The Shambles in Harborough

I don’t normally do reviews but I feel absolutely ripped of tonight with my meal. I had a giant Yorkshire pudding which I order beef which they ran out of so was left with sausage or chicken, I chose the sausage. When it came it was no bigger than a side plate with 2 sausages a couple of spoonfuls of bland mash potatoes and peas with weak gravy, for £16.75. My partner had a beef and ale pie and the pastry was raw still.

Popped in for a quick lunch as we passed through Lutterworth. Lovely welcome at the Shambles. Traditional pub grub at a reasonable price. Friendly staff who were very helpful.

Limited lunchtime menu, but good options, baguettes, jacket potatoes etc. with good selection of fillings - all the meals we saw served looked great with generous portions. We chose from the lunch club menu and were not disappointed - gammon cooked perfectly followed by yummy deserts. Friendly and welcoming service from Deb at the bar when we arrived (with table guidance), great service from the lovely Savannah, efficient, friendly and a sparkling smile, and food cooked perfectly by Stacey behind the scenes!! Nice surroundings, good atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, lovely staff, will be back

Great food and service! It was the first time we visited the Shambles since the fire and it was like being back at home. Thank you!

Great service from Amalie, Skye, Lottie and Erin. Beautifully cooked Sunday lunch from Zara and Stacey. Clean and pleasant surroundings, very relaxed and civilised. We hadn’t booked so many thanks for slotting us in.

Lunch for 19 last Saturday to celebrate an amazing birthday. Stacey and her team did really well getting 19 main courses on the table at the same time. Thank you to everyone at the Shambles and especially for going the extra mile to decorate the area. A lunch to remember.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, great value, tasty, and big portion! Friendly staff make you feel more than welcome. Desserts are awesome too!!

As always a great experience and the food was as always to a very high standard and the prices are spot on, Stacey the team are a credit to your wonderful pub look for to seeing you again Well done Zara Skye Lottie Erin Callum and Paul

Skye was very friendly, and the steak n ale pie was very nice. Stopped off on way to Heathrow, bar area was very pleasant and bar man was also great

Greater by friendly staff at the bar and the servers are professional aswell as friendly too. Hot tasty food in a wonderful old pub aesthetic.

We have just enjoyed a lovely lunchtime meal in the Shambles, staff and service was great, thank you to Izzy and all the team.

Came to the shambles today for some drinks & the football. Reece on the bar was amazing very attentive and was handy telling me the deals on drinks & shots. Lovely run pub. Didn’t eat but Shannon the chef explained the menu to me so will be definitely returning for food soon enough. Great atmosphere. Will return soon thanks all x

Really good food tasty and a good portion. The service was very good as well. There are 2 different parts to the pub, the restaurant for dining and a separate bar for drinking, decent size carpark and outside area, worth a visit.

Bells favourites menu. Both meals lovely and piping hot, great value for weekday lunch. Stacy the chef serves up piping hot meals on hot plates - spot on. Ash was polite and pleasant thank you.

A delicious roast lunch, everything was perfect, from food to service. We were served extremely quickly and our lunch arrived quickly as well. A good combination of vegetables and the gravy was beautiful. I had the chocolate indulgence dessert, which was so good, the chocolate brownie pieces mixed with the ice cream were delicious. We will certainly be going back. Highly recommended.

Good hearty Sunday carvery & pleasant staff. Table service. New rotating local beer each week. Historic building with thatch roof.

So from the outside it looks awesome, so in we go...small menu which is normally a good sign that the emphasis is on quality. The very pleasant bar maid said the food would be 20mins or so as the young chef who's name was "babe" and resembled Edward scissorhands was busy, the salmon looked like a good option so we went with that. It took over an hour to arrive so I naturally assumed the salmon was line caught and prepared fresh, it appeared at our table in what I can only describe as a puddle of lemon flavoured seaman, a few wrinkled new potatoes a tiny bowl of peas and lettuce leaves. It really was the funniest thing ever, I was horrendous haha. My beautiful girlfriend was nearly sick in my car, it really made my day...best £26 I've ever spent.

