The Griffin Inn Swithland in Charnwood

Me and my wife went last night to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, it's the first time we have eaten there for many years, and it was excellent, the food, service, and atmosphere was spot on we will be back, if you haven't been then go, we were treated to a glass on champagne that was a nice touch and a signed card for our anniversary , special shout out to Martin for the exceptional service

Don't tell others about this place. I want to get a table next time I go.

Impeccable! Food, service and atmosphere was amazing honestly can’t recommend it enough, hats off to the whole team!

Very nice place. Sunday dinner was very good. We will visit again

Went here today, 19 May 2025, at about 5 pm, and it was virtually empty at that point. I had fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, with a pint of Ambsel lager, which cost about £25. The fish was large, and the batter soft, the fish within was white and tasted fantastic with a hint of the sea. There was no fish smell indicating freshness. The chips were soft and cut readily with the knife. I enjoyed the tartare sauce. The pub is a lovely location and as I walked around the pub it was a nice cisy pub with a fire place central to the dining area. The pub was clean throughout, as was the outside area. Loved the pub as I was treated with respect and dignity. The staff were excellent, and I definitely did not feel discriminated in any way or form. I will definitely visit again!

Great food, beer and evening just very pricey!

Food and service were excellent and we had a super time. Only downside was a large group sat near us that had to shout to hear each other apparently.

A lovely place to go in the summer and for a celebration! 10/10 will be going again!

Lovely service, food and atmosphere. It was a little bit loud in the lower part of the restaurant- could possibly do with some sound buffers as when there are large groups of people that are chatting it becomes very loud

Came here for my best friends mothers birthday. Absolutely amazing staff, food was beautiful, surroundings gorgeous. Has been such a long time since we came to a pub/ restaurant of this standard. We all can’t wait to return again! Will be recommending to everyone.

Not a good place! my experience is of a place where there is a class divide which is encouraged by the management.The more you spend the more favourable service you get. Equality definitely doesn't exist here!!! Equality meaning defined as, state of being equal especially in status, rights and opportunities. It is 2025 and the modern world encourages parity. Let's hope it gets to Swithland soon!!

Amazing Sunday Lunch in the sunshine. Great food the best roast I have had in a long time. Good music. We ate outside in the courtyard which was perfect on a day that we were blessed with good weather. We ha previously ate inside which equally lovely. Thankyou Griffin Inn for such great memories.

1st time of visiting and will definitely be the last! Arrived on a warm afternoon after a long local walk for a drink and light bite to. On arrival we found a nice shady table in the courtyard area listening to a female vocalist, we then fetched drinks from the bar settled down enjoying both the music and our drinks while we deliberated on what to choose for our lunch. My partner and I choose a Pizza which was an option. My partner then informed me we couldn't sit in the courtyard but had to move to the lawn area, even though my partner had it confirmed by a member of staff said it was Ok. Other people were sat eating pizza on nearby tables and had been there for a while before us. I am not racist or prejudice in anyway and embrace the modern equality way of living colour race creed religion and treat everyone as equal, ( my partner is dual heritage) It appears the Griffin Inn management has a different view and in my opinion operates an "us and them"policy as the norm for normal brits like ourselves. When I pointed out my disdain and my money was hard earned like everyone elses around me and the same colour and currency aswell. The man in charge(He acted like he was in charge only confirmed this "us and them"policy actually existed and tried to justify it by claiming it was Saturday!!!) I can only think because I wasn't dressed like I was going to a wedding I felt most definitely discriminated against and aggrieved we could not comfortably sit in the shade and enjoy the same ambience and atmosphere like most others who had chosen to do so. We will definitely not go back as didn't feel welcome certainly do not agree with the clear discrimination driven by choice of what you eat!! I will definitely not visit again and discourage anyone else to having to experience what we did. Equality and diversity is now accepted across the world only not in Swithland, go somewhere else and enjoy good ambience and good food but most important of all be treated as equal!!

