Old Vicarage in Blaby

We had a lovely lunch, a special birthday for my Mum. There were 5 of us altogether and we all complimented the food. The portion sizes of the lunch specials are perfect, although there are options to have full sized portions too for those with bigger appetites or who like their main meal at lunch time. It wasn't overly clear how to order the food initially but once we copped the QR code, it was seamless. We brought in a cake for my Mum and the staff brought this out and sung to my Mum which was lovely and even gave us plates so we could tuck in, a nice touch. We will be back and we will definitely recommend to our friends.

Visited Saturday night 12/4, first of all I found the place to be a bit run down, the tables and some of fittings definitely need a bit of attention. One person behind the bar taking orders, so there was a bit of a wait. The food however was good except for my daughters burger that was burnt. Would visit again.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere!!. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend a visit

Helpful friendly staff.Good choices of food on the menu.Reasonable prices for food and drink. Great atmosphere.

Went for early dinner, food was very nice, can recommend the fish and chips. Chose the time well as filled up quite quickly after we arrived

Nice food at reasonable prices.

Ordered three meals, Fish & chips, gammon and kids fish fingers, chips & beans with garlic bread side. The first two plates were just about ok but the fish fingers were way overdone, the beans were tasteless and bland and the garlic bread had a tiny drizzle of garlic butter on and was very doughy, like it had spent 10 seconds on the griddle. I did bring it to their attention, they could see our complaint and offered my son as a replacement, a couple of sausages which he didn't want, some Ice Cream, but they didn't have vanilla, or a chocolate brownie??? He's not even had a main course! Then he offered me something?? I'd had my food. If someone can't put a few fishfingers in an airfryer without over doing them and can't put together a decent bit of garlic bread then something is seriously wrong. The place was almost empty so no excuses. This is the 3rd time we've had issues there and there won't be a 4th.. which is a shame because I like the pub but won't eat there again. On the other hand, the Marstons pub up the road, The Glen Parva Manor is spot on everytime

Very lovely place to come for a few drinks with family

Come here weekly, staff are lovely! Food is great! Dog friendly, fabulous local, family pub!

Really great atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Prices are good. The service was great and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend The Old Vicarage

The staff were very helpful and very friendly especially Lucy and Gemma, food was lovely and hot.

Waitress friendly as always and food amazing. We love coming as regulars and wouldn’t go anywhere else

Easy to book, using the website. Staff were attentive, polite & friendly. Enjoyable food, reasonably priced.

We had an excellent reception at The Old Vicarage after a family funeral. The food was exactly as described (and the chips were fantastic!) and it was all ready on time in the rear section which had been reserved for us. We chose the Silver buffet and nobody went away hungry. There were several people in the group complementing on the nice food. Would definitely book again.

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Easy ordering. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Lovely and clean. Definitely go back again. Thank you for a lovely evening xxx

Another good meal today, 8 ounce gammon, even better with the 30%discount voucher!

Pub Grub. Good value. Good choice of beers.

Nice place for a catch up with some old friends

Bar staff were very pleasant girls serving food were very professional apart from saying yeeee haaa when she served my son his cowboy burger but had the laugh about it highly recommended

My meal portion size (eg Green Thai syle curry) was very small and very poorly presented (clearly been sat on the hotplate under the heat lamps for too long), not worth the £11.29 charge. I complained and was eventually offer a replacement meal; I chose Beef Chilli which was a more reasonable value for money. After our meal we wanted coffees but you did not do decaffeinated coffee, nor basic speciality teas. We left, very disappointed and very dissatisfied. Won't be going again.

Me and my mum were greeted at the bar and we were then seated. Although we were a little early but we was told that was fine. When our food came a lady called Annie-May handed us our food and checked on us.

Great atmosphere good food extensive menu

The service was done with smile and was very efficient

Joseph provided us with a wonderful service, the meal was excellent.

You was like really good and stuff. Cheers babes

I’ve been here a few times, always lovely service, staff are lovely food is lovely no complaints from me, always love seeing all the lovely doggies in the pub also :)

Nice pub,polite and helpful staff.