Slow service, food is rubbish and staff seemed like they didn’t care. Took well over a hour to get our food Pub itself dated but in a nice way I suppose and good location but do not come her for a meal

Called in just for a drink, we had read some bad reviews about the place and the staff but we had no problem the beer was good mid priced and the staff were polite and helpfull. Couldn,t ask for any more. Thanks

Unfortunately our experience in this pub wasn’t great. The staff were rude and unfriendly. We ordered our drinks and the waitress got one of the drinks wrong, we ordered vodka and lemonade but we were given a vodka and coke. We told her it was wrong and not what we had ordered, she defensively asked what we wanted her to do about it! It was rude. Not wanting to cause any drama, we accepted the vodka and coke, but we left after one round. The pub wasn’t warm and welcoming like you would have thought from the outside.

While parking to lunch nearby midweek we saw a big sandwich board advertising veggie, vegan & gluten free menus & tried The Shambles. We were served promptly by the friendly helpful assistant manager. Omelettes & vegan chilli were served with home made chips. Good pub grub elevated by choice & friendly service. Pleased to see a Sunday lunch menu for dogs too, so we’ll be back with the dog

Lovely meal with the family as long as you are not a vegetarian, my starter was lovely. 10/10 the main course......I asked for the vegetarian carvery option....my veggie sausages and gravy arrived after I had finished my vegetables, and 6 people had already finished eating, I never got got the glass of water I asked for 3 times. Dessert/pudding was advertised as brandy snaps with cream fresh fruit and ice cream. The ice cream was obviously forgotten. We paid and left couldn’t really be bothered to spoil family time with attempting to find out why my lunch was made so difficult.

Prices are reasonable and there is a wide choice of drinks. Be aware that it can get very busy at the weekends and very full.

And being honest, it’s a bit like it’s name when it’s busy. Slow service, low quality food. You get what you pay for sadly.

Four of us went for dinner here, we booked a table for 6pm. It's advisable to ring and book as it's very popular. The food is lovely and the prices are reasonable. They have very good service too. The staff are accommodating and friendly. They also have 5 newly refurbished rooms, so you can stay there if you like, prices are good. We would recommend this and will definitely be going again.

Well.... it was okay, the food that came wasn't the best, but it wasn't too bad. Service was okay, a little slow.

We stopped here on the way up the M1. This place is 2 minutes off junction 20, and so much better than a service station! We had a lovely carvery for under a tenner. The choice included chicken, beet,lamb shank, and chicken wrapped in bacon and Slilton sauce. There was an excellent vegetarian / vegan menu, too. Lovely people, slightly chaotic service, but well worth a visit 👍

06th October 2019 Where to start...... From the outside the place looks awesome. A lovely market town pub on a Sunday afternoon, offering a carvery, with parking directly opposite on the nearby square, We approach the bar and order a pint of Carling and a black coffee. Coffee freshly made and pleasant, Carling awful and flat. 2 x Carverys ordered. Blackboard showing a choice of 4 meats offered Beef, Lamb shank (£1.50 extra), Pork & Chicken breast. We approach the server, 'pork or beef' she asks, is there chicken by any chance please, no sorry that's all gone. No problem. Looking at the options the scraggy piece of beef left would probably have made a good spare belt so we chose to go with the pork! A generous helping of pork served. Would you like carrots and green beans we are asked (sorry i thought we were at a carvery where you normally help yourself to veg), the watery carrots and beans dished up we are told to then help ourselves to the other delights!! Roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and mash potato with a shop bought 16 for a £1 Tesco value Yorkshire pudding to finish it off with. Can't wait!! Half a dozen roasts go on the plate, a couple of pieces of cauli, a dollop of mash and a 5p Yorkshire followed by a ladel of gravy that required world arm wrestling biceps to even stir. A so we begin....Roast potatoes inedible. So overcooked there was no potato left in the middle. Thank God there was no pork crackling!! If the roast potatoes where anything to go by you would have needed teeth like Jaws from Moonraker to get through it! Cauliflower sauce consistency of milk with no taste and they must have bought the mash from Homebase in the wall paper paste section. We've eaten out all over the world and had lots of carveries and this was definitly the WORST one EVER!

Good food and drinks. Attentive service. Food a little slow to arrive but well worth waiting for. Good selection of meals for all choices. Paldies.... Latvian for "thank you" to our waitress.

First visit and will be our last. Went for lunch and it took over an hour to arrive. Not a huge order and everyone was disappointed by the long delay for food. When it arrived the food was ok but customer service was non existent and other customers were handled particularly poorly.

