The Grey Goose in Harborough

Visited on a Thursday night , ordered the lamb with creamy mash instead of roasted new potatoes. The mash was dehydrated cheap smash style mash I discovered after having a mouthful of powder which obviously hadn’t been mixed properly. Expensive and disappointing as they portray themselves as fine dining not cheap packet food.

Very nice restaurant. We would come here for a special occasion (it was our anniversary). Staff are very friendly and accommodating, but not overbearing. The food is superb - nicely presented, but not just a "painting on a plate", you actually feel nice and full afterwards. It was busy when we went (Sat evening), but the general chatter in the restaurant was pleasant and not too loud. Would thoroughly recommend.

Visited many times, food and service are always great, highly recommend.

Yet another lovely lunch here, this time with the grandchildren.

We love going to the Grey Goose in Gilmorton, Food, Wines and Service are all excellent. We had Pinot Noir, Steak, Beef Medallions, kids had Pasta, Fish fingers. Puddings are always delicious !!! But we do miss the Pate' chutney starter which is no longer avail. Highly Recommend a visit.

First visit for a Sunday carvery and left totally and utterly satisfied. Service, atmosphere and food all first rate. It's clear to see why it's so popular.

Went for a birthday meal. We were given menus and ordered drinks. 20 minutes later someone came to take our food order but no drinks had arrived we had to ask them for the drinks again. The food arrived and only three of the four dishes we had ordered were brought. The waitress said nothing, so we waited for the fourth dish when it didn’t come we called the waitress to ask where it was and it turned out she hadn’t actually passed the order to the kitchen. Eventually the fourth meal arrived when everyone else had finished theirs. We were then asked if we would like to see the dessert menu which we said yes, said dessert menu was not brought to us. When we asked for the bill and to speak to the manager to complain the attitude was very much “sorry, not sorry” I’ll take a bit off your bill. A discount on the bill doesn’t compensate for the awful service we received practically from the moment we sat down.

Really nice place modern welcoming and the sunday carvery was cooked good hot fresh and verity of food weldone team

One visit is enough. I’m always honest and try to say something positive even if it’s not somewhere I liked. Well, the bread selection was nice. The rest though, from the complete lack of character of the dining area, a big white box with spotlights, to the service to the greasy food was not good. Would not definitely not recommend.

Food was amazing as always good home cooked food and very good value for money staff are all very friendly and nothing is to much trouble

Best carvery we've had and worth paying a bit extra for, great service too. Can see why it gets busy.

Very good food good service reasonable price

Disappointing second visit. Food was nice, but the service needs attention.

What can I say, highly recommended by a friend, we booked in for a birthday celebration and a table for six. Plenty of parking on site and also on the road outside, warm welcome when we entered the Grey Goose and the team welcomed us to our table. Service was prompt and drinks orders taken with five minutes of being seated. Great menu and also a good range of specials to chose from, these are behind the bar but our waitress was quick to tell us of them. The restaurant is large and almost deceiving from the outside, we expected a quiet small village restaurant but the Grey Goose has a large spacious dining area and even on a busy Saturday evening, it wasn’t cramped. Food was great, tasty and well presented, two of us had the special 24oz T bone steak, other than America it has to be one of the most tasty I have had in the U.K., perfectly cooked, well presented and so tasty! The beef medallions taken by my wife and mum were tasty and full of flavour, fish and chips was cooked to perfection and the batter was very tasty! If your in the area or like us took a trip to enjoy the grey goose you won’t be disappointed, great staff, atmosphere and food, what more can you ask for!

Great food good price great sett

A Christmas restricted menu but quality food. Main course and dessert only but all choices were top drawer. Reasonable price too.

Accommodated my last minute booking and the meals were fabulous as usual. The salmon dish one of the best I have ever tasted and the steak done to perfection.

So an early week date night but being December the restaurant was busy, but we were attended to and seated straight away. The decor and ambience were all very good and the service excellent all night. We ate from the Festive a la carte menu, and there was great choice, and not just festive food. The portion sizes were good value, and the selected produce excellent, an example would be the Tiger prawns in my starter, these can often be more like shrimp in some places but these were truly large and tasty. My wife's Brie was also equally impressive. Mains, comprised short ribs with various accompaniments but special mention should be made of the truffle mash! and the Salmon Fillet special with a giant couscous that impressively had great flavour (note I'm not couscous fan but I tried and liked this). We did have dessert, as based on the first two courses we could not, and they did not disappoint, a fantastic Stick toffee pudding, and a Chocolate mouse that was apparently delicious! All in all a fantastic meal, with stunning food and great service in a lovely setting...we will be back and have already recommended friends try it!

