The Man at Arms in Harborough

Very poor service,90 year old lady was asked to walk outside and go round because she couldn’t get up the step to be seated, service was good but food wasn’t , never again will I go

The food choices are better than I thought they would be. Food is cooked to perfection. Special offers are great value but not had one yet. So impressed I've booked to go there christmas day

Tasty steak and a nice bottle of red. Friendly, helpful staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, a very enjoyable evening.

Such a lovely evening here. Splendid evening at the quiz with George!

We had a great time visiting the man at arms the food was realy good and quick to arrive however when ordering at the bar Bradley was so rude to us the way he spoke to us will definetley but use off returning and is attitude is absaloutley disgusting. Based of the reviews it seems like I’m not the only one who has encountered this before. Such a shame to ruin what could have been an amazing visit . Will not return at all.

We visited Sunday 13 th October,we love coming to the pub as the food is fantastic... the down side to our vist was the member of staff behind the bar called Bradley. He definitely needs customer service training as his attitude is extremely rude,this isnt the first time we have had this issue as its happened on previous occasions.Hayden was brilliant and very welcoming and answered any questions we had. Hayden is a credit to your team.

Great prices and love the steak offers. Nice friendly staff. Gets very busy not surprisingly as good value.

Food & service was excellent Booked a table for 7.30 on a Saturday It was bizzy but not over crowded! We will be going back

Disappointing experience. Me and my family were looking forward to a meal out but it wasn’t the experience we hoped. I went up to the bar to order with my dad, who ordered some alcoholic drinks. I was very abruptly and quite sharply asked to present my ID. I never have an issue showing ID, this is a legal requirement. My issue was the manner in which I was spoken to. The manager was demanding and rude, he even put his hand in front of my face for my ID as I was trying to present it. It made me feel incredible uncomfortable. After this I just wanted to leave and it ruined our evening.

We have visited the Man at Arms many times and had great meals there. We chose to take our daughters here for a family meal. The manager was rude in demanding to see our daughters ID before serving drinks.. whilst I have no problem in being asked for ID the manner in which it was done was rude. It has been a cold evening and to make a bad night worse, the manager chose to open the door and windows making an already cold interior even colder.. it was only 9pm .. on a Friday evening… so not sure why this was necessary.. we left… sadly neither of my daughters want to go back and have asked us not to book for our family Christmas meal there.

Lovely pub, the food is always good here. Staff are polite,hardworking and efficient.

I had the brisket of beef, good heavens what a superb serving 👌 👏 loads of gravy, meat, mash and green beans 🥰

Steak was very chewy and chips undercooked. Garlic bread was burnt but onion rings were nice tbh. £25.00 deal with a bottle of wine is good value with a tweak in quality

Visited for lunch today after playing petanque at Wycliff Bowls club with group of 20 friends, they reserved the front of bar area for us, took orders and delivered meals super quick and very tasty. A few of the group hadn't been to a King Henry Tavern before and were amazed at the quality and value of their "All day everyday" deals. Special thanks to Sam for making us so welcome

Lovely 10oz rump cooked how I like it. The price was really great.

We only went to the Man at arms by chance as we were going somewhere else, we are so glad that we stopped here, the food was incredible, we had such a great night, and the food was good value for money, so very happy we went. Thank you ☺️

5 of us came here and the food was beautiful and would highly recommend don't drive past this place

Great value and lovely staff....well done all

Food ok, service ok, we were quite a large group and the staff were quite accommodating (we had phoned in advance). Simply put it does the job nothing more

We eat here every week after a busy day working and taking the kids cheerleading in Lutterworth. Bradley is usually front of house giving us a warm welcome and suggests different dishes we otherwise wouldn't think of. Bradley and the rest of the staff have been so warm and friendly - which is one of the main reasons we keep returning. The food is such good value for money and there's such a huge variety. In the last 3 months I have planned 2 suprise birthday cakes for friends with the help of Brad. Lovely village pub, friendly, great staff, great food. * Recommended the 2 steaks and wine offer - it's stunning and an absolute bargain! 🥩 🍷 We will be back next week again... 🥂☀️

Came today at lunch 12 of us had birthday meal great food hot all got on time great stk pie puddings great staff quickly served

Have frequented this pub for many years. Lovely location with incredible reasonable food. We went for a meal to celebrate as a family however it was ruined from the outset by the incredibly rude barman Bradley. I’ve never faced a front of house with such attitude or so rude. Unfortunately too the food has become average and much smaller portions. It’s such a shame this used to be such a standout pub. Will not be returning based on this experience!