My Partner and I recently had a meal here, more of a snack, as we had a sharing platter which was great value for money. We both had a drink . The service was very good, and because we say in the Restaurant, it was quiet. The pub can become very noisy in the Bar at times.

We came with a group of friends and were struck by house expensive the food was. We had a buffet and it was mostly made up of frazzles, cheese puffs and chicken nuggets. The music was very loud and not to our taste, you were unable to hear yourself think at some intervals. The local people in the pub were somewhat unfriendly to outsiders and when they became drunk the atmosphere became menacing.

If you want a good fish and chips go here a propper job nice big portions happy days!! Will definitely go back when we're visiting friends

Had our evening meal and night out here whilst staying locally. Beatiful meal. Great value for money. Friendly staff, lovely welcoming pub

Quite a ride range of choice at reasonable prices and a good range of drinks as well. The restaurant is separate from the pub area which can be a bit noisy at times. A good place to go for a drink and it also has accommodation - about 5 rooms.

This was probably the worst pub dining experience we’ve ever had. My wife and I ordered Cod & chips and Chicken & bacon salad. The food was tasteless and poorly cooked. It was like it has been stored in a freezer for years then cooked in a microwave. When we complained, there was no apology, they went behind the bar, started shouting and swearing and we were made to feel very unwelcome. Don’t waste your money on this place. Not even Gordon Ramsey could turn it around. What a hole! I wouldn’t even give it one star.

Ordered a lunch off the black board menu. Italian chicken with salad and chips option. Waited over 45 minutes to get my lunch. Even people who ordered after mine got food first. Finally complained and told it's cooked fresh and a few minutes wait. Really 45 minutes to cook fresh chicken! Food arrived looked fine. Since with chicken was a mild curry sauce nothing Italian about chicken. Tasted good but whole experience was a dissapointment. No apology given for late service with only 3 dinners in pub. Dissapointment service level. Zero.

We went to the Shambles for a family lunch with relatives that live nearby. We were very impressed with the standard of customer service and the quality of the food. Everything was freshly cooked and piping hot and the price was very reasonable as well. I would recommend this pub to anyone.

Following the remembrance day service we decided to eat here to save cooking Sunday lunch at home. We can honestly say it was the worst meal we have ever had eating out. The food was tough stringy and tasteless and some vegetables were boiled to death while others were not even cooked through. The chicken had been boiled and then dry roasted with no fat and no seasoning. The gravy was solid and could be cut into squares. It was absolutely dreadful and a complete waste of our time and money.

This place though friendly enough is suitable for any one who wants to flop down after a night at the bar. Breakfast time is flexible too which is ideal for anyone who is hung over and prone to brunch as the landlord is very accommodating. There are also free parking spaces in the vicinity of the building.

Visited for a meal with my wife while waiting to collect daughter. Arrived at 19.45 to be told by owner that they were busy until 20.30. Fine we will have a drink first. His words were “don’t worry I won’t forget you”. Sadly he did and at 20.45 I enquirer at the bar to told its ok just sit anywhere and we can take your order. That we did but the people on the next table had waited for an hour with no food. Ours arrived at 21.40 and quality overall was mediocre. The only waitress working was friendly but it really was a Shambles. We will never return and told later by locals that there are much better places to eat. Avoid if you can

I was over in England for a celebration and because we all are from far and wide in the East Midlands this pub is always our go to meeting place.

We hadn't visited the area before, but found this place through google maps! Great little find! It's a beautiful building and staff were really welcoming. There's a fantastic menu to choose from and the food was really good! We will definitely be visiting the area and will be sure to return for a meal and possibly a stop over!

A friendly pub serving excellent food, what more can i say? Staff always helpful and the menu is wide selection of one cooked food at a fair price.

Four of us called in here for a meal Bank Holiday weekend. The place was very busy and we could only see a table for two. Straight away a member of staff said they would sort it and appeared with another table.

What a lovely building on the outside but OMG what a Shambles !!!! Marston pub of the year still displayed and that was in 2014, take it down guys we are mid 2018. Decor is horendously out of date and the place has a musty smell inside and I strongly recommend not going in Summer as the body odour is rife. The place needs a massive revamp and the existing staff a strong boot out, absolutely no idea what customer service is to be blunt is a breeding ground for inbreds. Many better places to drink in Lutterworth, well all are better IMHO.