Every time I come here I get a good meal. Consistent high standards, definitely recommended.

Food was delicious, I had the aubergine with Mediterranean couscous and sweet potato fries. One of the best meals I've had in a very long time. We will be back for sure!

One of the best carveries I've ever had. Had roast pork with oodles of crackling and all the veg, stuffing and pig in blankets. The servers were pleasant and efficient. All in all a super experience. I'll be back

first time coming here, we went as a family last week, instantly greeted by a lovely waitress (we can’t remember her name but she had a bow in her hair if that helps?). Was instantly seated and asked about allergies etc. However there was a leak from the ceiling onto our table that the waitress noticed and went to her manager about (we didn’t even notice it didn’t affect us) and we were offered a new table. We declined it as stated earlier it didn’t affect us. The waitress was absolutely lovely and really really funny, saying how if we moved we wouldn’t be in her section and my wife said she’d fight the manager and a strong word to have this waitress if we were to move, as she was just so lovely. She understood my daughter was autistic and went into detail about what options there was and customisations the kitchen could make. Honestly amazing service. After this we were then forced by an older member of staff to move to another table where this staff member would be our server instead. She took too long to send us to the carvery even when it was empty and we just wanted our original waitress back. The food was absolutely devine and we felt it was good value for money, we will definitely definitely be coming back especially if we get our original waitress next time.

One of the best carvery"s I've had beautiful food in a lovely modern pub,highly recommend

Very average and definitely had better carvery/ roast dinners from restaurants close by. Smoke from the fire dominated the restaurant, we all had to shower when we got home and all clothes had to be washed. Little ones eyes watering. Ordered drinks 3 times before they were delivered correctly. We were very much looking forward to the food as was a birthday celebration however the beef was chewy and the turkey had blood spots. Service was ok however not sure that all the staff getting their dinners and eating potatoes and crackling behind the carvery counter was appropriate for the price tag. Won’t be returning again in the near future as sadly so many better options literally up the road.

We met up with family here for some lunch which we had booked a table. The place was very busy, the car park in an ok size and just managed to get a parking space. We were taken to a table straight away. We ordered drinks which didn't take too long to arrive, however we were then ignored for over 30 minutes before we got someones attention so we could order food. We all had the carvery which this was really nice, some people got more meat than others it seemed with some of the people in front of us and other saw afterwards. The food was really good. Overall the staff were relatively friendly, service wasn't the best with staff standing around looking at people but not being overly attentive. The car park doesn't have any lighting so when it gets dark it can be difficult to see. The food is good. The decor is good. Overall this is a nice place to visit

Fabulous lunch at the Grey Goose the food was excellent as always, and the service too. Can't wait to visit again soon

Great food and service. We had a lovely 60th birthday celebration

The best Carvery in Leicestershire everything from the food, staff and venue was perfect. I would highly recommend….. 👌

Love this place, and keep returning

The Grey Goose is always consistently excellent. We were there for a special birthday celebration. The Carvery is superb, large portions, along with really good wines, and the service is excellent, with really friendly staff. The ambience there is very cozy too. If you want a special time, then look no further than The Grey Goose, 5 star!

Always a great visit. The food is amazing, Sunday lunch is just fantastic. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble at all. Can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommended ☺️

Best Sunday lunch in Leicestershire bar none

Came here with high expectations and the initial ambience and welcome were good. Staff seemed friendly and helpful too, but the food was not really great. I had soup which tasted good but was lukewarm. My wife and a friend had prawns in sauce on lettuce leaf which was supposed to come with a vol-au- vent but this was missing. These complaints were told to the waiter who said ‘I’ll tell the chef’, he never came back. The pork portions were small and I had to pester for crackling, when it eventually came in a huge pile it was hard and inedible. It’s the chefs fault clearly in letting food like this leave the kitchen, as is not a cheap place. Pity.

