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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Stayed here while doing PADI dive qualification dives over at Stoney Cove. This place is a real piece of history as an old Coaching Inn. Lacked some of the mod cons of contemporary hotels but if you want to step back in time this is your place. Nice bar, lovely breakfast - the lady who served was wonderfully attentive and there was a real sense of family. Outside there is a passageway where I guess the old coaches would have come through but now it's an amazing piece of art is only how I can describe it you have to see it to understand. All in all well worth a visit and I'd happily stay here again. Cheers

Thought we'd give this place another shot after 2 years, terrible decision, even worse than last time! Despite confirming the food to come altogether, meals from 1 kitchen came together, then after being told 5 minutes for the pizza (fine) then again 10 minutes after, just a few more minutes, 2 pizzas arrived 30 minutes later!!! 3 of the party had already completed their meals, 3 of of the remaining party were still waiting for their food. Only when I asked why the pizzas took so long was I informed there was a problem with the oven. There was no attempt to let us know this beforehand!! Things go wrong, we could've ordered something else. Also not sure how the kitchen think 3 burnt yorkshires is acceptable to dish out.. A terrible experience overall, will not be returning. Prices are quite high for the quality and quantity of food you receive which isn't the end of the world, however you expect good food and good service to go hand in hand, this certainly wasn't the case. I would just add that when the pizza finally arrived, it was piping hot and tasted pretty good. But the experience just left a bitter taste in our mouths, quite disappointing

Came here for a birthday brunch today and don’t normally have any issues but I found a half eaten chip in my beans (I ordered a cooked breakfast) and then we also ordered some sides and when the server (young ginger girl) brought them out she said “did you order more food?” In a sassy tone so we said yes they’re for us and she goes “I got confused when I saw the order coz you already have food so didn’t think you’d order more”. Really didn’t appreciate the rudeness and tone from the server, plus the food was cold. Not a brilliant experience.
