Dear Sam and team, We would just like to express our thanks to you and your team today, we had the function room to hold our sons christening and wow, from decorating the room for us to the food and your staff, you was all so attentive even on a busy Sunday looking after all our needs and the food was amazing. You should be proud of yourself and your staff on a perfect little pub with an amazing function room. What a little gem of a place. Would highly recommend you to friends and family. Thank you once again and we apologise again on the mess we made.

First time in a while we‘ve been back since the owners changed for Friday night birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing! Big compliments to the chef! Particularly impressed by the lamb shank shepherds pie.

Lovely Food, very nice atmosphere and the staffs are very friendly.

First visit for a few years and new management, and I'm presently surprised, overall very nice, clean, friendly and reasonably priced. A good sized side salad ( don't change that)to go with the fish and chips the fish batter was slightly thick, nice burger and homemade burgers and the chocolate tart was fab. Thank you.

We didn’t have a booking as we had decided last minute on a Tuesday night Warm welcome by the staff nothing was too much trouble Traditional great quality Pub food lovely wine list Will definitely be returning Again

Lovely spot for a Sunday roast. Had leg of lamb with all the trimmings.

Just had second visit and loved the food, wines and ambience. Staff friendly, professional and quietly attentive. Prices v reasonable for some really classy food

What can I say, warmth, service, staff, food, decor, value for money all round fantastic. Presentations outstanding.

Visited for mother's day lunch with my two sons and three grandchildren. Lovely well cooked food well presented. Staff very attentive. All of us could only manage main course as really filling. Shall certainly return at some point.

Perfect spot for lunch loved it! Friendly and helpful people and smashing food

Great rooms and food is first class, better than first class

Amazing family meal,staff lovely and welcoming.....food again outstanding...can't wait to return xxx

This place is amazing, food was fantastic and the staff are amazing, friendly and attentive, We will definitely be back.

Food is delicious😍, good staff.

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.

Best Sunday Lunch for miles. Every element is great, perfect pork, perfect crackling, the best cauliflower cheese and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Great atmosphere and the staff are all polite, attentive and friendly.Best

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Donington Park for racing. The staff were amazing and I had the best gluten-free fish and chips ever! Both of our meals were excellent and we had a few drinks in the lovely bar beforehand. We stayed in the Blue Room which was lovely and quirky and very comfortable. We had an amazing cooked breakfast before we left which set us up for a very long day. Overall a wonderful stay and we will definitely visit again.

Lovely hotel with wonderful food. 4 X lovey waitresses who were exceptional. The rooms were very clean and well presented. All in all a wonderful stay . Highly recommended.

We stayed overnight in the blue room and had dinner in the evening and breakfast the next morning. The staff gave us a warm welcome and we're efficient, friendly, and attentive. The food was delicious, and the bed was very comfortable. We took our dog who was also made very welcome. We will return and recommend the Queens head after our enjoyable and relaxing stay.

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

We had lunch today .choose from the specials menu we had the duck and the salmon mains and my goodness was it special , the food was first class , presentation excellent the taste amazing it was superb so fresh just cannot speak highly enough of this fabulous meal . Lots of choice on the other menu aswell something to suit everyone i would highly recommend a visit to this little gem in belton friendly staff nice restaurent and a good bar area a with a great choice of gins ,wines and beers.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch, roast Beef and Pork were both delicious. A good selection of vegetables and perfectly cooked. The service was excellent- the team were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Would recommend Sunday lunch here as one of the best in the local area.

We went today for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. Starters were excellent, and how refreshing to have such variety to choose from. The roast dinners all 3 of us chose were both delicious and plentiful, to say the least. Generous servings, beautifully cooked meats, with a real homemade touch. Service was professional and friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to go again as a family or to take guests there.

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!

Warm welcome when we walked into the pub, great food and service. We live in Breedon which is the next village along, the access from other villages is easy and it’s just off the A42. Good luck to the new owners, we’ll be back!