Celebrated my wife's birthday with friends with lovely evening meal. Impressed with the changes made to the bar and restaurant, the qual ity of the food and service from the staff was excellent. Will certainly be going back soon.

Excellent well-run local pub with a spacious clean outdoor courtyard and delicious high-end food options. The young, hardworking Saturday staff are exceptionally polite and helpful. This is a special place to bring visitors to the region, who will undoubtedly be impressed. Even my pea and mint soup was a revelation. Worth the higher than average prices, especially if you linger.

Me and my partner went here for our anniversary lunch.....food was beautiful and staff very friendly especially lyndsay who served us.....nothing was a problem she has a lovely personality and went above and beyond explaining the menu.. We will definitely be back again Place is stunning.

First time here and went with daughter and husband for our joint birthdays. Service excellent and with a smile, nothing too much trouble. Food excellent and we have been to some 5* star restaurants. We were impressed that we were asked if we wanted more yorkshire puddings and gravy without extra charge. All in all we would definitely go again.

Visited with family for lunch .We were looking forward to it after reading the reviews WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT AWFUL SERVICE Over an hours wait for a starter when restaurant wasn't overly busy Poor service throughout our time there dirty water bottle on the table which looked liked it had just come out of the dishwasher finger prints all over it One of the main meals so greasy and uneatable we weren't actually charged for it Had to ask for the dessert menu as the waiting staff just weren't interested in looking after us A very disappointing visit Won't be going back

Lots to love about this award winning village pub. Excellent service (always with a smile), love the outdoor seating area, live music, pizzas from the hut outside, excellent food menu and a great selection of modern and classic cocktails 🙏🏻 a great place to sit and chill.

Unfortunately I was disappointed with the food we received. I had the goats cheese tart to start, whilst the portion size was good it had a very dry pastry case and did not taste of goats cheese. I really didn’t enjoy the crab and lobster linguine was just not to my taste and the sticky toffee pudding lacked depth of flavour or richness compared others I have had in the past. Other people round the table noted that their ribeye steaks were not very warm, neither was my cappuccino. The Bakewell tart also had very dry pastry and more of a cake like filling rather than a frangipani filling which was disappointing. For the price I was expecting exceptional food and what we received was not.

We booked a table for nine people as a special family occasion. We booked at 6.30 pm so we could finish fairly early. For the first half an hour there was one waiter rushing about on his own trying to do everything and failing. We eventually placed our order at 7.15 pm. Restaurant was very noisy with everyone shouting. The first courses and nibbles seemed generously portioned and tasty. However when the main courses arrived things took a down turn. Most of the dishes were cold and portions were meagre. There seemed to be great quantities of chips. I ordered a double burger thinking this would be home made. The meat was cold and tasteless. The home made coleslaw was tasteless. Sticky toffee pudding appeared to be chocolate pudding covered in toffee sauce. Luxury hot chocolate was in a small tea cup and certainly not hot. I could go on but suffice it to say that none of us will be returning and won't be recommending this place to anyone. Total bill £554. Complete waste of money.

Wow - what a fantastic transformation! Delicious lunch with good service.Not rushed & great atmosphere.Sat indoors but outside seating also looked very inviting had it been a fraction warmer.Will be visiting again - thank you

Overpriced. Service was good. Establishment is good. Food is average and overpriced. Ladies toilet broken on 2 occasions.

Oh wow, this place was gorgeous. So glad my family took us here. Dog friendly beer garden and wonderful main dining room. Excellent food, views and staff.

Excellent service great atmosphere.Food good location great and plenty of different sitting areas. Arguably slightly pricey but blinking good. 5/5

Visited the Griffin Inn Swithland for Mothers Day. Beautiful place, good service but the food was very disappointing. Three of us had the Cricketers Roast that had a £3.95 supplement, it was described as Beef, Pork & Chicken so we thought we were going to get a lovely meal and portion, in reality there was an extremely thin slice of Beef, a small slice of Pork and a chicken leg, it was obvious that a lot of effort had gone into making the portion so poor. The gravy was tasteless and the Yorkshire puddings were cold and dry. My father had beef which again was the thinnest and poorest portion . All in all we paid £250 and left very disappointed. Would genuinely be hesitant going again as the portion and quality was poor.

