The Royal Redgate in Hinckley and Bosworth

Visited recently with a friend on a Saturday evening, was able to book a table quite last minute on line no problem, was busy when we arrived and excellent service and very good quality food throughout. Highly recommend.

DOG FRIENDLY... food great... people lovely9

Great country pub and kitchen, visited for the first time as it was on our way back home. We will definitely come back! There's a sufficient parking space available, but crowded on Sunday's of course. Seems to have enough parking spot for the number tables. The Sunday roast is a real treat, cooked, everything cooked and seasoned nearing perfection, we opted for the sharing board with roast chicken and top side beef roast, came with buttered green, roasted potatoes, cauliflower cheese and jus! F A B U L O U S! If you ever plan to visit on a Sunday make sure to book a table before visiting as it is a popular place that deserves its reputation! Service was well organised, courteous and efficient! Well done to all the team, we had a delightful time!

I brought my significant other here for a birthday treat. We had the steak fillet, and although the dearest steak on the menu it was well worth the price tag. 😋 The staff were professional and helpful, and even though we didn't have a reservation, they were happy to sort a table for the two of us. We will definitely be back. Well done, guys. 👏👏

Booked in advance for Sunday lunch, lovely food, and nice atmosphere, it is a small venue inside so you are seated in close proximity to other diners but if that doesn't bother you go for it. Occasionally can be larger parties, so it may get loud at times. Overall cosy place and great beer.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast excellent value for money with really friendly staff would highly recommend

Most delicious Roast Chicken served with Bacon & Fennel Risotto. Superb.

We visited to celebrate my daughter's birthday with other family members. We usually have mains and a dessert but, as we'd brought our own cake, had a starter instead. 'Soup of the day' with Artisan bread was very nice and tasty - unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what the flavour was. We decided to have pork belly for mains and, as you can see, it was very well presented and tasted great. As an added bonus, they also accept Taste Card (although you have to prior book to be able to use it), so the savings were appreciated as well. When it came to the cake, they brought it out and sang Happy Birthday, along with the other diners, which was an additional nice touch.

Great selection for vegan menu. Had the vegan steak and partner had celeriac and edamame pie both were delicious 😋

Never before have I been served a drumstick and thigh for a Sunday Chicken Roast. Very disappointed

Cosy pub, clean and the most amazing pies I ever had ! I have tried the chicken and the beef pies and god they are simply amazing. I keep craving these pies ! Amazing coleslaw too and garlic bread ! Reasonable prices and very good service.

Lovely food presented beautifully

Omg pork belly ribs Staff are very well presented and happy to help. Well worth a try Tonight a take away burger with chip.mmm

Food good but was not expecting alacart layout for a pub meal. Could do with more veg on plate.

Ate here and had the Sunday roast (Beef) - was average at a push, meat was a bit tough and for the price i would have expected better. Desert (Sticky Toffee Pudding) was OK. Atmosphere was good and staff were attentive. Cleanliness was bit shoddy with sticky tables and detritus on the floor (and we were an early sitting, probably the 3rd group in, so no excuse really). We would not choose this venue again tbh.

Past this place many a time ,tried it on the way home from Leicester, it was fantastic ,staff great, food wonderful, atmosphere was so nice ,try it for your self you will see what I mean !

Excellent lunchtime menu, looking forward to going in an evening.

Welcoming staff. Good range of beers and wine. Very nice well kept beer garden with a corner roofed shelter too. Car parking with disabled spaces. Just off the A5 so a good stop for drivers taking a break. Will certainly go back for a meal too!

Purchased 2 Steak and Ale Pies with Jus and 2 Salmon and Pollock Pies and Volute to take home and freeze too

We visited on Saturday lunchtime. It was the first time, as we live in Melton Mowbray. We booked because the reviews said the food was good and was a special birthday lunch for a friend. Well to say the food was good is an understatement. It was OUTSTANDING. Sticky Pork ribs with mash. Filllet of steak with chips and Diane sauce. both meals were sublime. The meat was melt in the mouth. every mouth full a delight I don't write reviews usually but not to shout out on the Redgate is not acceptable. The Royal Redgate should definitely be on your list and definitely a visit. The staff were very helpful and thoughtful. So to all working there, thank you We will be making the hour trip more often.