First time here for sunday lunch . Lovely atmosphere very friendly happy staff . Great roast beef good portions really enjoyed our lunch. Good choice of wines and gin and my husband said a good pint of bass . Nicely decorated warm and friendly well worth a visit .

New owners!!!! Heard it had new owners and they have transformed it into a brilliant pub/restaurant. Great welcome and the place has a warm atmosphere. The food was outstandingly delicious especially the lamb meatballs wow. Service was swift but in a friendly relaxed way. Staff really friendly. Definitely recommend this to anyone

8 of visited , we had various starters and mains nobody had any complaints excellent. All staff were very pleasant and we will visit again very soon .

We had a lovely Sunday lunch with great service! Good menu choices too. £14 for a main course lunch which is very generously portioned. It's a great place for food and a few drinks.

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 visit here most weeks. There is always a great selection of drinks including draught real ales, lagers and cider. There is a fantastic range of gins and spirits as well as mixers and non alcoholic drinks.

Very pleasant meal with excellent steak, cooked just as we like it with good chips and salad.

This restaurant is on our doorstep but we've never been....it popped up in my facebook feed and after looking at their website we decided to go for Sunday lunch. We weren't disappointed...... we both choose 2 courses off the set sunday lunch menu....the food was well presented and delicious....service was excellent with just the right amount of time between courses...the young waitresses were very polite and friendly.... would highly recommend....well be back again...this time to try the bar menu :)

I stay here regularly on business and can highly recommend both the pub and restaurant. The staff here are excellent - nothing is too much trouble. Beers are well kept by Jo and Chris the head chef is a very modest superstar in the kitchen.

Early evening bar meal beef pie of the day with mashed potato, veg and gravy and vegetarian portobello mushrooms with spinach and ricotta sauce and walnut crumb. Excellent vegan sticky toffee pudding creative rich and moist with apples and a beautiful rum syrup. Fast service considering its freshly cooked.

Haven’t been in this restaurant for many years as always forget about it but it really is a hidden gem and so worth going. Me and my wife Had a 3 course meal and every dish was beautifully presented and so tasty , no microwave rubbish just homemade English dishes. 5 stars will be recommending to all

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.

Nice local restaurant offering good food at a reasonable price. Regular variety of change to the daily/weekly specials. Good service overall.

Would recommend the food, good potion size and value for money. Original and freshly prepared. We were told we would wait due to a big party being in but service was prompt

Great pub, local beers including Charnwood. Very impressive food, a focus on local ingredients. Steaks can be highly recommended

My wife and i was travelling back home on Wednesday 25th and noticed the sign on the A6006 for Queen's Head and decided to follow the sign to Belton and have a light dinner at 6.30. The restaurant is in very good decor and tables well spaced out (mind you it wouldn't matter as we were the only customers).

After a long days work, a few beers, football on Sky and a decent bar meal. Excellent!! I will return.

Amazing food but very slow service, especially considering we had pre ordered for a very large group. That said, the food was amazing - lots of it and extremely tasty.

Came in for Pie Night, the staff were lovely and we were quickly taken to a table. The pies came and although they tasted great the portions were very small on both. Cottage pie in a small shallow dish with two stalks of sprouting broccoli was not great value for money.

We had a three course Sunday Lunch for £20 each. The choice is not huge but the quality was high, we all had roast beef which was cooked pink, supremely tender and very tasty. The service was very good and the staff attentive and pleasant. We will certainly return.

Me and my husband stayed in the French Room and we couldn’t be happier with the stay. The room is beautiful, the food is absolutely delicious and the staff are delightful. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be staying here again.

Just great. Friendly welcome, comfortable restaurant. Great choices especially the steak. Puddings to die for

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.

Had an amazing meal here with my mum and dad!

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

A very relaxed evening in pleasant surroundings although lacked a little bit of atmosphere (one of our party likened it...

We stayed here for the night in early November and decided to have dinner in the on-site restaurant. All three...

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.

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.

