The Three Nuns in Charnwood

Absolutely fantastic staff, fantastic food and an accommodating landlord made our trip perfect. Highly recommended

Loved this place, popped in with my wife once and also by myself after a long train journey before heading home. Very impressed with the manager (well I think he was) asked if he had any single malt whisky for a dram and he knew his stuff, and it was extremely reasonable pricewise which was a nice surprise (I tend to expect whisky to be more expensive in England compared to Scotland but has not been the case since I've moved) Beer and Lager really good, Tap's obviously looked after, and had the vibe of well natured regulars. Will be back

Thank you so much for wonderful food. We have been coming in for the past few weeks about 3 times a week..perfect..you cantbetter than this place! Tammy and Kath c

Visiting Loughborough but know it. Straight off the bus and into the Nuns at lunchtime for a quick drink. Serving a superb Everard pint of Old Original. Then fancied food as the pub was relaxed and very clean. Prices & options good, food superb too. Friendly helpful staff. Had a2 similar meal and drinks in The Wetherspoons recently, this cost under £3 more. No contest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THE THREE NUNS.

Standard pub grub, made well, at pre-pandemic prices - absolutely no complaints from me! It's a long way from fine dining, but if you just want a filling simple meal this is better quality than a 'spoons, with a friendly atmosphere to boot.

I use the Nuns regularly and never once have I been made to feel unwelcome. The staff are great, very friendly and polite. The beers are good and well looked after. The food is always a very high standard. Great place with a great atmosphere.

Friendly, welcoming staff as alway's . Food is delicious & very good portion size . A wide range of drinks available .

Recommended by one of the staff at The Great Central Railway. My daughter and I had the most fantastic Sunday lunch (lamb). Very reasonable pricing , other happy customers, friendly service, good sized car park and great atmosphere.

Fish was burnt outside not cooked inside, no argument full refund. Chilli beef never had garden peas as part of a chilli meal, not alot of chili. Pubs need to now the difference between fries and chips, don't advertise chips and give fries , try champs there fish n chips is excelkent

Wonderful atmosphere with friendly staff . Food is delicious offering a variety of different food on the menu including a children's menu , the portion size's are really good & a great choice of drinks for all .

This is a good honest pub. Good quality unpretentious food at a sensible price, beer well kept and service friendly. What's not to like? I stay in Loughborough about once a month and nearly always eat here. Always great value.

My husband and l have just had a lovely relaxing meal in the three Nuns Loughborough. I had chicken in a black bean sauce, rice, peas, chips + salad £8.95. My husband had a large gammon, egg & pineapple, peas chips + salad. £9.95. If you like large portions it was very large. We then had lemon roulade, cream and ice cream £3.75 and he had jam roly poly cream and ice cream£3.75, so reasonable. I would definitely visit again. Thanks to the staff and cook.

Wonderful, excellent friendly service . Meals delicious with generous portions , I highly recommend a Sunday roast although the other meals are just as delicious & very good value for money . The staff have always been friendly, polite & welcoming every time I have visited .

We had brilliant food with excellent service for Mothers Day Really recommend the pub Great atmosphere and our dog was allowed We will be back Diane Nick and Tia Morris from Nottingham

We had lamb shanks, would lip highly recommend , enjoyed them so much went back a few weeks later, for a second helping.

The Sunday lunch was as good as usual. The Lamb shank was tasty and well cooked. Home cooked meal and no washing up Thanks

Excellent Sunday Lunch, good choice of meats, nice staff, would highly recommend. Outside seating and a car park.

Really helpful staff. Great pub, limited outdoor space so get there early as it appears to be very popular.

We always pop here for either Sunday lunch or a family get together and it never ever disappoints us! Brilliant price and amazing food always!

Very generous quantities of delicious sandwiches, pork pie and excellent value for money. Unlimited teas and coffees all provided with a very warm welcome and a friendly service. It was more than we could eat so they even packed up what was left so we could eat it on the bus trip back. As organiser I would throughly recommend them. PS they also do smashing fish and chips!

