Shoulder of Mutton in Harborough

I must say I'm out of town and looked around for best places for food and decided to go here and ommmgg the burger was unreal even I got stuck for choice as the fish smelt just as good the owner was very Down to earth with the best selection of music ever very chilled and very nice decor even wants to keep it a restaurant type bar to filter out the sports bar needing for the town

I arrived here around 3pm and the place was pretty much empty, not a goid sign. The food was over priced £15.95 for an halloumi and mushroom burger. My partners pudding and chips were even more expensive. The pudding was hard definitely not steamed. Jalapeño bite to start was £5.95 and you got 3. They were full of water inside and greasy. I am more than happy to pay for good food but this was not. The food was not fresh and definitely frozen. My partner and friend have been ill last since eating the food.

Great pub food and excellent service.

£15 each for a burger & chips & £8 for child’s meal…. Came to £50 for 2 adults & 1 child which only soft drinks. Burger wasn’t nothing special & was cooked medium rare (pink in middle & red juice soaked in the bun) no option given in how you would like it done. Coleslaw was old & warm. Best meal was the kids Mac n cheese but was still average at best. real shame, I would have rather gone to a proper restaurant for the price.

The meal itself was a good size, well presented and enjoyed. Service was not there really.

We were impressed with the menu choices. I had an adult portion of the gammon, chips & peas. The egg and pineapple really added to this. It was delicious and so filling I had no room for dessert. My friend went for the small plate beef lasagne which she thoroughly enjoyed. She had room for her second choice dessert. Half of cider apiece was a great choice. The layout of the place was spacious and the decor was lovely. The background music was a trip down memory for us. My mother used to say you can judge an eaterie by the state of the toilets. These were clean, fresh and with extras like lotion, hairspray and feminine hygiene products. We will certainly go again and will recommend this place to others.

Amazing food great staff, came here last sunday for dinner with family , I wasnt expecting much having been to afew local restaurants , i can honestly say this place knocks the socks off the rest, absolutely cooked to perfection, I will not be going anywhere else in the future 😀

Absolutely outstanding!!! chef in town!!! We went this afternoon for Sunday dinner all I can say is outstanding 👌 Plenty off delious food, piping hot, fast service. I've not been to the pub in years and was truly blown away by the turn around. We will definitely be returning. If you haven't been yet you need to go.

Big group of us went Christmas day and paid £65 per person. We had to wait 2 hours for mains to come out and it was shockingly bad. It was that bad I'm surprised that the staff would be prepared to serve it. Shame we will never be going back.

Nice pint, friendly atmosphere,

Had a Sunday lunch it was amazing the home made Yorkshire and the home made soup would highly recommend. Beautiful

Nice pub, recently refurbished, nice staff, dog friendly. Worth a visit

Food was good. Homemade pork scratchings on the menu which were good. Really good decor and impressive layout

Lovely food and nice selection of beers/wines/ales. Staff really nice Sunday dinner was fantastic

Very stylish and modern, yet cozy as well. Only had drinks. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good vibe about the place.

Popped in mid-week early evening for dinner. Service with a smile, bar staff were helpful and friendly, plenty of choice for seating, very tidy too. Ordered food at the bar, I went for the house burger served with salad and Potato wedges which was delicious, proper meat, one of the nicest burgers I’ve had in a while not your Mcdonalds fake burgers! Food arrived in good time; again, with a smile. My partner decided on the chicken kebab which she thoroughly enjoyed. All round great service…Atmosphere was a bit lacking but it was mid-week early evening… If we’re in the area again we’ll definitely be making some meal stops here 10/10

Excellent Sundayunch and great service. We will be back x

We really enjoyed our stay here for our lunch, my son even said the food came out steaming at the perfect temperature 😄. There are dog treats for dogs, The area is clean. Little touches of thoughts like the serviettes stick together that must be an extra effort to make it look nice & emergency toiletries for girls which I appreciate as a customer 🙂. The staff were young ladies with good attitude & manners 👍 Spent £52 for 3meal,pint for my partner,small rose wine for me &hot chocolate for my son which he said is perfect 😄 Spacious and warm

Enjoyed a quiet drink with good company

Very welcoming for guests of all ages. Excellent pub quiz on Mondays.

