The Lime Tree Inn in Blaby

Decent Christmas meal, good value, good beer, excellent steak

Outstanding customer service from Izzy Extremely Friendly A True Inspiration For Fellow Colleagues, Very Polite, And Always Smiling, Quality And Taste Of The Food Was Amazing. Faultless. Keep Up The Hard Work.

An exceptional experience from the moment we booked over the phone to the moment we drove away. Fast , efficient and professional service.Izzy was our waitress who was an absolute pleasure and nothing was too much trouble and going the extra mile to accommodate our dietary requirement's was something that came naturally to Izzy. This is very rare these days and made our experience all the more enjoyable and was communicated in an organized and professional way to the chef. Well done Izzy and Thankyou.

From start to finish we had the best time, the park next to us were very loud but we did know and decided it wasn’t Such a problem The meal was different and a very pleasant change. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. We were attended by Izzie, who was a delight and made us feel very comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and always had a smile

Lovely cosy pub to meet friends. Staff are very polite and welcoming. Love this pub for drinks or for food! Always a good vibe!

Great food, great service, always friendly staff. Its my favourite place to go out for either food or just a couple of relaxed drinks

Izzy was a pleasure to be served by , great sense of humour , not as funny as me but sh lol he there . Lovely day

Izzy was wonderful! She dealt with us with humour and made for a great experience. Food was great. A lovely Sunday.

Always a lovely evening at the Limetree , Food was fab and our waitress Izzy was great in making sure we always had everything we needed , such great service ! ☺️

We were at a ‘tapas and cocktail’ evening. Staff were very good. Happy and helpful. Food was hot and very tasty.

Went for lunch with 2 friends - ecxellent

Always guaranteed a good meal at the Lime Tree! Plenty to choose off the menu and we love when they introduce the special menu over the weekends. Plenty of space inside and outside, our dogs love joining on a Sunday for the carvery.

The restaurant was way too hot. It was uncomfortable. The food was awful. Frozen, dry roast potatoes. The cauluflower cheese was just mush. Rest of vegetables were not cooked enough. Would not return.

Came for a meal here, excellent service food didn’t take long and was great. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Excellent service and food everytime we have visited.highly recommend it.

First time at the Lime Tree for food. It was excellent. Ellie answered my strange question, about one of the dishes. It was great service and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Fab carvery and a friendly welcome. Definitely recommend.

Really terrible experience,Went out for a few drinks with friends they refused to serve shots at all due to “fights” then the bar got shut off at 10:30pm but a woman who “worked” for the lime tree who wasn’t wearing uniform and was clearly not working that night got served Once I asked why someone gets served and no one else does the woman wearing all black and clearly a manager said it’s okay. The woman who was staff got 2 pints of cider (After closing the bar) which was for her and her friend who also wasn’t working so this is clearly unfair and unacceptable in my opinion If you want to come here for a good time with friends I would not go at all go to a pub that actually serves drinks

Amazing service! Great atmosphere! Delicious food! I’m vegan and the options were fab and tasted great!

Upon arrival was greeted and was given a choice of 3 tables, the waitress was attentive and very polite and lovely, the food was great and the pudding was delish, in fact too much I couldn’t eat it all. Would definitely recommend.

Well lovely place great food good service ,even when there were very busy food did not take long to come 😉 staff very friendly ,made a good night out would highly recommend this pub well done

Great food..really tasty and portions are good. Service was spot on by Izzy and also at the bar afterwards. The staff who work at The Lime Tree are a well oiled machine,working together to create a good atomosphere inside and outside.

Large group of 10 inc 4 young children. Food was great quality and even the kids cleared their plates. Staff were all polite, friendly and attentive considering how busy it was for Sunday lunch.

Lovely pub, fantastic staff and service from the staff and very reasonable food.

Lovely pub with a massive beer garden and very attentive staff, would definitely recommend

Ellie looked after us extremely well, we had a lovely meal and will return

Awful service, from wrong drinks to wrong meal. In their opinion a completely plain steak is plastered in peppercorns and dripping in a garlic sauce. When I pointed this out and asked them to change it they agreed but only if I paid for a new steak!! Will never set foot in this place again.

Lovely family pub. Huge amount of seating indoors and outdoors. Great kids play area, plus bouncy castle for the kids. Great food, really attentive service. Wish this pub was nearer where I lived!

Go here whenever the sun's out. Great garden for the kids. Outside bar. Unreal food. Great pub

Been there a few times for lunch & always enjoy it. I marked down stars for the atmosphere because to be fair, it was a cold ,wet, miserable summer day & there wasn't many customers. Though it has a great garden & play area for kids & undercover patio for those that smoke, I would suggest they either empty ashtrays more or at least have a bin in the area so customers can do it themselves. Nothing more revolting than full ashtrays.

