Another fabulous dinner at the Monk. Great service very interesting and eclectic wine list. With something to please everyone. My venison was amazing as was the pork. Sadly we had no room for dessert but the table next to us had no such problem. Can’t wait to see you at Christmas.

Having been left in lurch by a local hotel I was searching for a local restaurant that could accommodate our party of 26 people. Having found The Monk via a Google search I placed an enquiry via the website initially and followed up by phone a little later. No to fully understand the complexity of this I must outline the timescales, I made the initial phone call to this establishment on Thursday evening asking if they could accommodate us for the following Tuesday evening. Simon answered the phone and, understandably so, hesitated at the possibility. My outlook, even before I made the enquiry, was not hopeful owing to the size of our group. Simon phoned back with positive news albeit with a service time a little later than we hoped for but beggars cannot be choosers right? Simon forwarded on the menu for pre-selection, clearly communicating the required timescales etc. The level at which Simon was communicating with me gave me confidence in the venue and the menu looked enticing. Fast forward to arriving at the venue on Tuesday, Fantastic setting, great vibe to the place, we were impressed as soon as we walked through the front door. Owing to the size of our group we were seated in the "The Inside Out" area of the venue which is as impressively appointed as the main restaurant area. The food was fantastic, not one of our group had a bad word (not even a minor grumble) to say about the food. The service was constant and quite frankly superb! Real credit has to go to Simon and the team at The Monk! With barely any notice at all they manged to make our experience a most enjoyable one and all at a reasonable price. Thank you all so much for making the night a success it really does mean a great deal to us. Highly, highly recommended!

An absolutely fantastic experience at the Monk. We booked an early evening meal for a group of 6 friends on a Saturday evening. The service was so friendly and attentive, from every single member of the team. The food was fabulous - I’d particularly recommend the tiger prawns (starter) and sea bass (main). Some great wine choices, and it was nice to see a Cava on the drinks menu along with Prosecco. We also shared a couple of desserts which were excellent, I can’t imagine you could go wrong with anything on the menu! When we needed to vacate our table, we were offered an alternative garden table which was comfortable and cosy, with outdoor heating. The staff were really accommodating, and we appreciated being able to continue our conversations and order coffees/liqueurs without heading on to a different venue in the village. I would highly recommend the Monk for a special evening with family or friends - if you’re looking for excellent service and high quality food then you really can’t go wrong here! Thank you to all the staff for a perfect evening.

We visited last night and had wonderful evening. Welcomed from the moment we entered right through to the handshake at the end of the night. Food, drink, service, atmosphere, even the decor all came together elegantly. Even when a mistake was made (we're all human) it was rectified instantly.

I'd like to send my sincere thanks to the team at the Monk for last night's dinner. Thank you so much for your flexibility in allowing us to dine despite being 30mins late due to the weather and traffic. We had the dressed Crab and moule frites as main which was one of the best we've had and the orange and white chocolate creme brûlée and chocolate parfait. The creme brûlée was exquisite in flavour. I'm not a fan of creme brûlée but that certainly won me over. 10/10, will definitely be coming back! The staff were also incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive. One thing I'd suggest is to have someone man the phone (if possible) as I tried to call numerous times to notify of our delay but no one answered.

First visit based on recommendations an anniversary Sunday lunch. Parking is easy and free across the road. Quaint with low beams so tall people duck. Great Africa themed decoration. Plenty of staff well drilled and overseen by mine host. We had a mix of appetizers, mains and desserts and the feedback is everything was excellent. The star was the pork spring rolls so good we could have eaten more despite them being a well sized portion. Roasts across the range were well received and good size portions again. Everything was excellently presented and cooked to perfection. We will return.

We had a delicious meal at The Monk, the food was absolutely delicious - the steak I had was cooked to perfection and the chips were delicious and a great portion size. The cheeseboard was amazing, loved the presentation and different cheeses (the Gouda was fantastic, and loved the truffle honey)! The service was brilliant, attentive and friendly and always happy to answer questions. The wine was delicious and went well with the food. Hoping to come back again to try some more delicious food and try some of the amazing sounding cocktails!