Very impressive place. Bar, quiet pub, restaurant, courtyard and garden. Food was very nice.

We had a meal here Wednesday night, calamari batter burnt, linguine overcooked, lobster raw, forgotten drinks, forgotten dessert, you charge but don’t deliver this is the third disappointing meal we’ve had the other two were @ your sister restaurant will not be returning. It’s such a shame, when you have such wonderful places, beautifully decorated, great outside space, expect better so disappointed ☹️

Great place delicious breakfast

We went for the Saturday breakfast, one if the best eggs royal and pancakes we've ever had!

A really nice warm welcome on arrival. The seating out front is very inviting, with a canopy providing cover, lights on each table creating a cozy atmosphere, and a grand olive tree as a stunning centerpiece. We chose to sit in the new barn, which had a lovely atmosphere. The service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. We ordered from the spring à la carte menu, selecting the chicken thigh burger with chipotle mayo and the poke bowl with sticky chicken. Both dishes were well presented and flavorful, though they were really just classic pub fare. Nevertheless, everything was enjoyable, and the setting made for a delightful experience overall.

A great place. Food great and interesting. Staff were great, helpful, keen and efficient. Lovely surroundings and will be great for outdoor summer eating

Absolutely superb experience. It's the most welcoming pub we've been to. Every member of staff we spoke to were friendly and professional and extremely accomodating. The atomosphere was lovely. The food was exceptional. We had the lamb and the hake which were both beautifully presented and very tasty. The desserts were also brilliant. Highly recommended. We don't leave many reviews but felt the whole team needed a mention. They clearly put a lot of hard work and effort into making it a great place to visit.

Excellent! Even presented my mum with a slice of birthday cake, with a candle, despite none of us making the staff aware, or asking! I think they saw her badge and figured it out. That’s above and beyond service, and amazing food, and environment.

Beautifully designed pub with good indoor and outdoor seating areas. Menu has something for everyone, and food was of high quality. Great service with a smile. Look forward to visiting in the summer months.

Polite staff, lovely food, great service and atmosphere.

I met some friends for lunch at the Griffin Inn this weekend. The courtyard area was really busy with the first real sunny day of the year. The courtyard seating area is gorgeous with a covered area with heaters and comfortable chairs with rugs. I was met by a lovely young lady with blue hair and a smile, she directed me to Sam who showed us to our table in the restaurant. Fantastic view from our table, the grounds and gardens are beautiful with fields just beyond. Coral and JJ were a our servers and they were just lovely, both were very engaging and had a good amount of knowledge of the menu and were very accommodating of one of our party. The food was delicious and we even had desserts. We will definitely be booking for our next meet up. Thank you to The Griffin Inn and we'll see you again soon.

I was at a 90th birthday lunch and was bowled over (forgive the pun) by everything about The Griffin. The layout and decor were very tasteful, the waiters friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing with beautiful presentation. I will be back.

Good and service excellent. Waitress could have sold ice to the Eskimos lol. Only issues were it was very noisy (four people, round table, near the bar). We could hardly hear our conversations. Other issue parking because the overflow Carpark was closed and we had to park along way away.

Fabulous meal from start to finish 5 in the group had a lovely evening our server lynsay was great x

The food here is so nice! Everything on the menu is well presented, varied and delicious. Great choice of drinks as well! The design and atmosphere is amazing, there is a very well designed restaurant area that has a fire in the middle and feels really modern, a bar restaurant area as well as the pub section. Also, the outside seating area is great for the summer with comfy sofas and tables to sit and eat or drink at. Overall it is a lovely place to be and all the staff are really friendly and professional.