Friendly staff and good prices. Thank you to our server Erin

We came out for something to eat at The Lime Tree... normally the food is good here but on this occasion I was very disappointed. I ordered a Steak & Stilton Salad and my partner had your loaded fries. The loaded fries she couldn't fault but the steak you used in the salad was of very poor quality, full of gristle. The steak was cooked to how I wanted and well seasoned but like I said the quality let this down so it put me off eating the salad. Your staff didn't even ask if everything was OK as the amount of food that I left should have been an indication that I wasn't satisfied with it. Your puddings need a little TLC too its like you put all your efforts in the mains but the puddings are just chucked together with no care and after all your customers are paying a good amount of cash for these puddings. I hate having to put this bad review on but as a food critic you clearly failed on this visit.

Overall a nice experience at The Lime Tree Inn. Wide range of drinks and a good food offering. Staff are particularly friendly chatting to customers whether you're a regular or not. Excellent outdoor spaces on the patio and wider garden. There always seems to be kids activities in the summer/ on bank holidays as well. If I'm being really critical I would say the food is slightly pricey on the main menu but also previously had the roast which was well worth it! Parking can be awkward as it's clearly a popular venue!

Yeah we like the lime tree. Long live make your own wraps on the menu

Had a family meal here, food was excellent, service was good even though it was really busy. Only negative was that the car park was full but found Street parking nearby.

Fantastic first trip to the Lime Tree for my Stag do... We recieved memorable hospitality from Izzy, her knowledge of the internal structural layout of the pub is unmatched and she also happened to be able to put up with my over 9000 level indecision... I have been training for years and yet she still defeated it with ease using her upgraded humour armour. Unbelievable scenes! Great experience, lovely building, modern interior, full menu and lots of patience and banter from the staff especially Izzy, who made the experience so much more memorable. Would recommend pizza! Would visit again on a heart beat.

Izzy was great. Made the whole evening really fun and enjoyable. Great banter and philosophy.

Excellent menu - could have chosen several lovely main courses. Both our meals were well presented and very tasty. All staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Will definitely return!

Great food ,lovely lunch which was Yorkshire pudding feast

Had 5* experience at Lime Tree for Sunday lunch, we had a Carvery which was very good, as one of our group was in a wheelchair I cannot praise the staff in all departments enough, went out their way to make sure everything was OK. Many Thanks. Clive

Excellent service and food. To make thing even better, you're now dog friendly. Thank you. 😃

Very good food, and fairly priced

Excellent place , the food quality VS the pricing is incredible, we will be back for sure !

Was genuinely shocked at how good the food was for the price, and the portion sizes were excellent. Will definitely be coming back soon

Awesome place loved by our son who was 32 months old when we’ve been there last month. Thanks to the good weather we could sit right in front of the play area where we enjoyed lovely food. They also have a children menu, I’ve had the “mini” cod and chips (available in the midweek lunch menu) but the portion would have been an average one in any other place. Great value for money, friendly service, we’ll definitely be back if driving again through that area.

Another lovely meal at The Lime Tree. Steak was perfectly cooked and biscoff sundae rounded the meal off. Lovely service from Rosie. Thanks for looking after us

Great summer location for family with excellent outdoor facilities. First class celiac menu. Vibrant and attentive staff.

Izzy was was very sociable and patient food atmosphere was fantastic.

Amazing as always, very friendly staff, nothing is ever to much and the food is always spot on!! Thanks all

Had excellent service here during a recent event. Bar staff were very attentive and helpful.

Jack was excellent! Made us feel right at home

First time for lunch since revamp. Excellent food with menu for everyone. Staff were helpful and friendly. Enjoyable experience.

We use the Lime tree at least 2 times a month We have been very disappointed the last 2 or 3 weeks, we went again thinking it was a blip But no! Definitely not going again

Great Meal last Saturday with The Family Was Served By Lauren Was Very Attentive Always Had A Smile On Her Face Couldn’t Do Enough For Us,A Credit To The Lime Tree Should Be Given A Pay Rise Made Us Very Welcome

Nice place to eat, staff brilliant paticularly Izi. Prices are good, can get very busy at the weekends.

Very small portion size for price. Well presented but not a main meal. Restaurant cold, unheated and lacking atmosphere. Service great, but food and unheated restaurant not. Had to eat elsewhere afterwards, which is not as expected.

Great food, friendly and brilliant play area for kids

The new summer menu is really good. Extensive free from menu. Really busy when we ate but service was brilliant and staff are so friendly. Definitely would recommend and eat here again.

Amazing food and atmosphere, Daisy was very attentive and polite! Thankyou

Came for my birthday and had a great evening staff member amber was superb!

Great food I loved the carvery friendly staff nothing is to much trouble for them

Good quality food at reasonable prices.

Ordered cheese and bacon burgers food was delivered to our table 5 minutes after ordering and was cold how can food be cooked that quick no serviettes with cutlery and staff not even bothered to ask if everything was ok. Very disappointed and will not be going back.

Had mini yorkies with pulled beef ...lovely 😋

the staff are all really friendly and welcoming and the food was really tasty. i had a really nice time here :)

I really like this place after the refurbishment. Beer is good and the lunch menu is nice. Nice friendly staff

All round had a excellent experience at the lime tree will visit again.

