The Golden Shield in Harborough

Lovely friendly pub, with an old world charm and fabulous welcome. Like many pubs these days it's not able to provide food as owner has a second job. I only marked down due to opening times being wrong. Opens at 4pm at moment, that said everyone coming in was treated like family.

Good choice of well kept real ale.

Brilliant it's had a great make over whilst keeping the traditional pub atmosphere

I only visited following a funeral along with the family so it is difficult to give a proper review. The premises were very clean. The staff were very helpful and courteous.

A great place with lovely staff and a good selection of drinks. Good car park and garden also

Great pub, kid friendly and can order amazing fish and chips from the local chippy.

Great pint , cracking atmosphere.

We visited the golden shield while on a canal boat holiday. We were hoping for food but unfortunately they weren't serving. However, they were very accomodating by recommending various takeaways which they allowed us to have delivered. They even supplied us with plates and cutlery!

An excellent pub, made even better as they had a beer festival on! 🍺🍺

Lovely pub, unfortunately only do food Thurs to Sunday.

Lovely pub, friendly and helpful staff and a great atmosphere - what more do you need? 😎

Nice to see busy pub with friendly locals. Bar staff seemed a little in experienced but great atmosphere.

Popped in for a drink after a splendid shopping trip. The service was amazing. Michelle the very pleasant bar staff on tonight, was polite, friendly & chatty. ‘Grandad’ the waiter. Delivered our drinks to our table without spilling a drop. Will definitely go again

A lovely atmosphere. We felt very welcome as did our dog, Bailey. Will definitely be back.

Kian was an especially good waiter, he was friendly and welcoming to the table, would recommend- ask for kian

A friendly warm pub with great food.

Very good service and staff friendly

Great atmosphere & friendly people. Great selection of Ale's & the classics. Will be visiting again soon.

Always have a great time at the Golden Shield

Nice chilled out pub, good atmosphere. 👍

Great service Lovely people Atmosphere good aswell

Nice friendly pub with village friendly people

Very accomodating to our family this afternoon. Lovely little pub.

We visited the Golden Shield wile on a canal holiday on the nearby Grand Union Canal. This is a nice pub with friendly staff. We were able to order a takeaway meal to be delivered (covid reasons) which was hit and tasty. Inside was clean and well decorated and most importantly a nice pint!

Great village pub. Very good service & lovely atmosphere very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing cant beat the family friendly atmosphere they couldn't of done more to make our visit more pleasant well worth a visit

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great experience!

A brilliant pub in a good village with superb hosts

Excellent Covid safe environment and great service.

I am so happy that I decided to go to the Shield for a Sunday dinner. It was my husbands 60th birthday and I had surprised him with family coming to visit and a meal out. First of all, I cannot thank Stacey enough for how helpful and accommodating she was when I asked about eating there.....nothing was too much trouble for her which I am really appreciative of. As for the food....absolutely AMAZING! Hot, loads of it and tasted fantastic. The desserts.... OMG! Beautifully presented and so moreish! We will definitely be back and I couldn’t be happier with everything. THANK YOU.

Went to meet friends lovely homely pub made very welcome

Great service and very welcoming

A fantastic village local pub full of character with a great selection of drinks and good food. Stacey the landlady makes time for the customers to provide that extra experience. Will be back soon👍

Not a good experience tonight the service was aweful and the food was rubbish .

Very friendly and a good atmosphere

Excellent coffee with complete service (cream and chocolate) only £1!

Excellent pub, wonderful landlady and amazing clientele

Decent boozer with nice beers and friendly staff also. A nice little village pub, well worth a visit.

Real ale pub with a good well kept selection of real ales. Didn't try the food.

Lovely local pub, great selection of drinks and bar snacks, always a nice calm atmosphere. Great place for a relaxing pint.

Went to a wake. Staff not very friendly. Asked 3 times for hot water to make a cup of tea and still waiting a week later

Lovely friendly atmosphere and great food.

A very busy little pub which serves a very limited meal menu.

Refurbishment in progress but open for locals to avoid riots. Good show !

Had the most delicious Sunday lunch there. Delightful helpful staff and friendly locals. Would definitely visit again.

Good food good beer nice people

First class meal would use this place again

Stopped off for an evening meal on our back from spending a week in Derbyshire. As a family of four we all ordered something different and all food was cooked to perfection and very generous portions....it was the best peppercorn sauce my husband had tasted! Stacey the landlady was very friendly and accommodating I would definitely recommend Beaus at the Golden shield.

Good ales, nice beer garden and a nice atmosphere

Food is spot on,beer is good,what more do you want ? + Stacey the landlady is ok lol

I always visited to enjoy the excellent chilli prawns. However my last visit was disappointing. The place has had a makeover and that seems to include the food. Chilli prawns now a sad facimilie of the previous version, no fire, no flavour. We asked for it to be spiced up but the result was watery and anemic.

Great beer and a friendly atmosphere

Very busy the day we went as football on TV. Typical local

Very good. Enjoyed dinner here.

A cold restaurant and on mentioning this the landlady became quite aggressive in her approach. No menu except on blackboards. I didn't mention regarding the quality of the food - burnt garlic bread and also burnt lasagne and the chips were overly greasy as they had been cooked several times. A very dark and intimidating car park and could ideally do with a sensor light to help. The website had said cosy and I think they meant cold and unfriendly (cold atmosphere). I think that the landlady need some people skills and customer service training.

Great little pub in a great village, food is excellent, beer is superb and the landlady is wonderful, oh and the garden is brilliant to sit in and enjoy the silence!

An ok-ish kinda place. Good for stopping off with your pup for a pint as they're dog-friendly :) Nice beer garden.

Having recently moved into Fleckney we were in search of our new local. Didn't take long to find the Golden shield. Great place with fantastic friendly staff, Stacey, the landlady, makes you feel like you're part of the family.. (starts to pour without asking..not sure if that's a good or bad thing ha!) & folks about are very friendly. So, we decided to try their Sunday lunch.....if you haven't tried it yet..what are you waiting for? Food is excellent and hot! We tried the beef and lamb, succulent and plenty of it with seasonal veg and lashings of gravy. Rhubarb and custard with ice cream and profiteroles Mmmmmmmm!!! Finished with filter coffee and cream and mints. No cooking, no washing up and no breaking the bank. Cannot recommend it enough. Book today!!

Great Sunday lunch. Excellent food

Great village pub. Good food and good outdoor area

Friendly staff, nice friendly local crowd. Relaxed atmosphere. Great beers!!

We visited the Golden Shield on a canal holiday with friends. It was about 15 minutes walk across the fields but well worth the trip. There was a good choice of real ales including Ghost ship and Landlord which are particular favourites of our party. The food was a cut above normal pub grub and offered an extensive menu. I had the moules marinieres and sirloin steak and both were good. Salad and vegetables were also provided. An added bonus was a performance by the Leicester Morris Men. Service was efficient and friendly

Four of us all had different meals which were all fantastic. My steak was the best I have had in years, perfectly done and melted in my mouth. The garlic mushrooms were heavenly ! If I lived closer I would visit frequently. Friendly staff and enough light to see what you are eating for once ! Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, good food, and nice surroundings

We recently visited friends in the Leicestershire area where we came across this little gem. we stopped of for some refreshments and not knowing the area that well we did not know what to expect, Well let me tell you, we had the warmest welcome from the staff who could not do enough for us, We decided to stay for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious, all fresh produce and served with a smile, and at a very competitive price. So if you like a traditional village pub, with plenty of character, and a great selection of beers, wines, soft drinks, good size car park and beer garden, this has got to be worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.