Annie May served us and was so helpful especially as I am Coeliac so required gluten free menu. All staff so polite and welcoming. Would definitely recommend 🥂

We haven’t been to the Vicarage for a very long time as feel it needs updating, however we were so pleased to see the really lovely Julie again. We remembered her from before, so personable, caring and made you feel like you were the only ones she’d seen that day. An absolute total asset to Marstons Brewery. We’ll be coming again if only to see her. Thank you x we’ve been again tonight, we were served by Annie-Marie, she was so lovely and a credit to you. We’ll be back xx

The staff are amazing, love them all. So welcoming. Food is beautiful and such a joy to be in there. We go every weekend and a few nights in the week also. Love it, keep going guys you are doing great xxxx

Had a wonderful meal at the Vicarage , food was delicious, service was amazing and the stafv were really lovely, highly recommended

Really like this place. Welcoming, warm, light, spacious, good service, good food, good prices, dog friendly. Can't fault it.

Love the girls Always great service and lovely food

A lovely atmosphere on Friday night, great food and service. Thanks to Lucy and all the team !!

¡No entren, gente de más de 6! Horrible, la comida estaba fría y seca. El servicio estaba por todo el lugar, pero la señora con cabello castaño oscuro (gerente) era genial para nosotros. Nunca regresaré lo siento, fue impactante.

Lovely staff and enjoy our visits. From Early doors drinks , food or more recently the six nations. Always a good night

What can I say , our local and how lucky we are having The Vicarage on our door step, to many lovely pubs closing. Early doors always enjoyable, come back from work and grab a lovely meal or weekend drinks with friends. Six nations is now upon us and the big screen is up and looking forward to watching with a few drinks and lovely atmosphere, something always guaranteed. Would also like to thank the staff, you do an amazing job and can see they all work so well with each other.

The Old Vicarage is a truly exceptional pub, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The food is nothing short of outstanding, and with its top-notch service and cozy ambiance, every visit feels special.

The staff are great Lucy and her team are great 👍🏻 we love are Friday evenings down here.. Food is really good so I treat myself every Friday 😋

¡Tuve una experiencia absolutamente fantástica en The Whetstone Vicarage Pub! Desde el momento en que entramos, nos recibieron con cálida hospitalidad y un ambiente acogedor. La decoración es encantadora, combinando el carácter clásico del pub con un toque moderno, lo que lo convierte en el lugar perfecto tanto para bebidas casuales como para una comida abundante. La comida era excepcional — bien preparada, bellamente presentada, y llena de sabor. Recomiendo encarecidamente el asado del domingo; la carne estaba tierna, los pudines de Yorkshire estaban perfectamente crujientes y la salsa estaba rica y deliciosa. El menú ofrece una gran variedad, atendiendo a todos los gustos, incluyendo vegetarianos y aquellos que buscan opciones más ligeras. La selección de bebidas fue igualmente impresionante, con una fantástica gama de cervezas, cervezas y vinos. El personal del bar estaba bien informado y encantado de ofrecer recomendaciones basadas en nuestras preferencias. El servicio fue de primera - de primera categoría en todo - amable, atento y eficiente sin ser intrusivo. Está claro que el personal se enorgullece de crear una experiencia acogedora y agradable para sus huéspedes. Ya sea que vayas a tomar una pinta rápida o una comida completa, The Whetstone Vicarage te lo ofrece en todos los frentes. Definitivamente volveré pronto! Muy recomendable!

Quiet night but still felt welcoming good efficient service

Great choice of food. Good service. Food cooked well and nice and hot. Good deals through out the week, eg curry nights, steak nights etc.

Knocked one out the park again! Absolutely perfect rump steaks and everything else on the plates was spot on too. 10/10. Looking forward to our next meal. Thanks to all the staff.

Positively awful!!! There is absolutely nothing good to say, I wish there were. They missed a meal off our order and when it eventually arrived a medium rare steak was like shoe leather. No apologies and zero customer service. A truly terrible experience which I will never repeat! Sub standard all the way but premium prices. Not only did the food ruin our dining experience but having to listen to a moronic bingo session clinched the low standards of the establishment!

Love coming to The Vicarage. All 4 of us enjoyed a lovely meal . Very friendly staff. Young lad came to our table to take our order so we didn’t have to queue at the bar. Little bit of a wait for food but it was quite busy. Thank you

Food pretty average but reasonably priced. Surroundings in need of renovations.

