The Roebuck in Harborough

The pate was very odd, Almost slimy. The baked camembert was very good.

Food was great, atmosphere was super and Gerald gave the best service from all the times I have eaten here.

Gerald was our server today, he was very friendly and attentive.

Had a lovely Sunday roast, served to us by Alex whom was friendly, and attentive. Will definitely return.

Very nice roast dinner, big servings. Kids roast was very generous too. Service was great, Alex was friendly and attentive.

Very well organised and gorgeous food

Very very very nice restaurant for everyone, nice food, friendly waiter.

delicious food, friendly waiters, work hard manager, beautiful interior.we like the Roebuck more more more.

Group of us came for a friends sixtieth birthday, we all pre-ordered to make it smoother on the day, the pub had closed off our own section so we had enough space and it went really well. Food was fantastic but with so many of us the service was a bit slow. The staff were all great and very friendly. Would definitely recommend for a group booking!

Great meal, lovely waiter , always a nice atmosphere

Great food and atmosphere lovely pub and service was very good would defo come again👍🏻

We all had Sunday dinner and all were very good. Plenty of vegetables. All the other meals on previous visits have been really good.

We had made a reservation in advance. We sat in the dining area and had a lovely meal. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We used a voucher which made the price very reasonable for the quality of the food

I am writing to express my disappointment following a recent visit to this restaurant, which fell well below my expectations due to poor service and unclear booking terms. I had made a reservation online for 12:00 PM for two people, clearly noting in the booking that we would also have a baby with us and would require a high chair. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the door by a man I assume was the manager. When I mentioned our booking, he looked at us and sarcastically remarked that we had only booked for two people, implying that the baby counted as a third guest. His tone and attitude were dismissive and disrespectful, which immediately made us feel unwelcome. In addition, we were informed—after ordering drinks—that the 30% discount voucher we intended to use was not valid due to it being a bank holiday. This restriction was not mentioned anywhere on the website during the booking process, which felt misleading and frustrating. Due to the unprofessional attitude of the manager and the lack of transparency regarding the voucher, we chose to leave after paying for our drinks. It was an unfortunate experience, and I believe it could have been avoided with better customer service and clearer communication. I hope you take this feedback seriously, as experiences like this can significantly impact customer trust and loyalty.

Lovely lunch time visit with family... excellent service from Alex

Excellent service from Alex... varied menu, catered for dietary requirements... food lovely and environment very comfortable

First visit with family who have been before. Wonderful food, and prompt friendly service from Alex. Will definitely go again

Great food and great service from Alex...nothing too much trouble for him and very attentive ...Great advert for the company

Lovely venue. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. Staff very friendly, helpful and attentive. Lunch was delicious and the dining area was spacious and not too noisy. Given 4 stars because we ordered puddings and they took ages to come to the table, however the lunch itself was served without a long wait. Would definitely eat here again but would not order puddings.

Steak ( the size of a thumb finger) and mini pie with 2 little carrots and few potatoes paid 23.50 for a really small plate. I understant they might have to respect the calories on the menu but is well over priced for what you get. Also ordered apple and cherry crumble which turned to be a kind of porridge which I mentioned but didn't really care. I did not expected to go back home and have another dinner. This was for my birthday with another 4 guests and none of them liked it. The trio was like some food that was reheated from previous day. We all travelled from Weldon to Market Harborough. Won't be back for sure, get the food right guys. Really disappointed today 😞

Good was excellent best pie I have ever had 👍

Busy but service was very good well looked after by Harry. Food up to usual good standard

The Roebuck is a great place for dinner or a relaxed drink. Alex is always helpful and speedy service.

I wish you would put Gammon steak back on the menu

Called in for a meal on a Sunday afternoon. I had the alleged new pie that the poster raved about. Well, the lid would serve as a manhole cover. I've actually cracked my denture so won't be hurrying back. Table next to us had the same problem.

Friendly welcome and lovely efficient staff. Food was great too.

Harry was amazing - we had a great evening with the quiz and dinner.

Nice and friendly and comfortable but on this occasion food cold as served on cold plates.

Brilliant pub, great food at great prices and a great atmosphere! Rich and G are especially great, very friendly staff and a really beautiful pub

We had an excellent meal here, served by Georgia and rich, kind and friendly service, lovely atmosphere, we will definitely return

Always a pleasure to be served by Alex behind the bar. He’s always friendly and welcoming whenever I come in

Give the restaurant a miss unless you like poor quality over cooked food, lack of ambience and staff who need better training in hospitality - from the manager down.