My husband said the Gammon was the best he'd ever had! I had lamb kebab on flatbread with mayo and chilli sauce. Great.

It would be better if they served snacks as well as big meals

A pleasant enough Robinsons — the cheese, and onion pie was nice too

We loved it here, its dog friendly, nothing was too much trouble, the chef made curry sauce off menu, the chef was lovely and so was the food, the chicken naan, nachos, fish and chips so good our son had it both days, we loved it so much we came back the next day for lunch, we will be back next time we are on holiday 😋 we didn't take any photos, too busy eating

Lovely coffee and meal on our way home. Hot sauce "on the kebab-side" was definitely a good call - delicious but in small doses! Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area. Thank you 👍

The staff are absolutely amazing, nothing is any trouble at all, so friendly and welcoming. I've not tried that much on the menu "yet" but what I have tried I really can't fault in any way. The atmosphere is the same as the staff friendly and welcoming

Had a family meal here today, the food was really good and not overly priced. The staff are really nice and accommodated all our needs and requests. We will definitely come again and recommend it.

Stopped by chance on the way home from Scotland, very clean and tidy, games for the kids, treats for the dog. Food was excellent and the service top notch. Highly recommend.

Great food, friendly service, fair prices.

Family meal out. Dietary requirements were accommodated. Nicely refurbished interior.

We went to this place around 4pm on a Saturday, it was quiet the atmosphere was off putting to say the least. We ordered white bait starter which was nice. The mains however we ordered the classic beef burger, for the price of £15 each we would’ve expected a decent beef patty but were served something basic with no taste or sauce on the burger, some of the lettuce was also wilted. The bread was crumbling and weren’t even toasted. They also did not have any other dairy free milk options which was strange as they had gluten free deserts. Apart from that the place was clean.

Absolutely fantastic place, lovely food, adventurous menu for kids, friendly staff and customers. Kids, me, Mrs and grandparents all loved it,100% coming back again. Highly recommended

Just called in for a couple of beers post ride, bit pricey but isn't everywhere now. At least it was open, only pub I could find in Chapel open on Friday afternoon! Sad town.

Pub is really lovely, clean and welcoming. The food was good however I would have chosen something else had I known it was going to be served with fries. I'm not a lover of fries and I don't think they belong with pie and gravy, so please if you're going to state chunky chips on the menu then at least tell people you haven't got any so they can make another choice.

Great local pub staff and locals very friendly 👍

Good food, good beer. Served a table of 12 with dietary requirements with no trouble

Just stopped of from Keswick for dinner in our moterhome dogs 🐕 to food very nice 👍 had a great chat about brit stopover for moterhome in her pud she is thinking about doing it will be back 😀

Have had a meal here quite a few times in the past few months, the pub is gorgeous inside, food was fantastic and staff are really friendly, highly recommend as they're trying really hard to expand their menu!

Really nice nice pub with great staff , in a lovely setting the food was delicious I had a chicken kebab it was excellent, also it has a play area for the little ones and a large car park

We had the Sunday Roast muffin. Very enjoyable, worth the money. Staff and atmosphere was good. Would definitely eat and drink here again

Excellent takeaway Sunday Lunch for two - roast beef and roast turkey - both excellent with plenty of lovely veg. A real treat!

I visited this evening with a friend for dinner- I haven’t eaten at the Shoulder before but I have been missing out! Nice cosy modern decor, great service and the food was out of this world. I eat out quite frequently but I was super impressed. I had the prawns, rib of beef and sticky toffee pudding (as well as a Halloween cocktail and a couple of glasses of fizz) Having listened to the govt announcement it looks like we won’t be back for a while however as soon as they are open again I’ll be banging the door down.

