The Tithe Barn Restaurant in Hinckley and Bosworth

Staff are lovely and the food is great I have been a regular for years Welcoming atmosphere, gf cakes and options Kitchen shuts at 2pm but other optons like pastries and sausage rolls, teacakes still on offer Lovely cafe

Arrived at 2.06pm to have lunch and visit exhibition so had paid for 2 hours in the car park. Went to the 'restaurant', firstly they only do sandwiches and toasties not really a restaurant, secondly they don't do food after 2pm and yet are open until 4pm. Nowhere on their website does it tell you this. Sadly didn't get to see the visitors centre as family member with medical issues needed to eat. Complete waste of time, fuel and car parking cost.

Nice cafe in the Battlefield centre. We stopped for lunch. Had a mix of toasties/homemade soup/pastries & cakes. Coffee lovely too. Staff friendly & helpful, the cafe was very clean & inviting. Not the biggest of menus but they did have special boards with other items on offer.

Used to be really good, now awful. Toastie cold, salad horrid and thrown on the plate, just a mess. Not worth the money don’t bother. Best bit of it was the bottled coke.

Took a group of 30 adults for afternoon tea. Very well organised and a very nice tea. Everyone enjoyed it which is amazing ... not one grumble!. The staff were lovely especially Sarah.

Tuna melt panini, expensive, hard(stale?), filling not tasty. Drinks expensive too. Service in terms of coffee dispensing a tad chaotic and unsure we got what we ordered. Drinks not the best either. Till service friendly.

Great little cafe and a small museum to look at great place to take the kids also great stop off for cyclists good prices too.

Tried to visit for a cup of coffee and cake on Monday 13th May. Could not park as we had no coins for the machine. Went to Sutton Wharf instead

Not a big menu but big enough I think

So my parents ,sister and myself turned up at 1.20pm , we wanted jacket potatoes none in stock .....then we had bacon and sausage sandwiches of which there was just enough to have one of each , these came over cooked and dry , stained cups for our cuppa . This is such an amazing place such a shame its going down hill .

Since recent changes the food offering is limited. But what is provided is reasonable. OK for a quick cuppa and a snack mid walk.

Lovely place, food was good but disorganised and painfully slow service, there were two staff serving and both had no sense of urgency and couldn't have worked slower if they tried. Nobody clearing tables so they ran out of cups and just served in takeout cups instead. 2 long queues, one to buy then another to collect hot drinks, many customers stand in the wrong queue for quite some time before realising. The main queue is so long it's out the door and across the yard, this makes it awkward for staff serving to get to and from the kitchen as you queue in the doorway and then in the way of the kitchen entrance. The whole process needs a re-think. All in all, the drinks were drank 20 minutes before the sandwiches turned up, and a full 40 minutes after paying for them. This on a normal Sunday in October, such a shame as it's a lovely place.

Very slow bringing the food out

What a lovely place! Great addition to the battlefield for you to grab yourself a drink and a bite to eat! Was recommended it after a friend told me that new management had taken and the place was better than before (as she hadn’t had not the best experience last winter) the choice of cakes and toasties were to die for so we sure decided to take a trip. 1. The range of cakes both vegan and gluten free were exceptional! Nice to see a place so inclusive. They also tasted like heaven! And had a wide selection! 2. The range of hot pastries were to die for! All kept nice and warm and tasted homemade 10000X better than greggs or any other bakers. 3. The coffee was of exceptional quality! We had a couple of lattes and cappuccinos and everyone in our group commented on how nice and hot they were which makes a change from places like costa who make it luke warm. 4. Staff. I’ve seen a few reviews about the staff however on the day we attended I could not fault them. Very polite and chatty and talked us through all the cakes. Lady in the kitchen who brought the food out was very smiley and talkative. I felt if I needed anything they would be happy to help. Honestly lovely little place. Only downfall is there being no food options for the little ones however we just brought one toastie and they shared it so not a major issue just a possible recommendation for the future. Will return again for sure and would recommend to anyone I know! Thank you for having us!

Ended up here by accident they do an amazing range of dairy free and gluten free food The staff are really knowledgeable friendly and helpful

We have been going to Tithe Barn for many years for brunch/lunch. The quality and service from the previous staff was great. I understand theres been a change of management and staff. Since then, its not been great.Were not the only ones with this oplnion. They have stopped serving chips which for a cafe is ridiculous. The quality of the sausages are cheap and nasty. Staff a bit distant and theyve stopped the help yourself to water

We spent they day wandering around the heritage site and popped into the cafe twice. Once for breakfast and then again later on for a little treat before we left. The staff were pleasant and friendly on both occasions and extremely helpful when my daughter couldn't decide what to have. We will definitely be going back.

Nice cafe at the Battlefield site. A really good selection of vegan cakes and offerings of alternative milks, service quick despite being a busy day in the summer holidays. Decent sized cafe with plenty of tables outside. Staff very polite and helpful. Will visit again :)

I have been to the Tithe Barn on several occasions with family and just with my husband. Unfortunately, since the catering staff have recently changed, the food has gone downhill. The breakfasts, which used to be served all day, were some of the best. I haven't been able to try them to compare now as we haven't been there early enough. However, all three sandwiches we have tried, on three separate occasions, have been poor. The sausage sandwich contained poor quality sausages compared to previously. The bacon and egg sandwich had dry bread, bacon that looked like it had been reheated or left a long time on the heat, and the fried egg was overcooked. And lastly, the tuna mayo sandwich was swimming in mayo with very little tuna. We have loved visiting this place as part of our walks, but if this is the standard of food now, we will give it a miss.

A lovely cafe set in the country park. The cafe sells everything you’d expect drinks, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and cakes.

