The Flintlock in Hinckley and Bosworth

Plenty of parking including disabled Looked unkempt,, over 3/4 of an hour to be served. food was hot and well presented.

Plenty of parking. On entering the establishment 1st impression was it needed some attention, chairs were torn and just looked unkempt. We waited over 3/4 of an hour from paying to being served. On arrival the food was hot and well presented. We only saw 2 staff, the barmaid/waitress and the chef. Will continue to visti Marstons pubs in the future but not this one

Good beer, food, and service. Dog friendly

Visited recently to watch the Liverpool Vs Man City game there were several screens in the bar with full commentary through speakers, excellent picture and clear amplified sound which was good. Really enjoyed the visit and I will back again.

Went on Wednesday night with friends did exchanging Christmas presents as not seen each other we’ll before Christmas due to illness we had a fabulous night and made very welcome thank you to you all xxx

Food was amazing! We’ve eaten here multiple times! Fish and chips is amazing, and the chocolate cake is delicious! Only down side is the vouchers. We had an issue with our kids meal voucher that we received for a 1pound kids meal, it wouldn’t work even though we followed all the terms and conditions and when we asked for help figure out why the lady behind the counter just told me she didn’t know anything about it

Great pub - landlady Emily is very accommodating and friendly and there is a great atmosphere. Food is nice and the facilities are nice and clean.

I had to come back! My first experience was a delight though has been sometime this was my review. "Had the best burger 🍔 it was cooked to perfection and very tasty...you could taste everything within the burger giving the taste buds something to get in to...compliments to the chef excellent food." My second visit today walking towards not much had changed! After probably 2 years? I thought about my first visit and checking the menu the spicy burger took my eye! After ordering it was a bit of a waite...around 40mins. Not that busy yet it was very much a queue status, as l was advised by the staff. Though l was in good company so the waite didn't seem that long. Food arrived and to be honest looked very nice. As we stated, the taste was not disappointing... as l do like a tasty burger, the burgers were tender and a plesent taste to the palette, accompanied with a light salad, dressing, and a side of fence fries. Most people would say a burger is a burger, yet though l would agree, its has to be a good burger to enhance the palette and the taste buds, to go that extra mile. All l can say is that the Flintlock did that today...my compliments to the chef and the bar staff for a pleasant and welcoming experience. Until my next visit! Keep up the good work 👏

Staff are lovely. Very helpful and had no problem accommodating us. Kids loved the play area.

Best local pub. Friendly, honest and customer oriented, as all the pubs should be

Booked for a birthday meal, was able to easily make changes to our order, was given a lovely mixed salad, instead of what was available, plentiful food all cooked well and very tasty.

Didnt enjoy the christmas dinner at all or the christmas pudding wasnt worth the 47 pound

Having written a truthful review on our experience of our lunch meal the owner obviously cannot take a poor review, only glory. The steak was nice the chicken tikka was no stars the dessert didn't exist and because it was the busiest day of the year apparently explains the owners poor attitude. We all get stressed and that's the reason we didn't complain. Never going there again a total waste of £40.00 especially in these hard times.

Went for lunch having booked a table. Waited quite a while for food. 3 stars for the steak as this was nice but cannot recommend the chicken tikka. Whilst the sauce was very tasty there wasn't much chicken and the bits of chicken in the dish were fatty. Waited far too long for pudding and when chased were advised they hadn't any more left. Disappointed as this pub was recommended to us for a lovely meal.

26 of us went for our works Xmas party lunch. It was great and only £17.99 for 3 courses. Will definitely be back again

Christmas meal pre-booked and unable to serve the festive menu we had pre-ordered. Not clear from booking email (which was made with less than 14 days in advance) that food needed to be pre-ordered for 6 of us and to leave a voicemail on a work phone number on a Sunday lunchtime wasn't going to let us know what was needed. Sorry that you don't read emails about pre-booked food as advised by your surly employee and that you didn't have time to defrost our food.

Pre-ordered the festive menu for our office Christmas meal to be told that they don't check the emails or online pre-orders and we would have to order from the main menu. Ridiculous situation and we really wish we had gone somewhere else. Not even good service to make up for it.

Great place to eat and drink im

Chris and his staff are really welcoming, had a great birthday party and fabulous cocktails! Disco was great and everyone enjoyed themselves, well done Chris and staff.

Local stop off for a pint when out walking the dog. Decent selection of drinks, not tried the food yet. Overall, decent local.

Very friendly and clean I popped in during a dog walk just me and 1 dog and I was made to feel very welcome the bar staff were nice the only downside was they were emptying the fruit machines at the time and it's quite noisy but that was just unfortunate timing on my behalf as I know that it needs to be done at some point.