Excellent food enjoyed today at this pub. The pork belly starter with apple purée and black pudding bonbons was to die for, but then the slow roasted lamb shank arrived and it was just incredible.. I squeezed a pudding in because I didn’t want the food journey to end and it didn’t disappoint. Friendly, professional and attentive service - could not fault and I would highly recommend. I’m hoping with the regulation changes they can adapt so I can collect takeaways from here as now I’ve discovered how amazing the food is I don’t want to stop eating here!!

Sunday lunch was absolutely superb. The service and attention to detail by the staff was second to none. We were certainly well looked after. Would thoroughly recommend all the dishes as our group had all that was on the menu. The beef was cooked to perfection and was slightly pink in the middle like it should be. Well done to the chef and staff for a very fun and relaxing afternoon.

Social distancing very well organised. Very attentive table service and considering how busy it was, we promptly received our delicious meal, piping hot and piled high with traditional Sunday lunch goodies. Will definitely visit again!

First time having Sunday lunch at the Shoulder and this will not be the last. The food was superb with the leg of lamb being a stand out. Lovely Yorkshire pudding and a good selection of vegetables. Great atmosphere and service was spot on. We were a party of 5 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of hand sanitiser and social distancing rules adhered to. Book your self a table, you will not be disappointed.

As a group of 8 with a vegan and a veggie we were nervous about trying somewhere new. Can not recommend the Shoulder enough! They have it all covered and the nut roast got a big thumbs up. The food was so tasty and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning on the regular. Thank you all for a great afternoon and a beautiful lunch.

Had an absolutely amazing time yesterday. Had a Sunday roast which was delightful. Arrived with family for a birthday and we were looked after so well, including being checked up on for more drinks. Food came perfectly in time with no issues whatsoever. Couldn’t fault the service or the food. The Shoulder of Mutton is decorated and laid out so lovely inside and indeed spotless. The staff were polite, welcoming and efficient. Would most definitely recommend. All social distancing were monitored correctly, with everything in place to cater for all.

Superb Sunday Roast - we have eaten a few times since reopening abs I have been meaning to give them another review but kept forgetting. We eat our regularly and this has got to be one of the best roasts in the area. From the moment you walk in, we were met by a friendly chap behind the bar who asked us you to scan the NHS app and we were taken to our table straight away which are social distanced and spaced out. The staff are super friendly and it we were so glad we booked as the restaurant was already busy when we sat down at 1330. Our order was taken by Tom, who is really polite and even though some food was already sold out as they had been busy since opening, it was no issue for us and we ordered , the scallops, whitebait to start then 2 beef, 2 lamb roasts with pigs in blankets and cauliflower sides. Good choice of wine - my partner and his friend had New Zealand Sauvignon whilst I opted for Malbec. It was nice to not feel rushed as we have been to some restaurants for Sunday lunch and they try to squeeze in double bookings so we could relax with our drinks and enjoy our food at leisure. We overheard another table complementing their food to the one of the waitresses and ours was exceptional. The beef was cooked perfectly and not an ounce of fat and the gravy to die for. Veg and roasties were cooked perfectly and not one of us had a bad choice of food. It’s great to see a pub so busy and we will definitely return and we saw on a board when walking to our car they are starting to do some different theme evenings - pies, steak and burger night etc if I can remember correctly. We would recommend booking and have already booked again for next week. Thanks all at the shoulder from the talented chefs, the bar and waiting staff - keep up the great work!

I hate to leave poor reviews, but I consider it to be constructive criticism. We arrived at 13:25 on Sunday 18th. Social distancing was observed and we received our drinks fairly quickly (although not exactly what we ordered). On ordering, half of the things we planned to have were already sold out (not very impressive when they’d only been serving lunch for an hour & a half). We ordered and waited an hour for our meal. Nobody came and apologised for the delay until five minutes before it was due to be served. Nobody looked at our drinks and offered another round. We ordered two beef and one lamb dinner. The lamb, potatoes, yorkshire puddings and gravy were amazing. Unfortunately, the beef was raw and the vegetables were too crispy. My husband refused to pay for the beef meals and we left feeling really disappointed. We had to stop on the way home to get McDonald’s. Such a shame. If meals are going to be late, explain to diners and offer more drinks. Better to wait for a good meal than wait and still not enjoy it. Sorry guys.

