The Beer Hall at Everards of Leicestershire in Blaby

We’ve visited a few times and never been that impressed but thought we would try it again. Sadly it has not improved. Our drinks order was taken reasonably quickly and drinks were served without much delay, albeit by someone who had little personality. When it came to taking our order, we were told the fish and chips were not available, which is something one of our party wanted, resulting in a last minute rethink - why were we not told of unavailable items when the menus were handed out? The server took our order without noting what we had selected - perhaps not surprising then that our sharing starter never arrived! If people can’t remember, don’t try and be clever - write it down! The food was very slow in arriving and when it was brought to the table it was ok but nothing special. The chips were lukewarm and unappealing. No one asked us how our food was. One of our party ordered an additional drink which never arrived. Such a shame that a great looking restaurant seems unable to get the basics right.

Good food, service lovely, really friendly helpful staff, shame about air con. There is no air con so it’s very hot in the building when we went as warm outside. Would go back but in winter only.

Visited the beer hall aiming for a few drinks and a cheeky bar snack. The menu is on the pricey side - which is not a problem if the service is even mediocre. Instead, you’re paying prices to be glared at by staff that appear to want to do anything but pour a beer/ provide a friendly service. We went to the bar, waited 10 minutes where not a single drink was poured, and continued to wait, only to be ignored. We decided to go somewhere else. Needless to say, we won’t be returning to the beer hall. Shame really as the building is lovely.

I have been a customer of Everards for years, often coming with family or large groups of food. The menus had gotten steadily more average, but still passable, until the latest version. Today I came with friends and ordered from their sandwich menu, and received a very mediocre and disappointing snack, which felt like a stale scrap from a pantry. Paid extra for fries (which were always included) and counted 12. 12 skinny French fries. Bread stale. Has been going steadily downhill for over a year now but after today I won't go back unfortunately.

Overpriced and undercooked! Ordered the fish finger bap ( comes with lettuce and tartar sauce . Waited half an hour which I didn’t mind. When it arrived the batter on the fish was soggy inside - completely undercooked. The lettuce was three tiny leaves . The garnish was a few crisps . The cost of the meals was over a tenner. The glass of wine (small ) was £5.50. Was very disappointed as the place looks great , someone did an excellent job on the design.

After eating the fish and chips here two of my party were ill. I contacted them afterwards and got the impression that they did not believe me! The chef was only interested if we had sought medical attention, who seeks medical attention for being sick?! The duty manager, Claire then just chose to ignore my email. I would have thought a large company like Everards would have a little bit more customer service. This place survives on its impressive building , it’s such a shame the food is so bad.

We frequently visit family in Leicester and the Beer Hall has become a regular. The ambience is wonderful, food and beer very good, staff friendly and efficient and prices are good value. It’s good for all ages and dogs are welcome. It’s very spacious, warm and comfortable. An excellent venue!

This places serves great beer and the chance to taste an enormous range, food is good and staff are friendly… but why oh why does it always smell of fish? Please invest in a more effective extractor fan 😗 I’ve feedback to staff numerous times and they always agree so…

Looking for a relaxing brunch we arrived at this Beer hall at 10.40 on Saturday At the entrance a sign states “wait here to be served “ So we did for 5 minutes No sign of any service despite staff at the bar about 25m away Eventually we went to the bar to request a table for brunch It was 10.50 The server gleely advised that breakfast is finished This was despite the menu stating breakfast served till 11.00 am Ha she said pointing to the small print Orders need to be made 15 minutes before!!! So at 10.50 NO BRUNCH AVAILABLE Any chance of being fed? No chance, basically, sod off Thanks a lot Service in British eating establishments alive and kicking- not!!

I can't really fault the service as this is the first time we have walked in without a booking. We were immediately served and taken to a table. My partner and I ordered the pulled beef ragu pappardelle....absolutely disgusting!!! I think my dog has eaten better meals, or maybe it was meant for a dog?? Menu is limited, poor variety and extremely overpriced for what you get... Definitely won't bother to eat here again. Such a shame as it's a unique atmosphere and could be something really special.

