The Badgers Sett in Charnwood

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!

Had a great lunch this Sunday afternoon. Noah served us today and was lovely. Really friendly and kind. Thank you :)

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

Maddie was amazing, great serving, friendly lady.

Well looked after by Maddie, great server, bubbly and very attentive, thanks for looking after us ;)

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

Emily was amazing friendly overall brilliant service thank you yet again

We had a celebratory meal here and the food was delicious. The highlight however was a lady called Maddie. She was polite and attentive to our needs and made sure everything was right for our meal. We watched as she served other customers and again so polite and a really warm manner. Will definitely come back if she looks after us. Thank you.

Really nice evening meal with excellent service from the waitress Maddie(Maggie)

Tried to book in early on a Sunday but all the slots online for lunch had been taken. We were walking that way anyway so decided to call in for a drink. Just asked on the off chance and they were kind enough to accommodate the six of us in the private dining area so long as we were out in time for the booking. Service and food were fabulous. Staff were all so kind and accommodating.

Lovely setting, friendly staff, food alright, but inconsistent and prefer table service for ordering. We had to ask twice for a highchair and we waited sometime before we got one. Our food took along the to come, we waited a long time between first and second courses. There was a slightly fractious service which felt that there either wasn’t enough staff or the staff weren’t managed effectively. The food was alright, good in some part but also poor in others., one of our party had a a block of pork fat for their trio roast rather than a belly pork serving. Overall I’d go again but I’d ask that things get a little more together.

Great time - Maddie was a brilliant server! Very helpful

Lovely cosy pub with a good choice of Sunday roasts. They have a roaring fireplace during winter creating a lovely atmosphere. Lots of space and friendly staff. The chocolate trio was delicious.

Thea provided really great service she was extremely polite and helpful

Lovely food, and great service from Tiffany!

Had an amazing Sunday lunch and great service from Tiffany!

After our last visit we said we would not go back to this establishment. However, circumstances led to us having another meal there today. After our last review, we had a response that our comments would be shared and reviewed with the staff. Based on our experience today this appears not to have happened or the staff didn't listen. The beef dish, the meat was fine but everything else was only just warm. Cold plates did not help the situation. Will only return as a last resort for food. Drinks fine, staff pleasant and attentive but they didn't ask if everything was OK. Given that we had the same negative experience on 2 consecutive visits, guess they have got fed up of having to deal with unhappy customers. Yon need to get your act together Village Inns

Really lovely meal, enjoyed a quiet lunch after a walk locally. Tiffany was really friendly & attentive, couldn't ask for more.

Good food, decent price, nice atmosphere!

Just had a Sunday lunch and it was extremely tasty 😋 Thank you Thea, great service.

Great food, Friendly staff and a great atmosphere, would definitely return. Love the fact it's Woofer Friendly. 10/10

Amazing food! Perfect for a weekend lunch! Our server Leah was brilliant. 10/10!

Thank you Leah for a lovely meal

Cosy environment. Great food selection - most of our party enjoyed the skewers which were fantastic. Our server Leah was so friendly and made us feel comfortable and well looked after!

Another fab meal at the Badgers sett. Love how close this place is to home. Atmosphere and food is always great. Our servers Noah and Leah were great. Polite, friendly, attentive couldn't ask for better, thank you. Look forward to our next visit

Been here a few times now, twice for Sunday lunch and last night for an evening meal. Food and service is always really good. Tiffany was great last night - attentive, friendly and really helpful. Will definitely be back!

First time having Lunch at The Badgers Sett. Fantastic dining experience. Our server, Leah was very welcoming and was on hand for all of our requests making the experience feel VIP. Thank you! Great quality food, great portion sizes. Would highly recommend

Visited The Badgers Sett tonight and it was fantastic. Tiffany was so lovely and accommodating nothing was to much trouble. 100% recommend the burgers were lovely and tasty

Nice decor and atmosphere. Service good from Leah and Noah and food reasonable. Only negative put on a little table in a corner when other space in the restaurant.

Incredible food, both mains and deserts

Fantastic Sunday lunch, and served by lovely Noah. Excellent wine too. Good service even though they were incredibly busy

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

Great service by Emily and very nice food

Been to the Badgers Sett, in Cropston yet again. Keep coming back for the top quality food and outstanding service. Many thanks to all the staff involved

Food was excellent and the birthday plate we got was a very nice touch and we will be back soon!

Badgers sett is one of my favourite pubs locally,always fresh and delicious food served,staff is very friendly, especially David ,that looked after me and my mum during our dinner, outstanding service ,thank you so much 🙏

Excellent meal, David was an excellent waiter

Relaxed, comfortable environment, friendly and efficient staff - and great food.

Me and my fiancée came here for a lovely date night dinner last night. I had heard good things about the Badgers Sett and it did not disappoint. Our server Emily was lovely and catered to our needs. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Very nice Sunday lunch with friends,1st visit for years and a massive improvement on how it was

We visited the Badger's Sett for lunch and would highly recommend it. It's a relaxed, comfortable dining environment with friendly, efficient staff and great food

We had a lovely meal with very friendly staff, great quality good and we will definitely be returning. Thank you to Chris!