So happy we visited the village pub for Sunday Lunch. We haven’t been for a few years and the changes are really positive. Spotlessly clean which made us feel really comfortable, down to earth and just good honest food (we don’t have many of these places around!) super value for money 2 or 3 courses, we tried the lamb and beef - quality of meat excellent, generous portion and the roasties and gravy were to die for! There’s a lovely friendly team who were working hard to keep all the customers in check. Thanks to George and Tom who made us feel at home - looking forward to the next visit.

They are trying hard to get social distancing correct so we felt quite safe. Waiting staff were good but two of our five meals arrived stone cold and a third had a vital ingredient missing.When corrected the food quality was fairly good but expensive for what we got.On leaving there were three youths drinking at the bar (staff were not around to move them) so we had to squeeze past to get to the door - a sad end to a fairly poor evening.If they can sort out the kitchen it will be fine!

We went to this pub a few years ago and walked in and then straight out as it was a dive, but after we heard the landlady who used to work in braybrooke, Jo had taken it on to turn it around, we thought we would give it another go. Wow what a transformation and we were so glad we went back in. The grotty carpets have gone and it’s all open with clean wood floors. It has a lovely conservatory and the staff are welcoming and friendly. All COVID protocols are being followed. One way system in and out and signing in etc.The food was a great selection of pub grub with some daily specials. Our table ordered a chicken burger, fish & chips, seafood linguine and crab salad for mains and all were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. We shared a couple of desserts sticky toffee and Eton mess and again both were lovely.Huge congratulations to the chefs for making this wonderful food. The restaurant area was full and from what we tasted/drank you could see why, the pub had a great feel to it from what we previously expected. They needed our table so we moved to the bar lounge for a couple more drinks and everyone of the team were so attentive. From the landlady, Jo, manager Magna and the rest of the team.Apparently it was only taken over since the end of last year so Ignore any reviews prior to this year as that was the old owners who ran it into the ground. We have already booked for there bank holiday fiesta on Monday and can’t wait to return to this new gastropub on the Market Harborough food scene.

We went to the shoulder of mutton this evening on the Government scheme - could not have made a better choice - the food was so tasty- we chose pork belly - literally outstanding and the service exceptional - we were served by Abby who was just charming - couldn’t t fault it! Perfect evening

We visited shortly after the reopening for a Sunday Lunch it was excellent and great value for money and the staff were very helpful and polite. Face masks were not required at the time of our visit but all other precautions were taken.

The food is absolutely amazing. Especially the Sunday roasts are extraordinary. The chef is brilliant and knows to surprise her guests with high class, diversified combinations. This experience is perfectly accompanied by the magnificent service. Even though the place was bursting, the service was staggering, pleasant and very swift. This was definitely not my last visit.

We ate Sunday lunch at the Shoulder of Mutton today - It was fantastic! The bar staff were really helpful and friendly and the food was exceptional. Jo's cooking is amazing and both the beef and the belly pork were cooked to perfection. Loads of vegetables cooked beautifully with the best roast potatoes and the best gravy I have had in AGES! Fantastic value for money too.I wholeheartedly recommend Sunday lunch here and if you haven't been here for years - give it a try - it has been completely modernised along with the food quality!we will definitely be back!

Probably the best steak I've had in my life. Paired with a complimentay bottle of Shiraz and lovely attentive staff. We had an amazing evening and definitely coming back for more.

Firstly the menu in no way resembles the website. For main course the choice was pie, fish & chips, burger, steak, vegetarian. I chose fish and chips but they had run out so I opted for the pie with mixed veg and colcannon - problem was that it was served with plain mash and only green beans. My wife had chips with her meal which were awful - not fresh and sad looking. My meal was accompanied by bottled beer since there was no ale of any kind available. We chose a table in the lounge since the first table in the restaurant was too drafty and the second one was near the bar and very noisy. The saving grace for our experience was the service which was as good as it gets.