I was so looking forward to returning to Everards with my family after my previous visits with friends which I had thoroughly enjoyed for food and drinks. but sadly was very disappointed with the food and cleanliness this visit. Firstly it took 10 mins standing at the reception desk to ask for a table before a member of staff took us to a table (queuing with 10 other customers), then we were placed at a table near the back with the breeze coming from the back door, there was a staff door next to us that was pretty stained, cloths and food on the floor near the serving hatch, a pretty poor table. it then took 30 minutes to have our order taken, service staff were polite but not as friendly as previous visits. my husband has a Gluten intolerance and we asked for a Gluten free menu which sadly was not available but we were offered the allergy file, which showed a distinct lack of options for many allergy sufferers. He chose the gammon, egg and chips, gammon was ok but the eggs were overdone and the chips must have had some gluten as he suffered with bloating after the meal. My daughter and I shared some chicken wings which were overdone and hardly had any chicken on them to eat, some nachos which were overdone, deep fried tortillas - I would not recommend (in fact I would advise to take off the menu - we did mention this to the member of staff but she just acknowledged the comment and cleared our plates). Good news is that the BLT and chips for my son were very tasty and enjoyed. Sadly the visit was not well received and my family will not now be returning to eat anytime soon. We do hope this improves.

Visited with family, and we were thrilled to be seated in a barrel booth! Food was tasty and service was good. The whole place has a great vibe, with drinkers, diners and dogs all welcome! The only negative was my Moscow Mule was served in a glass instead of a copper mug!

Hurry Hurry ...if you want to spend £11 of your hard earned cash for some stale flatbread ..unripe cherry tomatoes . Cheap olives and beetroots hummus that tastes of absolutely nothing this is the place for you...just shocking!

Attended for lunch with 6 colleagues. I have been here before for drinks but have never had food. The place is clean and well presented. Service was good and our waitress was very friendly. The issue came with the food. I ordered the fish finger cob but was told they had none as they were waiting for a delivery of fish. She said fish and chips were available which was confusing as the fish finger was fish in the same batter as the fish and chips. Surely they could use half a fish and stick it in a cob 🤷🏽‍♀️. I instead chose the buttermilk burger along with 3 of my colleagues. As soon as it came out I could see the chicken was overcooked and dry. It certainly had not been cooked fresh and looked like it had been sat under a heater for hours. It tasted the same too. Not wanting to make a fuss infront of my colleagues I made do with the meal. The others that had the chicken burger all said theirs were dry too and they had to add additional sauce. I did make the waitress aware of how poor my food was so that she could tell the chefs. She was apologetic but did not come back to update that she had spoken to the chef so I don’t know if the message was passed. I will return here for drinks in future but won’t be wasting my money on any more food

A lovely visit to Everard’s Meadows this evening. Fantastic food, a really great atmosphere, and exceptional service from Claire at the reception. She is a credit to the Everards Brand. The bear hall is a jewel in the crown of Leicester, and I have always had a really lovely meal there.

Great beer on tap ! Chips great too but really let down by the service of the youngest waitress who was incredibly rude and spoke about me at the bar because I had the audacity to ask for a le chouffe in a le chouffe glass and not a standard half pint glass. Thereafter was just plain rude and dismissive. Such as same because we would of stayed for another. But when the table is completely empty it would have been nice to have been asked if we would like another drink rather than be ignored. The other staff seemed OK but unfortunately we won't be going back.

Tasty food and good service. I had aubergine pappardelle and an excellent salad followed by ice cream. Not many vegetarian options but the food was very well cooked.

Made it to the beer hall for the first time finally and I wasn’t disappointed. I’d seen some mixed reviews about the service especially, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I can’t fault the service I got from the bar staff. A friendly chap with a beard and accent was very patient with all my questions about the beer. The place has a great atmosphere too. I’ll definitely be back. Can’t wait to try the patio in the summer.