Brilliant staff. Wonderful food

We had a delicious lunch today.. could not fault a single thing and a lovely waitress,who totally engaged with our grandson.. delightful... Great attention to details. 10/10

Really nice experience. Restaurant at the back was lovely, sat next to the window with the running brook which was a great view. Service was perfect and staff really friendly. Would recommend

This was my first visit to The Griffin Inn. I went there with other family members as a party of eight on a Sunday lunchtime, so it was quite busy. Our server was very attentive, patient, and helpful. The food was amazing. It was piping hot and tasted so nice. There were vegan options for my sister, who also enjoyed her meal. The atmosphere and vibe of the place were really good. Whilst we were eating our meals, a waitress came round with additional roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. It is difficult to fault anything about the experience. We left there feeling very satisfied with our visit, and shall definitely go back there again.

We booked here for Sunday lunch for our family for my husband and daughter’s birthdays. Fabulous meal, special, tasty, home cooked. Staff friendly and attentive. Cosy atmosphere with log burner. Children well catered for. I’m vegan and good choices for me. They came round during our meal offering extra roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding! Never known that before in a restaurant. Not the cheapest and my glass of wine was £9! However, perfect for a special occasion and I could not fault any part of the meal. All was delicious. I signed up for emails as expected to receive a free bottle of Birthday Prosecco, but sadly this didn’t happen. However, would 100% recommend The Griffin.

This is a lovely pub with amazing decor and pleasant, helpful staff. However, we were disturbed to see how frequently the main bar server used her fingers to handle ice and lemon, and generally prepare the drinks. At one point she collected ice she had accidentally dropped onto the bar surface and swept it into the cocktail she was preparing. It is not a great look and raises questions about hygiene and training. I am sure they can do better

The pub itself is large and spacious, with lovely decor a nice refurb. Menu choice is good and looks impressive. Staff were attentive and very polite. Food was good but not great considering the price point, Mid end restaurant pricing for what is basically posh pub food. A £20 Sharing platter was a few slices of meat, 5? Small ( 5 divided by 2??) croutons a pot of nice tapenade and a few small toms on a small platter. In essence this was a single serving, most definitely NOT a 2 person sharing. Appreciate costs are having a big impact on hospitality and making a profit but if you are going to charge make sure the final product matches that price? Such a shame as we went on such good recommendations.

A nice warm welcome to The Griffin awaited us upon arrival We were shown to the popular and busy bar(which perhaps could benefit from more than one team member) The ambiance was lovely as we took a seat and waited for our friends to arrive. They were slightly late, but there was no rushing us to the table, which was nice We skipped starters and chose burgers, steak and ale pie and fish & chips All food was to a high quality and served by friendly team members A lovely evening all in all A great eatery in the Northern region of Leicestershire

Amazing country pub with sleek interiors and cozy vibes. Came in as a party of 4. We Loved the service, Martyn in particular was attentive and friendly and looked after us from start to finish. Food was delicious. We will certainly be back

First time here since way back. The food was divinely scrumptious, beautifully served cooked to perfection tasting 'out of this world.' I had the sea bass, hubby the Korean Belly pork with desserts equally brill. Lovely, helpful staff, warm room with real fire & sumptuous surroundings with terrace & gardens outside. We're going back soon.

Visited for lunch today as a family of 6 for my Sons 40th Birthday. As both my sons are Chefs it is very rare we get out all together as a family, so this was special to us all. The transformation of The Griffin is wonderful, so light, airy and tastefully done, but still keeping some of its old charm. The team of staff were all so polite, efficient and welcoming. The communication after booking was faultless, we were regularly updated on local road closures and alternative routes. We all ordered something different and not one of us were disappointed. Sea Bass, Sausage Ragu, House Burger, Beef pie, Garlic Griddled chicken were the dishes we ordered, followed by Biscotti cheesecake, chocolate and orange torte, Tart tatin, Irish coffee, the food tasted superb, well presented, noticeably fresh ingredients and delivered to us hot. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and made our celebration incredibly special. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend this beautiful pub and its restaurant to anyone who appreciates, Good food at a fair price. Thank you to you all. Amanda & family

Beautiful place. I didn't get to eat here, just had a drink, but would definitely like to come back for dinner one day.