A very good menu with excellent food. I had the steak and ale pie which was delicious. Great selection of drinks and very friendly staff.

We stopped in at this pub on the way back from tank driving. What a great place! We all had a main meal and a drink. The food was fresh and homecooked. It was delicious! I would recommend this place and if in the area would go again. The staff were brilliant and very friendly x

We had booked into a nearby Bed and Breakfast after a long drive and on recommendation, walked up to this pub for dinner. What a pleasure! After a warm welcome we enjoyed excellent service and a very delicious meal. Well done, The Shambles, you were the highlight of our overnight stay in Lutterworth!!

It's a lovely cosy pub I've been for a drink a few times but this was the first time I tried the food. My husband had a filled Yorkshire pudding which he quite enjoyed, however I had a rather disappointing hot pot. The potatoes were fried slices of potato that had obviously not been cooked with the hotpot so effectively chips! The best part of hot pot is when the potato soaks up some gravy and then goes crispy on top so this was a disappointment. The meat part was very tasty but this came with some bread and no vegetables so it felt like it was samey and lacking something. I believe there was once some carrot in The hot pot but it had most dissolved during cooking. I would eat here again but would make very different choices next time.

Called in hadn’t booked but we were offered a table in the bar,had the Carvery Excellent meal desserts great.We were served very quick and We found it a very friendly pub Stacy the manager very friendly as were the other staff and locals will return

Great welcome and although we had not booked on a busy Easter Sunday, we were found a table and served our drinks almost immediately. The warm family atmosphere combined with super fresh tasty carvery at extremely reasonable price, made this a real winner. Pub grub menu also looks interesting and extremely good value. Many of the dishes confirmed by our hostess as homemade.

My wife and I decided to try The Shambles for our evening meal while in the area on business. There were quite a few others dining (always a good sign) and a cheerful crowd on liquids. We chose the restaurant side, which had only one other table occupied - a jolly band of mature ladies.

Had many good meals in the Shambles. But what has happened to the steak and ale pie, used to be one of my favourites with lovely crisp pastry, but the last 2 I had were just horrible soggy pastry, obviously done in the microwave!!! We wont be going back in a hurry.

We went here on the off chance that we could get a meal for 7adults and 5 children the people there were great they moved things around and got us 2tables together crayons for the little ones and the food was lovely we all had the carvary it was piping hot and very tasty staff were really nice and attentive would highly recommend

Was invited to a private function on a saturday evening in the pub Staff are very friendly here and the beer is ok and a fair price The buffet was very nice and good selection,,,, worth a visit

Nice public house with a good range of bar meals. Good location with parking available. Friendly staff with good service.

It is a lovely thatched roofed pub/restuarant. upon entering we were greeted with a lovely clean place with beams upon the ceiling. it seemed to be rustic in areas with a modern twist. was shocked that at 1pm it was empty. The staff appeared polite too. It is a family run place and a lot of love seemed to have gone into it. we ordered the salmon and my gosh it didnt disappoint. it was lovely tasty very well presented, i am shocked they didnt have more customers at that time of the day the prices were very reasonable. i would defo suggest a visit. you wont be disappointed.

Warm welcome, good 'pub grub' and a few hand pulled ales. Was a very pleasant lunch stop while visiting family in the town. Would be content to return.

Popped in for an early evening meal...good choice on the menu, very reasonable prices, not spectacular but certainly value for...

Visited as an ad hoc unplanned event On arrival, clearly a yokel local place Ordered drinks and two mains Nothing...

I've just read a few of the one star reviews on here and I'm wondering if these people actually visited...

Went in here on 29th july and the name is correct the place is a shambles, sticky tables covered in salt, the only pub I have ever been in where the main attraction was the chase on the TV, so loud you could hardly have a conversation, went to go into the restaurant side but there was a group who obviously thought they owned the place as when we went to walk in they were all stood round blocking the way and didnt even attempt to move out of the way, will not be going back, even the pork scratching were off

Hemos estado en el desastre antes y tenía un precio razonable. Comida. Para ser justos, mi marido tenía el pescado y patatas fritas y eso estuvo bien. Él no pide guisantes pasada pero conseguimos guisantes ordinario. Yo tenía el pastel fue horrible la pastelería era pasada y comestible. Creo que había sido calentado en el microondas. Pastelería necesita ir Shortcrust en el horno y salen firmes. No había nadie para mostrarnos una mesa así que al final nos sentamos. El servicio fue bueno, pero el personal no parecía muy a menudo, así que si querías algo tenías que ir al bar. No volveré de nuevo.