Drop in on the off chance, nothing wrong with the food so ever it was very enjoyable. However, the process of sitting down for a drink and possibly food was some what confusing. As there as no clear instructions about the system without booking from the welcoming staff, wait dressing staff and bar staff. That starters would come out with main meals etc. requires to be made clear when frist arrive without booking at each station. So there is no confusion. Would still recommend.

One of the worst meals I've had. The Meadows platter starter was just odd and entirely unappetising but the real problem was the bavette steak: difficult to cut through and impossible to chew. It was cold, as were the oven chips it came with. To their credit, they did not charge me for the steak after I complained.

We came here for drinks and snacks on a Saturday afternoon. From the start, it wasn’t the best welcome as we were told we would be lucky to find anywhere but alas we did manage to find a table! The service wasn’t great but our...

Such a lovely decorated restaurant & a great place to go with the family. Always a pleasure visiting and I will be back again soon!

We went here for our Christmas works dinner but decided to go off the normal menu. Firstly the building and interior is gorgeous. No complaints there. The service wasn’t too bad either. However I felt most disappointed with my meal. I had the chicken wings...

Food was nice but service was awful. Firstly a friends drink order was forgotten about, then my 5 year old daughters meal wasn’t served with the rest of the food. After about 10 minutes it became clear that that had been forgotten too - I...

Stop there frequently with my dog after a walk in the meadows. Always a great experience and such a lovely atmosphere and staff. Really enjoyed the festive menu as well. Not the same old items on every pub menu!

Three of us had the steak it was sliced looked about half the size of normal on top of skinny chips covered in pepper sauce none of us could chew ( tough ) it lost any flavour due to the sauce in our opinion a...

Sadly all the breakfast staff were not happy at all not one smiled , took 10 minutes after ordering drinks to get them but food order was quick and breakfast very nice

As per a below review mentioned, the ambience and decor is superb, especially with the Christmas decorations. It really is a lovely place to visit. The menu is limited, but a Christmas menu was provided, which had creatively put a different spin on some Christmas...

I live locally & have been meaning to try here for ages. The building is wonderful, very impressed with the interior. It's fab. Looks very impressive. But that's ad far as my good points go. The food MASSIVELY let this place down. The menu is...

A lovely family meal at Everards. A great new menu with attentive service. A wonderful atmosphere in the beef hall with a vibrant mood.

I was visiting from Canada to see relatives who live in Enderby. We went to the Beer Hall as we liked the look of the building and its history. However, we were appalled to see dogs allowed. Not everyone likes dogs despite what their owners...

We booked a guided tour/beer tasting followed by lunch. The tour guide was excellent (both friendly and very knowledgable). Lunch was delicious. The staff were helpful and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

First time we visited we have been served by Adriana, so I came back last Saturday with a group of friends and hoped to see her and experience her impeccable service again and I have found out that she’s GONE? I can’t believe it, I...

Great evening at the beer hall. The food was really good. Portions size was generous and our server Roshae was lovely. It was a busy evening with a vibrant atmosphere.

We had a fantastic experience, right from the warm and friendly greeting at the front desk, through to being seated at a clean and spacious table and attentive, informative and friendly service throughout our lunch from Emma B. The dog in our party was also...

Had a lovely catch up with friends. Food and service was excellent. Roshae was fantastic and very helpful. Would come here again

What a shocking experience that was. Table service was abysmal .Empty glasses left on table from pre starter arriving, to after main course was over. To top it of the embarrassing situation at the end when they would not accept cash that was kindly gifted...

Great food and lovely service from AJ who looked after us so well . Recommended and great value too

Thank you so much for a lovely meal, service was excellent we had a fantastic time. Family time thank you

I am so sad to write this review. It should have been great. Been for drinks before and its a lovely venue, nice selection drinks including a fabulous range of beers. However, this time we thought we'd eat there. Best advice is - don't bother....

The service provided by Holly was really good and attentive ! Too often can go out for a meal and nobody asks if you want another drink when your glass is empty ! Appreciate that Holly looked after us ! Burger + Gammon meals brilliant...