Always a pleasure coming to the Flintlock. Smiling friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Clean, always decorated for the season. And the food is always tops . Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to eat out. Robert &Estelle

Excellent meals, good friendly service, clean cutlery and crockery, all in a clean, spacious and nicely decorated pub.

We celebrated my parent's 59th wedding anniversary. We had booked a table which was ready for us on arrival. There was a bit of a wait for food but not too long. We all enjoyed our food and would go again.

Excellent service, lovely hot food, friendly staff, steak cooked to perfection, will I return.... absolutely yes I will

Good place for chill get bir and chit chat

When we turned up, clean and well presented table. Lovely staff welcomed us and showed us to the table. Food ordering was easy and all arrived together. Food was lovely and well cooked. Bonus of karaoke in the bar after we finished too.

Our visit to the flintlock was lovely! We were there to watch a rugby match and I had called in advance to book a table. The lady I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and helpful. When we walked in and spoke to the lady behind the bar, she knew exactly who I was and showed us where we would be seated and checked if we were happy with the seating. Our table was placed right between the 2 TVs so we always had a good view of the game. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is due to the food. We ordered the 80oz rump with a beef dripping and Merlot. The plates the food were served on were quite hot, unfortunately the food itself was about room temperature and the Beef Dripping and Merlot sauce was not very flavourful. Despite these factors, the rest of the food was still tasty.

The pub wasn't particularly busy but even so we waited an hour for 2 hunters chicken. We chased after 45 minutes during which time no member of staff came anywhere near and we also cleared our own table of dirty glasses left by previous occupant. When the food finally arrived it was, to say the least disappointing. My "portion" of chips consisted of exactly 11 chips (yes I counted) the chicken was so dry I think it had been cooking for the whole of the hour we waited and the barbecue sauce was non existent. The menu stated it was served with grilled tomato and rocket - the tomato was absent entirely and the rocket had been replaced with chopped, brown edged iceberg lettuce.

I think I must have visited a different pub to other reviewers. I think this is the worst meal out I've ever had. Despite not being ultra busy we waited 1 hour for 2 hunters chicken. The chicken was so dry it was hard to swallow and had absolutely no sauce. My plate contained 11 chips there was no grilled tomato as per the menu and the rocket had been substituted with some chopped, brown edged iceberg lettuce! Absolutely appalling. I wish I had thought to take photos - I'm the wrong generation unfortunately.

We visited on a sunny weekend afternoon to enjoy the garden as we had heard about the great kids play area and large garden. The pub was very clean, everyone that served us during our visit was great, the drinks were very reasonably priced, the kids loved the corn on the cob and our steaks were perfectly cooked. We will be back with the family again soon.

Popped in for a drink so cant comment on food, Pleasant staff.the beer was fairly priced and the atmosphere was very friendly. will return.

Great food ,lovely staff,really nice atmosphere made to feel very welcome will definitely go again soon

Beer was cheap and they do reasonable pub grub at good prices. Pipes needed cleaning as a new cask tasted a bit too tangy. Pedigree and Hobgoblin on tap.

We came in for a family meal. Steaks cooked to perfection. Great friendly staff. Great Gluten Free options as well

I had a lovely hunters chicken, and garlic bread as a side and had the praline chocolate tart for desert, all were perfect and the team were really friendly and I highly recommend it!

Had starters tonight just for snacks, wings and ribs excellent

Good food, good beer, great prices.

Had a lovely time with friends, staff friendly. Next time we will try food . Will recommend to friends and family

Had a business meeting here as it was ideal as a location and the food is very good. Staff were attentive and kept checking on us.

We eat in lots of pubs in Hinckley but have found the Flintlock to do not only a TASTY but well cooked Steak (surf and turf) all the meals were great, thank you to the kitchen staff (Cheskie) also the bar staff who friendly and very helpful - Rachel, Stu, Nic. Well done and thank you all.

Fab place to unwind. Great staff. Emily served us, and was a pleasure to deal with. She was friendly and chatty. Always had fantastic service and recommend the Flintlick highly.

A warm and welcoming pub. Emily behind the bar welcomed us with open arms and was always willing to help

I visited Sunday night for a family meal, and found Emily and Freya to be very accomodating. Good variety of beers and my Pedigree went down well with a veggie burger perfectly!

This is my local pub and for the last 6 month every time I visit for food they have not got half of the stuff on the menu Not once in the last 4 month have they the been able to do a mixed grill I accept there have been supplier issues but how much does it take to either order more or manage suppliers The other two local pubs seem to manage to have everything on their menus, so that’s now where I shall be going first from now on

Need more nights like this Drag night 👌🏼had the best night of our life had a blast with all my sisters with me 🙂🙂🙂🙂 couldnt fault it

Lovely lunch today. Great offer. Kids eat for £1 during half term. Really lovely meal and the kids enjoyed the play area in the garden as well. Chefs very friendly and accommodating.

