The staff were amazing, welcoming, efficient and a true asset. Special mention to Tom and the lady who served us (sorry didn't ask your name!). A large party in but didn't feel neglected at all. The chef came out to ask if food was OK and happy to confirm it was delicious, especially the cauliflower cheese!! Sunday lunch served hot and with extra gravy if desired. Weather atrocious so can't wait to return on a sunny day 😎 😍.

We have been here today 19th November. We were very pleased with the Sunday lunch well worth the money. We had roast beef and turkey for main which was delightful no complaints. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Definitely be back. 👍👌

OK I want to mention the staff first because they were great! Makes a big difference when you feel warmly welcomed. I didn't get all their names but it was the staff serving Monday lunch time. There were 8 of us but our meals were served quickly! All of us agreed the food was a definite thumbs up!! 3 of us had fish and chips and the fish was fresh, crispy and huge! The restaurant is small but invitingly cosy with a lovely view of the canal. Lots of parking spaces too. Afterwards, a lovely kind Petra offered to help take some group photo's as it was my Mum's birthday. Thank you to all the staff including chef for a wonderful day! A MUST visit if you're in the area.

I would have never had known about this hidden gem until taking a boat trip on the river soar with friends. Strange place to get to, down a very narrow winding lane. Absolutely stunning location! Overlooking the marina plus great outdoor seating . The inside is also very pleasant. The menu isn’t huge but all cooked fresh- two of our ladies had steak apparently it was delicious!/some had fish & chips and other choices. All came at the same time, which is important, butthe downside is we did have to wait quite a while = despite pre ordered. We arrived at 1pm had drinks but did not eat until 1.50pm when we all were starving hungry But we must say, it was well worth the long wait Great place for lunch with friends, and the service is brilliant. thank you all so much Also a fab place for a morning coffee, and delicious scone. Looking forward to visiting again shortly

Beautiful tranquil setting overlooking an Immaculately kept marina. The menu is imaginative and the food looks as fantastic as it tastes. We had great service and were lucky to meet Gianna who is the very characterful proprietor of the marina. Overall a great experience, and we can’t wait to go back.

Had a great meal last night on the warmest evening of the year !! Fantastic location - Starter was absolutely perfect. My main was nice. Although I wished I’d chosen the beef dish my friend had , that was absolutely lovely looking. The staff were really good. Very attentive. The price was really reasonable - good value. Will definitely return before the winter !

Really disappointed. The lady that took our order got it completely wrong. One of us explained that we were vegan and no eggs on the plate but the breakfast arrived with eggs. It took quite a long time to be served initially despite not many customers in there. My friend was served the wrong coffee and both of our coffees were no better than warm at best. On our last visit all 3 of the disabled spaces were taken up with super cars which we were informed were the owners of the restaurant. It’s such a shame as the setting is lovely, overlooking the lock. Very overpriced which I guess is due to the location.

We came here after ghosting great reviews and was really wanting To try the Sunday lunch menu. We got here easy to find with sat Mac and plenty of parking. They’ve done amazing job on the interior and exterior. The food was amazing 2x beef 1x burger 1x nut-roast. The nut-roast was dry but everything extremely good! Desserts came and had to be re done as they were coke but tasted delicious. Would only give a 4 as staff forgot to come to us a few times and has to wait a lot. The bill was wrong at the end added extra £30 which luckily got took off. Would definitely return and can’t wait to try other menu

The staff are attentive and friendly, We both agreed the Sunday lunch was quite simply the best we have ever enjoyed. I had roast beef and my partner had chicken supreme, both were perfect. The cauliflower cheese was delicious snd well worth the additional charge. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It had prompted me to post my first ever Review.

The food and atmosphere was lovely but I was very disappointed as they offered GF brunch alternatives on the menu and when I booked the table I specified one person was gluten free but upon arrival they said they had no gluten free bread which meant I could only have the traditional breakfast with no sausages or toast - I wouldn’t have been able to eat anything if I was vegetarian or vegan. Restaurants shouldn’t offer to cater for people with dietary needs if they can’t actually accommodate. Was very disappointed as I had booked a while in advance and specified on booking.