7 of us booked a table to eat everyone had different all arrived at the same time look out for the specials on the bar as you go in

A group of 28 visited The Three Nuns for lunch as part of a visit to Taylor's Bell Foundry in Loughborough. We had a limited time for lunch - we had pre-ordered and the pub came up trumps with speedy, efficient service and delicious food. This was appreciated by all.

We were in a group of 27 here for what turned out to be a great lunch. We didn't hear a single complaint. We had pre-booked our meals but these covered the whole menu so we were well pleased when every one had a piping hot meal in front of them in the space of less than 10 minutes, from our arranged time. The service was good and the food wonderful and at very reasonable prices. We particularly enjoyed our Surf and Turf, Steak beautifully cooked, a real plateful of a meal.

Went recently to see a band called XL but they weren't on. There was another band on who were ok and the venue was good with friendly staff and decent beer. Will try again in the future.

Lovely place to go for Sunday lunch, very friendly staff, nice food and good beer. Nice surroundings and a wide variety of drinks offered.

Nice clean well run pub. We had a real ale and it was as it should be. Pub has been opened out and painted since we were last in. It's been done sympathetically. It was a Sunday afternoon so a bit quiet but not bad at all and I'm glad we went in.

Nine of us from kids to pensioners went today for Sunday lunch. Five choices of meats, with veg and roasties. Friendly staff. Nothing is toomuch trouble. Nice puds too. Come free with the kids meals. If you like proper pub food, you won't go wrong here.

I love this pub!Traditional pub food,great prices and portion sizes. Always greeted with a smile, especially from Sam the barmaid.The staff are always helpful and friendly. Saturday nights are a must!! Live band on every Saturday night and it's free entry! Yes FREE entry!! How many places do you know that put on live music and don't charge you to get in? For those that complain about the size of the pub, frankly you want your bumps feeling! Size really isnt everything... I personally am more than happy to go out alone and head to the Nuns... the regulars always make you feel welcome and there is such a great atmosphere in there. In short I would always recommend the Three Nuns whether it's for lunch and a good old gossip with your friends or a rock solid night of beer, banter and live music on a Saturday night. You can't go wrong!!

this family orientated pub,serves an excellent dish,excellent value for money,the staff are most helpful, and would like to thank them for being most helpful

Good pub for live music but needs updating.

Been here twice. First time great with good music and atmosphere. Second time very average music and lacking atmosphere

We called in for lunch on a very hot day and enjoyed cool drinks while we waited. The pub make a point of warning that they don't serve fast food and it was certainly worth the wait for our dishes. The chicken and bacon salad came with a large quantity of meat and the carbonara covered the plate before the 4 pieces of garlic bread were added.

Taylor's Bell Foundry - 5 mins walks away - recommended the Three Nuns for a pub lunch. A classic burger and a BLT with cheese topping both came with a generous salad and coleslaw. Service was welcoming and the meals were served promptly.

I think is the best pub to have good food while enjoying some pints. Great sort of pub food. GOod prices and good service.

Great music 🎶🎵 vibe👌🔊. Friendly staff 👏😊, good glass of red wine🍷and alcohol free lager🍻.... We will making this a regular haunt...

We came here for lunch as part of a group, before a trip round Taylors' bell foundry which is a short walk away. The food was excellent and extremely good value for money. The beer was good too!

Pub tradicional inglés amplio y con variedad de cervezas. Buenas opciones de comida ( sopa, hamburguesas, sandwiches, carne, pasta...). Buena relación calidad precio. Personal amable y con buen servicio.

Visited with friends for a drink on Saturday evening. Great atmosphere and quick service. Music started at 9 and was good

We popped in for lunch and were informed there may be a wait as there were some large parties in. Wasn’t an issue and the heads up was appreciated.

Having heard & read excellent reviews of the Three Nuns, we opted to give it a go. Food was excellent. My wife ad her favourite, cod & chips and I had lasagne with salad & garlic bread. Never had garlic bread like it, a small baguette, cut into four and loaded with garlic sauce. Fantastic! Both servings were ample, so much so, that neither of us could finish them. Value for money, it has to be said. The only downside was that the plates were stone cold. Can't say if this was a one off, but a fault easily corrected. Would definitely go again.

