The Bewicke Arms in Harborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a great find! We celebrated a birthday here this past weekend and cannot recommend visiting yourself. The food, service and venue were exceptional. When we booked they knew we were celebrating a birthday and put balloons and a banner above our table especially and even provided a complimentary cake at the end. We will definitely be returning

The Bewicke has been one of my favourite pubs, for many, many years, and when I heard it was now a Thai Restaurant I was more than a little concerned. I needn't have worried! They've got it spot on. This is still a quintessential English Country pub, just serving excellent Thai food, not to mention great beers, in a welcoming atmosphere with excellent staff. I really can't fault it, and thoroughly recommend this great pub.

Thought we’d give this place as try as it’s become a Thainrestairant. Food was very good although not a vast choice of dishes. Service good with owners and their partners checking everything was OK. Will visit again

Went for a family birthday meal having pre booked. Friendly welcome by staff. Lovely Thai menu. Caters for children by making the meals milder. The food was delicious and flavoursome. Good sized portions at reasonable prices. Good atmosphere and an enjoyable evening.

Loved our visit to you, everything we had was 10/10 thankyou. Such a beautiful warm welcome and will definitely recommend and certainly come back. 🙏🏻

We saw a reference for Thai food at this pub on our local facebook group . Having recently been to Thailand we thought we would give it a try . We were not disappointed the food was first rate and the service friendly and quick. The ribs alone were worth the trip Great selection of beer and larger . I tried most !

Had an excellent Thai meal with friends - food was freshly cooked and delicious - would recommend the Gyoza and Pad Thai. The staff were very friendly - we will definitely be returning.

The Bewicke Arms, Thai Kitchen, really went out of their way to make our evening special, with great Thai food, extra little touches and attention. We went to the Bewicke Arms for a birthday dinner. Large choice of dishes. Food delicious. Service attentive and certainly did more than expected. I would certainly recommend The Bewicke Arms - a very enjoyable night out.

Please note, The Bewicke Arms is now a Thai restaurant! (called 'The Thai Kitchen') I've eaten here twice. The food is of good quality and the venue remains a beautiful historic English pub in a lovely countryside location. On my last visit we were a group of six and we had a mixture of starters including spring rolls and spare ribs followed by the Pad Thai Noodles and the Chicken Cashew Nut Curry. We all really enjoyed our food and had a great evening. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, though their English was unsurprisingly a bit limited. They also have real ale on tap - the Timothy Taylor has been superb both times I've had it.

We were staying at The Sleepy Explorer and it is less than a 5 minute walk. It looks recently updated and the decor is modern with hints of the traditional, it has been really nicely done. Service was very friendly. We did eat, fortunately we like Thai food. Service was quick and the food really nice. Not massive portions but would definitely go again if in the area. The toilets were also spotless and also recently done.

This lovely place has had a refurbishment and looks very smart. The staff are very pleasant and advious that they have only reopened a week or two ago and wove serving Thai food very shortly. When pubs are closing all around us it’s great to see this historic pub come to life again. I wish them every success.

Really warm welcome, fantastic service, excellent food. Couldn't speak more highly of the team who looked after us.

We went with friends on a Friday night and it was wonderful. Very friendly ‘masked’ staff took us to our candlelit socially distanced table and the service was cheery and relaxed. We had two veggie meals, one lamb and one beef and they all looked and tasted wonderful! Banana soufflé and a trio of choccie desserts to finish. Wow! Well worth the gastropub prices :-)

Great Sunday escape , cosy & warm, beautiful wine , juicy succulent flavoured food .. what more could u ask for 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Found this place by mistake, as my Tesla needed charging, and this was the nearest place on the map to where I was. Well, I’m not complaining at all. The staff were incredibly friendly, the pub was cosy and warm thanks to the fire being lit, but the food stole the show! The Scallops were cooked to perfection, and the beef Onglet was so tasty! I’ll be going back there next time I’m in the area, which hopefully won’t be too long 🙏

Friendly staff / owners who were happy to help with anything. Not a huge menu, but something for everyone inc pescatarians & vegetarians. The Fish n chips were delightful (crispy batter) & portions plentiful. Good pub grub using local produce where possible. We would return :)

Fantastic ‘Free House Pub’... Warm, welcoming feel & staff. Well worth a visit, great beer, food & surroundings. A hidden gem, highly recommend a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed a 4 night stay in such a beautiful village. Food served in the pub was wonderful and at such good prices. Staff were very friendly, helpful and could not do enough for us. A really fantastic stay

I live close by and booked a table for dinner at The Bewicke a couple of weeks ago and it was my first visit since the change of management just over a year ago. My experience at that time was dire! The menu, service and food has been transformed by the new team. We enjoyed a superb meal of freshly cooked ingredients a friendly, warm service and value for money. I would highly recommend The Bewicke. The management and team are working hard to alter the past perception of the venue and on this evidence they have everything going in the right direction and deserve to succeed. I look forward to returning very soon now I know there’s a good restaurant with good food close by!

Stopped by for lunch in October. Pub has not changed a lot in 30 years! Food well prepared and fresh, good choice of beers.

Visited here with 9 friends for a Sunday Lunch after a walk in the beautiful surrounding countryside.The roast lunch I had was very good and a generous portion.My pudding was good too, I had treacle tart.Teas and coffees were served with a chocolate biscuit in the saucer, an unexpected extra.Clean washroom and pleasant hand wash and moisturizer provided.The only criticism I had was that we all felt a bit cold, although the waitress did try and stoke up the log burner.I would definitely visit here again.