We popped in for a drink after a walk round Bradgate Park and it's a lovely spot! The staff were all incredibly welcoming and friendly to us non-locals, the pub itself is beautifully decked out. Will be back to try the food soon.

Lovely place to visit for food or a chilled out evening with live music in the garden

Very average quality food and small portions. This pub is very big and the food is all pre heated so sadly it comes out over cooked and lacking in quality and flavour. For the prices charged we expected something much better but it was very disappointing

We visited yesterday to celebrate my brothers birthday. The service and food were incredible! Nothing was too much trouble and every member of staff we dealt with went out of their way. Special mention to Emily on the bar, she provided the warmest welcome, smiley, friendly, attentive! My daughter loved her as she was paying her attention and laughing with her, she got her some cucumber sticks which kept her occupied too! She made sure we had everything we needed and couldn’t be more helpful. She is a credit to your business. We visit for drinks a lot and it is always 10/10 here! Thank you all x

My husband and I have just had the perfect lunch at The Griffin. I had the beef pie that was so tasty (possibly the best pie I have tasted). It was served really nice and hot with fresh tasting vegetables. My husband had the burger that had a really beefy flavour. I had the Tart Tatin for desert and was so engrossed in it I forgot to take a picture 😋 The staff are very friendly and their service and the beautiful surroundings make it a special dining experience. Thanks today to Cole, Edie and Aaron for their wonderful service today.

Excellent Sunday lunch x 4. Service friendly & efficient. Very busy including one large group. Sound level in restaurant made it difficult for anyone who had a loss of hearing.

Have visited a few times now and still loving the renovation. It's much more welcoming that it was before with a lively atmosphere. Food is nice and the pub half of the building is really cosy and allows dogs. Book ahead of time if you are looking to dine.

Last minute decision to go out as a family Had a tidy meal just what we ordered. The only things we would say is that the quality of the meat was let down by the poor wine. Went for the Malbec. Great that trying to sell a sustainable product but it was not served well it was chilled and it was not a significant taste for the price at £35 per bottle I would expect a DOC wine to prove sustainability and authenticity of where the wine is sourced. And for £35 I would definitely except a wine that taste better. Kids meals were poor. Burnt small burger and cold chips. Was eaten out of hunger rather than taste They also need to sort out the lighting

We spent our 2nd anniversary there yesterday. It was an amazing evening. We loved how friendly the staff were and how they congratulated us. I would highly recommend going to the griffin. It's an amazing venue with great food, great staff and an amazing atmosphere. We will back next year to celebrate our 3rd anniversary.

Delicious food for a group meal in December. Friendly staff.

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. Food very good and great to see some choice for vegan & gluten free people! Cauliflower starter very tasty. 5 people 3 courses with cocktails 🍸 £260. Just wish they gave the option to pay cash. We will be back 🍽️🍾🥂

Today's visit was our second where we were hoping for a repeat of the great experience first time, and we were not disappointed. Lovely atmosphere, very good food, superb friendly staff, all of them. And there aren't many places that would come around with a plate of Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes a few minutes after the mains had been served, asking if anyone wanted more. A simple but very effective touch. Very well done The Griffin Inn for serving up a wonderful experience, it's guaranteed we'll be back 👍.

Perfect spot for Sunday lunch after a lovely walk and dogs are welcome too!! Had a perfect spot next to the fire to warm us up too. We will be back

Fab pub/restaurant in beautiful countryside....dogs welcome.

All absolutely excellent - great service including recommendations from the menu, which we went for and were delighted with.

Dined here recently with family. One person behind the not particularly busy bar making coffees. No welcome. My wife had to track down someone else to serve us drinks before we took our table, as we wanted a drink in the bar first. My starter of beetroot and mackerel look and tasted good, could have done with some toast or a cracker and at £9.50 seemed expensive. My fish and chips were awful, both were barely luke warm and the fish very greasy (I assumed the oil wasn’t hot enough) despite someone else paying I had to send it back, if it was just warm I would have eaten it. Ben, who served us was very helpful. The Malbec I had wasn’t good enough for £35. I don’t know where to suggest as an alternative nearby but I would make the effort to go to the Hammer and Pincers at Wymeswold.