All very nice , welcoming and clean , staff were very helpful and pleasant

Hadn't visited before ,bar drinks service OK but and it's big but that will put anyone ever eating there ...when was the gents toilet last cleaned ? I think never ,it was filthy and not just overnight muck I'm talking months and months of dirt ...I'd be interested to see the kitchen mmmmm

Visiting the Roebuck never disappoints, service is always quick and food is consistently excellent. The roebuck has a homely feel and you always feel welcome. Would thoroughly recommend.

The worst place I've been yet. Over £20 for this pie and lumps of rock pretending to be potatoes, with a pie that was tasty, but so small it looked like it was 4 miles away. Gravy was thin and disappointing. Tasted like grease and water. Scarily, the peas were the best thing on the plate. They charged us for a pepsi we never got, and when one of our party asked a staff member for mayo, they just ignored the request and walked past. When understandably complaining, we were told, "that's how it comes". Total garbage. Do not go near this place. Dreadful. Nothing offered as an apology, with a £145 bill for 5 of us. Terrible I've not even mentioned the lamb yet. "lamb rump" on the menu. Turns out, 3 slices of wet tasteless lamb cut up for me like I'm a 5 year old. Pathetic.

Would have liked a window seat as it was sunny. Quick pleasant service, prawn cocktail was pleasantly displayed, my fish gorgon sarnies, need a big bite 🫦. I have a taste card, 25% off whole drinks and meal. Happy customer, will be back.

Beautiful food, friendly staff, it was very busy so we had to wait longer than usual for our food, but the staff kindly arranged for an extension of time on our table, we didn't want to miss pudding!

It was mother's day so the resturant was busy but the staff were fab and very attentive even checked back to see if food was OK! ++++ Food was divine

Friendly, flexible and comfy, even with it feeling busy it was still relaxed. Great service and food was amazing (not usually a big vegetable eater but the veg with the roast was absolutely delectable!). Great portions for standard, not too small nor big but lovingly sized than most high class restaurant courses aka morsels. Highly recommended! Look forward to our next visit!

Really good service, despite coming in on a busy mothers day with no booking, Richard and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. On top of that, the food was very good! Would happily come back when in the area again

What a fantastic meal out, as soon as we walked through the door a friendly welcoming, great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning. Would definitely recommend. Dog & family friendly. What a great bonus in supporting the armed forces.

Wow! What an amazing roast we had. The service was second to none too, Ben in particular was great, who we now know had only been there a few days. He did amazing. Since the new manager and staff took over it really had improved ten fold. They we all so accommodating with me taking the pram in too made sure we had enough space and were all comfortable. And the food itself was yummy, best roast dinner I have had out in a long time so tasty and great portions too. We will 100% be back.

Used 30% off offer, very busy. Great service, lovely food.

We were a party of 7, seating was good, did not feel hemmed together. Looked after very well with a good menu.

Lovely pub with amazing service and staff. Especially Richard. He is extremely helpful and friendly. Great food for great value! Will definitely be back!

Overall we were very pleased. Our waitress was very nice. We ordered two roasts (one beef one pork) and a seabass. The meat was extremly tender on both, great yorkshires and good mix of vegetables. I had the pork and would have liked a little more crackling and I have to say my whole meal was lovey and tasty. Our friend who had the seabass really really enjoyed it said it was cooked too perfection. We had desserts which were excellent. We then decided on coffees with liquers. It was our first time visiting the Roebuck we are hoping this will be as good when we come again. We have just moved into Market Harborough and would hope to bring family to eat here when they. Our overall experience though was great and look forward to visiting again.

Enjoyable evening out. All our meals were delicious and served hot and in a timely manner. Staff were great. Really helpful, friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food amazing service at Roebuck on Sunday, Roasts were so good, We have booked again for next week, We’ll done Roebuck

What can I say, this place is just amazing Richard and the team are beyond wonderful. Most definitely will be back and recommend to friends. They can't do enough to help you and look after you while you are here. Keep up the great work.

Had a fantastic meal here! The food was delicious, especially the chicken burger and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. A wonderful experience—I’d definitely recommend it!

We had a lovely meal this Sunday, the manager was very accommodating, ensured the meals for our young kids came first to allow us the time to feed them before our dinner came and it was all beautiful food. There were clear plates all round! And love the kids play area too

A group of us had drinks here and they wanted to close early by an hour but because we weren’t drinking fast enough they made as much noise banging crockery etc round us, turned the music off and then told us they were closing so we had to leave… it was 10.30 when we were kicked out not 11 as advertised. Rude!! We only went here because the pub we wanted to go to was packed with no where to sit, the roebuck was empty now I know why!

Very Disappointed that we were virtually being forced out of the door long before closing time!

Great food, helpful and friendly staff, fab atmosphere!