Service was excellent , very nice waiter and front of house waitressThe food was very good , scallops maybe a little pricy at £11 for 3 , the 4th would have been perfect The cod main was very good The steak was tender and cooked to perfection Over all a very enjoyable evening Will return

I booked this place for my friends 70,the first reason was the hotel was dog friendly.Booked rooms and a table,the rooms were excellent.clean and tidy.the rooms are across the carpark in what felt like barn convertions. Well decorated light and airy. The meal last night was superb,,the presentaion, taste and price was all great.I would strongly recommend this place to anybody.

As a Hallatonian by upbringing I can attest that over the last few decades the Bewicke has had more bosses than the average Premier League football team. Judging by last week's visit the latest have got it absolutely right when it comes to food. I visited with my family for Sunday lunch and it was reassuringly busy, although this did mean it took a while to get served drinks and seated. After that, everything was pretty much flawless. Service from Cisco (sp?) was impeccable and our food - two beef roasts, two pork belies and a cod - top qualiity, there was plenty of it and represented good value. Encouragingly, the Bewicke hasn't gone so 'gastro' that locals are deterred, meaning you get excellent food in a proper village pub environment - the best of both worlds and highly recommended.

Once again we had a fantastic stay at The Bewicke Arms. The room was spotlessly clean, and well appointed. Fresh fluffy towels and hot water on a very wet arrival were most appreciated. Cisco and Ruth are wonderful hosts, and Ruth's breakfast was FAB!! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Spent 2 nights and this lovely hotel and everything about it was perfect.The rooms are lovely and well decorated with lots of amenities in the room, great hair dryer, shower, coffee making facilities and cosy bed.We ate in the restaurant on the 1st night amazing food and great service, the pub is cosy and decorated lovely.The rooms are set away from the pub so no noise - Cisco (hope I spelt that right) is a great host and is on hand to assist where needed.We only had breakfast on 1 day and it was lovely and cooked well and served perfectly.This is a little gem and I would highly recommend - we will definitely return thank youPaula and Dave x

Nice thatched pub in pretty and quite village, backing on to open countryside. Room comfortable and well equipped, wifi excellent, breakfasts good, good parking and staff friendly. However no meals served after five on Sundays and no evening meals at all Monday. Nowhere is this explained on website

I visited this lovely place with a friend for lunch. We had a lovely warm welcome from the staff and a lovely seat next to the window. We chose some food from the menu and ordered. The waiter was happy to address any questions we had. I was not sure what to expect food wise, being vegetarian. When the food arrived it looked amazing, presentation was excellent and it tasted just as good as it looked. everything surpassed our expectations and more. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Tender tasty roast beef Perfect vegetables Amazing Yorkshire Pudding! Charming setting with stunning views Perfect Sunday wind down

Where do I start - absolutely fantastic place to stay and eat. The room was lovely and clean, and had everything you needed in there (towels, coffee machine, iron) - staff very welcoming and helpful on arrival and the whole place dog friendly too!!! Our evening meal was DIVINE!! We had the Breads with Oil and Popcorn Prawns to start - both lovely and fresh, and bread warm. Mains we had were Pork Belly and Sirloin Steak - both cooked to absolute perfection, the best steak my husband has had for years and the pork belly was melt in the mouth with lovely vegetables too. Desserts were Sticky Toffee Pudding and Raspberry Ripple Parfait - both delicious. Very good selection of beers and wines. Checking in and out was very efficient. Waitress (American) was very hospitable and looked after us well. Breakfast was FANTASTIC in the Hare Pie Café - lovely coffee too!!!! Again, the staff were lovely and helpful, and we settled our bill in there in the morning with no problems. Thanks for a lovely stay - see you again in October. We can't wait to come back.

My wife and I were on a walk when we happened upon the Bewicke Arms. It so happened they were celebrating their one year anniversary in business so we decided to stay for the celebration...and then we decided to stay for the night. This is a charming pub with great beer, great food, amazing rooms and a lovely café for breakfast with beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The room was spotlessly clean and very nicely appointed. The garden was filled with people who were all obviously enjoying themselves. The staff were endlessly accommodating and very pleasant. We will be back for a longer stay soon to take advantage of their hospitality and to enjoy the many beautiful walking and biking paths in the area.

We visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch after a lovely circular walk. We were a table of 8 which included two teenagers. We thought the interior was very welcoming and the menu was excellent. 7 of us had starters which was faultless. 7 of us had the Sunday roast dinner. The roast beef was amazing, cooked to perfection. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were lovely. Our main complaint was the lukewarm plates and food. Also the lack of vegetables. Everything was tasty and cooked well but we would have appreciated more vegetables and hotter food/plates. After our meal we sat outside in the glorious sunshine for post-dinner coffees. These were lovely and the outside furniture was very comfortable. However we didn't hang around very long as two of the kitchen staff were having an almighty argument, whilst the kitchen door was wide open. The language (F this and F that) was disgusting. It went on for quite some time and made us feel very uncomfortable and no one intervened. Such a shame as we would have sat outside for longer enjoying our coffee and perhaps more drinks. A lovely pub in a lovely location. Would visit again but perhaps request hot plates next time :)

My partner had the 10oz Waterloo Farm Striploin steak, and it was cooked perfectly! The Mash potato, Jus and Mushrooms that it came with were so delicious!

