The Badgers Sett in Charnwood

Fantastic food Fantastic service

We came to the Badgers Sett for a date night evening meal. What a beautiful place to eat. Such a lovely vibe, open fire, cosy yet modern feel. Exceptionally clean. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best we have ever tasted. I had a veggie starter and main, cooked perfectly. My Partner had skewers and flatbread. delicious. Highly recommended, and we will definitely go again and will be booking a table as soon as we can.

Fantastic venue and brilliantly served by Fin and Chloe. I’ll definitely be coming back. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Amazing beer garden. Perfect place to come after a walk around the Bradgate park with your doggies and family ! Great Sunday lunch be back again for sure !

I had fish and chips. The chips were over cooked and very dry. The fish was cooked well, but the batter kept sliding off the fish, making it hard to eat the two together, and the mushy peas were like those out of a tin. I was disappointed with this meal.

Lovely atmosphere, great vibes, with fast and friendly service. Stan was a brilliant waiter.

Will was amazing. His first day on the floor and smashed it

Had a lovely meal here, will definitely be returning soon. Staff were great too!

Sunday lunch was not up to it's usual standard. Rock hard yorkshire puds, sent cauliflower cheese back as dried up and hard. Table next to us had loud music playing on phone, disturbing everyone around, staff did nothing to stop the excessive noise. Not an enjoyable experience. Poor service overall. Very disappointed. It's our local, but don't think we'll be returning anytime soon. Staff friendly enough, but busy and very poor service.

Very busy Sunday, was supposed be an hours wait till seated, but they got us in quicker. Best roast and wellington we've all had in a long time. Baby even enjoyed the food 🥘

Great food , staff very friendly. We were looked after by Thea . She was great !

Good food. Service was good. Decent prices

Service very slow. Food was average.

Great atmosphere and service my thea! Thanks 🤩

Delicious food and amazing service the staff really go above and beyond for every guest! I certainly will be coming back !!!!

Disappointing! We’ve been before and the service and food have been excellent. Unfortunately, this time it was; slow and they made mistakes. There were several items that weren’t available, which for a Saturday evening is poor. The poor service ruined the evening.

Popped in for lunch with some pals, seated straight away, food great - thanks to Noah for serving us 😀

Noah was fantastic. He provided a great service throughout the night and definitely deserves 5 stars!

Perfect service from Dave was very helpful with what meals I could eat due to my allergies! Definitely be back!!

The atmosphere was nice though we were 1 of 2 tables, it seemed very quiet and we now see perhaps why. The server was really nice and knew her stuff, very hot on the allergies which was great. When the food arrived we were a little taken back by the portion sizes! My partner ordered a chicken kebab and to say there was probably 1/2 of a chicken breast as the amount you got off a skewer was less than filling. This was supposed to be a main and we both agreed that it was a starter size. For the price of the meal and what we recieved felt worlds apart. I ordered the duck pizza but I wouldn't call it that, the amount of duck again was so minimal you could barely taste it at all, the idea was good and the sauce on it was great but the duck was very lacking. We did consider a desert as we were still hungry after the mains but glad we didn't as we saw the other table receive the smallest size of sticky toffee, and for the price listed again seemed very wrong. To summarise, the portions and prices are very misleading, the quality wasn't even there to argue for the cost, there wasn't anything special about the food we received.

Came in on the weekend with some friends. Busy restaurant but to my surprise amazing service. Big shoutout to Noah and all the chefs

We live in the village went for a few drinks with friends and we will never return it was filthy EVERY table needed clearing of dirty glasses and plates ended up clearing a table to sit at !!! I felt sorry for the 2 bar staff who were working so hard whilst the manager sat outside surely it would be all hands on deck if u were busy such a shame that the pub has been ruined 😡

We planned a day out with the dogs at Bradgate Park which was lovely. Had a quick drink afterwards at The Griffin which was amazing. As I had booked a table by the window in the dog area at The Badgers Set, we didn't want to cancel. On arriving at the Badgers Set we realised that the pub was under staffed.....queue to order drinks, another queue to pay for meals, dirty tables, bar clustered with dirty glasses. We were shown to our table, not by the window as planned, but the chairs were too low to eat at the table. We swopped table when we could ...and had to ask for it to be cleaned and glasses removed. Food was ok , not amazing, expensice for what it was. Staff looked super tired, and fed up with the work load, as apparently it was a busy day! The busy day should have been forecast by management as the weather was lovely, and it being a Saturday. After eating.....we had to sit amongst dirty tables around us, full of plates/glasses etc. The moral of my story is , why don't the managers get more staff in and trained up when they know it will be busy. So disappointed, as it was supposed to be a special night.

Noah made our experience at Badgers Sett enjoyable. He was friendly, helpful and went out of his way to make our experience excellent. Defo employee of the month. Thank you.

Great service. Lots of gluten free choices. Wonderful friendly staff. Had a good experience and attentive service by Noah.

This spot is fantastic great food and great company. Thankyou to Noah your service was impeccable nothing was too much trouble will come again .

