The Heathcote Arms in Blaby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Nipped in for quick pint Saturday lunch time parked the car as close as possible to the door as my wife is disabled. Sat enjoying our pint when was told to move our car because one off the locals couldn't park in there normal spot( the place was empty). If you're registered disabled I would suggest you give this place a miss.

Just a beer and ciders as we passed on our walk of around Croft Hill loop.

Friendly staff, football on the telly and reasonable prices for the booze. Can't complain at all!

Great place to relax watching the Rugby 🏉 beer excellent 👌

Great little pub in croft, the locals are very friendly and welcoming, if you fancy a drink I would definitely recommend this pub

Only got drinks here but there is a good choice of beer and a nice fire on the go by the bar.

This place could be so much more….. It’s a massive shame it doesn’t do food!!! It’s a great pub that has everything else Sports, pool table, good staff, nice garden area for the kids (although needs abit of a revamp) dog friendly but the fact there’s no food is such a let down it would be perfect for a Sunday roast or a mid week meal. Even with the fact the village lacks a cafe it’s ideal for a hot lunch. All in all it’s definitely worth a visit but wouldn’t mind visiting to have a pie and a pint. I hear it use to sell food and does put it on for certain groups but you can’t just walk in and order food anymore..

We held a family skittle event, the food was great, traditional pub food that was really yummy. The room was excellent and nice and warm. I would highly recommend this venue for a get together.

Staff were very miserable. Considering its the only pub in the village we could do with a bit more atmosphere and happier staff

Beer very good with plenty of staff serving in a clean tidy pub

Being part of the family 😏, great named pub 👌🏻.. lovely 🍻

We had a very enjoyable evening playing skittles. The food supplied was very good. A very good experience.

Called in for lunch unexpectedly staff found a table for us, very friendly good food, good value, highly recommended

Excellent skittles alley since the refurbishment.

Lovely, friendly, village pub with a lovely atmosphere. The interior is warm, cosy & stylish, and the bar boasts a great selection of draught lagers and ciders. The beer garden at the back is also fabulous. I absolutely love it here!

Top notch staff, good beer, great food and great darts!

Excellent country pub, food fabulous with lovely staff and the owner is so helpful. Highly recommended

Decent little pub with nice facilities including separate function room

Nice little village pub and lovely decor! Would visit again

Wonderful Christmas meal, excellent price too. Would highly recommend. Thank you Hannah and team.

One of the worst pubs I've been in. Cramped, beer not good. Needs a BIG makeover. I won't be returning.

PLAY AREA FOR KIDS OUT BACK.HELPFUL STAFF..

Good beer, pleasant staff & good company, what more could you want?

Very good. good atmosphere. Good beer.

We have been a few times in here and always all serves was ok but not today. My husband was refused to serve him from a nasty waitress cos not wear the mask, but has his exempt card. Please training your staff to polite with customer at least. We know our right and policy with face covering. So very disappointed and will never come back though.

Just a great place to be. Sundae desert is unbelievably good after the Sunday lunch and a few drinks.

Nice and friendly service and excellent value for money

Such a lovely welcome. Food was so lovely.

Nice quiet drink and decent service

1st time visit now the restaurant is open, booked table for 4 arrived 7pm, table set and ready, service from Hannah and her colleague could not have been more prompt. Menu not massive but all palates catered for, food well priced and delicious. Thanks again from the humorous 4

Made you feel so welcome, Lots of safety measures in place,

Lovely country venue, nice garden and play area, great quality and value food, homemade cheesecake which was delicious, very friendly staff.. highly recommended and will definitely be going there again.

Landlady has a Big Smile and Personality to Welcome... Doing a Grand Job!

Lovely, friendly country pub. Thoroughly enjoyed Sunday lunch today, very well presented and tasted yummy. Thank you 😀

Cute pub, warm open fire, sunday dinner was incredible, will definitely be returning!

lovely old fashoned pub that serves a very good pint

A very friendly pub - with a good choice of food menu. Food was freshly cooked and delicious and reasonably priced.

A lovely country pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nice food too.

