Absolutely amazing food, and lovely staff. We came a couple of weeks ago and decided to come again with family we enjoyed it so much. What we didn't appreciate, was them adding a cover of 8 people, which adds a service charge, (we had a party of 4, at a table for 6). Had they not been sneaky and tried to add it WITHOUT telling us, we were more than happy to tip for fantastic service and food. We questioned and it got removed

Travelling for work the Queens head is a fantastic quiet spot with plenty of parking fantastic service and possibly one of the best full English breakfast I’ve ever had. The service from checking to check out was 2nd to none. When I’m next in the area I will definitely be staying here.

Update 06/10/2024 Revisited here today .... Leah the new manager on shift was lovely, very welcoming and couldn't do enough. She asked us to try there trails for the Xmas menu, we had Haggis Bomboms. The bacon gritz was lovely but the bombom was alittle flavourless, she too our observations happily. For our main we had the Sunday Roast, I had pork and beef, the beef was pink, very nice but so was the pork which wasn't. All in all though it could have been been a little warmer as its wasn't the hottest. We had coffee also, it had to go back as it was luck warm also. All handled with great service though. Thank Came here with friends for Sunday lunch. Very attentive staff. I had the pate for starters and it was very bland with very little flavour, which was disappointing. The we seemed to have to wait a good while for our main Sunday Roast. The quality of the food was lovely however it could have done with being a little warmer. Apart from that lovely time will come again

Such a treat to go out to a "restaurant" with a great and varied menu cooked by fantastically creative chef. Instead of having to choose from deep fried UPF's there is a fabulous selection of well cooked fresh dishes. Lovely dining areas, inside and out and friendly attentive staff.

This should definitely be given an extra star at the very least. The rooms are incredibly quaint and spacious. Moreover the service from the staff is exceptional, we were running late to arrive and Jamie stayed an extra 45 minutes just for us to get there in time before closing up. The rest of the staff are also incredibly friendly, they made a great breakfast and even got us 4 pain au chocolates for the road back to London! Couldn’t recommend the place enough.

Country town pub. Dining room. Exquisite hotel in one location. Queen 👸. The interior decoration is full of statues of the Queen. Includes a stamp carpet with the Queen's image. Classic and refined. Before booking a table, I had searched online for restaurant information and menu introductions. I also have a rough idea of ​​what I want to order for dinner. And after reading other reviews from customers who were also very satisfied, I decided to give it a try. Since it was a family birthday party, we chose a nearby place to eat. Starter: Seafood Platter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💝💝💝 The ingredients are fresh and the portions are sufficient. All are our favorites. Crispy Pork Belly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ main course: Grilled steak with French fries⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The portion is enough for two people. The only thing is that I don’t really like the taste of the British sausage. Sichuan Dandan Noodles with Salmon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💝💝💝 I don't like it too spicy, so I asked for less spicy food. The chef cooked it and it tasted just right. It was paired with pan-fried salmon and had a very distinctive Sichuan flavor. Thai red curry with chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💝💝💝 I was particularly pleased with the Thai red curry sauce made by the chef in-house 🫶🏻 (you can taste the homemade Asian sauce) and paired with the really delicious Thai fragrant rice 👍🏻 It’s a perfect match. If some people choose fried chicken or roasted chicken, they will be more satisfied. Chef’s Recommendation ~ Tender Steak + Pork Sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the first time I tried the mild steak meat taste. It also feels very fresh when combined with other parts of the beef. While we were discussing how to prepare the main course. I asked the boss Sam about some gossip. He told us that it was run by an Asian chef and introduced him to us. He is a chef from Hong Kong🇭🇰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ restaurant. Thank you 👍🏻See you again encore🥳

Wow. My partner and I were out in the Leicestershire countryside enjoying the sunshine and decided we wanted a bite to eat. We charged upon a sign to the Queen's Head so decided to give it a go. What a great experience this was. It doesn't look much from the outside but once you get inside there's plenty of space and it has been wonderfully refurbed making it a relaxing and attractive place to spend time. And then the food. Wow. Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. We'll definitely go back there again.