Pre-boda. Hemos tenido nuestra cena de Navidad. En ambas ocasiones las mesas estaban bien vestidos. La comida es excepcional. Increíble casa fayre caliente de la más alta calidad. Gran tamaño de las porciones a precios muy razonables. Los propietarios dar el servicio de personal de primera clase. Nada es nunca ningún problema. Puedo recomendar este hotel lo suficiente

Food was terrible, staff were rude and toilets were used for taking drugs. Left in a hurry and will not return

walked in ,a few people in the bar a few at a table and a guy waiting to pay for his meal, asked if we could eat, sat down at the table. the other tables had not been cleared from earlier.asked about ingredients, so ordered, now I don't mind waiting for food it normally means it's going to be fresh not something hanging around, but would have expected to be asked if we wanted a drink....after about half an hour hubby went to the bar, he came back with his drink said my tea was being made, after 10mins still no tea,but the meal arrived(no-one had cleared the dirty tables)asked about the tea,the waitress then apologised and finally recieved the drink. only been there three quarters of an hour, wasn't asked about desert so hubby paid the bill and we left never to go there ever again

Popped in for some lunch and it really was fantastic. Home made chips were amazing! Meat was cooked to perfection. Friendly staff. Approx 35 min wait for food but it was worth it. Thinking of going back there 2moro for Sunday carvery.

I looked around Lutterworth for somewhere to eat and a few of the places reviewed didn't look open?I went to the shambles as it looks inviting from outside and I fancied some Pub Grub. The staff were nice and friendly and there was a great deal of choice in the menu and on the specials board. I had the prawn cocktail to start with and the fish pie for main.The prawn cocktail arrived nice and quickly and was delicious. The fish pie followed and was great. The next night I looked around again but I was drawn back to the shambles and had a great meal again.

Went to this pub in between a visit to see relatives at the local hospital on the 23/04/2017 we hadn't booked a table but the girl in charge was able to accommodate us at short notice , all the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful , we ordered our drinks and food at the bar and then shown to our table . We were very pleased with how well everything was organised with all meals arriving at the same time , we didn't have to wait to long either , I had the carvery , a plentiful choice of meats and all the accompaniments were fresh and hot , the rest of the gang ordered from the main pub menu , needless to say all plates went back empty , 2 of us had desserts which were also delicious, the total bill for 2 rounds of drink , 4 mains and 2 desserts amounted to £55 , we think excellent value for money and can certainly recommend a trip here . Thank you to all concerned . Andy

We dropped in to this very nice pub for lunch early in the week. It was early and only a few people in, but it soon became busier. The food was excellent. I had Lamb Hotpot. My husband had the Beef lasagne. Both were very good. The portions were better than many. The lasagne came with garlic bread AND chips, most unusual, but it served to fill a hungry chap. My Hotpot was plentiful with the potatoes on top and a huge hunk of bread. I couldn't eat it all.We will be back with other friends some day soon without a doubt.

21 of us at 1pm.. birthday get together.. they sorted all with no issues. Food was excellent.. environment was perfect. Service was spot on.. thankyou all. D.NIMMO.

We have eaten Sunday Lunch here before in January, it was so good we had to go again! Didn't disappoint, delicious food, friendly efficient service and plentiful portions on the Carvery. Loved it! Will be back again Sue and Al

Popped in after phoninig to book. Couldnt get an exact time but that was ok because the staff were brilliant! Had drinks and waited until a table became vacant. All of the staff were super and kept us up to speed on table availability.We enjoyed the Sunday Carvery - one course. The roasts were perfect and you help yourself to veg roasts and stuffing. Food quality and temperatures were very good too. Good thick gravy.The building is very historic, low beams and the interior is in keeping with the buildings age.There's also a full menu with dessertsIt was most definitely worth the 40+ mile round trip to dine and i will definitely return!

Nice friendly traditional English pub. Not a wide range of ales but enough for a stop before a wedding at Lutterworth Town Hall.

