So traveled up from Kent for some training and the hotel I’m staying is is definitely lacking , so I decided to explore my surroundings and found the Lancaster arms , greeted with a smile and good music , it just felt warm and homely . All in all food was great, service great and felt welcome even though I was dining on my own . Knowing the industry very well I encourage people to please make the good news just as spreadable as the bad , it makes a huge difference ! Thank you Lancaster arms , be proud …

We were a group of 14 out for our annual work Xmas meal. We were seated in the private function room which was beautifully decorated and well heated. The service at the table and the bar was very professional and the staff were very well mannered. Most of us had the festive menu with the majority having the 3 courses. We all agreed that this was probably the best Xmas meal we had been on as a group. The food was fresh, hot, served beautifully and a special mention to the chef, cooked absolutely perfectly 👌 we would definitely return.

A Sunday Carvery to Remember! I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Sunday carvery with my family, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The food was absolutely incredible—possibly the best Sunday roast I’ve ever eaten. Every element was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were divine. The lamb, in particular, stood out as an absolute highlight. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor, I can’t recommend it highly enough. A special shoutout goes to Millie, whose service truly elevated our visit. She went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of, adding such a personal touch to the experience. Her warm, attentive manner made our meal all the more enjoyable. If you’re looking for an outstanding Sunday roast, look no further. This carvery has set the bar incredibly high, and I can’t wait to return. - Emily, a very happy customer.

Wow, this was my first pub meal where I could confidently choosegluten-freee dinner and pudding! And it wasn't boring jacket potato or ice cream!! There were many GF available options throughout, and they asked me if I was coeliac, so they knew to change their equipment to be safe! We sat outside (beautiful area) they put the heater on our area before our arrival to make sure it was warm, how lovely is that! I was super happy, and I absolutely demolished my food, and the creme brulee was amazing! I will be returning very soon!

Myself and my team of travel agent ladies spent a lovely evening at The Lancaster Arms tonight. The pub has been improved over the last few years by the current owners and it’s now a very welcoming, cosy pub with gorgeous outside seating areas. We had the fish pie, the handmade faggots and the special of Duck. The food was amazing, we all enjoyed each dish and the portions were generous. It was a Wednesday night so quiet but that made it feel all the more special as we had the best table and lots of attention from Millie our waitress who was lovely, she was so friendly, really enthusiastic about the food options and swapped ice cream for custard for our desserts. We would recommend The Lancaster Arms to anyone looking for a lovely meal out in lovely surroundings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We recently visited the Lancaster Arms for their Sunday Lunch Sharing Board, and I cannot fault the food. It was delicious, hot, fresh, and served promptly. My husband and I left with full, satisfied bellies, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the food to anyone. However, our experience was let down by the unfortunate placement of our table. We were seated between the kitchen and the staff desk, which seemed to be a hub of constant activity. A steady stream of young waiters darted back and forth, and at times, 5 or 6 of them stood or sat chatting and drinking within arm’s reach of our table. The lively atmosphere made it hard to relax and fully enjoy what should have been a leisurely Sunday lunch. Had we been tucked into a quieter corner, I imagine it would have been an entirely different experience. The food was fantastic, but the seating arrangement really detracted from the overall enjoyment. If you visit, I’d recommend requesting a more tucked-away table to make the most of this otherwise wonderful venue.

I've been twice so far, once for Sunday roast, and once for an evening meal. Both times have been amazing experiences, inside the restaurant and using their delightful tiki huts ( I thoroughly recommend these for groups of 6 to dine or 8 to drink, they don't even charge for the use of them, just a deposit) The food is incredible, every mouthful was a delight, with good portions that leave with enough room to push yourself a dessert. Even in the tiki hut, which on a cold night is well heated and supplied with blankets the staff were attentive, coming out in coats to bring food and drinks, checking on us for comfort and meal checks. I thoroughly recommend and we were already planning our next return before leaving.

Nope. Having a laugh. Staff friendly. Great with allergies. But the prices...just simply ridiculous. I get things have gone up. I understand that. But for a roast it's £23.95 for 2 thin slices of meat, 1 yorkshire, unlimited (reheated) roasties, unlimited cabbage & peas plus gravy. And then if you wanted 2 cauliflower cheese florets it was £5, 2 stuffing balls was £5 and an extra yorkshire for £2.95. Goodness me. No. Only because we were with friends did we stay. Head to Gelsmoor at Griffydam for £16.95 you get it all on your plate and it tastes phenomenal.

My husband and I went to The Lancaster Arms for a Sunday lunch. We both ordered the turkey. It came on a Sharing board with green veg, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and gravy. We also ordered some sides, red Leicester mash, honey roast carrots and cauliflower cheese, Everything was cooked beautifully and was so tasty, the roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside and tasted so good we finished them quickly and were bought another portion included in the price! I would definitely recommend the red Leicester mash as an extra. The staff were fab too, we were served by Millie who was lovely and looked after us well. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and a great red wine selection. We will definitely be back!