Went on a Tuesday night for my daughters birthday. They have an early bird menu that runs until 6:30, i think, but you can also choose from the standard menu. 4 of us went, 2 chose from the early bird and myself and daughter had the steaks from the main menu, 1 with a pepper sauce and 1 with a stilton. All the dished were really tasty, only negative is that the early bird portions are not that generous, my partner is not a massive eater but she would have welcomed a bigger serving, even is it was just some more veg. On a positive note the steaks were fab, cooked to perfection and topped off with the tasty sauces. Very good, we'll be back.

Fantastic lunch. Brilliant service. Excellent quality of cooking from starter to dessert. First time here and it was perfect.

I had my 60th Birthday Cellebration here and the whole event was excellent from the food, service, support from the team to give my guests and myself the best fine dining experience. Have since been back 3 more times and love visiting for excellent food and service. well done all xx

We've been here many times and it never disappoints! We started with the Crab soufflé and whilst calling it a soufflé was pushing it! It was delicious We both had Steaks which were Tender and true and cooked to perfection Service was attentive and friendly all in all it was great! On a negative point it is so noisy in the restaurant and needs soft furnishings or carpet to fix it

Impeccable service and the food very delicious , wine choice good .

Lovely ambience with delicious food and great service

You won't find the same menu. Being a vegetarian I usually have not more than two choices on the menu. But the choices are amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is an experience to dine at the grey goose! Highly recommended!

Excellent eatery . Service impeccable, food delicious and spent a very relaxing few hours in this lovely place.

Two take away Sunday roast dinners. Wow. Amazing food Great service with a smile from all staff Highly recommend this place Hats off to you all 🙏🏻🫡

Very nice food served here, would recommend it 100% and they cater for Coeliac and vegan.

Great service and top quality food

My first time and it was fantastic the staff made my day and I loved the food, I will be back very soon

Excellent menu, great food, very busy for a Thursday night - a good sign👍

We stopped here whilst travelling down to Heathrow from York, it is just off the motorway and half way along the journey and looked to be a good spot to get something to eat. On arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to our seats.There is something on the menu for everybody. Our son chose the burger, my wife opted for the seafood salad and I had the ribs and we had a side of chunky chips. My son devoured his burger in no time and declared it was excellent and he would definitely have it gain. My wife's salad looked delicious, plenty of prawns and salmon alongside fresh crispy salad. My ribs were as good as any I have had in the UK, the meat literally fell off the bones and was wonderfully moist and tender and the bbq sauce complemented it perfectly. The chips were the chunkiest perfectly cooked chunky chips we've ever had, crisp and golden on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside. The portion size was ridiculous and the three of us could not manage to polish them off. The service was excellent, we will definitely call here again, it was well worth the slight detour.

Lovely evening meal. Nice menu with good selection, food beautifully presented and well cooked, good portion size. Felt a little rushed to get the order in at the start, we were asked about 3-4 times if ready for the order for drinks and food choices. Maybe a little over attentive at the start before the restaurant filled up. Otherwise a great meal and restaurant to have nearby. Would return! Panna cotta was amazing 😋

Extensive menu, very friendly staff and great food. Definitely not cheap but never had a bad meal.

Everything was excellent, amazing food and service

Im a firm believer in second chances. However once again the Grey goose didn't live up to the standards everyone raves about . I came here 5 years ago and had a bad experience and tonight was no exception either unfortunately. We came out for a birthday meal to which was a disappointment if an evening . We were greeted fine , sat down and instantly asked if what drinks we would like . ( we had not even been given a drinks menu ) . The young lad went and got the menus and then instantly asked us what we wanted to drink before we had even opened it . Starters were actually really nice , couldn't fault them there. Main course - THE PROBLEM 3x fillet steaks 1x sirloin steak This is what we ordered , 1x of the fillet steak was cold and the 1x Sirloin was also cold . We told the waitress straight away and she apologised. She took the steaks off our plates and went to the kitchen and said it would be 5 minutes . It was more like 10-15 minutes so we sat with our chips and garnish on our plate whilst everyone else ate . I was just about to cancel the whole replacement because it took so long, when she appeared with the new meals to hand . Even though she replaced them , the sirloin was definitely a rump , the taste and the texture gave it away but I didn't want to kick up a fuss as it was my step dads birthday. Everyone else had finished their own food at this point which left two people eating and two people sat there twiddling thumbs again . Overall the experience wasent great , at not one point we're we offered a drink whilst we waited which would of taken the tone off the disappointment . In fact nobody actually came offer us drinks throughout the service apart from at the start . I'm not sure if it's because the staff were young and inexperienced, but they seemed robotic and scripted . When the waiter came to clear our plates he asked " was everything ok " I said no it wasent great to be honest. He didn't even reply or ask what was wrong ... Strange . I could slightly understand if they were busy , but they had plenty of staff on and it really was not busy at all . We asked for the bill , sat for a further 15 minutes whilst they didn't get the card machine . In the end we just walked to the bar and paid , as the old saying goes " if you want something doing , do it yourself " I think for a £200+ meal , to not eat all together and the way it was handled on such an occasion isn't acceptable personally. There's a reason you go to these upper pub/restaurants like this , you expect better service and food . The grey goose doesn't live up to its competitors in this aspect. I know other people have had a great experience here , however I must just be unlucky in the fact lightning strikes twice . I think you'd get better food/service at any of the other pub/restaurants around Leicestershire. Would I come back ? Probably not Would I recommend? Likewise no Shame .