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

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 food was average The price was not£6 for a very standard Prawn Cocktail, I had Halloumi with tomato salad with tiny piece of HalloumiThe mains were OK chicken in a light Summer veg curry had lots and lots of Peas!!!!The staff were a little hit and miss tooWe had a card that gave us 50% off food, without this we would have been pretty unhappy with the bill

Been here 3 times now & tried Sunday lunch, Weekday lunch & evening.Great service & food. Made to feel very welcome. Attentive staff. Highly recommend & will definitely be back again sometime soon

Had been meaning to go here for a while and glad we finally did! Booked a table for Sunday lunch, roast beef was excellent and good selection of beers and wine. Service very good and attentive. Will be back soon for sure!

Loved this place. Courteous, friendly and welcoming staff with spacious, clean and comfortable rooms. Good selection of cask beers at the bar and and the breakfast was superb. Thanks to Rebecca and everyone at The Queens Head for making my stay so enjoyable.

This hotel deserves more stars but this is where's it is at this time. Well fitted out and clean rooms clean and tidy shower room but remember to take your own toiletries as they do not provide anything. Busy place on a Saturday night and it seems it's only staffed by several young ladies who can do the basics one drink I ordered was difficult to pour so after several tries I had to order something else food is excellent if somewhat pricey breakfast is cooked fresh so allow extra time very tasty even if my poached eggs were rock hard. I stay in lots of hotels and hence the little things that all add up looses it a couple of stars

Visited the Queens as spontaneous visit from driving past one of their brown road signs.Once walked into the pub was no direction as were to go as pub was empty.Once found someone we was shown to a table And given a menu.Waitress came back the food order which we gave her, she began to walk away without asking if we wanted drinks so had to remind her.2x duck starter ( which tasted great)1 T-bone rare ( average )1 chicken dinner ( was ok partner said).My overall experience for Sunday time:Staff need to be seen not having to be found by customers.Attention to detail to be focused into staff eg:1 pint come ordered was flatNo knives for steak or cheese n biscuits People smoking outside front door and in door ways very off putting when eating and entering the restaurant.Staff shouting to each other across the pub of their evening plans with boyfriends odd.All in all I don't think the higher price food warrants us to visit again there are several more pubs restaurants in the area that offer more value for money and staff bit less than they are in a working mans club.

We enjoyed our chilled out Sunday lunch. The restaurant wasn't very full which made for a relaxed afternoon. The food was of a good standard and the staff friendly. I'd recommend the roast beef.

We went on a Sunday and the menu was fairly varied considering it was a Sunday. Food was lovely but overpriced by about 3/4 pound each dish. Drinks are also expensive so probably won't go again.Decor is nice but when visiting the toilets I did notice that some internal fire doors were propped open with large bottles of oil. Definitely put us off and has been reported unfortunately to the authorities.Staff were all very new and very young. They didn't know what items were on the menu and they had no idea what drinks the bar had. We enjoyed the food but would not recommend or go again.

Arrived at 12.30pm for Sunday Lunch. No one in and we thought oh my god. But on leaving there was 8 more people eating or had eaten. Food was pretty good but we thought expensive for what you got. Husband had a Charnwood beer which was flat and tasted as though it was off. So left it. Staff friendly but inexperienced. Menu very limited. Very disappointed.

Nice village pub venue with restaurant and a small bar area that on the night I visited was hosting an open mic night. Very friendly staff and good food and wet offering. Car park and disabled access offered. Free wifi available. I noted that the venue hosts live music events regularly.

The Queens Head has had a chequered career since we first went some 6-7 years ago and thought perhaps we would try it in it's current guise. The poor things first, going on a Tuesday may have not been a good idea insofar as there was to be a Quiz that evening and the menu was very restricted, for example, only three choices for the main course and a poor starter choice if one wanted (as we often do) to share. Staff were pleasant, welcoming but very untrained, we were only asked if everything was OK at the settling up, which obviously had it not been would not have worked! as it happens the meal was fine. There is a decent selection of beers but the "Tribute" was not at it's best and there was no Pinot Grigio available. The Sauvignon Blanc which we chose instead was excellent, if a tad expensive. However, the bread crumbed fish was first class, very fresh and nicely presented. We would have preferred proper chips but that is a minor personal choice comment. Service of the meal was good. May I, to this and similar establishments make a heartfelt request that the words "enjoy" and "No problem" be banned. Would we visit again? yes probably, since it would only be fair to try another evening's menu.