Sunday Roast Service and food very good reasonable prices and plenty on the plate. Would fully recommend

Had to pop in just because of the name. Served great ales with lots of choice. Husband recommends salvation. Friendly staff Had a weird experience with a lady sitting in toilet with door wide open doing her business

We were a group of 8 booked in for Sunday lunch. The staff are very friendly and the roast beef was tender and beautiful. I was very disappointed that having asked the barman for mash potato and roast potato with my meal I received new potatoes instead. This was really disappointing for me, I felt I wasn't able to properly enjoy the meal with my family and only ended up eating beef, veg and Yorkshire pudding this didn't fill me up at all!

Good drinks and service but the standout was the food. Six cyclists with large appetites and an eye for a bargain ordered lunch and we all were impressed with both the quality and value. Happy to recommend and would return.

My wife and I went to The Three Nuns for lunch today.

This pub is slightly out of central Loughborough, and perhaps all the better for it. The decor is 'old-wood comfortable', service is excellent and the choice of beers/ciders/wines is wide-ranging. There is a lovely, laid back and uncrowded garden out the back.

Great pub excellent food always good service from Karen and the team in a brilliant location two minutes from the town centre .

went out with girlfriends in the middle of the week, great food at great prices, most of the tables were booked we found a table but was asked to move as we would have been in the middle of the darts match but they had reserved a table for us, very friendly staff

Traditional pub with great food and staff. Food is great value for money and portions generous. Excellent for a family meal also has live bands on a weekend.

Fantastic menu, Cheerful staff and amazing beer. Family and dog friendly too. Locals make you feel welcome. Good value for money.

Don’t understand the great reviews. Landlord was rude and unwelcoming. Took an instant dislike to us as we sat down. Too busy sitting with betting mates to be polite. Can’t say anything about the food as we left. Beyond rude.

Nice clean friendly pub ,. Very busy from opening time ,many people had good , was with a friend before caught train back ,ordered pint Guinness each ,I ordered roast beef ,nmy friend ordered roast chicken ,there were five choices of meats which I thought was great , did not have long to wait for meal to come , we were presented with two brimming to the edge plates of food !! Nic had a half roast chicken ,the beef was nice thick slices and so tender ,got lashings of gravy ,mash potato ,roast potato, Yorkshire pudding ,three veg,lovely flavour but had to leave few veg and little bit of mash ,for£6-95 excellent value ,Def be back and recommend. Total for all we had was £22

A telephone call for directions and when we arrived landlord had reserved us a table ready to eat. Large car park but fairly full. Excellent food and generous portions. Well kept beers. A busy and hospitable town centre pub, close to Taylors famous foundry but what is more to want? Aston Villa Landlord to boot!

Having visited many times before we knew what to expect when we paid a Wednesday evening visit to this pub. Its a pity that Everards have stopped publishing the menus for their pubs recently, but we knew that we would find plenty to choose from. I had sausage, new potatoes and peas for the first time (£6.95) with extra onion rings. It came with lots of gravy and I asked for mint sauce which was provided without problems. The onion rings here I rate among the best locally because they cook them properly and don't leave them soggy, so I always have them. The 'special' was "small" gammon, chips and beans fpr £4-00 which two of our party had - I would have said the gammon steak they had was definitely larger than "small" and gave them plenty to eat. Our other member had carved ham with chips and beans (£6.95)

Warm and friendly atmosphere, excellent exclusive real ale and a fantastic traditional pub menu. Substantial portions too!