Myself and my family visited on Boxing Day and there was a wonderful Morris dancing show on in the courtyard, which was obviously very popular as the place was so busy! Samantha and her team delivered a wonderful service despite how busy it was. So nice to visit somewhere and see the staff smiling even though they are rushed off their feet! Samantha strives to make every customers day special. Can’t wait to revisit.

Lovely Pub recently refurbished to a good level. Great atmosphere. Stand outs were the friendly staff, bar and table service, quality and taste of food for all 4 of us and every course. Extra mile was coming round mid course with tray of extra roast spuds, if required. Good value for money. We will 100% be back...p.s looks to be a great outdoor area for the Spring/Summer. the only minor gripe was drinks to table service a bit slow otherwise 5star.

Thank you to all the team for the great service on Saturday 21st December who catered for our family Christmas get together, we had visited before the take over and were amazed at the transformation in the styling but not surprised after also visiting the Tap & Run

Family get together before Christmas. Great good, great choice of drinks and really dog friendly

Went on the Saturday evening just before Christmas for my daughter’s birthday. FYI if you sign up to their newsletter you get a free bottle of Prosecco on your birthday, result! They also confirmed we could bring in our own birthday cake without any extra charge to us, which was great. The Griffin Inn is beautiful, the decor is spot on and there was a lovely cosy buzz about the place. Owing to the time of year it was very busy, that said the waiting staff were attentive, happy and polite. We got there early and had a drink at the bar, cocktails were spot on, and they do a good draft Madri. They even topped up my coke at not extra charge. We sat at a round table, which I prefer, near the bar. Everything so far was lovely. Unfortunately what let things down was the food, which was not as good as it could or should have been, especially at the price point. I had fish and chips, but they were not very flavoursome, and a little dry. Other members of my family (of 6), felt their choices were also pretty underwhelming. No one choice was great. The venue is outstanding, but our expectations weren’t met food wise at all, had a nice time though.

Just went with a party of 7 of us for my father in laws birthday. Wow, the food was great, service was outstanding. My father in law was made a fuss off. Well done the team at the Griffin. have already booked again

I had not visited this restaurant in quite some time and it was pleasant before, however Saturday we arrived and it was completely transformed and simply amazing!!! Lovely staff, perfect food and amazing customer service & Cocktails... We were so very impressed! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Great place to dine. The restaurant is lovely but the outside dining and seating area is a beautiful setting for a nice drink and some food. Would definitely recommend!

A great menu, a lovely lunch and excellent service.

First time venturing out to The Griffin Inn, the venue itself was very nice along with the staff. The food was disappointing, I would recommend not ordering the pumpkin gnocchi, it was not pleasant or edible and had to be sent back, we ordered again but no money reduced off the bill. The atmosphere was a little loud, we could hardly hear our friends talk. Unfortunately we will not be rushing to go back to The Griffin Inn anytime soon

We went to the Griffin as part of a birthday surprise. The atmosphere was fantastic and the soft music playing in the background set it off perfectly. Service was great. The staff were friendly and really attentive. I had the Double smash burger and it did not disappoint. I have had the burger the last three times we’ve been and it really is the best burger I have had. The chocolate Torte has got to be tasted to see how good it is, it really is the best! Thanks again 😊

Perfect location for a family Sunday Lunch. Staff, Food and atmosphere were all brilliant

Great Experience liked the setting and will go back again

We went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The food and staff were excellent 👍

I have been coming here for years and was sceptical to return following the new ownership . However I have been here three times since it had its refurbishment and enjoy it more each time. The food has been 10/10 every time and the service is fantastic! The team clearly know what they are doing and I have recommended the Griffin Inn to many of my family and friends. Will be back soon !