We hadn't visited this pub for quite a while but as we were in the area decided to call in for dinner. It was good to see nothing had changed. The menu had a good choice, the food was lovely, the staff friendly and the atmosphere great. There was a large party in on the evening we were there but this in no way affected the service. It makes a change to see somewhere able to cope with a large party and serve the other diners in a timely fashion too.

Four of us went for lunch on a Saturday. We were the only ones in the restaurant so on the positive side we literally had the place to ourselves. The fish was lightly battered and really fresh not the heavy batter you normally encounter from pub food. The two who had the fish thought it excellent right down to the detail of picked onions on the mushy peas. We also thought the lamb and burger excellent. We would definitely return but would hope for a busier return visit for a bit more atmosphere

Bought a groupon voucher for this resturant, a real deal this one, we were very pleased with the venue spotlessly clean, and the food and service was excellent. We will certainly be back to sample some of their theme meals.

Best meal of the week just got betterGreat location Great serviceSumptuous foodWhat's not to like?See you soon

We attended in a family group of eight for Sunday lunch. The menu choice wasn't overwhelming and we all soon knew what we wanted to order. We all had three courses of fantastic food and all commented on how good each course was (which is a rare thing with our family as one member usually finds something not to their liking!).They have a great choice of wine, beers and ales, with a guest ale from a local brewery. The service was friendly and timely. The value was excellent. Would we dine here again? Absolutely. Would we recommend dining here? Definitely!

If you like to sit with a cold draft from the staff leaving open the fire door and the smell of cigarettes from the staff then your on to a winner . As for the fillet steaks don't be cruel enough to take home the left overs for your dog, the worse steak I've eaten for a very long time . The staff walk around with a face on and prefer smoking outside or chatting to the locals rather than serve or clear the tables . I eat out proberley 2-3 times a week and this place has to be up there with having my tonsils out! Menu is very limited so don't be fooled like we were with the glossy adverts! Ps: don't forget your coat and gloves !

Came here for a midweek lunch with family as we were looking for something near Loughborough university which was dog-friendly. It certainly hit the spot! The welcome was warm and friendly (especially for our dog!) and the menu was varied and creative. We all chose different dishes and were all very impressed with the freshness and flavours. It was all beautifully presented too. We couldn't manage dessert, sadly, as they all looked very tempting. So we had coffees in the comfy chairs near the fire. As we wanted our puppy to stay with us, we had drinks, lunch and coffees all in the comfortable bar area.The decor is contemporary and cosy and it was a lovely afternoon.

A brilliant night with the locals in a friendly village pub. An Elton John tribute act gave an awesome performance. All the staff are welcoming and fun people.

Steak and chips, one sirloin the other rib eye, cooked medium rare to perfection. Excellent chips. Banda split was good and plentiful as was sorbet. Quiet but then again it was a Thursday lunchtime in January when people are still reeling from their post Christmas credit card bills

We ate here recently I ordered fish and chips and my partner the venison burger. Whilst I couldn't fault the fish and chips was really nice the fact it was served in a cardboard box both shocked and disgusted me. Not only did it look ridiculous (and my local chippy uses better boxes) but was completely impractical because when the lid was opened it folded on top of my partner sitting opposite's food. Whose meal came out on a painted soft wood board. Don't even get me started on how bad those are for harbouring bacteria. Although the venison burger was OK the bread bun was greasy. Even when we said to the waitress would you eat that she said no and we asked our comments to be passed onto the duty manager. Who avoided coming to talk to us for about 10 mins we asked for the bill and still nothing only when asked for him directly did he approach. He reduced the bill which is why I am giving 2 stars not 1.