Como jubilados, mayor diversión mi esposa y me gusta salir a comer una vez a la semana y nos encontrar muchos pubs no estaban ahora haciendo la comida. Decidimos probar nuevos lugares y tomó la actitud de que si no disfrutamos de lo que no necesitábamos ir de nuevo, pero estará contento que probamos. Elegimos tres monjas en Loughborough sin otro motivo aparte de que estaba allí y terminamos disfrutando realmente. En primer lugar la recepción que recibimos al entrar en el pub era para decir lo menos amable y en segundo lugar la comida que pedimos estaba muy bien de precio y bien preparados. La comida en sí es típica de un bar, pero fue hecho perfectamente, ya que tenía el plato de mariscos fritos con patatas fritas en vez de patatas fritas rizado y mi esposa tenía una ensalada de salmón ahumado gambas y regados con vino de calidad. Nos pareció que era un lugar que había sido antes ya que nos trataron de esa manera y en una noche que es lo que es. Volveremos otra vez después de probar otros lugares para darnos una selección de pubs y restaurantes. Podemos recomendar este sitio, sin duda!

A menudo nos visita este pub para la comida de los miércoles por la tarde y aunque el menú no es un enorme, sirven comida tradicional de pub británico (y el extraño plato italianos e indios) a un buen precio con buenas porciones. Cuando visitamos tuve la sobresaliente, que venía con huevo, una gran porción de patatas, guisantes y una ensalada, que aunque no es comida gourmet, era muy agradable por el precio (6 libras) - 50 he añadido una porción de aros de cebolla (2 libras. 00) que eran bonitas y crujientes y no como algunas ofrendas pasada he tenido en otros lugares. Añadido a que me las arreglé para encontrar espacio suficiente para un pudin con helado, (que hubiera sido mejor con una salsa de toffee), pero no tienen 3 bolas de helado de todos modos. Los otros pastel de carne con cerveza y scampi, que eran sabrosos, todo en porciones grandes y con buena relación calidad-precio. Total, incluyendo bebidas, postres para 3, y té/café para cuatro personas era 58 libras, que es muy bueno cuando podemos pagar hasta £100 en nuestras excursiones de miércoles por la noche.

Visited in a large group (about 30) and they were spot on with serving us - based on advance ordering. Excellent quality - arguably the portions were too big! - and very reasonably priced. A good selection of beers.

Situated in the middle of Loughborough. Serves a good selection of Everard's beers and Karen's food from the kitchen is delcious. Sometimes live music on a Saturday night. Can be a bit loud ;-)

La comida y las bebidas no eran terriblemente cocinados, o ridículamente caros. Por desgracia, los asientos no es realmente ideal si tenemos intención de ir en un grupo grande, o si vas con un presupuesto bajo. También, principalmente consistente de gente mayor; por lo tanto,...

Para un pub que anuncia comida en comentarios y fuera del pub, viene como una sorpresa para encontrar las cocinas cerca a las 3:00 pm en un sábado. Lunes o martes puede entender - pero no es un sábado! Básicamente, asegúrese de que la comida...

Good food and great prices. Good portion sizes. Friendly staff and clean seating area. Recommend it x

Nine of us went for Sunday dinner would like to thank everyone at the three nuns the meal was excellent plenty of meat was hot they catered for all our needs we even had pudding the price was brilliant too will definitely go back thank you for making it a lovely day

We had delicious food at a good price and the friendliest service in town. We also had amazing experiences like a knitting club meeting.

Food reasonably priced, both had surf & turf, with cheesy garlic bread too ( delicious ) .. food took a wee while as it was busy but well worth the wait ( manager offered us a free drink which was a nice touch ) .. highly recommend and we will be going back

This is by far the best pub in Loughborough and probably area. The food and the beers are just excellent !As already mentioned in one of my other reviews I was on a business in Loughborough for 6 weeks so I had time to do a few pubs & restaurants.

If you like a proper old-school boozer, with lovely ales and excellent snacks, this the place. No posey nonsense, just a warm welcome with super-friendly staff. Go, you'll love it.

We are regulars at this pub now we have found it up near the church. They usually have a special which is excellent value and good honest fare, dieters might which to try the chicken and bacon salad, delicious!