Leaving this review on behalf of my wife who visited at 10am on Saturday 28th Aug with her friend.She did not book ahead but arrived expecting to be able to have breakfast with her friend and she was told they were ‘fully booked’ and that she should have booked ahead.Out of all the tables outdoors (about 15) there were only 2 (TWO) tables taken, the rest empty.So she was very disappointed but she has been before and enjoyed the meal etc so not leaving a one star review, more of a warning that you should pre-book instead of just turning up on spec as they might turn you away even though the place looks empty.They must be raking the money in if they are turning away business!

If you’re on a canoe trip and want to pop in for a drink or bite to eat, I wouldn’t bother. 2 years in a row now we’ve had nothing but animosity. Try to moor up, it’s not the right place, try to order something, you’re not doing it right. In summary, if you have a boat there and pay for a mooring, they’ll treat you like royalty, if not, you may as well be invaders from the “wrong side of the street”.Poor!

I visited for Sunday lunch and was under the impression that only set roast dinners were available so I managed down my expectations.The menu did include several roasts but also a selection of other dishes that included several things that I would have been happy to order. The “set” dinner meant that we had to order a minimum of two courses and our waitress checked that we had understood this before taking our order. The food was very good and the setting is great, it wasn’t too busy and it was a sunny day. Great combination.I recommend booking a table if you plan to go for Sunday lunch.

Oh dear what is going on at Pillings Lock. We have eaten here over the last few years and always had a great time with excellent food and service but this year things appear to be rapidly going downhill. We have had two trips recently and both times the food was very poor. The second time the service was very poor, orders were not taken correctly and the food was so poor that all of my guests (and I had recommended we go there) commented on how bad it was. Steaks which cost nearly £20 were full of stringy fat and were not cooked as requested. Fish was dry and starters were uninspiring. I have always loved eating here, it’s a wonderful location but I suspect that there has been a change of chefs as I did not recognise those on this trip. I really really hope things get better but for the moment we will have to eat elsewhere.

Been coming here for many years. The setting is amazing and on a warm sunny day, you can believe you are on holiday abroad somewhere. However, since the change in management, the restaurant itself has gone massively down hill. The food was never cheap, but the quality and service was always worth it. But now it seems to have gotten even more expensive with lower quality and rubbish service. I was there recently and overheard the manager talking about some of the boaters like they were dirt. Very unprofessional. And by talking to the boaters you get a feel they are not happy either. Don’t think I will be coming again for while, I really hope it gets better.

There's not a lot to do other than walk (unless you have a boat moored there or hire one to use) but it's a great afternoon escape.

So tonight 26/04/19 myself my wife and two friends visited this fabulous venue for the 3rd time, again even though the weather was not good the views from inside the Restaurant through the big bi-fold glass doors was just superb, tonight the place had a real good buzz as there was one large party with a table of 9 and a few more smaller party’s , we was shown to our table and ordered the drinks which was promptly served we all ordered the same food from the excellent menu and as we watched the skilled chefs prepare what we ordered from our table (the small but older compact kitchen is visible from the restaurant) the chefs at Pillings are all very professional and the food was prepared and cooked to order when it arrived to our table yet again as always we was not disappointed, this has to be one of our all time favourite venues to visit both day time and evenings and we highly recommend anyone to pay this place a visit if your looking for a venue and setting that is unique. Pillings Boat house gets a 5* rating from us yet again .

There was still ten minutes of breakfast left? Anyway, disappointed, we still stayed and had drinks. To say the staff are happy in their job?! I didn’t see one member of staff smile, very robotic and miserable. Didn’t seem friendly and quite pretentious.

Sheila who was in charge, had great Leadership about her. There was no Customers to my knowledge who had to wait long as Sheila had this all in hand. She made sure the waiting staff knew what they was doing while being friendly and having a nice atmosphere to work in which resulted in better service being given to Customers. I even witnessed Sheila checking that the Chefs was ok and if they needed anything. Management, please note, Sheila really is a Credit to you.

I love the breakfast here, especially the eggs Florentine. I always get the hollondaise on the side and it comes in a big gravy boat. Beautiful location, friendly staff, would highly recommend!

I used to love this place great food beautiful location ! The last fee times it just seems to be going down hill ! Greasy breakfast no idea how to make eggs fried burnt and scrambled tasted like a Foo Yong ! Also very over priced 2 drinks a breakfast and kids meal £19.50 !!!!!! We did get 10% off for the inedible scrambled eggs. A real shame as such a beautiful location !