We booked a table here for dinner since we were staying locally but didn't know the area at all. There is a free sizable public car park just across the road. We had a lovely greeting as soon as we walked through the door and were shown to our table. The waitress was so sweet and patient. The food was outstanding - beautifully presented and very tasty. The drinks were delicious and everything was reasonably priced. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable. The toilets were also clean with lots of little thoughtful additions in the ladies loo! We were there for a couple of hours and the time flew by! As things got busier, service became a little slower, despite several staff members. From what we could gather, they weren't working sections or tables which did leave us feeling a little neglected later in our meal but we were happy to sit and enjoy the ambiance while feeling stuffed with good food!

Once again Simon has produced a wonderful evening. The starters of spring roll and crab were excellently spiced and scrumptious. The main course of “Wellington” done with slow cooked beef was to die for, perhaps a little more seasoning for the beef but t’was truly super. Perhaps the most eclectic wine list I have ever seen in such a cozy restaurant. Very well priced and very tasty. All in all a great time..

We were staying in Quorn and decided, at the last minute, to not eat at our hotel and instead venture in to Quorn, specifically to The Monk. I am ever so glad we did. The menu was simple, yet I would have happily eaten pretty much anything from it. The service was pleasant, efficient, and exactly what I wanted. I can't fault a single thing. We had the three course prix fixe menu, a bottle of rosé, and some dessert wine. Incredible value given the quality of the food, drink, and service. I will most definitely visit again next time I'm in the area and would recommend to anyone and everyone.

I went to The Monk for Sunday lunch as a group of 20. We all sat in the extension area and it was wonderfully convivial. The food was excellent, I had the smoked salmon and beetroot, which was excellent and had envy for the ravioli my husband had ordered for a starter. The beef I had for my main meal was excellent. The wine choice and well stocked bar ensure there is plenty to accompany your meal. The staff are always polite and attentive and a credit to the business.

Clearly a popular restaurant. Practically full on this Sunday lunchtime. If the rating was on the food then I would have given 5 stars. The starter of beetroot cured salmon was lovely, well presented, nice quality. The roast rib of beef was very good too although it would have been better without such a large Yorkshire pudding. I noticed a lot of people seemed to leave much of this. The chocolate pave for dessert was beautiful and delicious. The only problem seemed to be coordination of the service. Yes all the serving staff were very pleasant and there were quite a few of them but there were long gaps between arriving and getting served and between courses. We arrived on time at 1.15 and were seated straight way after a friendly welcome but it was a good 15 minutes before anyone took our order. The gap between the starter and main course was a good 30 to 40 minutes.yes the staff did apologise that they were having to serve a large table before us and there would be a delay, but we would have thought most restaurants would serve a table of two before a table of a dozen or so to avoid a long wait. We remarked to ourselves that it was a good thing that we were only drinking mineral water as we would have easily finished a bottle of wine before the main course arrived. When it did finally arrive it was perfectly cooked but maybe a little on the lukewarm side. Would we return? Maybe, as the food was very good, but maybe not on a Sunday lunch time. Well done though on pleasant staff and good quality food

We came as a group of 20 for Sunday lunch and we were seated together in the warm and comfortable extension. We had preordered and our food arrived close together, obviously well planned and executed. There is nothing worse that sitting with food getting cold, waiting for the rest of the table to be served, or tucking in and finding that you've finished whilst others are just getting served. Drinks were served quickly, we had excellent service and a huge "thank you" for coping with our drama. We were made to feel so welcome, not at all rushed. The portions were generous, especially the amazing yorkshire puddings, and the starters, mains and deserts were certaily enjoyed by all. We left feeling well fed and well looked after.

All 3 courses were delicious and the non-alcoholic cocktails are also excellent. The pork spring rolls with satay sauce were crispy and the sauce was really tasty. We both polished off every last scrap off food on our plates - chicken breast and croquette with mushrooms in not-enough white wine sauce, and lamb rump with lamb/potato gratin with garlic beans. Chocolate and cherry mousse was sublime and just how a proper mousse should be - rich and velvety. Good service and a lovely place.

This was an exceptional dining experience, a big city experience in a lovely little village. Simon, the host, was engaging, knowledgeable and most welcoming. Staff were well trained and discrete. Very admirable wine list to compliment some of the best cuisine in the midlands. Top job!

A very warm welcome on a chilly damp evening. Mind your heads and tummy here. The beams are low and the decor is stylish, boujee - A selection of week day menus and a selection on delicious cocktails. I had Gin Smoked Salmon - followed by Fish & Chips. Monkfish goujons in a light crispy batter. I was tempted by the Irish coffees that were very popular… Great staff & a really enjoyable evening.