Nice village pub. Some different rooms, friendly staff. Beer kept well. Well worth a look

Just wanted to thank Hannah and all the kitchen staff for our pre-Christmas meal at the Heathcote.Everyone enjoyed their food,the service was brilliant,we all had a lovely evening.We will definitely be back in 2020.Happy New Year x

Fantastic place for our Christmas party, long alley Skittles

Very nice friendly pub and good food and drink

I liked it because the service and food was brilliant

Outstanding food and a quality ran pub give it a try u won't be disappointed....

Iv always liked the heathcote for beer in the past with a lovely view on the front.. now it has lovely new owners and the place looked really nice we did not stay for Sunday lunch but it smelt amazing.. will definitely be eating there in the future.. the owner said your best to book in advance

I was really looking forward to Sunday lunch but was extremely disappointed with what I was presented with last Sunday I am not sure what potatoes and carrots swimming in butter constitutes seasonal vegitables undercooked pigs in blankets and doggie Yorkshire pudding that was burnt on top . Cheese board consisted of cheddar only fit for the mouse trap very very disappointing

Great friendly local pub. Started doing meals now and we were not disappointed. The Landlady is quite a character and very welcoming. Almost a friend now lol. Everards beers plus some guest ales. Seperate dining area although small and compact. Lots of locals and good atmosphere. A regular haunt for me.

Lovely meal, well looked after and fairly priced x

Nice setting for a party but the outside is in need of a bit of a revamp as no signage.

OMG amazing place from a quick drink to a full meal to a full party in their newly fitted bowling ally wow, you are made to feel apart of there family, a must if you are in or around croft Village

Lovely friendly staff, a very pleasant place to relax and have a drink

Friendly and fast, delicious coffee.

Nice cozy and quiet atmosphere, staff superbly polite and helpful nice menu good food

A big thank you to Hannah and her team for the amazing Mothers Day lunch we had today. The staff were very friendly, nothing was to much trouble, the food was a plenty and tasted amazing. All of the mothers received a special gift and a glass of prosecco which was a lovely surprise.

Visited the pub on a few occasions and the staff are so welcoming and friendly! Came for a meal on Valentine’s Day and it was by far the best meal I have had in a very long time! The Land Lady Hannah goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience! Came for Sunday lunch and was amazing proper homemade traditional Sunday lunch with good size portions taste delicious and great price so much for your money would highly recommend! The choice of drinks is fantastic somthing for everyone. Would recommend for family’s couples or even if your on your own your made to feel so welcome best village pub by miles!!

We came here for a Sunday roast. This is a nice cosy pub and is good as it is dog-friendly as long as you eat in the bar area. The food was very nice but the portion of the main meal was underwhelming. We were promised a huge dinner but I personally would describe it as huge. It was sufficient apart from we only got one dish of vegetables to share between 7 of us. We also ordered desserts and these took quite a while to come - I think we were forgotten about. The main & dessert however, were both very nice and tasty.

The staff are lovely. Very friendly people. However this does not cover up the lack of effort put into the disappointing gourmet facade. Sunday dinner is definitely a daylight robbery. The meat is overcooked and dry, the stuffing dry and flavourless, not to mention the lack of vegetables in a small roasting dish. The only positive was the roast potatoes, very fluffy and crisp on the outside, couldn't fault them. Gravy is too thick and lacks real flavour. The vegetarian sweet potato nut roast is simply a factory made burger patty, no real effort here. The portion sizes for what you pay are too small and not good quality for the money that you are paying. The best thing about the desserts is the icing sugar blizzard on the roof tile. Cheesecake is just entirely cream on a soggy base. The cheeseboard is outdated, another 20p or so per cheese could get some good quality cheese that doesn't leave a foul taste. The crackers that accompany the cheese were old and going soft. The decor isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, with little mottos written in white marker pen on the beams really brings it down. If you need the bathroom whilst you are there I would recommend going back home. Unfortunately couldn't take pictures of the food but attached is a picture of the toilet bin overflowing with dirty tissues which I'm sure is very hygienic (not). Staff are the only reason I would even think about going back. Overall, poor quality food, lovely staff, overpriced, and outdated.

Hannah and the team were extremely helpful in ensuring we had a great family party for my Mum's 80th. The food was excellent, really delicious, and piping hot. We had full use of the skittles room and had a great time. Can recommend as a venue for a private party.