This has to be one of the best Sunday roasts in Leicestershire! The service is fantastic and very attentive from all the staff and focused on giving the best service and experience possible. The food was amazing, nothing we could fault, the sharing board worked well with a couple of additional sides, but personal preference, the sharing board is more than enough. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere and the patio area is great for a drink after dinner. This was our first time visiting for a number of years but we'll definitely be returning with friends and family.

First visit to the Lancaster . nice place and surroundings . we ordered a sharing platter with beef and lamb, food came very quick which isn’t a good sign but nicely presented and looked great, we soon realised some of the items were more fresh than others. the beef was awful (a cheap cut) and certainly not sirloin as advertised on menu, blood rare but really tough and we couldn’t cut it, the lamb was a bit better but very tough also . roast potatoes were solid and possibly could’ve been a couple of days old .yorkshire puddings were not fresh, the carrots were nice though! and Staff were pleasant. I’m not sure if we were unlucky but it felt like we were served leftovers. very disappointing for the price.

WE had an amazing Sunday Sharing meal here last Sunday for my daughters 30th Birthday. We reserved the private dining area so that the little ones could run around safely and without bothering everyone else. It was a boiling day but the room was soooo cool inside. We are able to get there earlier to decorate and had plenty of space and tables for the cake and decorations. Karen was our server and made sure we understood how it all worked and answered any questions we had. She was in and out during the whole meal to make sure we had everything we needed. The bar was just outside the room so really easy to get to and purchase our drinks individually which helped with the bill at the end. The way they do their sharing menu meant that there was plenty of food to be had for everyone and was quite refreshing to be able to choose what and how much you wanted without making additional orders/charges. The food itself was delicious and everyone really enjoyed it. It felt like a massive feast. We asked if we could bring our own cake as it had be specially made and they were absolutely fine with it as we also bought our own knife and napkins for it. Karen even put a lighter in the room so we could use it for the candles. I would definitely return for a normal meal here as the gardens were so inviting. We are also booking for our next special birthday celebration as we were so impressed . So a big Thankyou to all the staff at the Lancaster Arms

So very sorry but after eating brunch with friends 20/7/24 our grilled breakfast was very disappointing compared to our other visits. Our bacon was hit/ miss whereas crispy then undercooked which wasn't nice. Previously we have had 2 x bubble/ squeak delicious squares, we received a tiny one hidden away and all was overwhelmed by a large pot of beans. My husband agreed that our mushroom tasted ' odd' .I asked for a medium egg as opposed to 'sunny side up' and had to return but still not medium when refreshed. Tomatoes/ bread good, sausages were acceptable but didn't appear to be as good a quality as previously visited, feedback would be good as it could just be my taste buds... Chelsea was so lovely and friendly, Ian and Anya surpass themselves with providing top quality ingredients and food usually,and they are wonderful people who work so very hard to give the best service possible! A wedding was booked for 1pm in the gazebo area and we vacated to the lovely garden area at 12.45 , I would like to think Chef was under pressure due to this, even so, not our problem and didn't really enjoy our brunch, average and not WOW! Which we expect from the Lancaster given we spent over 100.00 for brunch, we expect more...so sorry Guys 😘😘😘

We went on our friends' recommendation. We were shown to a table in a corner so dark (it was still light outside) that I had to use my phone light to even read the menu. Service was swift and three of us ordered starters. As there was only one set of cutlery per person, the server returned to the table, threw three extra lots of cutlery onto the middle of the table with "Help yourself". Our starters, we all had the prawn cocktail, was different and very good. My wife and I chose the beef strogonoff advertised as strips of fillet steak with mashed potato and asparagus. I asked if I could have rice, as is normal wit this dish, to be informed "we don't do rice", The food duly arrived and I was somewhat surprised at the small portions. The steak was tough and some of it inedible although we did manage to chomp our way through most of it. I have eaten this dish, and cooked it myself many times, and this was definitely not fillet steak. The accompanying asparagus consisted of one stalk cut in half! At £20 each, a real rip off. Having commented on the quality of the steak, we were offered one free sweet although two of us had suffered. By this stage, our friends were hugely embarrassed at our treatment and it was they who complained. The sweets were also accompanied by the throwing of the dessert spoons onto the middle of the table with thee usual "help yourself"

Really friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate us - I’m very tall and I was struggling to fit my legs under a table with a ‘lip’. No problem - found us another table. The food was excellent and the best Sunday lunch we’ve had in years. Afterwards we had some drinks in the garden which is lovely. Cannot wait to go back again!