Wow what's gone wrong here used to enjoy the breakfast ..Not this time smaller portions half a tomato , half a mushroom ( yes half a mushroom) man on the next table questioned this and was given a feeble answer ..Also the tiniest teapot ever !!!! Didn't fill my cup , needed a refill which eventually arrived..Some staff were chatting behind the counter as one girl tried to manage on her own , Was a good place for breakfast but not now it seems...Did mention it to the girl as I paid but was told will mention it to the manager .....Come on Pillings Lock get back to your usual high standards

The menu here is interesting and full of tasty choices. There are many enjoyable things to eat and drink amidst a wonderful view. On a clement day the al fresco dining is to be savoured and great service just adds to the experience.

If you like boating, or looking at boats, this is the place to be. Small café with average food and decent prices.

We've eaten here several times, the staff are friendly and efficient, the food has always been very good and the atmosphere is great. With the views over the marina, on a sunny day it's just like being on holiday!

Waited 20 minutes or so for over done sausage under cooked mushroom a standard black pudding and hash browns from iceland or somewhere similar not what i was expecting for £10.50 the setting is great but the breakfast leaves a little to be desired.

This is a smashing little restaurant. Whether you're meeting friends for coffee or sharing a meal, staff are very friendly and obliging. Place is immaculately clean. Fish cakes every time for me - they're fabulous.

Service is very friendly so no problem there. The soup starter tasted watery and sweet not nice although well presented. A number of our party had lamb Sunday lunch, the lamb was so tough that we had to ask for steak knifes to cut it. The Yorkshire puddings were also rock hard. I had a burger and it was dull, I left half of it as it was tasteless. Shame really as it was a family meal out.

Stopped off for a coffee on our walk and found the service to be very poor. The place was not busy but the staff did not seem bothered whether you were being served or not. Once the money had been taken the chap disappeared and then had to be prompted by someone else to get the coffees, this lady seemed more interested in getting herself a breakfast that attending to her customers! The cafe latte arrived in a small cup with no biscuit (which has changed since the last time we visited) and cost a whopping £2.70 each. Definitely not value for money which is a shame as it is so pleasurable sitting outside on a sunny autumn/winter day.

A great venue for a chilled Sunday brunch. Generous portions and good quality ingredients. They seemed a bit overwhelmed with the volume of customers and the coffees took a while to arrive, but it was worth the wait as the food was good.

A great place on a sunny day - this was October and it was lovely and warm outside. Nice hot chocolate and tasty savoury scone. Good friendly and efficient staff and what looked to be a hood selection of cakes.

Went for a simple lunch on a beautiful Monday in late September, just before dropping off our daughter at the university. The marina is a peaceful, calming spot in the sunshine (boats, ducks, geese etc). Ham, egg, onion rings and fat chips (10.95). Home cooked ham was properly that - generous thick slices, and the chips were the best I’ve had in a long while. Hot, really crisp on the outside and properly light in the middle. Yum. Others had a freshly prepared chicken Caesar salad (12.95), and The Summer Stack (10.50), which is grilled chicken with mozzarella and pesto, both reported as good. Drinks included a large glass of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc at £5.85. Total bill for 3 came to £43. Good and friendly service. Easy parking.

Lovely cafe/bar at the marina with views of the boats and pleasant outlook over the water. Food is good and just a great place to chill on a sunny day. Open long hours which makes it very accessible.

We picked the Waterbridge for my Mum's wake after it being recommended and we were not disappointed. Annette was extremely helpful from start to finish. Premises are lovely, food was absolutely great, so friendly and welcoming. They made a difficult time and day so much easier. Thankyou x

A passable Wetherspoons pub that served a purpose that morning to give us a spot to rest up and have a coffee. Totally unmemorable and unremarkable, a Wetherspoons pub that feels like it has had it's time and they've had enough. Really didn't enjoy either of the 'Spoons in Loughborough at all which is a shame. When run properly, Wetherspoons has a place in a town, sadly not in Loughborough apparently.

Sadly, whilst this location is temporarily closed, I look forward to being welcomed back to a local and convenient place to eat which serves typical menu items at affordable prices.

My daughter went in for 1 lot of chips with her bank card while I waited outside, they charged he £7 for a cone of chips , when I went in to ask them about the price they charged her they just chucked the money on the counter with not one word ! Not even an apology! The manager couldn't even speak to apologise either and was stood next to the girl who has no voice ! It's not how you run a business How many kids do they do this to ! You can't see the price on the card machine as its behind the screen facing them . Very rude staff , I will not be returning