Went here today for the first time. Three of us had Sunday Lunch. Nice cosy restaurant serving quality food at a reasonable price. Great service to. All washed down with an excellent Stout. Shall visit again.

Great staff, great food good. old English pub

Excellent the staff are very welcoming and there a fantastic bunch, also fantastic food! X

Excellent meal ,well looked after.

Excellent local pub with decent beer and friendly service.

Delightful, excellent beer, very good atmosphere for a lunchtime drink.

Loved it very friendly warm comfortable and relaxing definitely go again

Walked up the road to the local village pub for the first time in ages. Told they did food and thought give it a go. Garlic mushrooms to start and then some steak and chips. Theakstones old peculiar to wash it down. Will pop back again the next time I can't be bothered to cook.

Decent pub excellent food, improving every time I visit.

Very friendly and welcoming pub

Friendly staff and a chef who really knows how to cook. We had a delicious steak, will definitely be back.

Very cosy country pub, warm welcome and very friendly staff. The food was excellent and have to say the best Guinness I’ve had for a very long time. Thank you 😀

It is utterly fab to have a local pub and Hannah has made a huge difference from when we 1st visited in 2015. Friendly welcome, great service and well cooked homely food, loved the puddings especially the ice cream. Keep up the good work.

Lovely little place, very friendly, nice meal

I like the company here better than the pub itself but it's a nice quiet surreal country life pub with great food

Great food & a very friendly pub

Booked a table at the last minute for Sunday lunch and had a very warm welcome. All of the staff were friendly and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning.

Always a good pint of ale. But hot nachos with Chilli, Salsa and sour cream are to die for!!

Friendly atmosphere and good food

Great pub, great beers and great staff. Very welcoming atmosphere!

Just had a very tasty Sunday roast, lovely staff, very welcoming and helpful, great place. Soon to be finnished great play area for the children to play., thank you to all the staff xx

Good food nice atmosphere and helpful staff

First visit.food was really good. Starter was plentiful. I had sirloin steak as main course and it was cooked perfectly. Chips and onion rings plus mushrooms and tomatoes. Peppercorn and blue cheese sauce was deli ious. Staff very attentive. Would certainly go again.

Dog friendly. Only had a snack which was fine. Beers fine.

The food is lush and the staff are lovely!

It's ok, popular with cubs and scouts

Very nice pub and excellent beer. Very friendly patrons and good food. Play area at rear for children. Would highly recommend.

Hannah and the team are so welcoming and friendly, weather we pop up with the dogs or the kids there’s always a treat waiting! We’ve eaten here with the kids for the first time and it was fantastic the best food I’ve had in a very very long time (and I’m married to a chef so pretty hard to please) they use the best ingredients and it shows in there beautiful food! Keep it up guys your doing a fab job.

We booked a table at the last minute today, Hannah couldn't have been more accommodating with the vegetarian we had with us. The beef was beautiful and very tender, unfortunately we did not have any room for pudding. Well worth the visit.

A nice and warm local pub, has good range of drinks personally love the tiger cask they have it to a high quality!!

Such a welcoming pub with friendly staff and excellent food.

Had a lovely lunch and afternoon Surprise mother's day gift and glass of proseco to all the mum's was very much appreciated Thank you Hannah and staff at the heathcote arms

Went for lunch at 14.15 and told the kitchen had closed even though the sign outside said served food until 14.30.

popped in for sunday lunch after a lovely trek up croft hill with its views over the quarry . service was friendly and the roast for £9.95 was fantastic value the pub is split into 2 areas 1 bar with a small eating area another bar round the back with a larger dining area . we loved the fact that dogs are welcome and we could enjoy our meal with the dog will definitely visit again . best of all its very close to stanton lakes where we like to camp and tge diving school at stony cove

The Heathcote arms has now got a new landlady and the pub has a new lease of life. Four of us thought we would go and try Sunday lunch and I can tell you that we were not disappointed. 2 had pate and 2 had soup followed by 1 pork and 3 beef. If you like a proper home made Sunday lunch this is the place for you. I would recommend booking as the place was buzzing.
