The Bull at Broughton Astley in Harborough

We’ve eaten here several times, and you cannot fault the service or the food. Always well staffed, with a good menu to choose from. One of our local favourites.

ate here today with my family, we had a dog with us but they were fully accommodating and sat us in the bar area, service was quick and efficient and the carvery was fantastic, my mum moans about literally everywhere we go and even she had nothing bad to say! Thank you to the team

Amazing experience, Connie was our server and she was so polite and welcoming, definitely recommend coming here a favourite place of ours☺️

Food is amazing. A young lady called Lauren was very helpful and wished us a Merry Christmas. There was a man who served us and he was really nice but didn’t catch his name.

First visit and loved everything about it. First Christmas get together and everything was just perfect. Catered well for everyone in our large party. Huge well done to the head chef and their team, especially loved the sticky toffee Christmas pudding which was deceivingly light and scrumptious.

Been here a few times recently…. Fabulous service and lush food

It was supposed to be a Xmas Fayre do but they need to be told at the time of booking as the place was full. That was not a good start. We ordered off the main menu and the kitchen got three of the four mains wrong. The steaks had to be sent back and replaced. In the end it was a good meal but one of us had finished her meal before the others had arrived. The staff knew they had messed up and they took half the mains bill off without us saying anything. 😊 All in all, it was a good night out and I suspect the kitchen was under pressure and made mistakes. There is a decent sized car park but it was full at 7pm. We did manage to park in the last spot available!

Went to the Bull for a birthday meal with my family and had a brilliant time. The food was amazing (I ordered a steak and it was cooked to perfection, also portion size was just right), staff were really friendly and made so much effort with us. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back ☺️

Great food. Excellent service. Entertainment was okay but should have been on while we were eating.

We came out for a family meal food was great,staff were lovely great place thanks

Excellent service, food and atmosphere.

Came for a Sunday Carvery with family and was very impressed!! The food was perfect and the blondie was amazing!! Our waitress, Ellie, was very friendly!! Thank you all!!

Great food and service as always

Fantastic meal and great service.

Wonderful meal at The Bull last weekend. Our server Lauren was exceptional and went the extra mile in ensuring 1 of the guests food requirements were met and was extremely helpful and genuinely interested in understanding more about the dietary requirements as they weren’t as simple as some allergies such as GF or dairy intolerance. Eating out can be stressful trying to ensure the kitchen are well informed of the requirements and Lauren certainly was 💯 with checking everything would be ok which it was. Thank you for making our visit a pleasurable experience. Food was delicious and all the staff were friendly.

Extremely busy on Sunday. Long wait for booked table. Need to move people on or allow for longer between bookings. Carvery in a niche and can cause congestion for those queuing and others trying to move about

Good honest food, the carvery is lovely and has a home cooked feel about it. Definitely recommend.

The staff are all extremely pleasant as they always are willing to have a laugh . The food is also great and there is a big variety of food to chose from

We went on a Friday afternoon, soon as we walked in the atmosphere and welcome was fantastic. Very tasty food and service excellent, would highly recommend

The roasted pork belly was excellent and to finish the meal off, I had a tiramisu which was excellent too. Topped off with great service from team leader Rachel who magically produced a steak knife just after I asked for it. Well worth a visit. Don't worry the cider was non-alcoholic.

What a great place to go on a Sunday for an excellent carvery. Full marks all round

First time visiting, served by Lauren. She was extremely polite and was a good laugh too. 11/10 service, definitely would hire and definitely would recommend.

Fabulous steak, cooked to perfection, wonderful staff especially Ellie. Great food and drinks,will be back again.

Great food really friendly staff

Came here for a meal with my boyfriend, the staff was very accommodating, I must point out that Ellie our waitress was nothing but lovely, served us with a smile and was very accommodating with my food choices! Thank you so much!

Lauren was such a lovely waitress. She was very efficient and attentive and served us with a lovely smile.

Lauren was so attentive and completely charming.

Good pub grub, just standard food, but yummy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Can imagine this is lovely in warmer months with the stream running alongside.

Went here last night with my partner for the first time clean place great staff and delicious food we will defiantly be coming back!!

We had Sunday lunch. Booking essential

Our server, Lauren was brilliant. Really friendly, professional and went the extra mile.

The food is very good, made with high-quality ingredients. While the service was generally good (table of 8).