We went for a Sunday lunch, presentation was amazing and even had a 30% off coupon. Somehow that still didn’t feel like enough, with the meat tasting like school dinners. I don’t know if it was just a bad day, but it wasn’t a proper home cooked roast that you expect from pubs.

Friendly fast service, Sunday roast came out in record time. Food was well portioned and tasty . The desserts were good too. Lovely interior/atmosphere.

Very pleasant service, sometimes to quick between servings. Food was very good and tasty. Would recommend to try. Very clean and well set out.

Food was OK, tiny portions though! Nearly £4 for a portion of tiny chips! I think I counted 8x chips in the teeny bowl! What has happened to rations on portion size!? The kids has a tiny little ramakins of beans that had about two mouthfuls in them. Food is so overpriced the pub trade is going down hill these days! Otherwise okay. Just not great. Such a shame but I have to be honest. You dont much bang for your buck these days. Not great if your looking to feed a hungry family! 😕

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Good wine selection

Great visit as always Gee and Jade were amazing couldn’t do anymore for us food was great and served in a timely manner we visit near enough every week and never had a bad visit keep up the good work

Good value good food and attentive staff

Had a fantastic time last week, the manager, duncan and our waiter richard were excellent hosts and made us feel most welcome and couldn't have done more to help service was fast food was great and the atmosphere was spot on. All the staff seemed to be enjoying themselves which was lovely to see. Would highly recommended.

Service and atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, only downside i could see was not many vegetarian options.

Fantastic service and good food for 19 of us for a 60th birthday party! Very accommodating manager. Recommend if you’ve got a large group including children as there’s lots of room for them to play outside.

We visited for lunch as it's half way between us and family with great access. The lunch staff were so friendly, helpful and charming, plus the food was delicious, it's dog friendly and they even have treats ready for them! Will definitely visit again.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, welcoming staff. Food is always delicious with generous portion sizes. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff. We had an extra guest, not a problem. Recommend to friends as confident that they won’t be disappointed.

Went for dinner with Friends. Food was ok. Portions not big enough & wouldn't have wanted to pay full price. We had a discount off the mains. Arrived at 7.30pm & was told by the guy waiting the tables, that the kitchen closes at 8pm ! Drinks very overpriced... £22 for a bottle of prosecco & £6.25 for a malibu & dash of coke !!! The bar staff were nice, and it's a nice Pub inside. If they sort the portions & prices, it could be fab ! Probably wouldn't go for dinner again, lunch might be better value. However rip-off drinks prices, put me off. Shame !

Expensive poor quality food. Had far better burgers at Macdonalds. Drinks expensive. Won't be returning

Middle of the day, so atmosphere was understandably non-existent. Nobody smiled or welcomed us, however. Experience was ok and the food was solid.

Really nice venue and friendly helpful staff. Having recently discovered I have a gluten intolerance, it was nice that one member of staff, Richard, took the time to help me in showing what I can and can’t have off the menu as I’m still learning!

Service and food were great. Staff were all helpful. Seated us in a nice quiet spot so we could talk while having lunch and charge our laptops.

Great restaurant, stunning new menu. We had a large family party, we were well looked after by the staff. Service was great and so were our meals, and massive portions too!! Thanks you Roebuck, we will be back soon

Made to feel welcome on arrival. Service and quality of the food was amazing.

Really good meal, great atmosphere. Fab for families and dogs.

We have visited The Roebuck for the past two Sundays, and while we generally enjoy the atmosphere and food, our experience with one particular staff member has been disappointing. On both occasions, we were greeted by a man named Richard, who was quite abrupt and unwelcoming. When we mentioned our reservation, his response was dismissive, saying, "We'll see if we have a table for you." On January 26th, we arrived with our dogs and could clearly see that the right-hand dog-friendly area was nearly empty, yet Richard was unnecessarily rude. I also witnessed him treat another guest the same way—directing an elderly man to the bar area despite his preference to sit in the dog-friendly section. When we visited again yesterday, the same issue arose. I had originally booked a table for 4:00 PM but realised we would be late, so I immediately replied to the confirmation email to change it to 4:30 PM. Upon arrival, Richard insisted that I had no booking and, without even checking, told me it was cancelled. When I tried to explain, he simply stated that "we don’t read those emails." Again, despite the dog-friendly area being visibly empty, he claimed there were no available tables. I then asked if we could eat in the bar, and after some reluctance, he agreed. This kind of attitude is not what you expect from front-line hospitality staff. On a positive note, Georgia and Duncan from the bar team are always incredibly polite, welcoming, and helpful. They go out of their way to ensure guests feel comfortable, and their service is truly appreciated. As for the food, it is generally very good, though there are some inconsistencies. The mixed grill can sometimes contain fatty or overly tough meat. The roast dinners are lovely, but yesterday, the roast potatoes were overcooked and too hard, with barely any potato inside. My triple roast was missing the crackling, and my son's sirloin steak—which was undercooked last time—was requested well done but arrived burnt and curled up at the edges. Despite these issues, we do enjoy the overall atmosphere, the friendly bar and waiting staff, and the quality of food on most occasions. We hope that management can address these concerns, as we’d love to continue dining here without the negative experiences at the front door.