OH MY WORD. I’ve had two events one Sunday after the other. One a sit down meal which just blew all 30 of us away. Food was delicious service was incredible . Sam being the Manager was on top of it all attention to detail was fabulous. Sunday after we had a buffet for nearly 30 people, what struck me on walking into the room is how the tables were laid out. You didn’t feel like you were on separate tables everyone could hold a conversation it was just perfect. Holly came in on arrival introducing herself she would be looking after us for our special occasion, boy did she nail it again attention to detail . What was nice is all the staff were in and out making sure our needs were met, but they weren’t intrusive you didn’t realise they were there. 5*plus without any doubt If you’re looking for somewhere just for lunch or a special occasion look no further this place is just perfect.

Enjoy the George at Coleorton, decided to try the Queens Head at Belton. Well we were on our own in a cold room, even though there were people and free tables else where. Ordered the faggots, my husband's looked fine, mine first faggot was dry and white, called the member of staff who said the sausagemeat hadn't got mixed in properly. Right faggots do not have sausagemeat meat in and this certainly was not sausagemeat. O.K I did not have to pay for the meal but it was a let down. Will stick to the George

Lovely dog friendly place to eat! Our Air B&B hosts suggested the Queen's Head for Sunday Lunch and we were very glad they did! Apparently it's only been under current management for 6 months and all I can say is they are doing it right! The food was all absolutely lovely, the service was perfect and our dog was made very welcome in the bar area (special thanks for not being awkward about her sitting on my lap as some places sometimes are: small dogs often feel insecure on the floor and settle better up high). We knew it was promising when we arrived at 12 on the dot when they opened, and several groups were already heading in. It was fairly full by the time we left, which given that it's mid January in a cost of living crisis speaks absolute volumes about it's popularity with locals. Booking ahead recommended!

I booked the Queens Head, Belton, Leicestershire, for a private lunch to celebrate my 70th birthday. I needed a venue in a location that was in a suitable for guests travelling from London, Devon and Yorkshire. I had not visited the pub before, however, the web site and customer reviews painted a positive picture. So I emailed the hotel to ask if they could meet a number of challenges, including - guests requiring wheelchair access and guests with a range of dietary needs. The response from Jo, the general manager, was very positive and helpful. Over the next few weeks we talked on several occasions. We agreed a suitable menu and Jo provided the reassurance that all our requirements for accommodation and the lunch could and would be met. The weekend was a great success, helped by unusually warm weather for February, so that before the lunch my guests and I could sit outside on the veranda sipping bubbly. The private function room was comfortable and spacious. The wine, food and service were excellent. The meal was leisurely giving guests time to talk and catch up. The children also enjoyed the garden. During the afternoon we were also able to enjoy some musical entertainment provided by two of my guests. Overall, the Queens Head proved to be an ideal venue. Those guests who stayed over the weekend praised their accommodation, the quality of their breakfasts and relaxed seating area in the restaurant where we had a quiet late night drink. As for those attending the lunch they commented favourably on the venue, food and service. Under Jo’s leadership the Queens Head staff were polite and helpful. Over the weekend Jo proved to be an outstanding hostess ensuring that all her promises were met so that I and my guests had a weekend to remember. Thank you the Queens Head!!

We booked a table for 4 people for Sunday lunch at 2 o'clock - a perfectly decent time for Sunday lunch, I feel. We were led to our table and orders were taken. A few minutes later the waitress came back to say that they didn't have any of the roasts - turkey or beef!! She could only offer chicken, which wasn't even on the menu. Also, one of the starters that was on the menu was unavailable. The menu consisted of a choice of 4 starters and 4 mains, two of which were roasts. To have none of our main course choices plus a starter that was unavailable was shocking. We waited for one hour for our starters, during which time four people, who had gone through to the restaurant AFTER us, were served their starters and their mains: the roasts were obviously available for them, and they didn't order at the table. Clearly there is a system of pre-booking food, of which we were not made aware either when booking the table or in the bar. We also had to wait an inordinate amount of time for our mains. A couple of drinks were knocked off the bill which was a gesture, but nothing compared to our poor experience. To be fair the food was lovely when it finally arrived, but it wasn’t our choice. Waiting staff were lovely, and unfortunately it is these people who are always on the front line: they were not responsible for such a disappointing experience.