Exceptional service, lovely food. The staff make the place. Nice outdoor spaces garden is currently being extended for more space can’t fault it.

Fantastic local pub showing all the sport and with a great pool table and great beer. We'll worth a visit with friends or family.

Stayed in camper van. Staff lovely.

Excellent venue for a Celebration

Lovely ambience, brilliant food. Fantastic service.

Visited for a meal with friends and the food and service was excellent. They also have a bar which is great for live sport with lots of TV's.

Great little pub, lovely food, good sized portions and very reasonably priced. Big outdoor play area and also big garden area for the kids to play which is always a bonus! Very friendly staff (especially Kerrie who looked after all 20 of us on her own!). We will definitely be coming back. Thanks for having us :) x

Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices and great staff who are always happy to help. Great facilities including sports on TV, outdoor seating and a playground.

Great pub, good prices, nice restaurant, great staff ( especially the lovely Emily) nice outdoor area and good kids play area.

Great place for meeting up with friends. Good food and nice atmosphere

Had a lovely meal out with family. Lovely service and lovely food. Massive thanks to nic, stu, Rachel and billy. Highly recommend

Lovely food good atmosphere will definitely be visiting again

The staff were very helpful as me and my husband are disabled and has an allergy They were very friendly and Chris and kerrie were brilliant 👏

Great pub to have food at and have a drink! Would recommend, can’t praise this place enough! Lovely staff and great management. Good prices ☺️ pool table, garden space and separate lounge and bar. Lots of space

I've been there with a friend the staff are lovely but he owner needs a talking to I'll be taking time to trade and standards thing he can talk to me like that no chance he's meant to be the owner not some guy on the streets drunk I will not be having it highly don't recommend the staff are amazing the owner on the other hand he's not a nice guy find another place to spend your money do not recommend will be taking him to trade and standards if could do a no star j would and I mean that

Popped in for lunch ,great choice at reasonable prices.

It was a great time as it was my partner’s birthday the food was delicious and we were told that there would be a bit of a wait with there only being one chef on but we didn’t even notice how long we were waiting. Would definitely go back.

The burgers were delicious and the beer was a good price.

We arrived for our booking at 1.30pm at 1.20pm. A nice welcome and told where we were seated. Ordered drinks and got straight to the menu as we were all hungry! Was a joint b day celebration for my son and son in laws birthday and also Mother's Day. 3 different menus to choose from, a mother's day, lunch menu, and all-day menu. We all ordered food and carried on enjoying chatting! Finally at 2.30 pm a waitress said "we not forgot about you we starting cooking yours now". Food finally started coming out at 3.10pm, the 1st order out was son in laws burger meal! He bit into his burger and said it was cold!!!! So on bringing mine out I addressed this with the waitress she apologised and took it! She was gone 2 minutes b4 returning with it, steaming!! So now the burger was soggy and the salad inside was hot!!!! With cold spots in the burger!! So my son in law couldn't eat that! I ordered a roast with a vegetarian Wellington! The roast veg were stone cold! The Wellington came out as a tart and I couldn't even cut into it! The mash was really dry and luke warm!!! And the list goes on and on!!! So long story short we all left disappointed and hungry!!! I feel they took on more covers than they could cope with! And inturn ruined our afternoon out as a family! I'm sure in time we will laugh about it all! But I will not return and would not recommend!! It could have been a bad day for the chef, and I'm sure if u like instant mash and microwave meals then it may be ok with less people ordering.

Great local pub with friendly staff and pub grub food at prices lower than other Marstons pubs in area

Food served quickly regardless of busy night. Hot, tasty. Served by friendly and helpful staff

We were a party of 6. We ordered our meals and waited for them to arrive. We had 3 Hunter's Chicken which arrived with no tomato, cheesy garlic bread x 2 which arrived with no cheese which was sent back to be rectified. Chicken was not very warm but looked cooked. We ordered puddings and waited 30 minutes for them to arrive. I went to the bar and explained that if we didn't have them within the next 5 minutes we would have to cancel as we had theatre tickets. They didn't arrive so we went to settle the bill. We were told only the manager could refund the desserts and he was asleep! He eventually came to refund the puddings with an attitude that was, quite frankly, very rude. We paid the bill and left. We frequent the Flintlock monthly but with this manager in charge it has really gone downhill. There is NEVER enough staff on, they are busy serving drinks so the meals are literally left on the side so are only ever lukewarm when they finally get to your table. Lunchtime is slightly better, but only if there are a couple of people in. Come on Marstons, please get this sorted.