This was our visit to the restaurant for lunch and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable as I am coeliac and needed to know what I could have. I played safe and had the gammon. When it came it...

Not sure where to start? I suspect the menu change would cover most of my gripes. I have been a regular here since the place opened and have always made a point of suggesting the place to friends and family. However, not sure whether I...

Really disappointed with the service and the food .. Toast you could have used as shoe leather so hard !!! Coffees were nearly cold on arrival .. When I took them back myself was told “I would have a very long wait for replacements” 😡...

We have just got home from an absolutely fantastic meal. All 4 of our meals and desserts could not have been tastier. Our waitress Daisy Really looked after us, and made us feel welcome and settled at our table, even with our two labs. Daisy...

Tillier our waitress was fabulous. Delicious lime and salt speciality beer - yummy nachos. Scrummy chicken - tender and tasty.

I love this place, it has a really great atmosphere and ambiance. The food is pretty incredible, good value, very large portions and delicious. We went for my dads birthday lunch and the waitress Holly was lovely, so attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this...

I’ve heard great reviews about the place and I was not disappointed. For breakfast I had the Shankshula, wow it was absolutely gorgeous, so so tasty. Even the orange juice tastes amazing. Molly the server was very attentive and polite. It was busy however it...

For many years now we’ve loved coming to the Beer Hall, at different times of day, just for a drink or to eat. We’ve bought family and friends who have also loved it and like us, regularly revisited. I had no hesitation in coming here...

Positive points first-The beer hall itself is a wonderful well designed contemporary space suitable for everyone. Dogs are generally allowed inside too. Sadly the negative points are a deal breaker for me, the food is expensive for what is it, the brunch menu is quite...

Everything about this breakfast experience was perfect . We were greeted nicely at the door and taken to a table by the window. Decor is modern , seats comfortable and the place looked clean. We were served by Amelia who came over to us with...

My friends and I enjoy it here. Lovely food and drink and the venue / surroundings are always lovely. Hence the 4 stars. We came this week - to be fair everyone had lovely meals, bar mine which was below average. I’ve added photos of...

The beer hall has cut their menu down significantly which is very disappointing. They used to offer such a wide range of meals but the menu is now very limited. I used to visit frequently but after visiting this weekend for a family occasion, I'm...

This is a lovely place, great decor, great menu and excellent value for money. So pleased it's dog friendly too, and the lovely young girl who served us, brought water for our dogs. Our food was great, but only downside was we had one meal...

The grazing board was delightful! Great service... everything was fantastic! It was quite busy but this did not affect the service

Lovely venue but nothing fir vegetarians other than one dish that gross pretend meat. It would be easy to adapt other dishes

Always wanted to dine at this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Booked in advanced and seated in an enclosed booth which were ideal for a young family ,loved the atmosphere and the scenery. Our food was just the right amount and cooked to perfection,...

Came here for a couple of drinks for my birthday. We had a such a lovely day with exceptional service! Adriana especially made special efforts to make sure I had a lovely day! Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic every time, great selection of beers as always. The seared salmon I had was prepared perfectly. Such a great atmosphere and vibe.

This is one of those places where people queue at the bar. Seemingly the place for drunk drivers as I saw customers having multiple drinks and the venue isn’t exactly in a residential area. It’s encouraged to bring your designer pooch along, so the restaurant...

I’ve just had the most amazing breakfast served by Sofie. Will definitely return. From the moment you walk through the door you are made extremely welcome. Thank you to all at Everards .

My first time. Generous portions of food and friendly service. Dog friendly as well. A light and airy building with both indoor and outdoor seating. The brewery adjoins the restaurant, and hosts tours. There is also a well stocked shop on site.

Visited the Beer Hall without a booking and happily they could accommodate us. We just wanted something light so opted for toast, jam and a bacon cob. The service was far better than earlier this month when we booked for lunch. Must admit that the...