Great service at the Badger’s Sett from Noah!

Went on a busy Friday lunchtime was served by Noah who was brilliant even though he was extremely busy he was very attentive

Food was nice but food came late after we ordered. But would definitely go again

Good food , good service. Emily was 10/10 in service

Lovely country pub in a beautiful locale. We visited on a Sunday and ordered the sirloin roast and a burger. Food was delicious and arrived quick. You can either order at the bar or via a QR code at your table. The bar offers dog friendly seating away from the main restaurant. The pub is about a 10minute drive from Bradgate Park. Recommend you book a table as it appears to be very popular!

Terrible place!! Was sat for over an hour before food even came out, and food was cold when it did come out! Ordered 2 separate starters; prawns & mushrooms and they came mixed together and I do not like mushrooms, this shouldn’t have happened. Food was taken to be re warmed but came out the exact same! The chef needs to be SACKED!! I have heard multiple people complain since we have been here. Very unprofessional in this place. The worst I have been too in my life!!

Met friends here halfway between our home locations - lovely setting, very dog friendly (will bring ours next time), relaxed atmosphere, great food and service - would happily come again

This turned out to be much, much better than expected. The food was good, in fact very good. Service was very good and with a smile!

Pip was who served us and was very friendly and offered quick service

The Badger's Sett was perfect for a family lunch. We all loved the food, and the atmosphere was really welcoming. A special thanks to Pip, who was incredibly friendly and made our visit extra enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!

Lovely meal out , Chloe our server was great and all the other staff were really friendly. Food was lovely and a cozy atmosphere.

Never been before. Super welcome, lovely staff. Fabulous menu. Lovely atmosphere, super and clean. Only complaint is that on the Pavlova the whipped cream was Squirty cream not real double cream whipped. Spoilt the Pavlova as cream had vanished and left with lots of meringue and no cream.

Lovely lunch today. Welcome warm, atmosphere relaxed, staff lovely. Food excellent. Only one tiny complaint please put REAL double cream whipped on the pavlova NOT squinty aresol cream. Then the Pavlova would be perfect.

Amazing service from Billie. Lots of laughs and smiles as well as great food

Foods always amazing as well as great service

A delightful evening filled with excellent food. Chloe and the gentleman who served us were wonderful. A really friendly atmosphere with the tasteful decor and open fire. Very cosy on a rainy Friday evening.

The food is always wonderful at Badger’s Sett and we are repeat customers. We sat by the wood fire tonight (so warm and cosy!). Our experience this evening was made all the better thanks to the ever-cheerful Chloe who served us. She made sure we wanted for nothing! Definitely stop here if you are in the area and fancy some hearty, well-cooked pub food in a lovely atmosphere.

Great service, nice and cosy with the fire. Food was good

Visited today at lunchtime, four adults and two children. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming, my granddaughters loved it! Considering how busy it seemed they need congratulating on how calm and professional they all were. Cozy log fires and warm atmosphere too. We have visited several times before, with a four legged friend, and have never been disappointed. Great place for a lunch, thank you all very much.

An absolute cracking afternoon. David and his staff were friendly and professional. Menu was spot on along with the food. Thank you so much everyone!!

Gorgeous meal by a roaring log fire - so cosy. Staff wonderful. We were served by Ethan who was very lovely. Thank you.

Amazing service this evening from Noah thank you for being so accommodating!😁

Great service from Thea. Very friendly and so polite and welcoming. Thank you Thea lovely professional service.

Great service from Chloe. Very friendly and approachable

The skewers were delicious- exceeded expectations re taste.

Great food and service Chloe looked after us all night with food and drinks

Lovely meal! We were served by Chloe who was very attentive & friendly.

Great waitress, very friendly and helpful

Chloe was amazing! 🤩 thanks for a lovely evening

I had a birthday meal here with the family and Chloe was our waitress who was very polite and helpful, and got the food sorted correctly and promptly. Overall good service and would recommend.

Excellent food and service. The atmosphere is amazing and very cozy. Nice place to have lunch or dinner with the family. PET Friendly 🙌

Came here for Sunday dinner and sadly quite dissapointed. The meals took an age to come out which to be fair we didn't mind hoping for a top quality meal. When the food eventually arrived sadly although presented very well the food was at best tepid and at £22 per meal not including side dishes I expected a hot meal. The meats were very nice but not hot added with the luke warm veg and topped with cold gravy sadly made the experience one to both forget and not repeat. To be fair to our server Thea when she came over to ask how things were when I told her the meals were cold she did immediatley offer to take them to get reheated and was very apologetic. After waiting so long to get our food though and not fancying my meal reheated in a microwave I declined the offer but will say your team member Thea was very professional. Had the food been hot and not taken so long to arrive at the table from ordering would have made the visit enjoyable but at over £110 for 3 meals and a couple of drinks sadly makes this my last visit to this pub.

Absolutely dreadful, slow service And unfortunately they are completely unaware how poor they are. Over cooked food.