We went for Sunday lunch today, and got the sirloin, and the turkey they were running off menu! We also added the Red Leicester mash, stuffing and cauliflower cheese, and all the food was phenomenal! The sharing board could have easily satisfied 4, but the 2 of us managed to push through it, much to me jeans protests, we even got offered top ups on the gravy, veg and gorgeous roasties! I highly recommend booking this! For the sharing platter, 3 x sides, 2 beers, Pepsi, and 2 x chefs cheesecakes (which we took home) it was just under £80!!!! Bargain!!! Karen who served us was a dream and very attentive, as well as all the other wait staff. We will be back!!!

We had our wedding meal and evening drinks at the Lancaster Arms in February 2024. From the first communication with Ian and Sharon, they were both extremely helpful and accomodating of our requests. We all felt very welcome and relaxed in the private dining room during the day and they were kind enough to reserve some tables in the bar for the evening. The food was delicious and all of our guests commented on the high quality of food and presentation, served by very attentive staff. We would highly recommend the Lancaster Arms for any occasion, especially the private dining room as having our own space was ideal for our wedding day. Thank you to all of the staff that made our day special, we are looking forward to using the lovely garden in the summer too!

Great food. We always come here for their sharing roast dinners which are such a treat and very generous servings!

We came as had heard good things about the food, it was super quiet in there so we got a table fast but the service and wait for the food was a long time. We both ordered burgers, and would say they where basic especially the beef burger, it was that big it was hard to eat making the meat pretty dry and for the price we left unimpressed. The service was sub par but the waitress still mentioned the option to tip but didn't even ask how the meal was. I would say it was overall lacking and the price was too much for what we where served

Unfortunately this didn't live up to expectations had prawn linguine which was very bland no taste, my partner had the pie and was dry, was disappointed as heard good things about this place, wouldn’t return waste of money! Did tell waitress that food weren’t great but she didn’t seem bothered 🤷🏻♀️

My Husband and I went for Sunday roast in the evening. We found it a wonderful experience. The food was served very quickly on hot plates and the platter of roasted meats (beef, turkey and pork) and a selection of vegetables were amazing, hot and succulent. We shared a pudding tiramisu which was delicious. We will be back. Thank you

im going to be honest here and just say it as it is, this is the most expensive carvery ever, they put a twist on it with table service but its still a carvery, and there is nothing wrong with that but for the price £22 for a sirloin, you get one piece, not a steak, more a thick bacon rasher slither, £16 for basically one pork chop, for these prices when you leave you should have a good feeling for what you just ate, but its a carvery, unless you are from mars its impossible to do a bad carvery, and the lancaster arms does a decent carvery but the prices are crazy for the meat, i go to a local award winning butcher and i get 4 sirloin steaks for what i paid for a 2mm thick slice, so will i go back, sadly no because the £9 local all you can eat carvery is exactly the same and i dont need a loan to pay for it. also dont forget either that the only unlimited is the veg and roasties, mash and all other sides are £4.50 each and you dont get much for that

Food was cold all aspects of it meat pots and veg. It was served on a cold board potatoes where dry and hard, vegetables where un glazed and gravy tasted like a powdered bisto i ordered a side of cauliflower cheese thinking it would be nice and hot but it was the same cold as the potatoes, we asked a waitress to exchange the roast potatoes for new hot ones which she did willingly and she informed us that they are stored under hot lamps in service so the longer they sit the colder and harder they become. It wouldn't take much for this to be a fantastic roast I would love to see it get better and go again bit as it stands I will be looking for another venue for our Sunday roast sorry..... all the waiting staff where amazing and super helpfull and welcoming couldn't ask for better service, they also apologised many times regarding the cold.food and even offered us a concession, we declined this and still left a tip i Hope the review helps sorry its not more stars 🤷♂️

I would not recommend the Sunday board. The potatoes were hard, dry. Possibly through being left in the warmer. The sirloin is basically one thin slice of beef 3mm thick max. The veg was OK. Gravy is tasty but thin. The only thing I genuinely thought was outstanding was the Yorkshire pudding. The crumble was very poor .. it was more like saw dust. Staff were very welcoming, but sadly, I wouldn't recommend this place for food. It's a shame because it is a lovely spot

We had the gammon and the Mac and cheese for mains, and for dessert we had sticky toffee pudding and the brownie all was great. Service was great from both waitresses! Food was absolutely delicious, both the main and the dessert. Would definitely recommend!

Disappointed is not the word, took my family here for the first time today for my wife’s birthday, we had the mixed red meat sharing board at 22£ per person. 1 slice of beef each and 2 small pieces of lamb, both were very dry, mixed medley of greens which were ok ish, the roast potatoes were very over done to the point where they were hard to cut, everything was cold including the watery gravy. Ordered a side of cauliflower cheese and again was cold and hard to cut so we left it. We left very dissatisfied and unfortunately will not be returning. A shame really because it was recommended.