Great food, great service, and very reasonable prices.

Good food, great pint what more can you ask for..

The food was above average. But can honestly say The Man behind the bar with the black earring. Is the rudest person I've ever come across in the industry. And the way he talks to people, I'm surprised he has any customers .Will not be going back just because of him. Zero Stars

Tucked away in a quiet village between lutterworth and Nuneaton this pub has been serving huge top notch steaks since the 80s. Something of a local legend it's as good today as it's always been. Great food and drink with a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Well worth the trip. Oh and there's plenty of parking too

Food was ok. But table next to me had dog on the chair.

Excellent place to eat and drink. The menu is varied and very well priced, the portions are more than generous and staff are really friendly. We have been a few times now and will return again.

The food was excellent, the best pub food I've had in a long time. Service was great. I can't make a fair comment regarding atmosphere because we were there mid afternoon when it was very quiet, but everything was clean and fresh.

Well I've been coming here for 30 yrs and it was the best place for a meal until Thursday 11th July. What a shock food was disgusting I order myself and mrs a fillet steak no salad chips where over cooked and tasted of dirty .steak was absolutely rank .my mum left her gammon and chips as it was over cooked and tasted of dish washer detergent my father was absolutely disgusted .I felt awkward because I said this was one of the best .well I will never come here again .what a shame ......if could give it a score of -5 stars I would

Stopped off on a bike ride for a cold drink unfortunately all glasses had remnants of dishwashing liquid and made the drinks taste terrible. Outside tables were in car parking spaces at the back of the pub so not really a nice space to sit. Such a shame. Can't really comment on food etc as we didn't stay long.

This is a strange review for me, as I last visited about 10 years ago, where it'd have received top marks. I advised my wife to come here as she'd never been. We booked our table for 6.30pm. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and upon arrival were greeted and shown to our table. I chose a King Henry 32oZ rare rump steak, my partner ordered an 8oZ rare rump. We ordered a starter selection of three dishes also. On ordering at the bar we weren't offered any sauces for our steaks, we didn't realise until the meals turned up we'd missed this option. Starter Battered Hallumi fries Battered Shrimp Deep fried salt and pepper chicken It was nice. Came with a sweet chilli dip for each, though something that could have been bought from Iceland and put in the oven. Mains The meal initially looked great. Though after a minute or two it became apparent we were both embarrassed to say it was awful. It was a special date night, I'd advised the place as high standard, and we were at a point of no return. The steak meat was cheap. Us and the table next to us were all trying to work out how the meat had been prepped. It was the texture of tinned corned beef. Fell to pieces, but not in a good way. It looked swollen, as if sat in water to up the weight. The chips were huge, but overly deep fried so were hard and tasted of oil. I wanted to go away feeling satisfied. Instead, we left saying, we won't return again. Two meals, two 0% Heinekens, one diet Pepsi, £65.

Meals looked really lovely, however we were bombarded with flies landing on our meals so couldn't eat them one dead one on my husband's plate. And this was indoors. Shame as been before and really enjoyed our food.

This was the 1st back in about 10 years as it went downhill, but it was back to it's high standards if not better.. the food was lovely and very good value.. We will be going back.!

Really class in the middle of a small village food lovely Staffel freindly

Went for the 1st time and the meal was great,staff are friendly and polite,loved the steak guys.coming bk friday for another

Arguably the best steak in Leicestershire, reasonable price, free car park, staff were friendly and great service, steak med-rare melted in your mouth 10/10. Very nice pub.