What a great place! So quirky, brilliant espresso martini, lovely staff and more importantly the Sunday lunch was right up there with the best we’ve ever had. Will definitely return when in the area!

First visit to The Monk, and it was superb. There were two vegans in our party of three and it was so nice to have a couple of creative choices that were delicious. What a lovely place to dine, with really nice and attentive staff. We will be returning.

Beautiful place, very cosy atmosphere, everyone there is really friendly, the drinks menu is very extensive. We both really enjoyed all three courses, the baked oysters were my highlight. The best cuisine and excellent value, it was all I dreamed it would be, and from the reviews ha ha....I'll be back.

My wife and I went for evening dinner. The food was great with a good selection. The monkfish main was excellent 👌. There is a nice ambience to the venue too. The only thing slight negative was being told as soon as we arrived that we only had the table until 9pm. Something we knew when we booked. Overall though a lovely place to eat.

Treated my brother and his wife to celebrate my sister in laws sixtieth birthday, it’s was great. The food was superb and plentiful, with none of us able to tackle a pudding. Also a great selection of wine, but buy it by the bottle, it’ll leave you more to tip the girls at the end of your visit. So to sum up great food, good wine and fantastic service.

Thought we’d try this as we hadn’t been there before. The only tables available were early so we skipped lunch and arrived to a very warm welcome, excellent service and great food. All the food was beautifully presented from the 3 course fixed menu after cocktails and a gin and tonic. We both deliberately ordered different food for each course and all 6 dishes were excellent and neither of us regretted our choices. The total bill of just over £50pp (including a nice bottle of wine) was very reasonable and we will definitely return as all aspects of the evening were spot on.

We went on a Wednesday, steak night. Beautiful piece of Chateaubriand between us, fantastic tempura prawns for a starter, and a great orange sponge pudding. Accompanied by well made cocktails and nice wine, it was fabulous. Thank you for a great evening, we will be back.

We visited mid evening on a Friday. Without a booking there was no change of a table but staff were super friendly and offered us a table outside where we sat, drank cocktails, watched the goings on of Friday night in the village centre and tried not to think about how cold it was for August (as we are British and should know better!).

We visited the Monk for a family meal and we were blown away by the food and service. A choice of a seafood based menu and fixed menu gave us plenty of choice. Superb quality food, beautifully presented too. Thank you to all the staff...

This restaurant is up along with the likes of the Waldorff Hotel, It is a college for students starting their careers in hospitality. The service is excellent and the food magnificent. Occassionally there is a guest chef who spends a couple of days with the students and they guide the students to create their Menu for service to customers of a Thursday evening. If like me you want to try amazing food for a fraction of the cost, or you just want to support the next generation of hospitality staff and Chefs, then this is the place to go! Don't in anyway think that because the students are learning there will be any mistakes because the first class Lecturers are there to make sure there are none! You will not regret a visit and I go every week in term time have tried many dishes, and have never had a bad meal. These students are trained so highly they win many National competitions and so have the Lecturers. Well done Loughborough College for the high standards and excellent skills and Lecturers this center/restaurant provides.

I am currently devouring my second generous helping of breakfast. Mushrooms on toast. OMG. My eyes want a third but my belly prevails. I am pleasantly stuffed :). What a relaxed location. A warm feeling inspired by all the friendly staff. I felt very comfortable and at home here. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.

My most favourite little deli! Have been coming here for 11+ years and have never left disappointed. The food is fantastic and whenever I take people there (generally grabbing lunch with a colleague) they're always impressed with the quality of the food. Personal favourites are the brie and bacon baguette and THE WORLDS BEST lemon cheesecake (chefs kiss). Only slight criticisms would be the place gets so busy it can mean can't always eat in (shows how good the place is) and they're closed on a Monday which tends to be the day I work in the office so can't always nip in to the best deli in Leicestershire.

100% Recommend Lynroys for a kids birthday party. Stress free and kids loved it. Simon was brilliant with the kids and making it a funny, special and awesome party. (7 year old) (Quote from a child, " Mummy mummy, that was the best party I've ever been to. Can I have mine here?)

Put more bacon in your sandwiches please. Make it special. Not mediocre.