Excellent food (like extremely good), great surroundings and decently priced for the standard. All members were well attentive, would highly recommend

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a 3 courses. The restaurant is always very clean and inviting. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food was delicious.

Great carvery for Sunday lunch... Although the knives weren't sharp enough to cut through the roast beef. Very busy... So booking is a must. Also very loud... Great for groups. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Definitely on the pricier end of the Sunday roast scale.

Amazing carvery and the doombar was spot on not too busy but need to book.

Nice food, staff were great, nice pub, a bit overpriced compared to other places we've been to with equal food and staff.

One of my favourites. Fantastic food and brilliant service...every time

Always had really nice meals here. Have been here a few times before and will be back again. If I was pressed to give a negative, the only thing I could say is that on our last visit one of the mains wasn't overly warm - but we let the waitress know and it was quickly rectified.

What an amazing place, great food, amazing staff definitely be visiting again.

Delicious carvery, friendly staff and lovely outdoor area.

Nice place and good food. Only problem was how noisy it was as it was so busy , we couldn't hear each other.

Our party of five enjoyed an excellent lunch well-served by friendly and efficient staff. One of us selected the 3 Course priced lunch (Soup, Sea Bass and Chocolate Fudge Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream), three of us selected the 2 Course priced lunch and one selected the Moules dish as a main course. The Sea Bass and Lasagne were very tasty and the Chocolate Fudge Cake was excellent. A very enjoyable lunch. Thank you, The Grey Goose!

Note quite 4. Food was pretty good. Fresh and generous portions. Amazing bread. Service was slow. 25+ mins for two sandwiches. Olives plentiful but not great quality. Ambience lacking. Sticky and wobbly table. Pretty good for a pit stop nonetheless.

The food was super cool. The meal took a bit of time to get ready though. The atmosphere is fancy.

Excellent Monday evening dinner for 2. Price was fair, service and meals both very good.

Friendly staff and atmosphere lovely

Had a lovely time with our friends. Service excellent. It was a catch up "date" so had lots to talk about and wasn't rushed off our table. The main meal wasn't quite so good but starters and puds excellent

It was really nice and the food was great too.

First rate food, service and atmosphere would thoroughly recommend

Nice pub, it's bigger than you think when you step inside. Foods good, staff are friendly and helpful and parking is good.

the starters were ok, however, the main course (type fourchette) was terribly cooked, and the bowls were empty and without much choice. The place really noisy by music in their speakers.

Spot on as always. Keep up the good work.

We came to try a Sunday carvery costing £17.95 per person. We'd been here before for an evening meal, which we rated one of the best we've experienced. Today, trying the carvery, overall, the food was tasty, hot, and plentiful. But the veg was undercooked for my taste. Meats on offer were turkey, pork, and beef. I chose beef, and it was a bit too chewy for me. The roast potatoes, I think, had been kept hot for too long because the skins had become tough to cut and chewy. The gravy was very nice. I wouldn't choose to have Sunday lunch here again.

Sunday carvery is possibly the best I've had. The only thing they serve you is meat, then you can have as much or as little crackling, Yorkie puds, stuffing etc. as you want. Meat is tender and juicy, veg is cooked just right and the gravy is lovely. Highly recommended.

Lovely place. food. and staff. .Will defanetly go again.