Great pub. drinks and food is great and nicely priced would come again

I don't recommend coming in here for a bite at lunch, ordered very simple meals that took a very long time to arrive at our table. If you've got a lot of time to sit and wait, it's probably worth it but service is very slow here.

Wonderful atmosphere, plenty of parking, clean & tidy, food was absolutely gorgeous, great value for money, wonderful service, place was busy but food was piping hot & delivery to the table was so quick after ordering!! Could not fault a single thing. Thank you to all the staff for a very pleasant time.

Nice pub with very reasonably priced food and drinks. No complaints at all.

Visited pub today for lunch with family. Service was excellent, food arrived quickly. Definitely will come back. Highly recommended.

Always had decent food when visiting here.

Lovely pub, great to visit and although we were lucky they had a table would recommend booking as they were busy! Food was lovely, staff friendly & helpful. Only downside was we sat right next to the fire which was really pretty but too warm on a sunny day.

T bone was tough. My mixed grill meats were not enjoyable...wet rather than succulent, very disappointing.

Sorry,I hate leaving poor reviews but our visit today just wasn't as good as I recall it used to be. Didn't bother staying for dessert. Staff were great though, food was average at best and certainly not all of it was freshly cooked.

We turned up early evening without having a table booked, and we managed to have a small table brought into service. The food was brought out in a timely fashion and was beautifully cooked. Real fire warming the place really well adding to a lovely atmosphere.

A nice pub in a quiet little village, I had a mixed grill and a pint, the food was tasty and good value, a nice selection of beers and meals. Dog friendly with a section of the bar that you can take your dog. Staff were really polite and helpful Thoroughly enjoyed my meal, definitely recommended.

Good value lunchtime menu with a good range of choices. Staff friendly.

Great atmosphere and food was amazing. Honestly one of the best pubs I was in recently ❤️❤️

My mother had cottage pie from the lunchtime menu and was happy with meal and price. The 1 star is for my chicken fajitas, or should I say "peppers" fajitas. There was virtually no chicken on the sizzler, at £15 I was very disappointed, especially as I'd just trimmed 1.8kg of grade A chicken breast, knowing very well the price of chicken. I also ordered a side of boiled potatoes, I got 4 which was fine, but 3 of them were covered in bad bits, I should've sent them straight back but I didn't want to ruin my mothers day. She then did complain and showed the evidence and the waitress said "I'll tell the chef". Probably just an off meal, but I'm reviewing my experience. Shame.

My friends a had booked for birthday and reserved a table, only when we arrived did a very rude waiter turned and said we have sat people on your table so you will sit here my friend went to say something to him and he said sit down there and walked away .very sad .instead of saying there go ladies he was total out order shame because the food was very good. I think he needs training on how to speak to customers.

Normally visit here once or twice a month until 2 weeks ago kinda spoilt it for us where my partner had a long black hair in his food, I went to bar had to wait abit as no bar staff out the front when I managed to catch one of their attention he came over took the food away to replace it offered to put mine under the lamp to keep it warm but I didn't want my steak to dry out which he agreed couldn't be guaranteed waited a while for my partners fresh food to be brought out by which point mine was stone cold. My partner had a fresh steak but definitely didn't look or taste like a rump steak it was so thin, and tasted horrible (yes i tried it) which is such a shame as it has put us off. Did tell the staff member it was horrible an he just said he would mention it to the kitchen.

I visited The Man at Arms Today . The food was amazing with friendly staff. Hayden looked after us well with a great smile and a lovely conversation, it made our day. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon. Thank You

Food was great, atmosphere good. Could have done with the waitress to explain we had to go to bar to order food and drinks. Always good to know what you need to do when you walk in. It's a nice touch. Customer is informed.

Decent service and the food was good and generous.

Such a lovey meal AGAIN !!! Every time we come here the food is excellent and a great price . The bar staff are friendly and the atmosphere is always good . Steaks are spot on and the steak and ale pie always hits the mark .

Always a treat to visit. Food was very good and nice atmosphere.