We are a local couple, regularly in for drinks. The bar staff are a wonderful eclectic mix of personalities and everyone of them are a delight. I must mention Lauren, she is forever smiling and always gives her 100% effort to make you feel the most important person at the bar. This pub is fantastic and a joy to have on my doorstep. Please do not forget to remember the drinkers in this wonderful pub, I know food is where the money is, but the rating for atmosphere is based on the lack of tables available in what has been set as the drinking area but is regularly used to take in overflow bookings and in turn ruins the drinkers atmosphere.

Always such good food, the service was great, special mention to Lauren who went above and beyond to help cater for our Son’s needs - thanks so much 🥰 Highly Recommend 👌🏼

Lauren was absolutely amazing.We were a large party, and she couldn’t do enough for us.

Fantastic food onion rings amazing we had our dog with us so sat in the dog freindly part which we were very pleased about thanks, however, the table needed cleaning and the menus was sticky great shame

Lauren has been absolutely lovely to my family and I this evening. So kind to my boys, extremely helpful and just lovely. She’s really made our evening. Thanks Lauren 🥰

Great food, service from Lauren was very good, friendly, helpful efficient.

The food was excellent and the waitress Lauren was really good

Lauren is amazing such a friendly helpful polite young girl extremely efficient and will go far

Really good service from Lauren

Lauren service was next level.- I'll definitely come back 🙂

Lauren was a lovely waitress very helpful ☺️

Everythime we've been here we've always been served by Lauren she always makes us feel very welcome. andbshe always comes down to check if everything it's OK with the mails.

Thank you Rachel , Top notch service.

Megan, the lovely young blond girl. I'm hoping I got her name correct. She was very delightful & very good at serving us today.

Fantastic anniversary Dinner. First time there the food and staff were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Kory and all the staff we'll be back

First time at The Bull, excellent service & food.

Very nice meal Friendly staff first time there but will definitely go again

Slightly expensive but you pay for what you get. The food is not your normal standard of pub food, it's what you would expect in a top restaurant

Took out the family for a spot of lunch. Had herd good things about The Bull, well they where not wrong. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Food was great, and 1 of us isn't easily pleased, even they where happy. Already planning our next trip there.

Brilliant service and food as normal 🥂

Brilliant food, nice and cool inside with all the windows open but plenty of outside seating too. Great friendly staff and good value! Thank you

We came here last night fir my birthday and just wanna say what a beautiful place beautiful atmosphere gorgeous food fantastic service the young lady who looked after us was amazing highly recommend and will definitely be back xx

A lovely evening, Kate who served us was fantastic

Our server James made our visit really enjoyable. We missed the carvery as we were not aware it was only served until 6pm. We shall be back for the carvery again soon.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Just a shame that sometimes the waiters were a little rude an abrupt when spoken to, like asking for sauce or a drink.

Great place for a drink. Have eaten here today for the first time with my granddaughter. Will not be eating here again. The only good thing about the food is the chips. Staff are great.

Great for the kids with two bouncy castles to keep them entertained

Had my 60th birthday celebrations with my family a truly wonderful day 💕 food was superb...waiter was so polite...table seats we're spot on ...would highly recommend this pub 👌 THANK YOU 🐃

Food was decent, above average but not exceptional, staff were friendly and effective. Although it may not be a chain it feels as soul-less as a chain.

On a hot day i wanted a drink somewhere nice to cool off and this place was recommended to me by colleagues and friends... after sitting in a beautiful garden by a stream i changed my plans and decided to have lunch... just wow amazing food amazing prices ... the staff are friendly and welcoming and the place itself is huge seen lots of families enjoying the garden will definitely be going back...

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Good range of local ales on offer.

Another great meal at the Bull, came here for the second time, nice friendly staff, good atmosphere, meals very good 😊 fantastic service by Morgan very tentative, the things we asked were done straight away even offered us two lots of steak knives 🔪 lol 😂. Well done would recommend, good food good value. All staff working very to keep the place moving and also very clean staff keeping the outside ground clean, no glasses piled up on outside tables very good to see. A big well done to the Bull staff 10/10. ,

Lovely pub, with friendly staff. The food and drink selection is good, and when the weather is on your side, you can sit outside with the sound of the stream gently lapping by you. Well worth a visit.

Lovely food, friendly, helpful , knowledgeable staff

Best place in Broughton Astley!!!!

Enjoyed a meal in the garden as we had our dog with us. Food was delicious especially the burgers. Service was good too.

Our party of four really enjoyed their meals. All of the food was exceptionally well cooked, presented, and served. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. Will definitely be returning to this and other pubs of the same chain. Prices were reasonable as well.

Hadn't booked but managed to fit us in although extremely busy. Staff very pleasant and food good.

Favourite for Sunday carvery! and love the fact they have a dog friendly area.