Had a family get together for my nephews birthday lovely place and food and a pleasant atmosphere.

I love this place, great food and atmosphere. My burger did have chilli jam in it though and I did not see that on the menu. This was not an issue for me however my brother did not like this addition. I ordered the Camembert Burger and he got the Bacon Chicken Burger. (The picture is their Camembert Burger).

Food was fabulous! Great service!

Great food. Simple tasty and good value for money. Nice staff. Lovely surroundings and very well presented.

Had a lovely lunch today 3/4/2023 for mums birthday food and staff 100% mum was given a peice of cheese cake with Happy birthday on the plate.

What a great place! Every member of staff we spoke to was lovely. Food was delicious, especially the crumble and custard!! Sonmanybdishesbwe wanted, we will 100% be back!

Working away on business and came across this pub/ restaurant. I would highly recommend paying a visit as the food was delicious and excellent value for money. Portions were a good size. A massive shout out to Shannon the waitress who made us feel very welcome ,very professional .Will definitely return if I'm ever in the area .

Quaint English Pub. Very good food and at a good price, there is little to say about drinking Guinness for life. Good service, the only thing is that orders are placed at the house and not at the table, local customs, I don't know. Worth a try when I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Lime Tree pub and was blown away by the exceptional service and atmosphere provided by their amazing team. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel right at home. What sets The Lime Tree apart from other pubs is their dedication to providing top-notch service. The team here goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer has a memorable experience. They push past any barriers to deliver magnificent service, making you feel like a valued guest at all times. Not only is the service outstanding, but the pub itself has also undergone a stunning refurbishment that has truly elevated it to a whole new level. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and exudes a sense of sophistication. It is clear that a lot of thought and care has been put into creating a space that is both stylish and comfortable. But the true highlight of my visit was the food. The Lime Tree is now a destination for gastronomic sensations. The menu offers a variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I was impressed by the attention to detail in presentation and the use of fresh, quality ingredients. Every dish I tried was a true delight for the taste buds. I must also mention the selection of drinks at The Lime Tree. Whether you're in the mood for a craft beer, a glass of wine, or a perfectly mixed cocktail, their bar staff will not disappoint. They are knowledgeable and passionate about their drinks, and are more than happy to make recommendations based on your preferences. Overall, I cannot praise The Lime Tree and its team enough. They are truly 5 stars and deserve a special mention for their outstanding service, stunning refurbishment, and mouthwatering food. The Lime Tree is no longer just a pub, but a destination for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gastronomic sensation and a great pub atmosphere.

Lauren our waitress, was the smiliest, happiest, friendliest waitress in South Leicestershire..

We had a lovely meal here from the lunch menu. Fantastic value for money. The place has been refurbished looks great. We had our baby in a high chair and staff were really helpful and attentive. Even bringing extra plates etc for us to put her food on.

We had booked for a table of 5 in the restaurant NO booking was found so we had to eat in the bar the food took ages to arrive one of the meals a mixed grill was crammed on to a plate the other meals were just warm they were also served covered in extra salt No way will we eat here again

8 of us for dinner & was served red hot 🔥 food wonderful

Seabass with samphire was brilliant Something on the menu for everyone Huge kids area outside Couldn't fault the veggie options either defo recommend 👌

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely day! Big thanks Erin and Katie for the service greatttt stuff!

Lovely meal and even though busy not too long to wait for our order

First time visiting... Will return. Food was great quality. Lovely service. Nice setting.

Alfie would have liked more kinda in his cookie dough

We had a family get together. Warm welcome to this clean atmospheric establishment. Knowledeable attentive staff who ensured all needs were met. The menu was comprehensive. The food was excellent and served with pride. An excellent visit marred only by the play area not being available due to needing a H and S check - this was one of the reasons we chose the Lime Tree. Word of warning - if parking in the small car park DO NOT TURN RIGHT WHEN EXITING AS VEHICLES SPEED OFF THE NEARBY ROUNDABOUT WITH INDICATING. VERY VERY CLOSE TO BE T BONED. Management need to consider closing this car park.

amazing music, service and food.

Brilliant food, and the service is fantastic!

We love The Lime Tree and come often, we had to come back after the refurb to sample some MORE delicious food, the only problem was... we ate too much!!

Our first visit since the refurbishment and the food is still as good as ever! Well done to the team, we will be back. Only reason for a 3 on atmosphere was it on a Monday night at the end of the month as and we were the only people dining!

The second time that the Yorkshire Puddings have been soggy and chewy. The acoustics are such that it can be noisy but that is a minor niggle. Otherwise excellent all round and thanks to Izzy who looked after us so well.

Just been refurbished and done very nicely. We had the Sunday carvery, which was excellent. Great service from Amber, very polite and attentive even though she was always busy. She never seemed to stop taking orders, bringing out food, clearing away, etc. Diamond.

The bar has had a makeover. But Eat in the restaurant if possible. Izzy was our waitress she very welcoming