What a change - I haven't visited this pub for years since moving away and it has since had a well needed refurbishment. Great food and good beer

We came here today as a family of 4 for mother's Day. The staff were very pleasant showing us to our seats & getting our drinks which my father paid for. From here, is where it all goes terribly wrong. I ordered 2 roast beef Sunday lunches, 1 roast turkey only to be told there was no turkey so I changed mine to ½ roast chicken & my partner had the sharing nachos from the gluten free menu as she's a coeliac. My partners nachos appeared after about 15 minutes so we assumed our roasts would be appearing pretty soon after however, after a further 20 minutes our meals still hadn't arrived so I asked the waitress where our meals were & with a horrified look she apologized & said she forgot to tell the kitchen to send it all toger & disappeared into the kitchen. After 5 minutes, 5 came to our table that they were just plating our meals & would be with us shortly. We waited for another 20 minutes before the food finally arrived & then, it was warm at best. Mine also arrived with no pig in blanket as apparently they'd run out. Alot of people in Hinckley have said that it has gone downhill since it was taken over last year & I can confirm this. Maybe one for Ramsay's kitchen nightmares!!

Me and my family had a bad experience here. One of the older waitresses was very rude and the food we were served was dry. Wouldn’t recommend, save your money or spend it elsewhere.

Great visit to the Flintlock lovely looking pub full of character and characters! Food was great had some sharers really loved the cauliflower wings, was delivered quickly everything tasted great and was really well priced.

Had a date night with my fiancee had the new southern fried chicken hunters chicken was delicious the staff was really friendly

Came in last night for food and drinks with my fiancee food was very nice and not long to wait. Staff was very friendly and helpful, good value for money and will be returning

Absolutely disappointed in the way this so called restaurant is being run, we had to wait well over an hour for food and when it did eventually come out, it looked disgusting. I saw another customer complaining and i was shocked to see the manager get in the face of the customer almost as if he was going to assault the young man. Definitely will not be returning and would not recommend to anyone.

Really liked this pub. Great atmosphere, easy location. Has a bar and lounge separate which is great.

Friendly staff and good service. Kerry is an absolute diamond so helpful and very chirpy. Would recommend the flintlock for a friendly night.

Visited for food and drinks, service was quick, staff were attentive, food was well presented and very nice. Clean and tidy throughout.

Absolutely disgusting, food & service rubbish, when complained the manager became abusive & aggressive.

This pub is disgraceful including food, so called chef & manger .And when we complained to the manager he was unprofessional,rude and verbally abusive to my Nana and mum. Accused us of taking pictures of his staff (which we definitely do not do) and proceeded to call us liars. Never again!

Good pint and food is very nice,especially the southern fried chicken burger supreme.

Went to the flintlock 27th January for my brothers birthday we all had some food which delicious we also had some drinks all the staff was amazing so efficient Will highly recommend

Great mood, had the mixed grill, steak was cooked as ordered and delicious. The whole meal was fantastic and I had a great night, friendly staff too.

Had an epic evening celebrating my partner's and sister-in-law's birthday. Food was fantastic, wasn't too loud, staff were pleasant and a bonus is I noticed kids are allowed in the restaurant (we've even turned away from others with the kids). Planning to go back with...

Very nice pub! Excellent food and promptly served by friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended

Just recently moved to the area so we came in for a drink and food. I don’t normally leave reviews but was very disappointed. I waited a long time to be served no bar staff were present. Decided not to order food in the end...

Good pub, good food. We will definitely be going back

Meal was ok 👍 would use it again

For a big pub, it is very small inside

Friendly staff, the Bar needs decorating

The food is good and reasonable, not high end but real value for money,the pub is pleasant and comfortable but the real gem is the staff they're always helpful and polite.

Best beer in this part of Hinckley. It's that sort of pub. Food as Marston's van man buys it. Good value,friendly,

Dreadful experience. Gave up after 1 hour and 10 minutes waiting for meal to arrive. No apology for delay. Addition to my original review: Owner has posted a reply below in which he accuses me of theft by not paying for the drinks. These were paid for before the meal was ordered which he would know if he checked the meal order on the till. I find his attitude is despicable and I'm happy to go to court if he believes I didn't pay for the drinks. I now expect an apology on here which , if not forthcoming will just add to my original post about dreadful service.

Came here for first time to watch England match (boring match). Nice friendly pub, food was good. All round good atmosphere.

Hats off to the Flintlock . We have yet to be let down and we go for a meal once week .Food is cooked to perfection / no sticky tables ( our pet hate) friendly staff and just a home away from home ( comfortable when we’re there. See you next week . Oh and compliments to the Chef 👩‍🍳 Robert and Estelle Downing

Food very bland, frozen chips and tasteless fish. Nice friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.

The Flintlock is always a friendly and w