We had a lovely meal at the badgers set. Noah, as always is the best, ever ❤️ xx Thank you The Merry's

Thanks to Rhya, Hannah and Hollie for coming over from the Quorndon Fox and looking after us this evening at the Badgers Sett.

Fin and Stan were very attentive and helpful, made the evening amazing. Lovely place and service.

Lovely evening, main meal was sparse in my opinion, BUT very tasty, (fishcakes) dessert (sticky toffee pud) imo should have been in a bowl when served with custard, not on a plate. We were served by Finn, very attentive, funny young man, advised us when we asked for preference on desserts Would i come back again - only on a special occasion 😉

Excellent service from Fin. Great attention to our needs. Lovely food. Would recommend 😊

Visited on a very busy Sunday lunchtime. They quickly found a table for us, the pub has a very cosy atmosphere, with wonderful food. Emily ensured we had a wonderful time.

Noah was amazing - great fun and chatty and made sure we were looked after. Great value two course dinner and beside a wood roaring fire after a nice walk around Brad gate park - perfect! All the staff were fabulous keeping good humour and high level of service at a busy weekend

Noah made all the difference - there should be more people like Noah in customer service!!

Excellent food at the end of a long walk around Bradgate country park, and amazing service from Noah despite his incredibly busy day! Great place to stop in for a pint or food if you’re in the area.

We were served by Emily who was very pleasant friendly and attentive - the food was delicious and service excellent

Great food and Noah provided a great Service had a really good night

Where to start? Noah, is the dream server! Watching him interact with us and the other guests in our area, it’s an art & a talent!

noah was amazing, comforting and nice! made atmosphere a 10/10!!

Great visit to Badgers Sett - super attentive service by Noah

Had a lovely dinner here. Would recommend the pork belly. Served by Noah he was amazing, thank you very much

Lovely food and great service from Noah 😀

Noah was lovely - very fun and made the experience

Food was great and presented very well. Noah, our server, was very attentive and accommodating.

Had a lovely meal, for my sisters birthday. It's was great that, we got the 50% discount.. Noah, was really helpful, and extremely pleasant, and welcoming😊

For pub food outstanding and different enough to satisfy all

Food wasn't very warm when served. Never seen such a small portion of chips. Had 50% off voucher, would be very expensive without it for what we got

Was served by Noah and was the most helpful! Such a lovely man, and the food cooked by the head chef was incredible! best food i’ve had out in a long time!!

Lovely food, party of 11 and we all loved the food. Noah was friendly and service was 10/10.

Noah was a great waiter and made the meal extra special for us. Thank you and will be back again soon.

We sat by the fire enjoyed a lovely meal and everyone was so friendly. A special thanks to Noah who made our visit even more enjoyable. Thank you to the team for a great evening.

Thank you to Noah for an amazing service. We felt very well looked after and Noah was very attentive. He was great and enjoyed some humour with us too which was so lovely.

Every visit here has never left me disappointed!! The staff are very welcoming and the food is amazing!! I really enjoyed the chicken parmigiana and halloumi fries!!

Lovely evening at The Badger's Sett. 50% off mains woo hoo! Fab mid-week atmosphere with a roaring fire! Nothing was amazing! Never stopped all night but always had a smile! Thank you!

Very happy with our meal and service. Food was lovely and lots to choose from on the menu. The only thing I feel could have helped was a little more space around the tables. We were a little cramped and I had to keep moving to let people get into another room , which was a little awkward has I have mobility issues. Other than that we were very happy and will return at some point. Thank you.

I had a lovely time on Saturday where Thea made sure that me and my family where taken care of

Every time we come here the food is spot on, nice environment and the staff are lovely especially Fin

Not been here in a while but was pleased to see the same friendly faces waiting my table and presumably the same great chefs making my food, didn't get the name of the 2 young women with black hair who waited our table but considering it was a table of 4 (very hungry) people they both shown great hospitality, will definitely be back with the family after our next bimble through bradgate park 👍

I visited here yesterday with my family, the food was quickly served and tasted lovely. Thank you to Thea who was very sweet when serving us, and was very nice to the children with us.

Regularly come here - great friendly service and good quality food in the heart of Crospton. Right next to bradgate park and dog friendly - which is a bonus!

food service and atmosphere were all top notch, and to top it off the service on saturday was phenomenal big thank you to thea for making sure me and my family had lovely meals i will be coming again in the near future

We had a delightful meal this evening and Billie was our server. She was very polite, helpful and learned that my niece is also called Billie and there aren’t many of them about! We both had chicken parmentier and a mini Bakewell tart with chai latte.

Really lovely food, we both had burgers, would recommend. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Thank you Billie!

Went for a wedding anniversary lunch. The service was very good, the atmosphere pleasant we both enjoyed our choices. We will return.

Lovely Sunday meal, exceptional service from Thea

Fin looked after us very very well. He warked extremely hard, always wanting to please us.He had a very pleasant disposition.