Amy L was amazing. Happy, smiley personality and nothing too much trouble Great service and nice food too Thanks

From the moment we walked kn we were welcomed at the entrance with a friendly greeting. Staff were amazing, especially Georgia. Despite the chef making an error with he food order it was rectified and compensated superbly with an apology and a smile. Customer service...

A lovely meal at Everards, with really great service from Emma. Went for our wedding anniversary meal and had a great time. A good atmosphere and selection of food.

This was our third visit this year. Whilst all was generally good albeit service wasn’t quite as good as previous visits, my main observation is the menu needs an update. It was exactly as if was in February and March and could do with some...

Had a lovely birthday meal in great surroundings. The beer as you would expect was excellent, also visited the shop and bought myself a cask of old original. Only criticism would be that the service could have been a little quicker.

Nice Birthday brunch. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Emma A was great. Will be back to try the beer next time.

We booked for lunch with family to celebrate my birthday. Lovely place to eat very good portions, only criticism was that the adults main courses took quite a while to get to the table. However the level of service given by Adriana made up for...

We booked in advance and they let us start half an hour early because it wasn’t too busy. We’re glad that checking the car in avoided car parking charges. The food was fantastic; we had rump steak and fish & chips between us, both excellent....

We popped in here after seeing it when charging the car. The service by Amy was excellent, the food was really good. Get the nachos btw! They are to die for!

I Had a lovely breakfast here lsst week, was seated quickly and attended to by our server honey ver quickly. She was very helpful with what we should choose and was kind and friendly to all at the table. The food was quick to come...

We were a family of 10 - adults and teenagers and had a brilliant Saturday night here. Our Server HONEY was excellent as was the food. Everything we had, service, food and drinks couldn't be faulted. We were nervous before our visit as Saturdays aren't...

The most incredible food and service every time we come to visit on our holidays, always seem to have the same amazing waitress honey who is always so polite, welcoming and efficient to answer any questions we have about the food and drinks. Would highly...

The young lady who served us was so polite, welcoming and genuine. You don’t get that everywhere. So nice to feel welcomed as some places make you feel unwelomed

Came this bank holiday monday and was worried i wouldn’t be able to be sat down due to the restaurant being very busy. Lauren on host made sure to find me a table, i came by myself and ordered the Chicken Burger. Lauren was super...

Been here twice now, once for brunch (most recently) and another time for lunch. Ample parking which is free (just remember to put your registration in) and a really big airy space. Food was ok if a little overpriced but service was great and a...

Great surroundings, beer, food & service by our waitress Ellie. Excellent opportunity to sample a number of the limited edition Everards beers and would highly recommend the beer flight.

Popped in for a bite to eat on the Sunday afternoon before heading to the city for a gig. No free served tables but welcome to sit at a high table and order at the bar, which I did. I had the buttermilk chicken burger...

Visited tonight and it was honestly better than expected. Food was great and all the staff were lovely, young girl called Tillie brought our drinks over and she was chatty and knowledgeable. My drink was especially lovely and everything arrived quickly with good quality, will...

Nice meal would recommend for a chilled night, great to sit outside on an evening. Thanks to Holly for her service

Although it was quite busy for a Monday lunch time it didn’t take long after we were seated before our waiter (Ethan) came and took our order. He was very polite, smiling and attentive & even offered food & water for the dogs. Large choice...

It's a lovely spot for food or a beer. The staff are all really friendly and it's in a stunning location.

We visited on Sunday 21st May and really enjoyed our lunch. We were served by a lovely young lady called Amy who looked after us and we can't thank her enough for her impeccable service! Credit where credit is due :)

Stopped in for a cappuccino after a walk. I was welcomed by Emma who was lovely. Service and coffee was great.

Went for breakfast (Brunch) very friendly greeting from Emma, who was lovely. Had a luxury hot chocolate and Eggs Benedict which were both delicious. Good value for what you get, quality ingredients are clearly used. Thank you to Emma and the team behind the scenes...

Seemless service from our server Lottie. Efficient serving and excellent breakfast. Vegetarian breakfast every bit as good as the traditional full English.