I've known Johanna for quite a few years, so pleased she is now at the Shoulder of Mutton and can't wait to see the pub go from strength to strength. I called in for the first time in ages and had a light lunch with a customer, Johanna recommended the fish finger sandwich which we both had. Sounds simple.... but really nice and definately worth a try!

Great Friday evening meal. Goats cheese and beetroot starter excellent, followed by as good a risotto I have had in a long time! Really on the up.

First time eating here in quite a few years was so nice to see the first part of refurb looks so much more modern and lighter. We ate near the bar and service was excellent food cooked to perfection, especially enjoyed the Thai pork starter defo worth a try really got out taste buds flowing for more. Definitely will be going back, looking forward to seeing all the other refurbished rooms and garden. Well done

Due ti refit running late, they arranged for our group of 28 to eat at their sister pub The Bell East Langton. Great Food and Staff ,hope the Shoulder of Mutton get sorted quickly then 2 pubs doing walking lunches of this quality. Looking forward to it

After visiting Foxton we decided to visit this pub for a meal and we was not disappointed. The pub is situated in a lovely village, and actually looked small till we went in. You can park on the front, also drink on the green under the trees. We walked through the pub and noticed how comfy it was. The bar had a large TV and it was spacious. We asked for a table and was taken through to the dining area. It was not a massive area ( which we liked) but very cosy, and the candles lit on our table added to the feel of the room. It was bright, clean and had its own bar. The young lady serving us was very nice and made us feel relaxed, no rushing to serve us, and gave us plenty of time to relax and just enjoy being there. The menu was a mix of local used ingredients which I liked, and also had something for everyone, there was also the specials which the young lady told us about. The meals where beautiful!and the pictures dont do the food justice, everything was cooked perfectly, 2 of us had the specials which was a chicken fillet burger and my son actually asked if he was climbing or eating it it was presented so nicely, and we loved the plates, didnt make your food all crammed together, the steak was cooked perfect for me, I was the only one that chose the home made chips, and they where immense! The rest had fries then wished they all had home made, they where cooked to perfection. In all the meal was well worth the money and I never mind paying extra if a meal is served like this. The garden is kept lovely, there is also an indoor heated smoking shelter which I thought was a great idea, also very clean. Our visit here was our first and if we are ever in the area again I'd definitely come back. The land lady was very friendly and this makes a pub. Thank You for a lovely meal and to the Chef , hope to see you again,

Visited on Saturday evening with a friend for dinner and drinks. The pub was bustling when we arrived with a great atmosphere in both the bar and dining area. All of the dining tables were occupied so I was glad I booked ahead. We arrived early for our pre booked table and given the option of going to our table which we did. The menu really is excellent. A variety of options from good old pub classic starters and mains to some more varied speciality dishes and a grill menu. I opted for a 10 oz steak which came with garlic sautéed mushrooms a whole baked tomato, home made onion rings and dressed salad leaves. I asked for peas instead of salad and this was no problem. The steak was cooked perfectly to my choice of medium rare. I opted for a peppercorn sauce and there was a choice of french fries or the home made chunky chips which I chose. The whole meal was excellently presented and service in the pub was excellent throughout. The wine and beer choice was very good. I can thoroughly recommend a visit here and will definitely return.

Decided to visit here on Saturday for a light lunch. The sandwich option isn’t great.. ciabatta with cheese and onion or cheese and tomato. The main menu looked nice though, so maybe another time. The food was lovely and well presented. I couldn’t fault the barmaid, she was very friendly and attentive. It was very quiet in there, less than a handful of people (including us!), the place does look run down and in need of a refurb. This has the potential to be a cracking country pub in a prime location, it just needs a little tlc.

Visited here for dinner on Saturday and was impressed. This was my first visit to the pub despite only living less than a mile away for over 4 years. The pub seemed very popular with a lot of tables reserved. Food was reasonably priced, arrived quickly and seemed very fresh. Would happily go again. Only negative was my partner ordered coleslaw but his maim actually came with this as well but no one mentioned it when ordering which we found disappointing.

We arrived at the pub and went into the quite busy bar. We had booked a table and arrived early for a drink first but showed to our table anyway.....a nice comfortable table for 2. Ordered our drinks and given a menu which had a good selection of meals....