Only dropped by for a drink and was wowed by the interior of this pub, served by a welcoming staff. Nice well kept beer garden with a hard standing sheltered corner. Certainly will return for a meal!

Service and food brilliant on pie night, white wine selection Limited but ok

Worst food ever had fish and chip Fish all batter and think they were microwave chips dry

I was looking for a place for dinner as I was in the area visiting the Triumph Factory and what a great decision. It started with the initial call to see if they had availability (which thankfully they did) when I arrived the atmosphere felt good and the staff made me feel comfortable and welcome, at no point did I feel like I was pushed or rushed, I asked for what they liked and also about a specific dish that sounded interesting, the description sounded tempting, I ordered it and what a choice! The flavours were fantastic the unusual mixture of ingredients worked wonders and now I will see if I can cook it at home. The drink choices were quite good (but then I am picky!). The service was fantastic not to 'in your face' but polite and courteous. Would I go back again, yes, would I like to take friends, yes. And I would certainly recommend this place again and again!

We went there with family and had a nice meal. I really enjoyed the food and beer.

Great place to eat. Well presented food.

Avoid if you’re booked for bottomless brunch! Me and my friends all booked (6 of us) for my friends 40th on a Saturday afternoon, upon arrival the pub was very quiet, no atmosphere no music, we were seated and given menus and a laminated terms and conditions which sort of set the tone from that point onwards! Your given 90 minutes for “ bottomless” brunch and told drinks can take up to 20mins to arrive during “ busy periods” the drinks also stop 15 mins BEFORE the end of your booking so in reality it’s only 75mins, our drinks were very slow we had to ask the waiting staff for more each time as our glasses were just left empty otherwise and they took a long time to arrive meaning in total we each received 3 drinks for the duration- of which the waiter tried to say we had to pay for the last round as it was outside the allocated brunch time. When we questioned this with the manager we were given the excuse drinks order took longer as they were “ busy” the restaurant had 3 other tables of couples - it was dead. They also ran out of mixers within 60 mins of us being there - as I said we were only a table of 6 having had 2 drinks each in this time so it seemed odd that they ran out. The food was ok pretty standard pub burger limited food options on the menu, the standard brunch package was £27pp or upgrade to £37pp to incl cocktails but the whole party has to upgrade if that was the case. Overall the atmosphere for a Saturday was rubbish no music, unfriendly staff, very strict “rules” and a disappointing experience all round for the price compared to some “chains” that offer a brunch experience. We all felt that they just aren’t set up for offering this and perhaps need to stop! We also had to stay after paying the bill to wait for necessary taxis home and we all overheard the waiting staff loudly commenting in ear shot how we had finished our booking slot and we’re just waiting for us to leave. We weren’t a rowdy table in the slightest and actually given the service were very polite, having worked in hospitality myself the staff were very unprofessional and myself and my friends wouldn’t recommend and won’t be returning - it turned what should have been a nice birthday celebration into a hellish 90 minutes.

A charming little pub, with stunning views and a cozy garden offering plenty of seating. Friendly staff and convenient parking. #PubLife #GardenViews 🏪🍻🌳

The food is amazing. Pies unlike any others - spherical, full of meat and very tasty. The chips are pretty good too!! We just call it the pie pub!!

Fabulous meal again. Rump cap medium rare, chicken pie - all perfect!

Great service and food, highly recommended.

Ellymae played an absolute blinder. Serving the 6 of us. And was a star. Food was lovely. Beer selection good. Everyone we had contact with was pleasant and helpful. Truly recommend. Julian .Trish. Steph Wilf .Hannah and Tom. Thank you all

Some of the best food you will have in the UK!