Friends took us here for Tapas and quiz night! We went from coming well and truly last to 2nd with a couple of good rounds, so we were very happy.

This place does a very nice roast. There are excellent beer choices on offer too, including from the fairly local Charnwood Brewery.

After trying many larger hotels in the area for our College awaydays, what a find this was. We had access to a private room, with use of the bar areas for break outs, outwith general opening times, it worked like a dream. Added to that a fantastic lunch,a everyone left very very happy. Great value for money. See you next year

We have been to Queens Head a lot of times over a number of years for meals or a drink and the meals and service have always been excellent.

Quite busy and despite this excellent service. Good choice of starters, main courses and puddings. Black pudding with bacon and duck egg was delicious. My ribeye was accurately cooks medium rare. Chips were brilliant. Other main courses of braised beef, chicken breast and sea bream were all enjoyed. Heartily recommended

It has been a while since we last visited the Queens Head but we were impressed by the service and quality of freshly prepared food and drinks and will be visiting again soon. The bar area is dog friendly and welcoming for eating or drinking or both.

Came here with my inlaws as I wanted somewhere local with a quality menu. The Queens head did not disappoint. Beautiful surroundings that have been tastefully decorated.

Stopped here on way back from Loughborough university for an evening meal after dropping eldest off for freshers. We saw the sign from the main road heading back to m42 and what a great place. We hadn't read the reviews so took a flyer. Pub had a good atmosphere. Looked newly refurbished. We arrived early and were seated by friendly staff. Service was very good. Menu choices were varied. Lots of choice. We both chose steak which wasn't cheap but the quality of the meat from a local farm was very good and the steaks were perfectly cooked. We thought it was value for money at £22.00. Triple cooked chips in beef dripping which accompanied it with watercress were lovely. We decided to have dessert as not your usual bland choices. Vanilla parfait with gingerbread ice cream which was delicious. Will definitely come back and they have rooms so hopefully a good choice when visiting Loughborough for the weekend.

Have to say my steak tasted lovely and the chips where cooked really well, for the size of the mean it was far too overpriced. We decided to have pudding but it was very bland for me I have to say! The other guests I was with enjoyed their meal it has to be said, but we all agreed the service was very slow and I asked for a drink that never came. They where quiet and just standing around talking whilst we waited for the bill. Dissapointed

This is a beautifully refurbished pub, modern but maintaining its local history with charming and incredibly clear enlarged photos around the main bar depicting local folk from the past. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food excellent (although at the price, we would have expected some vegetables to have been included.) Dogs are made very welcome: there's even a photo gallery of regular pooches! Beware: best not to sit on the leather sofa while anyone is playing darts!!

Top class food - better than any other place that we picked out from the Good Food Guide over our recent 5 day trip. Veggies are well served, in particular the risotto was amazing. The scallops were also fantastic - sweet and perfectly cooked. Well done!

The Priest House has so much potential. Its location is lovely, situated by a river and the buildings are lovely. However, this is a very tired hotel, both inside and out. The exterior paint is peeling, the outdoor communal areas around The Cottage where we stayed were so dirty and unkempt and the exterior of this building was grubby too. The room was at least clean and plenty roomy, but the radiator was on full blast and it was a 23° sunny day. It couldn’t be turned down or off. The service in the restaurant was very slow and the food overpriced for the tiny portions. The constant drone all night of the aircraft flying into East Midlands airport was very noisy. It’s all a bit of a shame, as this place has bags of potential. Sadly, we wouldn’t come back again.

Poor Service, staff standing around chatting, heavily tattooed and pierced lady more interested in flirting and slapping backside of another member of staff. Just seems like you were intruding on their party! Went back next day and same experience and same staff clustered around bar chatting and feeling like you shouldn’t be interrupting. Don’t respond to emails even about bookings and never answer phone even when it was ringing. Sadly food was very overcooked and dry too. Female seemed completely clueless, no idea when manager back off holiday, no idea who took bookings and a complete lack of interest other than standing chatting to staff.