Terrible cold food Overpriced Another now chain owned place gone to ruin

Lovely meals, great service, very warm and welcoming atmosphere every time 👍

Excellent food, amazing Baked Vanilla Cheesecake and really warm, friendly service.

Lovely 80th family celebration. David was so kind and attentive to all of us, from the birthday girl all the way down to the 4 year old and baby. Thank you David and all the team at the Badgers Sett. X

Booked in for Sunday lunch, food was fairly decent, although it missed the mark slightly. Service was appalling, which is a shame as this place is a firm favourite and we regularly visit. I appreciate it was a bank holiday Sunday, there were ample staff, but we had to keep trying to find a member of staff when we required service during our meal.

A wondrously dreamy country pub. From the moment we drove up to it, we fell in love. Everything about this business is perfect: the service is friendly and warm, the food is hearty and delicious, and the location is perhaps one of the best in Leicestershire. There appears to be a real sense of apathy amongst those working in the hospitality industry at the moment - I’m not sure whether that’s a generational problem, or a product of a failing economic order - but the team at The Badger’s Sett (where is the apostrophe, by the way? The marketing was conflicted on this point - my only criticism!) are an exception to this rule. They are all such fabulous and wonderful people. Thank you, to all, for running such a marvellous establishment, to which we will return with vigour, delight and relish! Xx

Great service from David, who made a family birthday lunch so much more enjoyable. The food was delicious and we had a cosy table by the roaring log fire. We will come again!

Lovely setting, cosy and warm. We were sat next to the fire which made things seem even more snug. Our server, Emma was lovely, attentive without being pushy, friendly and very pleasant. A thoroughly lovely evening

Lovely evening with delicious food and a nice and cosy atmosphere. Service was spot on, Noah was lovely, serving with a smile. Would definitely recommend :)

Emily was friendly and attentive.

Lovely meal at the badgers sett! First time visiting since the new menu and didn’t disappoint, really lovely and attentive waiter Noah! Would return :)

A lovely place for dinner, a wonderful atmosphere with great food.

Noah was very helpful and very friendly. The food was amazing x

Great, service prompt Not so great. Because the plates were cold the vegetables were only just warm and by the end of the meal cold. The meat temperature was fine. Because we were on a time schedule we did not have time to complain. The quality was good but most of the food was cold. Nobody checked if the food that had been served was OK and when paying no one asked if the food had been OK.

Great food and service by Noah. Really cosy atmosphere with a log burner.

Food was great. Thanks to Noah and Billie

Beautiful pub, great atmosphere, always had a nice buzz

We had lovely service from Billie this evening.

Great place and equally great service from Noah 😃

Lovely place and service. Thanks Leah.

Leah was amazing! Great service, Great food!

Lovely pub, delicious food and great service, thank you Leah!

Lovely place, nice food. Leah the server was very friendly

Emily provided amazing service!

Great service from Emily tonight. Thank you

Emily was a very attentive server. Throughout the meal she made sure we had everything we needed.

Amazing service by Leah and amazing new food menu, highly recommended 😊

As our first time at the establishment, we found the Badgers Sett to be a wonderful visit. We ordered Sunday lunch and although the vegetables were slightly over cooked, the meat was tender and delicious and the lemon tart was exquisite. Our server Tiffany, was attentive and friendly and the whole place had a charming and cosy feel about it. We will definitely visit again.

Had a really good meal and service from Tiffany. Thank you all and will definitely be. Sick soon.

Came here again yesterday, Service was great as ever, will be back soon !

Very friendly pub, had a lovely breakfast and had brilliant service from Chris!

Such an enjoyable meal, beautiful surroundings, and so good to see Noah, best in the business.

The food was average & because of what seemed like shortage of staff service slow

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

Came sunday and nothing but great service from dave and great food

Another recent visit, the atmosphere and food was amazing! Credit to the staff. Will be back again for sure, especially with the great beer selection on draught.

great countryside pub for a evening dinner with friends, great service from lovey people

Come here at least one month when I get the chance and it never disappoints, service is always amazing and the food is fantastic every visit, I recommend this restaurant every time!

A lovely place to spend an evening. Great offering and a better team!

Came for Sunday lunch and absolutely amazing food and service. Be back for sure !

Very cosy environment, staff are welcoming and the food is a 10/10!!!

Beautiful place amazing service and meal.