First time we have been here in quite a while after a bad experience with steak. It was our wedding anniversary . So we thought we will go here as surely the last time was a fluke . How wrong we were. This time I ordered my steak medium well. When I cut in it was pink all the way through with a lot of blood. I told the waitress who took it back . Another waitress brought it straight back out with the menu telling me that it says medium well is slightly pink I said yes but that isn't that's pink all the way through . So they took it back and it was cooked slightly more . When it came back out it was how it was supposed to be. BUT the steak itself was poor quality very gristly . I have been going to the Redgate for many years and have always had great steaks there until this chef came along. When I order medium well it should be slightly pink in the middle not what I got. Ruined yet another anniversary meal . Gave them benefit of the doubt but no won't be going back . Update in response to your response as there's no where to reply . You did not on my previous visit tell me to ask for it to be a little more cooked . I asked for medium well and that is how it should've come out what I got was medium . Second I don't appreciate having a member of staff being sent out by the chef with my meal and the menu to tell me that is what I ordered . I know. Medium well when I see it and that certainly was not. Also when a member of staff came over to ask how my steak was after being rectified I did tell him that the steak was awful that it was full of gristle and hard to chew. I ended up with a bad stomach . Also if I didn't want any pink at all I would've asked for well done I think you need to read your descriptions on your menu again as it states medium well as slight pink mine came out very pink all way through with lots of blood . If you and your chef can't take criticism then you are in the wrong business . As for other family members their reviews are their own and have nothing to do with me and I did not know they had left them so I think bringing that into my review is uncalled for and unprofessional. I never had problems with your steaks until this chef came in they used to be beautiful and I've been going to the Redgate for years . Such a shame. Also looking at your menu it says medium well is supposed to be " dull pink centre " mine came out red throughout with a lot of blood. Which I class as medium rare.

The steak was under cooked. I asked for a medium well steak which came out medium. Roast potatoes were hard beef which should have been medium rare was in fact medium well. The chef does not like criticism I have been eating steak for over 40 years and I know what steak looks like. They sent the waitress over with the menu on how it should be cooked completely different from what it was whatever happened to the customer is always right. I have been eating there for over 13 years but I will never eat there again and also it was our anniversary

Could do with a refurb but staff great and food good

A Pleasant Pub with Some Drawbacks The Royal Redgate Pub offers a generally enjoyable experience, but there are areas where it could improve, leading me to rate it three stars. **Pros:** 1. **Atmosphere:** The pub has a cozy and welcoming ambiance with its traditional decor and warm lighting. It’s a great spot for a relaxed evening. 2. **Service:** The staff is friendly and attentive. They make sure you feel welcome and are quick to respond to requests. 3. **Selection:** The drink menu is impressive, featuring a wide variety of beers, ales, and spirits. There’s something for everyone. **Cons:** 1. **Food Quality:** The food is hit-or-miss. While some dishes are tasty, others are quite bland and do not meet expectations. The menu could benefit from more consistency. 2. **Cleanliness:** The pub could use better upkeep. Some tables were sticky and the bathrooms were not as clean as they should be. **Conclusion:** The Royal Redgate Pub is a decent choice for a night out, especially if you’re looking for a good drink selection and friendly service. However, improvements in food quality, cleanliness, and noise management would enhance the overall experience.

Top steak good beer all reasonable price *****

First visit here and had a nice experience. Food was great and the service just as good. Will be visiting again. 😊

Amazing service really friendly and welcoming . Food was awesome too definitely going back

TBH I think most of our experience was due to being seated at the front of the pub with the only other diners being a couple with an agitated child. Waiting staff seemed focused on main dining area.

I visited on Monday and opted for the homemade chicken pie, the waiter and waitress were both very helpful. The service was great and my food came out hot and in good time. I was also able to take advantage of their current Monday offer. I will definitely be returning.

Nice pork scratchings 😄 friendly staff and great beer

What a superb place to eat. Food was impeccable.

Lovely pub/restaurant and great food, only down fall I would say is some staff seem a-little stressed, so not as welcoming and can be off putting to choose this place again!

Only had a drink here today and it was fairly quiet but it was clean and the host was friendly and polite. Normal prices for drinks and feels really quite nice and welcoming here.

Heard good reports for this place, so I was slightly disappointed with our visit. All I can say is that it is just ordinary. May have been an off day, so I will try again.

Staff welcoming, food good, only downside was price of wine. £26 for a bottle of average Chardonnay. Unacceptable. Spoiled what was otherwise a pleasant experience.

Really nice meal of hock egg and chips

Nice pub and quality of the Sunday roast was great. Would be even better if they could offer vegetarian roast potatoes and an offering of stuffing! But food was so good, would definitely be coming back! Came back and had lunch on a Saturday, great options and tasted great. There seemed to be only one staff member looking after the tables so service was a little slow.

You guys either need to check your food descriptions or update the photos on the website. I ordered the Med pizza, and it was missing half of the toppings. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves, definitely not worth £15.