My partner and both has steak, he had 24oz rump I had 16oz T bone asked for them to be medium, both were well done and the meat was tough. Very disappointed as haven't been for a long time and it used to be fantastic

Lovely place, nice relaxed atmosphere. Husband had the titanic steak and he really enjoyed it. Kids also had steak, mac and cheese and i had the crispy shrimp salad. Everyone had a fab meal and the team who serve the meals are fabulous and friendly. I would highly recommend. The car park is a little small so I can imagine could be an issue in busier times.

Amazing food, steak was incredible, cooked perfectly. Service was just as good. Highly recommend.

First time here and was very impressed. Good beer, friendly staff, great service and the best value for money I've seen in a long time. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Lovely pub.great food and friendly service and polite staff.

Excellent food great service 👍...good choice and priced sensibly ....definitely going back big thank you to the hard working team 💪

Great food (again) excellent atmosphere and a real fire. Really enjoyed our visit (again).

Went for lunch, the staff were very accommodating, food was good pub grub served hot in timely. Would recommend.

Fantastic food served very quickly and staff very nice and friendly

I'm very sad to be leaving this review but tonight really let them down. I booked a table for 10 (we have a sizable family, this is not our first time here and it has always been OK so far) it was my husbands birthday so hoped for a nice evening. Tonight we arrived with my husbands assistance dog and were met with quite an attitude asking if I had mentioned the dog. I never had to previously as this claims to be a dog friendly pub. Begrudgingly they moved our table (to the dog friendly part, about 3 metres from the rest of the pub), at 6pm they informed us they would need it back at 7.45. A bit tight for 10 people to eat especially if anyone wanted dessert but OK. We had our meal, it was OK. My niece ordered dessert which didn't arrive. My husband went to the bar and heard a waitress saying "whose apple pie is that, its been there for ages, if someone doesn't claim it soon I'm having it" my husband then said I think we have been waiting for that. My niece was then served her reheated pie, at about 7.40pm. I don't believe my niece would have gotten her dessert if my husband hadn't heard this. As soon as she was finished we were asked to leave our table, the waitress said there is lots of seating in the bar to finish your drinks. So we gave up our table. Big mistake, the waitress was lying. There was no seating - the bar was so busy. 10 people left standing with nowhere to go! We had ordered some of the most expensive dishes on the menu. My husband is waiting for a hip replacement. Twice I complained and was told someone was coming to help me. No one did. Half of our party gave up and left. Then a table opened up and we jumped on it. Full of plates and dirty. We cleared it ourselves. At no point did anyone come over to offer to wipe it. I expect we spent more there tonight than any other party, definitely would have spent a lot more if we hadn't been removed from our table. I reserved a table for this special occasion and an assistance dog should very allowed full access. We meet here as its the middle between our houses. There are other pubs and sadly now we will be looking into them. I did speak to a guy who said no manager was working that night. On a busy Saturday night clearly a mistake. All of this could have been avoided if our assistance dog could of sat at the table they had reserved for us. Very disappointing.

I jave been coming here for many years and the food is always lovely and the staff are always friendly and polite.

Very warm and welcoming pub, food was very tasty and service was good, would recommend and will return again.

Family meal that was very poor food was cold & under cooked I spoke to the waitress who replied I will let the chef know ( yes the place was fairly busy ) but the chef or manager never appeared Will not be rushing back

It's cheap but not always cheerful. Steaks can be hit and miss, many meals going back to the kitchen. Mine was cooked to medium rare but no seasoning at all and only just warm enough

Six of us visited on a Saturday evening. The pub was busy but didn't feel crowded. The food was hot, tasty, and reasonably priced. Not a massive choice of beers, but I would say it's more of an eating place than a drinking place. Overall I would recommend The Man at Arms, but book a table at the weekend.

The Man at Arms is an okay pub, a little cramped inside, staff were not particularly friendly, but the drinks were good quality. The atmosphere was tense, making us want to leave. It was possibly down to being straight after Christmas, where staff had been stressed and overworked.