This was a very pleasant Birthday meal for my wife and myself. It was some 30 years or so since I had last had a meal here and some 15 years or so since I had visited for a pint or two. In that time I believe the pub has changed hands a few times and even closed for a while. The new owners have done a very good job with the decor, keeping a very traditional feel to the pub, nice wood fires, wooden beams and easy comfortable seating etc, whilst giving the place a modern face lift, difficult to get right but the new owners have managed it in my opinion.

Much improved country pub eatery does exceptionally good beef, from Sunday roast to huge rib cut for three or more to tasty steaks. Good quality local produce and nice friendly atmosphere.

Lunch today. Another flag on the map, chosen by family as place to meet for lunch. Great building in beautiful village. A warm welcome from each staff member we met. Good point to see the Hallerton bottle kick (google it) later in April, and a fantastic food spot. Great selection of drinks. Food was, for me, Burrata cheese and mixed tomatoes with pesto to start with a fillet of perfect sea bass with steamed slicers of vegetables and a crispy skin to die for, followed by the Chef’s cappuccino. Others has the roast and the cod and chips. Glorious food, attentive and not intrusive staff. A lovely spot I wish I lived closer to. Enjoy.?”

We went here for an anniversary meal. Service was good and the food was nice enough. The cheapest main was £12.50 which feels steep for sausages. Everything else was much more expensive. My main gripe with it was that online the sample menu was two courses for £14 and this was not available in the pub- almost all the mains were more than this for just one course!

Went to this pub for lunch after a great circular walk around the local countryside. Good selection of beers and varied menu. All very tasty and good value. Friendly staff, clean facilities and beautiful location. In the summer there is plenty of outside seating to enjoy the view.

A lovely warm welcome on a cold, windy, rainy day. The gentleman behind the counter couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. We found a cosy nook for two – the whole place is full of lovely spots to relax in.

The Cafe which had new ownership in October is a pleasure to visit after a walk in the local country side. Lydia the owner very helpful and food very good

We went for a Sunday lunch, good menu, good food prepared well, freindly staff, one good pub to visit .

Had a great Sunday Lunch after a nice walk around to Cranoe and back. Good value for quality food and attentive service.

If you are looking to book a nice country Pub a for Sunday Lunch The Bewicke Arms is a must. Overall good value, good food and service. The only draw back it that is a small country Pub and noisy.

Our first impression of this wonderful place on a raw, damp November day was the cosy and welcoming atmosphere in its series of intimately small rooms. There was a wood burner glowing warmly near our table, dispensing just the right amount of cheer as we settled down to enjoy one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Nothing fancy about the Sunday luncheon menu, but everything was superbly cooked, juicy and flavoursome, and portions were generous without being over- filling. And the smart young staff were attentive and helpful as required. No doubt about it, the Bewicke Arms is quite a place - we’ve already made another reservation.

This was our first visit and the staff could not have been more welcoming. There are several small, intimate rooms, well decorated, although the quirky dog/human pictures were definitely a talking point!!

Had lunch in this recently refurbished pub in the beautiful village of Hallaton and what a fabulous experience it was. The menu isn't extensive but it is comprehensive and caters to all tastes. They had Moules Marinieres on the menu as a starter but happily prepared a main meal portion and served the dish with two chunks of delicious bread. The mussels were sweet and perfectly cooked and the creamy, lemony sauce was excellent. My friend had sole in a brown butter sauce with shrimps and that too was really tasty.

What a find, beautiful village and a stunning pub. We had been recommended by friends to eat there and we were not disappointed. Something for everyone on the menu. We had a lovely meal and excellent service. Will be returning very soon.

Sunday lunch in British pubs is fraught with danger. Too often the meat is overcooked, the vegetables tired and the flavour - well lacking. Not the case at the Bewicke Arms. After a strenuous 7 mile walk through the Langtons and over the Cordalls, we arrived (late) to a warm welcome, a well deserved and excellent pint of Osprey from the Grainstore local brewery and the most divine Sunday roast you could possible wish for. Three of us had roast lamb, with a Yorkshire pudding as an added bonus, one had beautifully cooked fish and chips and even the vegetarian was happy with a chickpea casserole. The puddings of sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble were scrumptious. If you add to that first class, friendly service and warm, cosy - and ancient - surroundings and it is difficult not to feel all is well with the world.

I had recently discovered The Bewicke Arms but it was closed due to changing management.

Wow, three courses for £20! Three great courses, scallops for starters (£3 supplement), beef for main (tender and just pink) and finished off with apple and pear tart with amoretto ice cream. This place is well worth a visit.

Stayed over night at this lovely place. Went for mussels and home made bread for starters, then went for who I believe may have been the owners recommendation of Bass Stone and I wasn't disappointed . Tasted amazing. Highly recommend this place. Dinner with friends, romantic meal out, or even like me a change from brand hotels on a business trip. Would stay again if in the area.

We booked to stay one night. On arrival the place was shut. We found staff in the attached cafe. The pub was not serving food!! In fact they had no customers at all! The room was lovely but sadly with no evening meal or welcome, we won’t be coming back!