Good food and staff very helpful

Always a long wait for the meals after ordering

Nice food and excellent service considering there was only one guy doing the bar, welcoming customers, answering phone, taking orders, serving the meals and clearing the tables.

Food was very nice, small glass of wine of £6.30 ridiculous price, would think twice about ordering alcohol with dinner, not worth it

The BEST pies ever! The Royal Redgate is an absolute must for dinner and drinks. The food is delicious, chef Ricky is a genius. The staff always look after you, thank you to Sean and Brandon for making us feel so welcome and cared for!

Burger was dry but the rest was great, little man ate all the pizza so must of been good. Mrs like the camembert too. Took a while even though only us in there. Its always an okay meal just never wows me im afraid.

Excellent food, service and location.... ample parking, highly recommend

There is always an opening statement, and im sure you'll agree you have to go and check it out. "Inside there is a bustling dining room, cosy snugs and a well-stocked bar offering a large selection of gins, draught beers, ales, cocktails, spirits, select wines and fresh ground coffees." "We use only the best local ingredients" by The Royal Redgate. It never amazes me on how a local establishments writes their own reviews! But l have to admit once you walk in it feels warm and looks divine. A modern look to an 18th century pub. You are greeted with a welcoming smile..the staff are plesent and in a modern dressed uniform. So l was slightly excited to try the food that comes with a high standard. As my children have been here before. And l was not disappointed. Read my review, l hope that you attend and enjoy the experience that l also had. Once ordered, food came out as fast as a blink of an eye! The food plated, propositioned and well presented just like a 5✨️ hotel restaurant. Shame l did not take a photo...it was as delicious and divine, just as they state in their script " just like home made food" the taste was out of this world. l can only say the chef must have come from the hotel industry!. If so this establishment has one of the best chefs around. The pastry just melted with every bite, the filling of Stake Ale and Leak again just melted away, the taste unbelievably mouth watering. The stake filled the pastry, there was no room for anything else amazing. The mash well presented, light and just like butter. Blended twice lm sure! It came with a side of greens and again presented to a high standard. And l will say it again 5✨️ Chef, you and your team must be proud of your achievements. Though ordered the Stake pie the rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed all their food also. Amazing. I was pleasantly surprised with your food and fast turnaround with service. Making this birthday an exciting evening. A closing statement by The Royal Redgate. "So whether you are local to Nuneaton and Hinckley, and are looking for a lovely country pub with delicious pub food, a steakhouse, a pizza restaurant or even a gastro pub, come join us soon and enjoy our lovely food and friendly hospitality!" And l couldn't agree more. I will return again, to enjoy and hopefully paralyzing my palate with your divine food.

Ironic that 7 minutes into our booking they were rushing us for a food order and came over 3 times to inform we had to order within first 15 minutes..and then took 45 to bring mains out 🤣 no crackling with pork roast, no stuffing with beef. Overpromised and under delivered.

Had a lovely meal here tonight. We had a mix of menu and specials. The scallop starter was amazing, along with the chicken & risotto. The staff that served us were very friendly, and the table was cleared quickly. Will definitely be returning and certainly recommend

Helpful staff, good food, great service.

Great pies and good selection of food. Dog friendly. Great table service. Reasonable parking and access.

Food was OK, belly pork very greasy thou. Service was slow considering it was very quiet. No background music. No atmosphere at all. Not very special considering it was a birthday meal. Will not be rushing back.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food, lovely pub

Lovely evening with friends. Smashing, well cooked and presented food and excellent service too. Waitress very friendly. Everything clean as one would expect.

Nice place very cosy pub an food looks amazing 👏

The food here is to die for. We had the baked salmon, confit pork belly, and the BBQ burnt ends. It was all amazing. Highly recommend.

Was okay. Wouldn't go out of my way. But the food was very good, nice staff, but a bit expensive for the setting at £14.95 a pie. I'd expect it to have more of a restaurant vibe and a bit more snug, Choices on the menu were very limited, but very tasty. But all in all a good night and I'm probably being harsh, I just expected it to be a bit more up market from the outside, website and menu prices.

Just Amazing! Beautiful Sunday lunch today with friends. Never ever had a bad experience. Absolutely love this place and we always enjoy our visits. Credit to all staff and management.