Very nice restaurant that has clearly had some money spent on it. The surroundings are pretty fantastic. Service was very attentive and the food was also great. Wish I could have tried some more of the wines whilst I was there to get a proper feeling for the quality and pricing. Outside areas are also very nice. I bet the beer garden is packed in summer!

I booked this property months ago, just to have a rude lady calling today to say that they need to cancel because its been overbooked and the other party booked 3 rooms so they have to cancel my booking. I told her this is not acceptable as we booked for a wedding and its in 11 days her answer to me was that she is not calling to argue with me but just to let me know that they are cancelling and that they were trying to call me many times-not true. I had a message on 21st Oct from them on booking dot com, which I didn't see (i already had an email confirmation so wasn't checking, that the booking was confirmed) stating that they having some essential maintenance not that they over overbooked. So with 11 days to the wedding we are left without accommodation. I would avoid booking this place so you don't have to panic on a last minute like me now.

Great venue, food and drink offering. Not great service when the empty glasses are left on the table and I have to take them to the bar… I was even watched by a member of staff. Not sure serving 3 small pieces of meat for the Cricketers Roast is that acceptable. Not for £25… then charging for all the extras which I had anyway, wanted to try. Nice touch coming round to offer a second yorkies and potatoes. Just not sure the value for money is there. Meats were cooked lovely and the crispy cauliflower starter was awesome. £91 for 2 drinks, 2 starters, 2 roasts and 2 sides.

We visited for a friend’s birthday and what a treat ! Gorgeous surroundings and lovely food. We had a mix of starters and mains including goats cheese tart and garlic and chilli king prawns. It was a busy Friday lunch time but the manager Sammy made sure we were well looked after and helped us to make a great friends birthday a fabulous one. Great food and fab service.

We popped in to book a particular table well in advance. On the night we arrived staff seemed annoyed we requested to sit where we had pre booked. However after being advised service would be slow because of our choice of table it was in fact really good and we had a lovely time. The wait staff were lovely. Food wasn’t fabulous for the price but it wasn't bad either.

The Griffin Inn is a little gem in the most beautiful village. We went for Sunday lunch and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Firstly, the staff, although very young, were very welcoming, friendly and professional. Now the food - this was one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had. The food was hot, very tasty and they came round with extra roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. Extra gravy was brought out with the meal too. We all had roast beef which was cooked to perfection. For dessert we had the roasted peach Eton mess - again very delicious and a good portion. With a glass of wine it worked out at £42pp with a good tip, which I felt was good value for money for the quality of the food. One little criticism, please add roasted parsnips to the meal and it would be absolutely perfect!! A special mention has to go to the lovely staff. We were well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. My friend is disabled and they opened the side door onto the car park so she had easy access to the car. All the young people were very friendly and helpful and they all seemed to be really enjoying their jobs. They were well trained in being attentive but not overly so, opening a bottle of wine properly and great customer service! The ambiance is very modern in an old pub with some nice touches. The toilets were immaculate and beautifully appointed. I would definitely recommend this venue and look forward to returning on my next trip to the Midlands xx

Very poor food. Was surprised how bad it actually was and very poor value for money. The staff were all excellent and efficient but that’s no substitute for terrible food. Would never visit again or recommend to anyone.

Delicious food with lovely portion sizes Friendly staff Would have been 5 stars for atmosphere as amazing guitarist but where we sat was rather noisy. Definitely would visit again! Highly recommend

Lovely breakfast and cocktails, in beautiful surrounds, was a lovely birthday treat for a friend, the bottle of Prosecco was a lovely thought and she was thrilled. Good friend service, we really enjoyed our relaxing morning.

Great place, great food and great staff. What more could you want.

Nice setting but a bit cold even though the open fire was great to look at.

Excellent lunch great friendly staff great food & atmosphere new refurbishment can definitely recommend will be back

The food was just average and overpriced. I won't be returning.

A very pleasant evening for my husbands birthday

Lovely food, great service and easily accessible for wheelchair.

Quite pricey upmarket pub. The restaurant is noisy. Food is good, service very attentive.