I visited the cafe at the weekend for a wedding brunch, this was a planned event yet I was appalled by the speed of service. We arrived as planned at ten in the morning but were still waiting for a cooked breakfast over an hour later. The two orange juice took twenty minutes to arrive at the table but think they misplaced the order. The breakfast was nicely cooked but considering the cost was not worth the price. They have a captive market as the venue is out in the sticks a little but I can’t see me revisiting and wouldn’t recommend to anyone else.

The website omits key information that is essential to enjoying a visit. It does big up the chef, the menu etc etc. and opens at 5pm so we booked a table online for 6pm. As we were being seated we were told Tuesday is quiz night, so there is only a limited bar snack menu AND the kitchen does not start until 6.30pm. We did not travel there for quiz night and bar snack. Update your website so customers are not totally misled with the expectations communicated in your website content.

Booked the Bewicke Arms for an overnight stop on the way to Nottingham.

A one night stay last weekend.Only fault was a bit of a wait for food as eating early (6.30) for health reasons. Bar very busy and lively and food was very good. Room very comfy lovely comfy bed and bed linen good quality.Bathroom stylish and spacious with extra touches not to mention the little fridge in the hallway with complimentary drinks.Breakfast a treat well cooked and hot and plentiful in The Hare Cafe .Would go back again.A very pretty area to visit.

Stayed here for one night at very short notice to celebrate the big mans birthday. The staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating, they gave us a lovely warm room complete with mini bottles of red and white wine plus dinky bottles of fresh milk in a fridge plus bottled water. They even prepared a special birthday surprise dessert for my husband. The meal we had was delicious and the service was exemplary. The bar was busy with locals and visitors alike always a good indicator I think. Nothing was any bother when I wanted to adjust my main meal into a combo of two other others, all was presented well and the wine list was just about right, cocktails were sublime. The rooms are in a separate block to the pub so if it was raining you have to make a quick dash from one building to the next, I would suggest large golf umbrellas to hand for this purpose. We stayed in room 2 which was cosy and clean, I would, however, like to have a hanging shelf over the shower for toiletries and shampoo etc plus a shelf over the sink for toothbrushes and other bits n bobs would be useful. The room could do with a repositioning of furniture to accommodate 2 bedside cabinets. The Window dressings could also be looked at as curtains have to be drawn at all times as the blind just covers the centre window. Breakfast is taken in the Hare Pie Cafe which is owned by the same people as the pub and rooms and is joined externally onto the rooms. The breakfast here was one of the best ever had and poached eggs were perfection. Q, would we stay here again? most definitely.

The interior and exterior of this restaurant is very good, friendly staff with a homely feel. The portion size for the Sunday roasts are brilliant, enough to fill you right up. The selection on the plate included; veg, potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding with a healthy serving of gravy. The meat was cooked well and was very tender, but the other items let it down slightly being either under cooked or over. An average Sunday roast at an average price.

My partner booked a room at the Bewicke Arms with dinner one Saturday earlier in August as a surprise night away for my birthday. We went for a stroll around this pretty village in the afternoon, which we really enjoyed. Dinner and breakfast (non-buffet, excellent menu choice, well executed) both very good. Complimentary bottles of red and white wine and water in the room were a lovely touch. We would definitely stay here again.

We popped in for a quick drink after a 6.5 mile circular walk around Hallaton. It was a traditional looking country pub. It was clean and friendly. The menu looked good and we'e thinking of returning to give the food a try.

Mi pareja y yo habíamos estado viajando todo el día y decidimos alrededor de 8. 30:00h, sólo necesitábamos un lugar para comer y alojarse. Llamamos antes para verificar disponibilidad y llegamos a tan sólo unos minutos después de las 9. Nos dijeron que la cocina cerraba a las 9 durante nuestra llamada telefónica, pero como íbamos a llegar justo un poco después, pidieron que el chef a quedarse atrás. A la llegada nos recibió y nos mostró a nuestra habitación preciosa, muy limpia, cómoda y un vino y agua cada uno. Fuimos directamente al pub y nos dijeron que podíamos pedir cualquier cosa del menú, sólo nos esperaba un bocadillo o algo, teniendo en cuenta que llegamos tarde. Tuve salmón y mi pareja, cerdo las comidas eran absolutamente delicioso. En la mañana después de un sueño encantador (era tan tranquilo! Fuimos a la cafetería de al lado para el desayuno (incluido). Un pequeño café con un menú super. Mi compañero tenía un desayuno inglés, tenía tocino y aguacate en tostadas.

Los brazos Bewicke es un pub precioso lleno de carácter. Nos alojamos la noche en una de sus habitaciones.

Nos alojamos entre semana para una noche. La habitación genial, buen toque con una botella pequeña de vino y leche en la nevera. Cerveza geniales y la comida era realmente buena. El personal es muy amable y el servicio al cliente genial. Mientras no viajar a esta zona del país muy a menudo, sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo si en cualquier lugar cerca. Altamente recomendado.

Siete de nosotros aquí una comida de cumpleaños esta noche.

Fui con unos amigos y todos estamos de acuerdo en que era el lugar de pub. El personal era estupendo, (el director) y parecía realmente hacen lo imposible para asegurarse de todo el mundo dieron un buen servicio. La comida también era delicioso! Se lo recomendaría encarecidamente a cualquiera de la zona.