Disappointing meal, requested a table near the fireplace as we had elderly people with us...... no fires lit and the pub was freezing cold. Asked if fire could be lit only to be told there was nobody available to lite it. Told the waitress how disappointed we were in the evening and she didn't comment. 3 Tables around us left as all complained about the cold. Definitely going downhill fast.

The man at arms is OK...I've been a few times and like the place...nice fair priced menu in a beautiful building.

A lovely premises with welcoming real fires. Staff cleared table unobtrusively & promptly. Nothing was too much trouble. Our meals were cooked to perfection. Five star recommendation

Very cosy and good value for money.

Food wasn’t even average standard . Steaks cold onion rings over cooked chip cold to well done . I have been here plenty of times but last night was terrible.

Huge thank you to Samantha and the team today. It's my mums birthday and unfortunately she is housebound at the moment. I rang in advance and requested if there was any way we could come in and order and take it away. They said it was no problem and even took the time to box it up for us. It was such a kind gesture and they clearly went above and beyond so my mum could have a nice big juicy steak at home!

Fantastic as always great quality food at very reasonable prices, Doesn't matter how many times we go never a bad meal , fast service and great ales too.

Wasn't busy when we went Steak was good But the staff didn't clear the plate or ask if all was okay or maybe we would like As we left, there was no sign of the staff

Very warm welcome and friendly staff. This pub restaurant is nothing like it used to be. My husbands mixed grill was nice but the other three meals were dissapointing. Peppered pork chops were not chops but pork steaks. They were grilled to the point of being as dry as a bone. The rub was artificially peppery, just not good. The chicken fajita skillet looked good, the chicken was nice but the peppers and onions were not chargrilled, they were burnt black and not edible. The sausage and mash was okay but average at best. First pint of draught ale was good, the second pint from the same tap, watery and not good. £70 wasted in an hour. Service was good though. Won't be eating there again.

Okish, if you like quite country pub's then this is ok. If you are looking for atmosphere, cheap drinks and a acceptable food. Then go to your local spoons.

Great food at a great price. Loved it.

Great food, great prices as always. Nice friendly atmosphere staff always willing to help. Well worth a visit

I'd been here a few times and loved it. Recently, my close loved ones arranged a supprise 50th get together for me. It was amazing. Staff were amazing and the food as usual was perfect. Thank you all

Loved the open fire, set up a nice warm atmosphere to sit in. The staff was very friendly & service was A star!! The food was amazing, definitely worth the money!! I will definitely go again at some point!! Thanks for a lovely evening!!

This is a very unusual and characterful building complete with an unusual fireplace with log burner. The atmosphere is interesting but with pop music playing and seating quite close to other diners. The menu is extensive coupled with super tasty deserts. I think we chose unwisely of braised beef. This was very disappointing with jelly like gravy, soggy beans and mashed potatoes hidden underneath fatty thick slices of meat. The mashed potatoes were so hot we both suffered very badly burned roof of our mouthes. We were lucky to have cold drinks to hand and somewhat soothed by icecream deserts. I did mention this to the waitress. It is such a shame we found this because the pub may lose custom when it is in such a good building. There is a very large car park to the rear of the pub.

Meal for 5 was served promptly and the service was very pleasant. It was busy from 12pm when we arrived. We all had different dishes and everything was tasty. The burgers were HUGE. I would recommend this pub.

We called upon the Man at Arms at short notice to accommodate 22 people after we had been let down. The food came out in good time it was hot and the order was right which with 22 people is a tall order. Food was tasty as you would expect and we will definitely be returning thank you everyone for great service and looking after us.

Food is very good and not over priced

Busy pub, always a good sign. Lovely food, good portions and excellent prices.

It's been along time since I last went there. But still good food and friendly.

Good food at a good price been to man at arms for 15 plus years food allways good for the price

Wow had the Steak deal £23.99 upgraded the Wine 10 oz & 8oz Bistro steak delicious many thanks Kerry,Helen & Ena will be back 😋

Always a lovely meal, and very friendly staff

The food was barely edible. Warm, undercooked and unseasoned. Has changed greatly since I was last there. Won't go again and wouldn't recommend anyone else go.
