do for us and they said, without...

Was looking after the young Grandson on Friday who wished to play Pool. I Googled for pubs that had pool...

Phil y su familia han mejorado "la paja". Antes de que llegaran El pub estaba en una espiral descendente. Ya vinieron en tienen, lenta pero seguramente, giramos alrededor. Ahora es un gran pueblo y lleva la comunidad juntos. Visita para el domingo, es genial. Excelente...

Vine aquí con sus padres para la cena del domingo, la comida era variedad riquísima de 3 Carnes y mucha variedad de verduras. Podría agregar un desierto por sólo £2. Los postres estaban deliciosos. Definitivamente volveré.

Absolutamente fantástico pub ahora que está manejado por Phil. Él es un chef brillante y trabaja incansablemente para asegurarse de que todo el mundo come una comida estándar superior y se disfruta. Mi familia y yo fuimos a la noche temática medieval que celebró la semana pasada. Tuvimos un banquete! ! Estaba delicioso! Este pub está literalmente el mejor alrededor. No dude en visitar! Volveremos muy pronto.

Prueba este pub. Los nuevos propietarios han hecho un enorme esfuerzo para poner este pub village de vuelta en el mapa asador gran almuerzo de domingo y noches temáticas durante la semana. Aparcamiento jardín para viajeros Pub una noche y cerca de la M1

Lovely friendly pub, made us really welcome. Really good food and plenty to chose from on the menu, suitable for every taste

We visited yesterday for Mothering Sunday and all had the carvery. The meat and choice of vegetables was great and the food and service excellent. The place was quite busy and they did not inflate the prices. There was a good choice of desserts all priced at £2 and were homemade. A great little place with a nice atmosphere, we shall definitely be visiting again.

Having been here a while back and not being impressed to say the least some friends suggested that as its under new management we give it a try. Is it better? Marginally I have to say. There were only a about four or five tables occupied so it wasn’t overly busy for 8pm on a Saturday. The staff were pleasant enough but showed a lack of training – we had barely picked up the menu when we were asked if we were ready to order and at the end of the meal were asked would we like coffee or the bill! I don’t think that the staff were at fault but more the training or lack of is the issue. The food was OK but keeping to steaks is usually a safe option. I’m not sure as to whether Marstons or the Phoenix Pub Group own the place but either way something is still lacking in the overall plan for turning the place round. Definitely won’t rush back until I’m convinced that all is well.

We tend to go after walking our dog as the pub is dog friendly good choice of food and a good carvey and lots of roast potatoes and vegetables plus good gravyThe staff are very friendly and helpful

We have been visiting the thatched Inn for a few years now. October 2016 saw it change hands and Phil, his wife and son Tom have already turned the restaurant round bringing with him an excellent reputation along with excellent home cooking. We have eaten at night and Sunday carvery and have always been very satisfied with everything. The Burns night with haggis and the works was brilliant with a full restaurant. I have already booked again for valentines night and intend booking for their special back to school themed night in March.

I thoroughly enjoyed the recent Burns Night in this lovely old pub / restaurant . It has friendly new owners and a nice warm atmosphere ..... no swearing loud mouths !! This was their 1st ever Burns event & as a true Scot I will happily say it was extremely well done and enjoyed by a good crowd ! The traditional fayre was Scottish food all tasty, cooked well the Haggis delicious too . My only comment would be bigger soup bowls please as the cock a leekie soup was wonderful ! Thank you Phil & Claire plus staff for making it a special night for everyone Good luck for the future and all your events .

A great meal, good value for money and cooked as you like it. Service is second to none and everyone is made to feel welcome

Went here with a walking group of 25 people on a Tuesday morning, they opened for us at 9.30 so that we could pre order our lunch and use the toilets. On returning just before 1, we were quickly sorted with our drinks, then sat down and within 10 mins all our meals had been delivered.The food was of a high quality and with a 2 for 1 deal was of very good value. What also impressed was that there was a good choice of meals and some different vegetarian choices, which is always good to see.The owners, I think they are new, a father and son, were very friendly and welcoming. I would certainly recommend it for walking groups, indeed for anyone looking for a nice relaxing meal. There seemed to be a lot of different things going on in the run up to Christmas

Decided to give the Thatch a try for a last minute Saturday evening meal and arrived at around 7.20 or so. There was only four people in the bar, family in the games room, no-one behind the bar and the restaurant without a light on nor a customer in site. The menu look extensive but not the place to go on a Saturday - or probably ant other night for that matter. It really has a lot of potential but is tired and appears that whoever runs it isn't to concerned about it. Very odd.

Booked a table here for 7pm on a Saturday night. We have been here in the past and had great meal's but this sadly will be our last visit. On arrival stood in bar area for nearly 5 min nobody behind bar no one to show us were to our table. Eventually served and seated and drinks ordered. Food order taken then after drink's arrived landlady or woman in charge disappeared again sat outside chatting and smoking. Starter's arrived after about 10 min breaded mushroom's overcooked so hard shot off plate when you tried to cut them. Two mains of scampi also overcooked. Food on the whole is not to bad for what you pay drinks reasonable also just service let it down felt like a paying inconvenience to the landlady than a customer! Will not be returning.

A pub standing alone in a village, should be buzzing with locals, serving great food and a pleasant retreat for all. Visit this pub if you want to hear the regulars swearing constantly and the bar staff enjoying the drink as much as the paying guests. Marston Brewery need to get a grip.

This is a Marstons pub so good for a decent pint of pedigree. Have a food menu somewhat similar to Wetherspoons but better quality food. Staff are friendly, food and drink are reasonable prices. Free pool on a Tuesday, and free jukebox on a Friday.

This is an amazing oldy worldy style pub with traditional ales/beers and a superb selection of wines. I have eaten here several times and always been impressed with the quality of the food. Walkers, dogs and families are welcome.

We had one of the best pub lunches here today. So friendly, very extensive menu, dog and child friendly (there is a play table and toys). The food was exactly what we ordered and good quality for the very reasonable price. It's on our list to return when in the area

Been here three times now for lunch. Good food and great price. Weekday lunchtimes are usually quiet. Friendly staff.

Visited on Mothering Sunday for lunch, the staff were very welcoming and it's a nice building....however then came the foodStarter looked like cat food...passing as pate.Beef meal seemed like a Micronesia straight from the freezer....Didn't stay for pudding....should of gone to McDonalds...Never been back and I live 300 yards away...rest my caseOh and the locals can be off with you if they don't know who you are...just a warning

Stopped here as it is close to motorway (M1). Warm welcome from the landlords.Good food and surprised at how quiet the place was on a Saturday.

We stopped off at this pub for a meal, mainly because they allow dogs. While there, we received very quick service and all of the staff were very accommodating. Food was amazing, will defiantly be returning.

We saw this lovely pub and just had to break off our walk to have a drink and see if another day it would be good for a meal.Friendly service and food looked great, we will probably have a meal on another occasion.