Nos estábamos alojando en market harborough por fin como una familia (yo, mi marido, dos hijos pequeños, mi madre y mi padre y 2 perros). El sábado fuimos y el pub estaba prácticamente vacío. Nos sentamos y tomamos unas copas y nos preguntó si había alguna oportunidad que podría hacer chip butties como no queríamos una comida completa. Me dijeron que sí, aunque no estaba en el menú, y estoy bastante seguro de que tenía que entrar a conseguir el pan así que realmente apreciamos. Tengo un prolapso de disco y teníamos caminamos unos 40 minutos en llegar a la aldea, yo no podía caminar de vuelta. El propietario/gerente se ofreció a llevarnos a casa y su pareja encantadora lo hizo. Preguntamos si podíamos reservar para comer el domingo ya que lo pasamos genial y fueron muy hospitalarios. No confirmar que los perros estaban dentro del pub. Sin embargo, la mesa estaba reservada para los domingos 1pm y aunque el pub no parecía ocupado nuestra comida no apareció hasta las 2. 10:00 h. Los niños estaban haciendo cansados y hambrientos y empecé a jugar un poco, pero pudimos mantenerlos distraídos. la comida y el vino finalmente llegó el pasado con el compañero propietarios su perro, teníamos un poco de charla y mi cachorrito dieron entonces un poco ladrido estridente porque quería decir hola. Literalmente en un segundo el joven camarero dirigía recto y me dijo: "Si su perro no parará ladrando, vas a tener que llevarlo como molesta de otros clientes. A este punto el perro había dejado de hacer ningún ruido en absoluto. Era tan innecesario y nos hizo sentir como basura. Explicamos al chico que él había dejado toda y que nos habían sentado esperando por la comida, por más de una hora y nosotros así como los perros tuvieron harto esperando! ! Entonces, él discutió con nosotros durante unos minutos antes de hacer copias cuando nos dijo que quería irse y dijo que fue su error. Mi madre era muy batido en la ira no podía tocar su comida que habían esperado. Hablé con otro camarero y pedimos la factura, pero pedí que mi comida a las madres fue tomada. Él aceptó. Él manejó bastante bien (era su primer día, así que me sentí bastante mal para él) pero sinceramente nunca en mi vida he sido así que cruza en el camino de un miembro del personal del bar había hablado a mí o a mi familia. Esto arruinó una comida que era realmente precioso y muy bien cocinado. Realmente era sólo uno de los miembros del personal que arruinó lo que hubiera sido una maravillosa comida.

This was my 3rd time to this restaurant each time I am thrilled with the food and hospitality always exciting and creative

Visited here for the first time in a long time. Loveley atmosphere on entering, loved the decor and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One of my party had a gin and tonic - I wish I had as it was served so beautifully in a large 'goldfish' bowl glass with juniper berries sprinkled in - a lovely touch. We had booked a table for 8.30 - were still waiting to be seated at 9, not sure if they were short staffed on that evening. However, when the meal did arrive it was delicious, my lamb absolutely stunning. My husband had a steak which was cooked to his liking but he was disappointed with the chips - oven ready we thought which for a place like this was a little disappointing. Overall, a lovely evening with great food and a reasonably priced wine list too.

Our first attempt to dine here was unsuccessful as although our Tuesday lunchtime booking had been accepted, we discovered on arrival that the pub only serves food on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There is a cafe though and the landlord kindly offered us a meal there on the house but we wanted a restaurant meal and so moved on.Our second visit on a Sunday lunchtime was more successful as the pub was open with several tables occupied and many locals visiting the bar. We ate in the front room which has a small bar, there is a larger space behing this for a large group and there is also a separate dining room. The landlord remembered us and gave us a bottle of Prosecco on the house. Prices are very reasonable with 3 courses for £20. Two of us found the starter of seared tuna carpaccio delicious and the third enjoyed latkes with avocado and sour cream.. The mains we chose were roast loin of pork with all the trimmings, whole roast plaice and pot roast partridge. These were generous portions and were all satisfactory, maybe the parttridge was slightly dry. For dessert we chose chocolate caramel fondant and greek yoghurt with berries and granola (breakfast!). I understand that this enterprise has not been operational for very long but we think in time, it should do well.

If you miss home come to the Bewicke Arms. This will feel like home. The food is amazing, the company and service even better!

We had our first meal cooked by new chef, Olly, the other week and it was delicious. It was really tasty and just the right balance between being interesting but not too risky. What is great about The Bewicke is that you are always met with a smile. Sounds simple but so many pubs and restaurants seem to forget to do it these days!

Had an excellent roast here. Good beef, crispy roast potatoes, fine ale and friendly service. The only downside was the slightly loud pop music but all in all very good.

I have never given bad feed back before but felt that I needed to put my review on.The pub was very cold no heating apart from the fire that had gone out in the bar area. No hot water in the ladies toilets. Food wasn't the hottest and the beef on the Sunday lunch menu was very tough. When we were asked was everything ok with your meal? We replied " the beef wasn't the best too be honest, and the actual meal wasn't that hot". Well the waitress/bar lady, " I work in the kitchen and rib of beef is fatty", we tried to say "we know rib is more fatty but it was tough" but we couldn't really get a word in. She then said" do you want the bill". Very unprofessional and we could have really kicked off, we didn't make a scene and drank our drinks and left. We did notice other tables sending their food back too as it wasn't hot, plus they asked for steak knives for their beef. Don't think I need to say anymore, apart from bad attitude food and service . Must say the young man who worked behind the bar was very apologetic and professional.