I have been a visitor to this pub, many times over many years. I'm not sure if it's under new management, most of it's staff have walked out or it's just generally gone way down hill. We booked a table for 5 at 8pm for my Dad's Birthday. We arrived around 7.50pm and although the car park was very busy, the pub seemed quite empty. There was no one in the bar and 1 other couple in our seating area. We we're served drinks in a timely fashion and order taken for food but then it went rapidly down hill. After just over an hour from ordering, we were asked if we wanted any more drink, i asked if we were likely to get any food. Within 5 minutes he was rushing to the table with what looked like very hurriedly plated starters. Our pate had no caramelised red onion chutney and the rustic toasted bread was thinly sliced ciabatta bread. The baked scallop & king prawn had 3 prawns (nothing king about them) and 2 scallops that were very over cooked and at the price of £12.25, it was disgraceful. As they'd run out of chutney, they offered to change my starter for the creamy oven baked garlic mushrooms. At this point, it had gone from bad to worse! The mushrooms were barley covered in any sauce and there was something placed on the top which resembled and had the texture of dirt. There was no improvement with the mains. 3 of the meals 1 x signature burger and 2 x grilled bacon chop were served with those awful skin on french fries which were actually cold. The onion rings were cold and snapped. The bacon chops consisted of a slither of gammon, with excessive rind and i think by the size, they used quail eggs. The place also seemed to have a layer or grease on it. The pie was terribly dry and over cooked and we had to ask for the gravy, which had been left off. All in all, this has to be the worst meal i have had in years. I've been served far better food in Wetherspoons for a fraction of the cost. I have no problem paying exceptional prices for exceptional food but what we were offered was far below the standard i would expect, for the prices you charge. You let yourself down on service, presentation and quality and although you too off the cost of the starters from the bill and gave us a half heated excuse for such poor service, i don't think any of us would ever use the pub again! 5 very unhappy customers and a ruined Birthday Meal :(

Just had Sunday lunch here - 1 x Belly Pork & 1 x Lamb Rump. Absolutely gorgeous! Unlimited gravy, loads of veg & massive yorkshires! Our drinks order was taken by a young lad on his first shift - he was very charming & funny & put us at our ease straight away. Our food order was taken by Pip 😊 who was very friendly, polite & gave service with a smile. In fact all the staff we encountered were smiling. Was a genuinely great experience. We’ll be back 😀

Lovely venue & great service from Chris & his colleagues. We all had the Sunday roast dinner (turkey) which was lovely. My elderly mum had some difficulty cutting into the crispy roast potatoes but on a positive note - it left her with a bit of room for a delicious dessert. Will definitely go again.

Unfortunately seems to have gone downhill recently. On two separate occasions in recent weeks, most of the food was cold and took a long time to come, when it did there were parts missing. Portion sizes were also really disappointing compared to other similar establishments. Excessively expensive for the quality of food and service. The staff are polite and trying their hardest but they seem stressed and out of their depth, lack of management and direction maybe? A lot of other tables were having similar issues too, which created an awkward atmosphere. Overall a hugely disappointing and exhausting experience, hate to say I won’t be back as before recent weeks we’ve never had a single issue here.

I am sorry but the food let you down today for Sunday roast beef dinner. Absolutely lovely pub with a proper log fire and excellent attentive staff. The beef was really good and tender but the roast potatoes were tough and it was warm but not hot as a Roast should be. I am sorry to be critical but when I am paying £19.95 for it I have to give criticism 😔

Ideal place for a nice dinner with amazing ambience . There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The drinks are pretty decent . The pricing is also pretty good for the service provided.

Nice pub, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff! Tiffany our server was incredibly welcoming and attentive

Tiffany’s service was fantastic and she was really great handling my wife’s mustard allergy! Thank you!

My husband & myself had been recommended to visit the badgers set by our daughter. We had a lunch with our grandson whose favourite main was pizza. He had the one form the main menu & loved it! ! Managing to eat it all & have ice cream for dessert! I had the garlic prawn showers & chips which was delicious. Pip was friendly & helpful while serving us and nothing else as too much trouble. We were one of the first in restaurant & it filled up very quickly with groups of diners who all looked like they were enjoying getting together for a Saturday lunch as we were. Will definitely make a return visit with the rat if our family.

Booked The Badgers Sett for a family meal on Sunday. We were moved from our original table as we had a dog which is completely understandable. However, it felt as though where we were then sat was isolated from everywhere else. Nobody came to do check back’s on food. All of our meals were cold and took a long time to arrive considering we had two children under the age of 5. The table next to us had dirty plates and dishes on it the entire time we were sat there. Bar staff not the friendliest when going up to order food/drink either. For such a lovely pub in a nice location we have been left very disappointed as we have been before and it’s been excellent.

Billie was fab- very attentive. Roast dinner was delightful!

A pleasant meal but with our guests, we all thought the meals were slightly on the pricey side !

We visited on a Sunday and chose from the Sunday menu which was fantastic. We all had roast dinners but there were plenty of 'normal' options too such as steaks, burgers, and pasta. My mum had a few special requests for her meal and our server Thea was very accommodating, she alone gets 5 stars from us! The pub is very cosy and has a dog friendly section separate from the main restaurant, and a fire which we appreciated since it was chilly outside. The food was fantastic and beautifully presented, and the lamb and pork were cooked to perfection (the carrots were a little hard but that may just be our preference, but the crackling was the best i've had....ever?! ). We'd definitely recommend the Badgers sett to anyone!

Billie was our server and she was amazing

Served by Billie, lovely service and meal x

Lovely atmosphere and amazing service