A lovely lunch on a Saturday good service lovely staff warm atmosphere ..

Really great food and service , great deal , pie and a drink for £11.75 on a Monday , really enjoyed it , great value and Dog friendly.

Consistently good food at reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Lovely pub grub. Order online with multiple options for adding or removing items, or making the meal "light". Very quiet as it was just into the new year. Room a bit cold.

The staff are friendly and welcoming and the Sunday roast was delicious!!

Food was lovely. My only minor issue is that I was with a party of around 12 people and despitefully requesting that the meals arrived at the same time this did not happen. That said we all enjoyed our evening.

We thought we would give The Vicarage another try after numerous disappointments. We weren't inspired to go again. Overpriced beer that wasn't cold & didn't hold a head on the glass after sip 2. Regretfully won't be going again.

Came for Christmas day lunch, all meals were to a good standard for cost, staff really accommodating and friendly especially Lina and Julie who made my 86 year old dad's Christmas with a Christmas kiss! Be back next year

Lovely time at our breakfast with Santa, the children loved it!

Breakfast with Santa. Grandchildren were very excited and you didn't disappoint. Lovely warm welcome, gift of a colouring set on arrival, Santa hats on the chairs, Drinks station - brilliant. Fantastic cooked breakfast for us all. Santa visited every table more than once.Then a picture with Santa and a Christmas gift!! This was the best value for money. Shall definitely take the grandchildren again and if you didn't get chance to go then you must go next year if the vicarage repeats this. Very impressive x Jane, auntie Amie, Isla and Frankie - thank you

Arrived for breakfast with Santa , all the staff & Santa I can’t fault they were very welcoming & worked hard getting the food out . The food was appalling . The bacon looked raw , baked beans cold, in fact the whole breakfast was stone cold you just couldn’t eat it , it was also very tasteless .one question I would like to ask is why didn’t the bacon get grilled to give it at least some colour & taste . The breakfasts were replaced but still appalling . The duty manager was fantastic with the children and actually gave my grandson a dairy free box of goodies . Thankyou for that .

My granddaughter & her boyfriend came down from York to have Sunday lunch with us. Myself my daughter and son in law - and of course Dave the dog. We had a mixture of Sunday roasts and vegetarian meals from the menu. The food and service were excellent and even our dog enjoyed his chicken breast and pigs in blankets !! Everyone said how much they’d enjoyed their meals, the service and the atmosphere. They all said how much they’d enjoyed the whole experience - including our dog. The Sunday roasts were really good with plenty of good food., and there was a good choice of vegetarian dishes. All in all a fantastic lunch out with family.

Some of our party were delayed so we thought they might miss our annual Christmas get together. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and allowed us to wait for them to arrive before bringing through the meals. The quality of food was really good and the price was very competitive. Our first two choices had been unavailable so the Old Vicarage had initially been one of the only options available but after the quality of service and the quality of the food, it will be our first choice next year! Our servers were lovely and very attentive without being pushy. Highly recommended!

Excellent meal. Excellent staff. And a guy behind the bar who massively knew his stuff about ale and gin. Will definitely be returning

Went this evening with my mum for dinner and the food was not as good as usual her chips and peas were cold and her desert was not as described on the menu and it obviously wasn't up to the usual standard

Bar Staff / Waitresses were welcoming and accomodating. Nothing was any problem. We'll definitely be back.

We had to wait for over an hour for our Sunday Roast, the only veg that arrived with the roast beef was red cabbage, surely there should have been something besides this. The meal was not hot just warm. The dessert was fab tho.

Great food great staff ...will be back!

Me and my dad nipped in today for some lunch! Got served by a lovely lady called Annie i believe! Excellent service and quality food:) Michael

This is the 2nd year we have been to the old vicarage at whetstone for the festive Christmas lunch. The food and service was out standing, and the value for the 3 course meal was very good. Would recommend to family and friends.

Nice relaxed atmosphere, very clean pub with a good choice of beer, and excellent pub food that doesn't cost a fortune. .