Having booked a table for 2 in a quiet location we arrived to be seated in what appeared to actually be cosy position, but the table had not been cleared so we has to wait a few minutes but when we sat down the table was wet so I used my clean serviette to dry the table. Shortly after this what I can only describe as a weekend "dad" appeared wearing shorts and flip flops, now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with shorts and flip flops in the right setting but it is late December! Now also with him was his 2 small children in tow who were also dressed in shorts all very strange. Now as of this point it became not "quiet" and yes you guessed correct it became very noisy, the children did as they wanted running around jumping on chairs walking around drinking, shouting, screaming, and to top it all off one then decides to broadcast the fact to the whole congregation present that he "needed a poo" yes we all have to go but come on now, and to be honest the children should be in bed by now but I guess that would interfere with dads pints down the local. Now for the food, I had the cured salmon which was very nice and my wife had the soup which she enjoyed but just a very small portion. Next up was the mains I had the turkey and my wife the slow cooked beef, my turkey was a little tuff but edible my wife's beef was very good the roast tatties I fear were "aunt bessies" and then what I found the most disturbing was when my plate was delivered I took a look and asked for a bit more gravy so the nice young lady went to get me some, alas on her return she handed me a milk jug for one sized receptacle with a teaspoon of gravy in it! Now this amount of gravy was not going to float my boat let alone my Yorkshire pudding come on chef get a grip!, now my fear is the chef guards his gravy with his life and its not for wasting on customers. My wife did mention the mash was like "smash" but awash in "lashings" of gravy it was ok. My wife then had a Crème Brulee which she enjoyed (see it's not all bad) I had the cheese board. Strange take on crackers more like something you get from a catholic priest in church but each to his own eh, and to add insult to injury "no butter" not even a little square on the platter surely its my choice if I want to clog my archeries not the gravy shy chef. The service throughout was excellent (uncleared table apart) and we were presented with all courses very quickly. Anyway we expressed our views to the waitress well some of them and we left feeling our special night was not so special at The Bewicke Arms, will we return (we have been several times before) not quite sure on that one.

We were travelling for work in Kettering and just could not find anything close to the office to suit our needs - so ventured further afield and accepted a 35 minute journey to experience an evening at the Bewicke Arms.How glad we were that we did! From the warm welcome, being shown to our fabulous rooms (complimentary wine I might add) and struggling to choose from the gorgeous menu....to a stunning night's sleep in crisp white expensive linen.Amazing breakfast in the Hare Pie Cafe - and impeccable service from start to finish.Grab the chance to visit this place as soon as you can folks - you won't find many like it!

This place has really improved in the last 12 months. The new owners seem to have got a good team together. Menu choice is limited but the food was delicious and very well presented.Prompt and attentive service received. Good wine choice. Average prices and altogether a lovely ambience.One small point , I personally would have like a side dish of vegetables as an accompaniment.

This place is incredible, first visit of many more. The environment is lovely, invitingly friendly, very welcoming, the service was lovely, personal and friendly. The food was to die for, absolutely delicious, incredible, an absolute MUST VISIT

On arrival we were given option of eating in bar or more formal area which was nice. The food was excellent. Fresh, imaginative and tasty. Service was fantastic.Well worth a visit would highly recommend.

This is such an inviting building set in a pretty rural village and entering the pub doesn't disappoint either. To see 3 fires lit on a Thursday night shows attention to detail and a real effort to make this very welcoming. We had a meal in the small intimate dining area (with fire) on the other side of the bar, the atmosphere and lighting is perfect. The men had steak and kidney pie (deconstructed) which was excellent - with generous and tender meat under a pie crust. The fish and chips were very good and the lamb rump was tasty. My only complaint was the butternut squash could have been roasted longer (or peeled) as the outer skin was too tough. We skipped desserts but service was attentive and helpful. I can't comment on eating in the dining room at the back but if we came again we would definitely want to eat in here again.

This is my second visit to the Bewicke and whilst we enjoyed the food there were problems ... under-seasoned chipped potatoes for example, a basic error. Our bill came to £65 (two people, three courses plus wine) which is about what we would expect for this type of establishment. But our main complaint was the overall, somewhat chaotic organisation - firstly we were told that we hadn't booked - then the manager realised or admitted that there was a problem with the on-line booking system. We weren't given the option of sitting in a bar area with drinks to peruse the menu - it was straight to a small table in something of a rush. The serving staff seemed distracted and rushed, although the place didn't appear particularly busy. Then, finally I visited the Ladies loo, to find it had run out of toilet paper, hand soap and hand towels ... everything you need basically. This was early evening on a Saturday, surely someone should have checked it before evening service?

Dropped in on off chance without booking , managed to get table for 2 Chunk of bread and olive butter very nice .1st course, Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was excellent, could not fault anything on the plate , you could tell and taste that they used fresh ingredients, and the flavours in every mouthful, 2nd course , sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was very good and light sponge everything melted in your mouth. The service was excellent as well, could not ask for more

First time visit as a result of staying at the connected B & B - we had the sirloin steak which was cooked well - hand cut chips - very nice. Also had lamb which was cooked very nicely. Staff friendly and whilst laid back provided attentive service. Wasn't too busy for a Thursday evening in August which was quite nice. Decor and fixtures and fittings very nice and clean.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Bewicke Arms. The rooms were clean, comfortable and stylish and there was even complimentary wine and fresh milk available. Breakfast was delicious and we had unlimited drinks with it - even cappuccinos and lattes, which we felt was very generous.We had trouble finding reasonable taxi rates for the trip to the wedding we were attending, and Damon the manager offered to drive us there himself for less, which we felt went above and beyond what we would expect of out hosts. When we went to pay him, he asked us to donate it to Macmillan Cancer Research - what a guy! Damon wasn't the only excellent member of staff - I didn't get to know anyone else by name, but we had a great greeting from all. I very rarely write reviews but feel moved to promote this fab place - you won't be disappointed if you stay here!