The food was lovely, it was a bit loud although it was not crowded. One of the girls serving was rather abrupt in her manner. The dryer in the ladies did not work probably.

We went for sunday lunch at easter i would highly recommend this place .The food was excellant .

It's been a while since the last time we were here. But the Carvery didn't disappoint, ir was amazing, the beef cooked rare, turkey was juicy, and the pork with cracklyn amazing, then you have all 5 veg and potatoes...... Pudding was sticky toffee & ice cream 😋

Eat here all the time , Sunday Carvery is outstanding . Well worth visit , but you will need too book to avoid disappointment.

Fabulous. Quality tasting menu. Good service and a beautifully presented restaurant

Great food as always and great atmosphere

Beautifully decorated and clean, staff very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious and flavourful. Grey goose our favourite carvery so far.

Went here for Sunday roast and it was very good, especially the starters. I had the liver pate and my friend had the goat cheese souffle which was honestly the star. The carvery itself was nice, but due to the time we went (around 15:30), the potatoes had gotten a bit dry. The cheese cauliflower was excellent though, and the turkey was the best. Perfectly cooked and prepared. The inside of the place is really well done - it's modern and updated without losing the charm of the old building. Drinks were fab as well -- highly recommend the passionfruit mojito. Would definitely be back here! Make sure to book in advance as it fills up quickly.

Sunday lunch: Good value if you like big portions. The vegetables were good but the beef was actually inedible (half the table couldn't even chew it). Sorry but expected more as it has a good reputation!

Asked for steak medium came very pink. Roo. Very loud

First time to The Grey Goose…nice setting a busy restaurant but tables well spaced No visible ventilation windows closed it was very hot and lighting is very bright not a relaxed atmosphere Food was good although the main meals could have been hotter …parsnip and apple soup delicious 2 cocktails for £16 we had four and one came up at £17 only £1 pointed out to the staff member to be aware Amoretto Sours not made with egg white apparently they can be made this way no sour element to the cocktail we were told made with sugar syrup too sweet …name gives it away really needs lemon !! No interaction with staff got the impression they didn’t want to be there Not a great experience…

Food was fantastic, good selection of beers and the staff were great really friendly and quick without making you feel rushed. Great night out.

This was the best food I've had in Leicestershire for a couple of years. Absolutely delicious. Beautiful pigeon and perfectly cooked liver. 👏

Brilliant setting, cleanliness 100%, staff were fantastic and the food was fabulous. Highly rated and 3rd time visitor……. Will definitely be back next year when in business again in the area. Only wish the restaurant was near me.

Food was great, they were busy and it was noisy which my youngest daughter found difficult as she is autistic, not normally a problem but it was today and she didn't want to make an issue about it as we were celebrating our other daughter 21st birthday.

Had a lovely carvery today. Very busy but the service was great. Couldn't fault a thing.

First time here and loved 90% of our time here. The only point I would like to make, which stopped me doing 100%, a young waitress, served our drinks, but reached right over my main dish to put the glass down on my right side, and I had to move my headaway from my dish. And I saw another young member of staff, re setting the table, and putting the cutlery in the napkins, by holding them, not by the handle, but by the ends that go in the customers mouth. Service was also a bit slow. Otherwise an enjoyable meal x

Once again a wonderful lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. We entertained friends who had not visited the restaurant before they were very impressed. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours on such a dreary day outside. Gold stars for service,food and wine. Thank you to all the staff.

Small family birthday party. Food and service were fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Great gastro pub, excellent food, friendly service

Nice food and good service, music was abit loud for a conversation

Sunday carvery. Excellent, lots of vegetables and all well presented and fresh.

Our seating was cramped near bar area, but the table large. Food was very good overall. £24 for 2 courses Lunch. Bellinis starter disappointing. Main courses very good overall. Excellent apple crumble dessert.

Great carvery served by attentive staff in a bustling atmospheric restaurant with warm ambience and great selection of wines. Fantastic new covered outdoor space added for al fresco dining in the summer. Really popular. Back open on Mondays too with tastly Italian menu. Recommended.

Went for Sunday lunch 11th December. Although the carvery was good the restaurant was not. It was freezing cold, tables packed in, it was really noisy and you had to shout to be heard, and the knives were so blunt that cutting food was difficult. Please tell someone in charge to have the knives sharpened! Also, some of the wait staff seemed to do very little.