I'd like to say the meals at the old vicarage was delicious, all the staff are very friendly and helpful but one member of staff Joseph went above and beyond last night. This guy was amazing and is a credit to your establishment.

We are a family of thirteen aged from 9 to 76 who enjoy to getting together to celebrate in a relaxed setting. We had a great time, everyone had exactly what was ordered (including fussy teenagers and adult with intolerances). Food was served promptly and politely, was hot and tasty and every plate was clean. The manager went out of her way to accommodate us. Very pleased. Will be visiting again.

Food is always good and staff r polite and helpful

The service is always spot on & the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

Only there for the beer. Which was Pedigree, so no problem there. Not really a drinking pub, more a restaurant.

Very nice atmosphere, lovely food and waiters. I had the festive Mac and cheese and the pigs in blankets made it perfect.

A great venue for our Christmas do. Does what is says on the tin, Good value. The hake was sumptuous!

Had a festive burger really nice instead of Turkey. Good choice of meals.

The two employees that served us, Lucy, Joe and Daisy is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was very tasty and the environment is very good. I love the Old Vicarage. And the Apple Crumble was very good.

Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, good prices and clean and airy venue

This is a great place to eat drink and be with family

Absolutely lovely place. New manager has arrived so let's see we're that takes the place. Although the staff seem to be very stretched at times, they carry out their sometimes stressful tasks with smiley ☺️ face's. Very good overall 👌 👏 👍

Fabulous night at the Tuesday Quiz, always a fun night. Questions are pitched to get your brain working but still of a level where the team can have a reasonable shot at the correct answers. Love the new dimension of making up a team name for extra points.

Went for a meal for my sisters 21st birthday, food was nice and the staff were friendly, have to mention Annie as she made my sister feel so comfortable and was so sweet to her as my sister has autism and overall made her experience a good one. Thank you so much

We had an excellent experience whilst visiting friends for the weekend. The staff were really attentive and there was a fantastic range of food and drinks available. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and we will certainly come back again.

Staff were very polite and helpful and the food was lovely will definitely go back

Clean friendly & and good meals

Just enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the Old Vicarage in Whetstone, Leics. The staff were very helpful and the food was delicious.

Staff were good, but they had very little food in stock, really no choice at all, they only had one steak, which was a bit ropey. Shall not go there again.

Lovely place always get a service with a smile

Kids portions are huge but food is reliably good

Thank you to Joe who served us last week. Service with a smile and very polite, made our visit a whole lot better and will definitely be returning. Thank you :-)

Lovely food, excellent value and friendly staff

Food isn't bad, good value. Busy and not their fault some parents can't control their offspring Service is friendly but slow. Not sure if steak advertised as sirloin isn't rump but taste ok

The service was very good. The Sunday roast was good apart from the fact that the roast potatoes and the Yorkshire puddings could have been crispier.

Came in on friday afternoon, was very busy but the waitress called julie who served us was very friendly and welcoming, very happy with the service

We had a wake for 30 people everything was so well organised and the staff were very attentive, the buffet we ordered was very fresh and lots of choice .

Lovely meal served by the lovely waitress julie (5*) stayed till about 8 and the young man on the bar Joe served us with a happy smile. Definitely recommend visiting both 5 star

Great service in the afternoon from Julie!

We was driving along and seen this beautifully looking pub so we decided to stop for abit of lunch..great facilities very clean and lovely food the waitress who served us I couldn’t ask for a more bubbly friendly person I believe her name was Julie ever so polite and really made us chuckle witch allways helps she put us in such a bright mood with her personality so it was a great environment great staff and really good food be sure to check this place out .

Really nice food and drink selection. My daughters steak wasn't cooked quite enough and they happily took it back and cooked it to her liking in addition to refreshing the plate. Lovely staff. Definitely be back there again.

On Monday the 21/10/24 my wife and I came over for the bingo and a meal the bingo is great fun and the meal was enjoyable Julie is great at calling the bingo and a great waitress after bingo Julie goes back into waitress mode setting up the tables ready for anyone having a meal the next day Julie gets 5 stars for her bingo and 5 stars for waitressing skills

Lovely food ,we were lucky to arrive on on a day when the sirloin was reduced by 30% + real beer reduced also 😋 😀. Really good experience 😀 😋