First visit since Jo took over the Shoulder. Amazing Sunday Roast dinner. The beef was perfect and so well presented. I will definitely go back as the belly of pork also looked amazing. Perfect roast potatoes also.

We visited the shoulder today for Sunday lunch.

We visited this pub again after a disappointing visit as we had heard it had finally changed hands and we we not disappointed a second time ..the food has improved ten fold it was beautiful as was the service we will be going again 🥰😊

How, in a village as nice as great bowden, can the village pub be so bad?

If you about 17 , want to watch TV and listen to loud music and chatter loudly with the juvinille bar staff , well i,m sure you will enjoy , but if want a nice quiet pub meal , hear yourself chat , receive good service in a relaxed environment ,made to feel welcome and valued perhaps this is not the pub for you ......

Great Sunday lunch , no carvery now. very friendly staff, glutton free options with glutton free bread . street parking

Myself and a couple of friends ate here a couple of times during a stay nearby, The staff were excellent very friendly and helpful. Food was good and reasonably priced a good selection of beers I would definitely recommend .

Visited here for quiet drink and snacks. Landlady very friendly, nice beer reasonably priced. What spoilt evening and will prevent me returning and no doubt the other dinners in there was the barstaff talikng about ‘adult toys’ and what you did with said items in graphic detailswith his pals at a volume heard throughout the bar. This conversation continued for most of the time we were there even with other customers being about. Not what id expect in a pub and made me feel embaressed for the other dinners having to witness this.

When pubs are closing down across the country the Shoulder of Mutton should be taking advantage of being in a popular village near Market Harborough.

Group of 8 Sunday lunch. seated at 2.30pm. My starter was pate. Boring I know, and boring it turned out. a pot of pate and two slices of bread, with some leafy greens. Mains fillet steak, medium rare. No,,,, it was bloody, and rare. Plates from a furnace should have cooked it by themselves, but didnt. I should have sent it back, but didnt, it was eaten. The tomato that accompanied it was cold and not cooked, nor was it seasoned, / oiled. The beef similarly. Mushrooms had been quartered and put on the plate. No evidence that they have been cooked at all, no sause, flavouring, nothing, just.... well, mushrooms. Fries were very nice - skin on. A bowl of root veggies, consisted of raw onion hidden underneath suede and those strange uncooked mushrooms again. Bizarre ! Are these root veg? I think the chef thought.... Oh crap some ones ordered root veg, what have we got? Oh I know, onions, suede and ... oh there nothing else, lets go for the mushrooms, they grow near the ground. Pud of bread & butter pud was quite nice. The chef need sacking. DONT PUT ON A FILLET STEAK ON THE MENU IF YOU CANT COOK IT!! Total, with drinks, about £250. We left a tip, but im not sure why. The staff are nice enough, I get the feeling the cooking crew need more training

I lead a Rambling Group walk from this pub. A group of 20 people. Ordering food at the start and returning three hours later for lunch. The food was standard pub food, quite satisfactory with no frills, welcome after an energetic session. Service was fairly prompt and friendly. However it was not possible to order inside at the start before 10am and I had to post the orders through the door. I understand this sometimes happens but some pubs do open the doors to accommodate us. It was rather inconvenient. This pub is also closed for food on Monday and Tuesday. The interior could do with an update so I would give it a 'room for improvement' rating!

Arrived. Led to an empty room. Menu minimal. Nobody came to ask us of we wanted a drink. Had to go to the bar to order a drink. Eventually somebody came to take a food order. Beef overdone. Ham tasteless and dry. Vegetables overdone. Roast potatoes solid. Universal gravy.

Four visits, and each one a bit of a let down. The service isn't what it used to be and they just can't seem to get the steak right. The prawn cocktail is fantastic though. Nice atmosphere and lovely garden.

Sunday lunch appears very popular and I now know why.