We came with our bikes having cycled Rutland water in the morning and arrived about 3 on a Saturday afternoon. Picturesque village with gorgeous houses and cottages. The pub looks fitting with its thatched roof and stone work. Great first impressions! We went in to the deserted bar area trying to find someone to check us in. Eventually checked in to room 2, ground floor. Tastefully decorated, large and great shower. Bed was only a double but comfy enough, although it tended to drift away from the headboard and consequently the pillows slipped down the back. Also didn't take to having a table for the pub outside the bathroom window. Decided to have a coffee in the hare pie, great coffee and lovely seating area on the terrace with lovely views. Went over to the pub to check the menu for dinner to be told abruptly by the young girl that food had closed.We were going to have the two course a la carte offer but again was told that this wasn't available on a sat so decided to just have a bar snack instead.We came back later, ordered two drinks fantastic Timothy Taylor but they didn't have martini apparently not classy enough for the folks of hallaton! We had our drinks outside and returned in to eat to be asked what were we doing there? The place was practically empty on a Sat evening in Aug? Rather strange customer service, had to explain that we were in fact staying and could we have a table for two, if not too inconvenient! The food was really good as was the wine. The breakfast was very good too and freshly prepared orange juice was lovely. The lady and young girl who work in here were excellent and probably the only friendly members of staff we encountered.Was shocked that it was so quite with only a rabble of locals outside and 6 people eating inside. Would be worried if it were my investment.So to summarise, lovely place and setting. Great food let down by customer service.

Despite having booked 3 months ago, our booking for 6 could not initially be found. We were placed in what appeared to be an area for larger parties which was not expected to be used that day. All the tables, including ours, were not fully laid - no napkins, incomplete cutlery and dead flowers. Admittedly, it was quite full, but service took quite a while, one order had been misunderstood and we felt rushed to leave. Food was good but pretentious (wooden boards and plenty of enamel dishes etc.) Pricey for complicated sounding dishes which were fairly average tasting!

Many years ago we used to regularly visit this pub for Saturday Lunch, but stopped going when it changed ownership as we no longer enjoyed the food. We decided to give it another go this Saturday after we heard that it was under new management and that the food was now of a high standard, and we were not to be disappointed. The menu was inventive and the food we had of an excellent standard. I am sure we will begin once again to visit this pub on a regular basis.

Was really looking forward to this meal but unfortunately the room was cold, a heater was promised but didn't materialise but most disappointing was the food which although well cooked proved to be bland and tasteless, which was a shame as the building and setting promised so much and I'd read other people's better reviews, Sorry!

stayed 1night , Simon/Clare very attentive and friendly. Breakfast very good. We hope to visit again but for much longer so we can explore the area and try the evening meal.

Love it here! Have been meaning to visit for a while, since I saw the local buzz about it on Facebook, but this week we finally got around to it and wished we had gone earlier. After a genuinely friendly welcome we examined the tempting menu, which we learned is amended and updated every day depending on what local ingredients are available. They source as much as possible locally but are also involved with The Slow Food Chef Alliance (look it up on Google, it's a fab community and environmental initiative). After orders were taken, we enjoyed a huge wedge of "cut-your-own" warm, crusty bread. Our starters and mains were delicious and we savoured every mouthful. Our only regret was not having enough room for dessert! The chic restaurant would be a great place for a special occasion dinner, but they also have a popular dining area in the bar (which is incidentally dog-friendly - we will be returning with our four-legged friend!). We wish the Bewicke Arms every success. We are lucky to live in an area where there are numerous village "gastropubs" offering good quality food - but in our opinion The Bewicke Arms currently stands head and shoulders above all of them.