Lovely pub to go and eat or just have a few beers , went to try a Hawkstone lager but they have stopped selling it now, but still had plenty of other lagers/beers on offer, Rich and the team are always pleasant and happy, I’m proud to call this pub my local

Highly recommend for good service and food. Table 2 30pm 31 Jan 2025 - Service and food excellent. The two members of staff who serviced us were great but particularly the Lady could not have been better. Shes a credit to your business . Didn’t get her name but 10 Out of 10 - thank you

Very busy, clearly understaffed ,took 40 mins to get our food, not the best experience we've had at the roebuck and we visit Quite regularly. Disappointed ☹️

Best pint of Guinness in town. Very friendly pub. Beer and food are always good and the manager, Rich is always very welcoming.

Couldn't fault our family meal here tonight. Quality and service were spot on.

Too noisy with loud music overhead, need to vary menu and have specials board.

Went for lunch. Excellent service by the staff, food arrived quickly and was very good. Broad menu selection and lots of parking. Recommend.

Great food and service...can't ask anything more

Went for a Sunday roast, atmosphere and staff very welcoming. Meal came out quickly but needed to be hotter.

Really good meal, portions could have been a little more generous but it was lovely.

Food was delicious, service was great.

The food was amazing g was the best

Always a great place to drink and eat. Staff are fantastic.

A big shout out to Gee who really looked after us and ensured we had a great experience. Lovely venue and a relaxing atmosphere 🤌🏻 Recently, we also joined in on the New Years Eve party bash. Rich took great care of us and made sure we were all having a fab time. We all really enjoyed it and the kids loved the “midnight” balloon drop and the disco too. There were loads to do to keep them busy and to tire them out. The balloon entertainer was a huge hit with us, he certainly was popular. Thank you for a great evening!

Good atmosphere, good value food and friendly staff.

Overall excellent. Will be back. Exceptional chicken burger! Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Highly recommend, great pub food, lovely staff.

This is a nice pub. The atmosphere is good, and it's clean. The food was served quickly and was good quality. The quantity of food was reasonable.

Chose to have Christmas day lunch with friends. Pre booked in October and paid our booking along with our meal selection in advance. We were welcomed by staff who wished us a merry Xmas a nice touch, we were seated quickly and once our guests arrived we were asked about drinks. The drinks arrived quickly and soon after our food began to arrive. The food all three courses were hot tasty and well presented. The staff were quick with service and very attentive. The only negative I would say was that as the meal had ended we felt as though we were being rushed from our seat to be moved to the bar area, even though we had time left on our table. It was a minor detail but worth mentioning all the same. We would highly recommend the Roebuck for an Xmas dinner experience.

An enjoyable pub for lunch. Nice menu to choose from and plenty for the picky kids! Good service and hot, tasty food. Will definitely come back to try the Sunday lunch next

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience at the Roebuck. Bear in mind this was a pre ordered meal so absolutely no surprises. Drinks took 15 minutes to order and sat on the bar for another 15 minutes the coke was disgusting and we were told that’s the way it is. 3 of us had Salmon and we were told they have included king prawns at no extra cost, I think the truth is they had nearly ran out of salmon and stuck 3 prawns on the plate I would say there wasn’t even a tea spoon of salmon given. 3 had tomato soup, we were told it is now mushroom soup which nobody wanted but whilst we were there they were serving tomato soup to the next table. 5 had turkey main and 3 had steak pie. Mains were Ok ish, bought in pies not homemade. We had had enough by desert so we asked to take them away. We waited 30 minutes and when we got home there was nothing be desert short but they were in dirty tubs that hadn’t been washed out so straight in the bin they went. Toilets are absolutely disgusting. Over £315 wasted wish we hadn’t bothered and we definitely will not return.

Our party consisted of four adults and 3 children, we were looked after attentively and the children each received a colouring book and crayons. We reserved a table beforehand and unfortunately we were given a high table with barstools, not ideal for children. We asked if we could change but were told it wasn’t possible. We ordered two sharing platters to start, and was disappointed with them as they consisted of very little content for the price. The remainder of our meals were ok, but nothing outstanding.

Great spot for some lunch after Christmas shopping. Nice service and good food. Will definitely be back to try. Sunday lunch next. Recommend