A couple of hours to kill whilst waiting for our daughters interview at Loughborough College. Loved the atmosphere, good barstaff, good drinks. Definitely go there again

Excellent food and drinks. Nice menu and specials board. Easy walking distance of Loughborough town centre. Very nice

This was our second visit to this pub in Central Loughborough.On this occasion, we were part of a large pre-bookedgroup. Our tables had been reserved and we were made very welcome by all of the staff. Our chosen choices arrived very promptly, delivered by young and happy staff. The meals were very tasty with plentiful servings.With a good selection of ales, together with a good value menu, it has to be one of best group meals that we have had on our day trips out.Certainly, we would have no hesitation in returning.

Highly recommended for the Sunday lunches. A bargain for how it's cooked and the portion sizes.Too many pretentious restaurants with vegetables in pots a one slice of beef and 'exotic' vegetables. Give me a good traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings, beautiful roasties and a Yorkshire anyday.Will be back. And for the price I can afford to be there most Sundays. Thankyou for reinstating faith in a good homecooked meal.

We went to this restaurant without reading any review, it was ok, my husband had a double steak & I had Gammon, the meat & chips were very nice but they need to learn how to not overcook the mushrooms & how to not undercook peas.

Had lunch with wife was quality food at a good price with excellent service. Have also been in evening when they had a live band on and was a good atmosphere.

We wanted to meet friends and both couples live one hour from Loughborough so it was an ideal meeting point. After time in queens Park and a wander round the town we asked in a cafe which didn't do lunches if they could recommend somewhere. She sent us to the nuns. The menu was quite extensive but it turned out they could only serve the Sunday roast . You could have a mix of Four meats. The meat was tasty but the veggies were a bit bland and I suspect they were tinned. Nevertheless it was a decent meal and there was plenty of it. We moved to the outside area to have our puddings which were delicious and only £2.00.Top marks to the staff who were all friendly and pleasant. Especially the blond haired one who took our order. She even laughed at my corny joke. The Three Nuns... Nun of this, Nun of that and Nun of the other.

A great atmosphere in a traditional pub. The food is freshly cooked to order and excellent quality. Book a buffet and you won't be disappointed - lots to choose from at a competitive price.

We ate here our first night the pub has a car park round the back.Only serves t I'll 8pm so get there early!I had steak and my husband had the mixed grill both excellent.Very good prices and friendly staff.

Had a lovely evening here for the weekly Quiz night which was well presented and very interesting to take part in. Nice. friendly staff, well kept beer and good facilities. overall, a very enjoyable night.

We came here for a get together and a meal with some family and friends and we are so happy we did! There is so much for anyone's taste buds to enjoy from the kids to the fussy ones! They will swap something you don't like for something you do! Everything was just how we wanted it. They have a fine selection of ales and to top it off the staff are great. Can't wait to go again!

Visited with friends and was very pleasently suprised! Good ale selection and good honest home cooked food! Staff were helpful and looked like a good mix of people. Would recommend if your hungry and want some good honest grub!

I travelled from Telford to join family and have a good meal. But the meal was not even a meal.. I ordered cottage pie, my bread had hair on it so they replaced it and still had hair on my bread! Cottage pie was so greasy I wouldn't even served it to a dog. Didn't end up having anything to eat even after a 2 hour journey. Very poor pub and wouldn't even recommend it to the homeless.

Met up with an old schoolfriend (reunited via Facebook) in this pub, which I'd never been to before, for a pleasant lunch and reminiscences about our schooldays, which are now a long way in the past. Good range of real ales, good choice of menu, from light lunches to full meals.

Visited The Three Nuns for Sunday lunch. Great value. Piping hot food. Pork beef and chicken and the chef was quite happy to take the chicken off the bone. Lovely apple pie for dessert. Plenty of parking available. Might be worth reserving a table because it does get busy.

We tried The Three Nuns as a change from other local hostelries for a mid-week meal and were very pleasantly surprised to find it clean and welcoming with great staff offering excellent value food and cask ales.

Stopped here to grab our lunch when on a business trip to Loughborough University. Lovely and unique atmosphere as well as very good burgers. I would recommend this place.