After initially being let down by another restaurant just off the aeroplane roundabout, we took a group decision (there were 11 of us) to give this pub a try.Pub: Very traditional with room for drinkers and room for diners. Warm and welcomingStaff: Really hospitable, accommodated our party of 11 with a bit of shuffling around which included an 18 month old. Very attentive in cleaning the high chair for us, checking on us throughout and the landlady even brought crayons/colouring book to our son to keep him occupied. Nice touch greatly appreciated.Food: A good choice of the usual carvery meats and veg. All cooked to a good standard and in no short supply. The gravy was delicious! everything was piping hotSummary: First experience of the carvery here and it was a very positive one. Hats off to the staff for their attention and was largely a good reflection on why they achieved Marstons 'Pub of the year'

Good food, really nice staff always cheerful, nicely decorated and comfortable rooms, in nice small town

Ate here with friends on a quiet Monday lunchtime. Restaurant room was clean, tidy and pleasantly warm with background heat. Small but sufficient choice of well tapped real ales and lagers, pleasant service from bar and waiting staff. Menu covered a good range from sandwiches and lite bites to substantial sized roast with veg. Fish and chips were lovely, large piece of cod with what looked and tasted like homemade chips. Roast chicken came with stuffing, mash and 3 fresh veg, all reasonably priced. Would happily return.

Popped in here for lunch and loved the lay out of the place. There's an area for everyone and the staff were very helpful from taking the food order to the delicious meals we were served up in no time at all.The place was quite lively for a mid week post Christmas visit and looking forward to revisiting again at the next earliest convenience. There's a lot to be said for these traditional Pubs and Lutterworth have several which are equally as good.

This is a Marston's pub, so the beer and the menu are fairly predictable. It's perfectly OK, the food is tasty enough but there's no real atmosphere, at least there wasn't while I was there. They have a dish called 'surf, turf and cluck' which amused me - scampi, steak and chicken. It was tasty and plentiful - good value for money.

Good food with friendly service. Beer is good. Had a great Christmas dinner and recommend the EPA. Easily managed a table for 13.

Had a drink here before going to an Italian we had booked for dinner, lovely building and would have stayed here but they were fully booked when I was looking. Nice and lively with both bar and separate eating area.

Seven of us ate and although had a bit of a wait food was really good. Staff have excellent sense of humour - they had to have with us!

If you are a local and stand in the side bar not the front you get served whatever, even when you have been standing for 10 mins and they come in 5mins after you, I'm sure this pub could be so much better, and how it won Marston pub of the year God only knows and he isn't telling anyone else

Turned up without booking, only one other table of 4 in the restaurant so not a problem. Ordered the food along with a pint of lager and a pint of diet coke. Coke arrived as a half! Starters of prawn cocktail great, the t-bone steak was ordered medium, it was so rare a vet could have revived it! The scampi ordered with garden peas and chips, chips uncooked and peas similar! Steak was sent back but they said that was the last steak and so removed from the bill. Nothing done about the scampi despite only eating a few scampi, as felt bad my partner hadn't eaten and the rest of the meal was below standard! Had to query the bill as was also charged for a pint of coke! Will never go back again nor would we recommend anyone to go there! Supposed to be a table of 8 booked in as we left...... only hope that no-one wants a steak!!

people who work there are great and the food was really good value for money and mostly site made for the first time we ate in the bar and not the seated table area as it was so busy and had to leave as the language of some of the customers was too much for us to enjoy the evening

Might be a bit biased as this is my local, but I see the people flocking in to eat award winning food. This is a proper family run pub with a great friendly atmosphere. Well kept ale, home made food. Just what you need.

I found this pub on the internet as we needed somewhere for 8 adults, one child and a dog to eat. We booked in advance.The pub looks lovely outside from the front, with its thatched roof and beams. There's a little beer garden at the back but when we were there you wouldn't have wanted to sit there unless you were a smoker.We had drinks at the bar and took them to our table. Our orders were taken quickly but then it was a different story. Each main course was brought out one at a time, and one of our party was left without his meal for quite a while after the rest of us had been given ours. One order was incorrect and was sent back to be changed. My husband had asked for a medium steak but it was overcooked so he sent that back - even when it came back it wasn't much better. I had the pork shank, but it was very fatty on the outside and the meat itself was quite dry. The portions were all a good size, though.Some of us had desserts, which were generally better. I had a cappucino instead but it was more like a cup of hot milk, whereas my cousin had coffee that he said he could stand his spoon up in!We wouldn't go back.