Again we enjoyed another late afternoon meal. At a good price. We will be back.

Beautiful place staff were very friendly and polite will definitely go back again

Didn't go in there. Just passed by so can't say much.

Thought classier than the lime tree .. but sadly no different. Full of chavs with tats sat without tshirts as a nice day yesterday, so they thought this was appropriate. Whilst they let their kids kick footballs around other people's tables and at the neighbouring houses fence panels. Dogs off the lead and filthy tables not cleared of glasses and plates. Not for us.

Olly ,superb service went above and beyond. Super professional with a great smile. Made our time special. Thank you Olly 😊

First time visiting for a family meal and I would highly recommend. Friendly staff great food and drink. Outside space also looks great for the summer.

Really busy but there were plenty of competent staff. Our meals were really well prepared and above average quality for a pub meal. Drinks were a bit pricey but that's probably just me

We've visited The Bull a few times recently and would highly recommend eating here. Easy parking, very relaxed, clean, and the tables are spaced nicely. There's a lovely stream that runs along side of the restaurant, which is very nice to see if you sit by the windows. The food is very good, especially the Sunday carvery, and all of the staff are 100% polite, professional, and always smiling! Keep uo thevgreqt work all the staff at The Bull!

Had a super Sunday at the pub celebrating a family birthday. 20 of us. All was fantastic. Thanks 👍

A great pub. Staff are always friendly and the food is good. There is a good choice on the menu. Good value and a nice place to visit.

Lovely food drink and atmosphere

Visited on Easter Sunday. Nice entrance way across the stream and very light, airy and modern inside - good selection of tables and comfy seating all round. Seated and attended to very promptly and in a timely manner throughout. Great menu and all reasonably priced. Settled on the carvery pretty quickly and was not disappointed. All felt freshly cooked and not mass produced. Good choice of desserts too. Overall a great place for food. Will definitely return when we're back this way visiting family again.

1st visit here. Good food at reasonable price and attentive staff

Had lunch here with my wife. Unfortunately was waiting 40 minutes after ordering, still no food. The only reason this review is 3 star ⭐⭐⭐ and not 1 star ⭐. Is due to how they handled my complaint about keeping us waiting 40 minutes. The waiter had taken our order but forgotten to give to kitchen. He came to us explained his mistake & apologised. He took ownership of his mistake without excuses. Then retook our order & guaranteed our food would be on our table is 10 minutes. Plus we would eat for free (no charge). The food was very well prepared & cooked. Enjoyed the taste & flavours very much. The atmosphere was lovely very well presented. As you walk in to restaurant outside there is a little foot bridge. That crosses over a stream, which is a very nice. Will eat here again & hopefully I can give them 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐.

Went for mother's day meal. Going more often due to quality. I had beef bordelaise (not had before) - very impressed with how tender and moist it was. Feel this is a place that reliably produces good food and drinks very well priced. All in all will be back soon.

Lovely place it always has a really nice atmosphere, very popular, service is great and we really enjoy the food.

Great food, staff attentive without over doing it. Very friendly, Great atmosphere. Been before but year ago. Will be visiting more often thankyou

Lovely food, we had a great time! And a huge thank you to our waitress Megan who was so lovely and helpful!

A lovely lunch.... well presented, staff very attentive lovely atmosphere 👌

Cracking food. Top Sunday lunch...

Great food at great prices. Tried The Waterside at Mountsorrel, Axe and Square, Limetree and now The Bull all owned by the same people and all of them have been excellent. Staff are all very well trained. Hopefully they will take a few more pubs over.

Just had a beautiful carvery here with some of my family, we all very much enjoyed every bite. We will definitely be back again.

Had my son-in-laws stag party here. Food was excellent as was our server and all the staff i encountered. Will definitely return with the ladies of our family.

Lovely food, good price, nice surroundings, drinks could have arrived a bit quicker but other than that all very nice

I got the steak, and usually going to a pub the steak preference is always wrong, i ordered a medium rare and it was one of the best steaks ive had, i would recommend this place to many! My boyfriend had just the burger and fries cannot say how good they are and i would definatley come back prices are great too! Fab place and waiters are fab too cant do enough for you! Defo a spot to go to

We had a lovely afternoon at The Bull. It was a family get together. The food, staff and atmosphere really made this. Our waiter was so informative

Great service and lovely food. Now established as our favourite when visiting the area.

Excellent service & customer focused staff. Always trying to accommodate each customer. Every person trusted with total respect. We eat there 2 to 3 times a week. Thank you all.

Lovely meal, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere 😊