We were staying nearby and fancied a meal here, having passed several times. The scampi was ok, the chips somewhat lacking in flavour. The pudding was a disappointment, containing as it did a number of blonde hairs. On raising this with the waitress we were not charged for it. Service was polite and friendly, and the prices typical of this type of establishment. The beer was ok.

Great food, great service, great drinks 😊 Definitely one of the nicest pubs around Market Harborough. Great Sunday roast 😊 Highly recommended.

What can I say, yet another lovely Sunday carvery at this pub. We went with our children and grandchildren and couldn’t wish for better food or service. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for a lovely meal.😀

Sunday lunch with friends. Good beer, great roast beef, warm welcome and excellent value. I can also recommend Wednesday steak night. Two beautifully cooked tender rump steaks, with all the trimmings plus a bottle of wine for only £20!

Visited today for a 2 course Christmas meal with a group of people. Good pub food. Plenty of fresh, crisp vegetables and salad to accompany starter (Brie wedges) and roast turkey dinner. Desserts looked tempting, too. We all sat together in the conservatory. Food was hot and service pleasant although it could have been quicker, meaning that some had to start eating before others were served.

I cannot believe the value of this steak deal 2 steaks (very good quality rumps) and any bottle of wine (chose the cracking house Malbec) For £20 TWENTY POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chips were smashing! Onion rings were spot on We will be back!

Called in for a bite to eat with friends. Beautiful village. Lovely warm welcome in the pub. Restricted menu owing to the beer festival in progress, but the food was lovely. As was the beer. Nice clean toilets too. So all in all, I'd happily give it a ten out of ten!

Friendly attentive staff. Small choice of two roasts. We had beef, very tender. All vegetables cooked well and tasty. Comes with gravy on. Did a smaller portion for kids, still a lot! Kids menu - good choice, big portion, very reasonable £4.95 incl. ice cream. Good choice of puds. Choc Torte looked good.

Had a great steak meal here this evening. Two steak meals plus a bottle of wine for £20.00. I guess I expected a reasonable steak for that price but it was exceptional. The food was well presented and delicious and the wine was good too....

Booked a meal for four on steak night excellent food and the free bottle of wine was a lovely extra. A great country pub friendly staff and great service in the centre of great Bowden a village on the outskirts of market harborough. We visit...

This is a great little oub in a lovely country village. Friendly staff and real great beer and food. Loved it.

Realmente bonito y pequeño pub local que ha desarrollado unas cervezas de artesanías. La gente super amable que dirige el lugar y llegó a nuestro brewmeister mesas para hablar sobre sus cervezas. Los alimentos básicos pero muy típico para un pub local en una pequeña...

La comida era buena, pero la espera para el servicio espantoso. Esperar unos 20 minutos para ser servido tazón de sopa. Campo principal era a tiempo ya que era autoservicio. Finalmente, la espera para nuestros postres para ser servido fue horriblemente largo (unos 30 minutos)....

Hemos estado un par de veces para asados de domingo y volveremos este domingo! Es muy rico y con un servicio amable. El menú de la semana es la pena probar! Un pub muy auténtica, pueblo amable. Sigan con el buen trabajo!

We'd just come back from a sunny holiday and too tired to cook so went for a local carvery. Not been here for a while but I wasn't disappointed. Plenty of meat served and plenty of fresh vegetables. Chef was great and chatty. Worth a trip out on a Sunday.

With three hungry kids and two tired parents at 8pm on a Friday night (and no food in the fridge) we walked through the doors of this lovely village pub! They made room for us no problem (even though it was busy) and the kids had the chicken on the children's menu (great value good portions) and we had a camembert sharing board (superb).This pub is exactly what it says on the tin, a good old fashioned village pub selling well kept beer and good pub grub at excellent prices. The friendliest staff top off the experience. Great antidote to your overdone overpriced gastropub ! Well done guys. We need to try your Sunday roast next

Generous helpings of fair quality food. Don't eat here to impress, but it is fine for a mid-week dinner. Typical pub food on the menu plus a few extras.

Tried the guest beer, Bass. Fresh but completely tasteless. Seemed as though it had been watered down. Not good at all. Shame as we would have stopped for another.