Popped in without booking on a Saturday night... Had to wait a few minutes for a table but not long.. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Decent pub food.. Partner had lamb shank and I opted for fish and chips .... Not gastro pub but not the price either... Good quality food for a very fair price. 2 main meals and 2 drinks came to £21 ! A place to go if you want feeding and a drink. Note they stop serving food at 9 though.

We had a couple of nice pints in the Shambles. Very busy and friendly pub.Its nice to see that it continues to be dog friendly

Late Saturday afternoon, we were looking for a decent beer and some good down to earth pub grub. What we found easily met our expectations. Friendly Staff welcoming and hospitable despite the fact that they were just 'recovering' from the aftermath of a large 93rd Birthday Party. A nice pint of Ruddles on draft a menu with good choice all set the visit on the right path. Two Prawn Cocktails, an excellent Beef Lasagne, a Sirloin and all the trappings all hit the spot.Just a need to get the steak cooking right as medium rare came more than 'well done'. All in all however very enjoyable, we recommend a visit.

Went into the shambles the other day and staff were drinking behind the bar and seemed drugged out of there faces not a great imagine for a pub when the food is amazing and homemade .This pub could be the best pub in Lutterworth if it sorted out the staff and the underage out .

Booked a table for dinner as staying in the area on our travels. Very nice meal, lovely staff and although it was quiet we were well attended too when needed but left to eat etc in peace. level of attentiveness just right for us. Good selection of ales on tap.

This pub is truly dreadful staff are rude and aragant food was awful and the lines for the beer could do with cleaning once in a while highly recommend no one goes there

We hadn't booked a table, but as it was a flyby visit they kindly accommodated us in the restaurant, before the next booking arrived. The food was fresh, and also lovely and hot. Beautiful selection of meats & wonderful cauliflower cheese, and also leeks in a cheese sauce. Yummy!!! Highly recommended, but I would book as it seemed very popular.

Homely feel, good selection of beers and sky sports. Food plentiful and a wide variety - typical pub food. I noticed that it was the Marston's 2015 Pub of the Year which it advertises very well. Great for a pit stop, an evening with friends or wanting to watch that match.Decor needs updating.

The Shambles has a lovely atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the food was great. We had a sandwich lunch, I went for the steak and onion baguette which was superb washed down with Hobgoblin beer that was equally as good. I'd recommend this place in heartbeat.

Visited with my brother and his girlfriend and felt very welcomed by the friendly staff. Sat by the fire with a pint and chips, happy days! Homemade chips were really tasty and good selection of drinks available.

We had just travelled some distance and needed a quick bite to eat so stopped at the Shambles as it said 'Pub of the Year' outside. We ordered our food and drinks, my partner was asked to wait while they checked they had enough of the food he wanted, they soon returned and said that was fine. After 30 minutes I asked how long the food would be, they again checked and said they are just starting it now and it would be about 5-10 mins. After 5-10 mins a woman came over and said they had run out of the food my partner had requested and asked if he could choose something else, which he did, (even though they were suppose to of starting cooking it and it was meant to be available) The woman also said you were told there was a delay...which we were not!! Well the meals came, we both had the Seafood platter which was preprepared battered fish bits, (one bit was nice the rest disappointing) overdone chips, salad garnish, peas and tartar sauce. There was a lot of it but it wasn't appetising! The meal came nearly an hour after we ordered it! We were offered a complimentary drink as we had to wait so long. The meal we had to reorder was cheaper than the original, as we weren't offered the difference I had to go and ask for the money as the meal was already paid for...not good service!

We'd heard that this pub did good food and had won awards so decided to visit for a Friday lunch. The décor and atmosphere were nice so we looked forward to enjoying a good meal. We were served by friendly helpful staff, and had a good G&T! We chose the battered cod and chips, however we were very disappointed in the dish that was presented to us. The fish was obviously pre frozen in batter, (the sort that is made by a famous company and often oven cooked), not freshly battered and deep fried. The batter was certainly not home made, which we had expected. The chips were good, on the other hand, and did appear to be home made. Small (and somewhat pointless) salad garnish, and average mushy peas made for an average overall meal. Ok, but not in a rush to return