Visited this pub for lunch with a group of WI ladies on a trip to the Loughborough Bell Foundry and Carillon. We had preordered our meals but they dealt with our rather large group with quiet efficiency. The food was red hot, obviously freshly prepared, plentiful and tasty. We could not believe the quality and value for money that they offered. The staff were also very friendly and helpful especially the manager who personally escorted our ladies quickly through the back streets of Loughborough to our Bell Foundry tour.

My friend got married on Saturday 29 August and held their reception here - it's s lovely quaint pub, the staff are very friendly and was a perfect venue for a perfect wedding

Visited with family and everyone enjoyed good freshly prepared food with good prices and friendly staff. To be recommended with something for everyone.

If you go to Loughborough for any reason make sure you find time to visit The Three Nuns. This little pub serves up excellent meals, with plenty to choose from on the menu. For the money the portions are big and we all struggled to finish our dinner. Would highly recommend you visit this place, it's worth going to Loughborough just for the pleasure of eating there. Not only is it great food but value for money too. Staff very friendly and were happy to wrap my uneaten meat up to take home to the dog. Can't wait to visit again.

I came with my wife to Loughborough and we decided to eat at The Three Nuns again. We have always been treated as though we were the only people there, such is the superb customer service. Once again, the food was superb and delivered with a smile. It is a wonder you don't have to book in advance, but generally you can find a table.

Following friends recommendation we went to Three Nuns for lunch today. Food was freshly prepared, delicious and excellent value for money. The barman was a very pleasant young man - friendly and helpful. The pub/restaurant itself was very clean with a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitively return very soon!!

Came here with family and were served with dirty glasses. Tried to complain, but was simply ignored. It's never happened before but on this occasion I felt let down.

I have had my lunch her many times over the last few years the price and quality of the home cooked food is faultless, I've refrained from reviewing this establishment because it's been my little secret but as its a DIAMOND of a place it's only fair that people are told.

We were hungry and looking for somewhere to eat. We peered through various windows and at menus and opted for the Three Nuns. We were not disappointed, all very clean and friendly. Good selection of real ales with a food menu to match covering most tastes. I choose the Ploughman's FAB. Husband choose Sweet and Sour Chicken which he enjoyed. Would recommend this pub well worth a visit and if we are in Loughborough again would go back.

Joking about Landlord , he probably has indigestion. Proper Pub Real Ales - probably best pint of Everards Tiger in Town. Good for food , Ploughmans is really well priced around 6.50- I think, but Karen ( Grumpys wife) will do you a Ploughmans with a " bit of everything" i.e Real mature sharp cheddar, Proper slices of real ham not processed rubbish and a good pate, for the normal price Bread warm , salad coleslaw etc, would recomend it all day long, Its a pub its pub fare, but good honest grub served by good staff, just off high street not far from Job centre. If your in town or passing through worth a visit

Симпатичный паб в конце торговой улицы Лафборо рядом с собором. Выбор элей не большой, но обстановка очень симпатичная. Заходили днем, в нем все время сидят местные старушки, пьют кофе и "перемывают косточки местным жителям". Из еды брали традиционный пирог и пудинг, но не очень понравилось - уж очень все просто и без изысков. Рекомендую заглянуть разок и промочить горлышко, если будуете в Лафборо!

Proper little pub away from the run of the mill chains in loughborough. A few minutes off the town centre but worth seeking out! Good honest home cooked food and good beer selection! Can get busy for food but worth the wait which you are always told about before you order! Friendly and welcoming staff, good mixture of ages and dont be scared to ask for a sample of an ale if you are not sure!! A gem amongst a sea of bog standard chain pubs!

Although I haven't eaten here on a number of occasions, I have to say that I always thoroughly enjoy this quaint pub. Extremely friendly staff and a lovely homely atmosphere!

we wanted somewhere local for sunday lunch we tried the 3 nuns Loughborough was very pleased with the food plenty to eat and a good sized lunch no scrimping well worth going

Experienced a Sunday roast last week and it was excellent great value for money will look forward to go again.