Had an unscheduled pit stop here after getting a flat tyre. It was around midday and they had a lot of bookings coming in but managed to squeeze us in. Food: For lunch we had some baguettes. Quality 👌👌. Steak was so well cooked and it was so filling. The fact they come with chips is a winner. Had a sharing platter for desert (very good value for money) which was amazing however it did have a hair in it. The staff came over and took the hair from the inside of the cheesecake and examined it- not sure if they thought we planted it. There wasn't an initial apology just an offer to remove from the bill which we agreed as it put us off. There was an apology as we paid the bill however. I'm not sure the gentleman's customer service was the best. I'm not marking them down as it does happen. Wasn't dealt with the best and they were short staffed- service was slow. But overall greatful we had some lovely food and didn't have to sit in the car. We would come back.

Nice place, good food and a decent price with friend staff.

Broke down on my motorcycle on the 26/11/23 Hammering down with rain. Late at night. They allowed me to keep the bike there over night until recovered the next day. Absolute stars. Thank you for your kindness. Lovely Restaurant as well. See you again.

We were booked in for 2 o clock, the food was pre ordered but didn't arrive until 3 o clock.Pork ribs ordered but pork belly was served. One of the pork belly portions was completely fat and not edible.Upon paying I was asked for four pounds extra, I queried this and was charged the correct amount. In all not very good.

Veg was cold and the beef stringy. They didn't have a table booked despite booking and confirming. We went as a group and couldn't sit with them.

We went to this dog friendly pub on a Wednesday night, the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and well worth the money. For 3 course for 2 people we paid around £70 and it was worth every penny!

Beware of the service charge if your over 4 people nearly ended up leaving £25

Food was great, the pies here especially. Nice atmosphere. Good service from emily and ella.

Took visiting family here for a meal. We arrived almost at the end of lunchtime but we were accommodated without fuss and the steak and ale pie was delicious. Will return again.

Had a really nice sunday roast here everything cooked perfectly and tasted great.if i had to complain i would say the meat was abit tough

Really nice pub and staff are great

Nice beers and brilliant pizzas!!

Have a pie! Their homemade pies are just brilliant. Full of filling, pastry is great, yeah, nice.

Found this pub on the A5 after I ended up somewhere near Nuneaton. Friendly staff, great service and good food. I had a Ploughman's Lunch, with generous portions of cheese and ham hock along with pickled onions and a basket of bread, followed by some tasty vanilla, salted caramel and pistachio ice cream. Would go back ... if I could find it again!

Great food, fast service, friendly staff. Good choices for people with food allergies too.

Food was lovely and piping hot. Staff very friendly and the price was good. Would recommend.

First visit in a long time, nice beer garden at the rear with plenty of parking. Inside it seems fine, was busy on the day, drinks a little pricey, but seems to be a decent place in the short stop that we made.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Can't understand why you have to pay extra for mashed potato. Never had that one before. Apart from that really. good lunch.

Cozy, all prepared to welcome children, good food, good beer.

Sunday lunch is highly recommended, the beef was cooked perfectly, very good amount of food, we'll definitely be back

Great find very nice pies home made specialties not much from the outside very good inside 👍

Took the family here for lunch, it was a quiet Thursday so no reservation required. The food is very good, we had viewed the menu on line in advance so knew what we wanted, everything listed was available, it's fresh cooked food which was served in a timely fashion, all the meals were good with 6 empty plates at the end so that's always a good indication. Dessert followed which was also good with a sharing option if required. Usual drinks available and as a Marston's outlet Pedigree beer was on cask. Small car park at the front of the pub adjacent to the A5 road with a much larger car park at the rear on the A444

Really nice place, good food, but unfortunately every time if we come,our wine glasses are dirty, this time, I must clean them from lipstick .

We go there for the pies. The fact that they haven't yet started adding a "voluntary" service charge to the bill is also a credit.

Food was terrible Fly’s everywhere would not recommend Seriously and service was shocking too.

Food was delicious, staff are friendly and helpful and service is alright.

Great thin crispy pizza with a lovely pint of lager

Excellent gluten free wood fired pizza, garlic bread and onion rings. Highly recommend for coeliacs :)

It a shame when you go and it’s not busy having to wait over a hour for your food and when ask what is happening all you get is “ be ready in a minute “ . If you’re hungry don’t bother as the service is just slow

Expensive beer , food nothing special,, sorry 😔 but it's not