Excellent, imaginative and comprehensive menu more than lived up to expectations. Service very good also. The best of local dinners we have been to. THANKSWe had a lovely night at The Bewicke Arms. The meal was very much to our liking, just one little fault too many leeks with the beef, but still all very delicious. The service and decor were very good. We will certainly be adding it to one of our places to re-visit.Once again many thanks for arranging last night’s Safari Supper. I really enjoyed the food - the best I’ve had in ages and a really lovely change to try something different for the starter and main course and the bread and butter were lovely too! The service was excellent and Natasha was extremely pleasant.I thought the food was excellent value for money. I would certainly go back to The Bewicke Arms again and recommend it to friends.It was lovely to have a room to ourselves and not to be bothered by the noise from other diners/drinkers.The location of the restaurant enabled us to visit a village with great character. The venue was interestingly rustic and the staff friendly and welcoming. The room was a little cramped, but other than that was fine. The menu was unusual with some novel combinations which we liked. The food was of good quality, well cooked and presented. The price seemed reasonable. We would go back there again.I though it was all very good. All the menu items were interesting, looked good, and the ones I ate tasted good too. Very happy to go there again and thought it good value for money.I enjoyed the evening, love the interior of the pub, staff very friendly and helpful.Food was delicious, beautifully presented, homemade bread wonderfully tasty.Only comment: the polenta cakes rather dense texture but much improved by extra sauce provided on request; baked cheesecake a little heavy in texture too.Thought the menu wording a little pretentious - now I know they are from the Olive Branch I understand why! - I had to look up onglet and wasn't sure what veloute was, but it was lovely.Company and conversation excellent, of course.Thank you again for organising.We both thought the meal was delicious, nicely presented and good value. The only slight criticism would be that the main course wasn't too warm. However, the beef was beautifully tender which more than compensated. I particularly liked the seating arrangement as I was, happily, able to hear the conversations of my fellow diners. I often have problems if there is a lot of background noise.I thought it was brilliant. I'd love to go again. Everything about it good.I thought the meal on Wednesday was excellent as was the venue. The menu was definitely different but I could not fault any of the food. Who would have thought that mackerel, rhubarb and cockles would go together so well.As there was only one waitress for the most part I think they did extremely well getting the food out so quickly.Yet another place to revisit.Thank you again for organising the event.I thought The Bewicke Arms impressed. The room was set out with cloth serviettes, candles and tablecloths - a real rustic charm pervaded - and it was great to have a room to ourselves as we tend to be quite noisy as the evening proceeds. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and helpful and the service was good - we only needed to ask and immediately it was attended to. As for the food; what an interesting menu! I thought the mackerel and rhubarb was sensational especially with the added cockles and dried rhubarb skins - something I have never tasted before. As for the lamb I really liked the added anchovies giving the dish that extra saltiness -a great taste combination. The beef also look very appetising and the small portion I tried was a delight to the palette. I wasn’t too sure about the polenta ‘potatoes’ as these were rather solid - all the better with the additional sauce provided. I thought the cheesecake portion was tiny however I’m pleased it was as I would have eaten a larger portion and regretted it later! I certainly felt replete after such a delicious meal. Please can we go back again. Thank you for organising.

We stayed one night but it was affordable and very comfortable. The staff are extremely friendly and the food excellent!

The Bewicke Arms has really improved its act recently with a revamp and a new menu which is modern and exciting. The choice is small but I like that because you know the dishes are freshly prepared. I had the Onglet which was exceptional. Reasonably priced for what is pretty close to fine dining.

We spent the evening yesterday at the Bewicke Arms with fronds, 6 of us in total. My favourite beer Taylor's Landlord on draft so onto a winner from the start...Very attentive and pleasant service from the main waitress and a genuine interest from the bar/restaurant manager which was ll very professional.Not a great big selection on the a la carter menu which on balance is probably a good thing. The trout had run our but at least they had replaced the option with salmon. Four out of six of us had the sole which was extremely good. Nice cheese plate and coffee to finish.We were last to leave the restaurant by about an hour but nobody rushed or hassled us.Definitely worth a return trip. Very good.

excellent meal both well presented and extremely tasty. The service throughout the meal was exceptional, relaxed and informal but professional and well informed.Thank you , we will definitely all be recommending the bewicke and will be back very soon.

Went here for my birthday on Saturday and was really impressed. I had the squid and chorizo starter and the pork coobbler main both of which were excellent and the wine was great to especially for the price. The service was very friendly and efficient. We'll be back soon.

The Bewicke is really on top form at the moment. Good wine list, great ambience and amazing food. I've eaten at the Bewicke twice in the last couple of weeks and both times the food was simply outstanding.The menu at the Bewicke is not huge (thankfully) but it is one of the most interesting menus I've seen in the area. Last night, I started with Dexter Ox tongue followed up by onglet with Hereford snails. Superb presentation, intriguing flavours and delicious wine to wash it down.

I visited friends in Hallaton recently and we ate dinner at the Bewicke Arms. For a starter I ordered the dexter ox tongue with horseradish hollandaise sauce which was quite delicious. For the main I ordered the herb marinated onglet which was also very tasty and for dessert I had the warm treaclel tart with blackberry ice cream - also very delicious. The pub has a decent wine selection and plenty of good beer as well. I found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming and thoroughly enjoyed the evening there.

The entire menu is really tempting and everything that I ate was high quality. I would definitely eat here again and I thoroughly recommend the terrine!The staff and the chef, Lily, have absolutely made my evening a journey worth making.Enjoy people.

We called in to the Bewicke Arms in Hallaton for lunch on a Tuesday. It was my wife's birthday and we wanted to try somewhere new. The Bewicke Arms has only been serving food since last year and we decided to give it a try.The pub has been nicely updated but has all of the original features and character. Lots of pictures of the famous 'bottle kicking' event that happens every Easter.Great selection of beers. I went for the Timothy Taylors's Landlord. Lovely.For lunch we had the sirloin sandwich and pub chips. It was beautifully presented and very tasty. We followed this with coffee and petit fours. wow! What a great, unusual selection. They were beautiful.We loved the food, the service ( a very charming person from Melton) and the place. Will definitely be going back and work our way through the menu.There is also a very interesting cafe next door - the hare pie cafe - which we shall try the next time we are passing. Will be lovely to sit outside on the terrace looking over the fields and have a cappucino and a cake.Would happily, highly recommend.

Really relaxing lunch out at a tastefully decorated pub/restaurant. The food lived up to expectation. We had the duck and the beef onglet as mains and shared a pudding. Staff couldn't have been nicer and gave us a warm welcome. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later. Highly recommended!