Cycling stop. Good amount of seating indoor and outdoor, and a choice of quick savoury, cake and larger meals. Coffee fine. Dog friendly (inc. treats and water bowls).

Set in the heritage park for King Richard the 3rd fantastic walks for all would certainly recommend a visit

Nice place to stop for coffee. Food also available

Been twice now, never had any issues has always been good. Not tried any hot food yet.

Been twice now, food is ok however be prepared to wait 30 - 60 minutes for pizza & chips and scrambled egg on toast, pizza was greasy and couldn’t locate any tomato/ pizza sauce under the cheese -each time it’s due to staffing and volume of customers , 3 members of staff on. Shame great location

Breakfast sandwiches excellent and good value.

Great atmosphere and good service.

Called in for a quick coffee and cake. Had never been before despite it being relatively local. Lovely location so will definately be going back when we have more time. Will take the grandsons too as they love learning about the history around where Nan now lives.

Lovely jacket potato and Toasties,Emm served us, great 👌🙂

We usually come him nearly every other week. There has been two recent occasions we have ordered the Victoria sponge cake. I recently baked some cakes at home and know the difference between cakes a few days old and a cake that’s been sat a good while. Maybe bad baking I don’t know but was like eating sawdust. For one dry cake and an ice cream was over 7 pound!! Plus the week before we were charged wrongly because the girl couldn’t find the price for a scone and got charged more than a cake. No big deal but off putting and puts me off going into the cafe again.

Before starting my walking review of the Bosworth Reedemore battle field, I provisioned at the Tithe Barn. I enjoyed a good British bacon sandwich (like American ham) and a bottle of bitters (an ale) outside in the shade. The staff were polite and pleasant.

Love it here. Reeally chilled, Not too expensive, and the atmosphere is just really nice

Chairs not confortable, service ok, coffee not high quality.

Excellent carrot cake, friendly staff.

Delicious coffee, as always. As it was so cold we opted to sit inside in the designated dog-friendly area. I realise this is only a new addition to the premises but I would suggest that, maybe until the summer months, you need a larger area. Apart from our dog there were four other dogs inside, two of whom were agitated by the close proximity of the other three. Unfortunately this could result in canine behaviour that could prove unpleasant for the other customers.

After a lovely time around Heritage Centre and walk we fancied a cuppa and cake before heading back home. Really wish we hadn’t bothered, the cake was so dry it turned to dust when cutting, short bread overly rich and sweet and everything served on single-use plates/cups/cutlery. Not great quality for inflated prices.

Lovely Sunday lunch on 25/1/2021. A sign on the door stated there was a restricted menu but still plenty of choice of food and drinks. Service was fast and food piping hot. The soup of the day was tasty and some of the best coleslaw we have had in a long time was served with the salad. The bowl of chips was plentiful for us and nearly a meal in its own right. Will be back again soon.

Staff were in a pickle, Christmas meal bookings i think caused issue but Notice saying restricted menu but no list of what was available, causing confusion at till. What was provided was good in the end and very helpful retrospectively, but a bit of thought from customers point of view would have made big difference.

We had a lovely lunch and coffee. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was good to be able to sit outside in this historic place. The all day breakfast was particularly good value.

Whilst sat waiting for our food we noticed a waitress filling the utensils jar with wooden cutlery by holding the ends of the spoons and pushing them into the container. Kind of put us off using the cutlery, so used our fingers. The table was still dirty and we saw the same waitress handling the food, pouring drinks and taking cash with no washing of hands or using gloves (which would be useless anyway). Not sure what they were like pre-pandemic but they’re pretty poor now. The food was at best…. average. The coffee was awful but it saved us from the rain and for that I’m thankful. I do hope it improves as it’s such a good spot. One star off for hygiene, one off for food and the rest is for the location, dog biscuits and friendliness of a staff member called Jane.

Lovely restaurant/cafe, wonderful staff, helpful, ha, friendly. Good choice of drinks, food and cakes, right for all tastes. Nice seating indoors, but lovely courtyard outside with new seats and tables at a wonderful location.

Sorry but this was quite possibly the worst meal I've ever paid for. I had hallumi caesar salad, was literally one huge chunk of hallumi on lettuce smothered in acid sauce. For £8.95. My husband had 2 rock hard beefburgers in a non toasted bun without slaw and salad (which should have been included) For £8.95. Grandson had a fish finger sandwich in bread. Nothing g included for £6.¥5. Coffee awful. Only good thing we're doggie sausages.

Open and menu ok but obviously reduced choice at this time. Nice to see it busy again.

We organised for a group visit to the battlefield, and ploughman's lunch at the tithe barn. We organised this for a Friday, when they were shut to the public. Sam was so very helpful, organising to come in and open up just for our group, made a custom ploughmans lunch served with efficiency and great organisation. What a pleasure it was. 3 tables set to enable us to be within COVID guidelines; wonderful food; prompt and polite service. highly recommended

Great food and drinks at the cafe, public toilets and often re-enactments going on lovely stop off what ever your doing 🐕 dog walk/hiking / jogging 🏃‍♂️ or a country ramble

Food as good as usual, but confused as to why most of the outdoor seating is missing.

Friendly service, Quality food, especially the three course roast dinner menu! Located within history grounds and stunning nature. A favourite place of ours to dine!

Excellent sausage rolls but acid tongued server takes the edge off the experience. I know we have covid restrictions but there is a way to ask people to adhere

A refreshing stop, even in Lockdown

I know we're in the middle of covid, but only one person serving and only one person allowed in the restaurant at a time left people queuing for twenty minutes outside in 2 degrees. Not ideal.

Nice peaple good coffee, just a shame they have taken all the tables and chairs in had nothing to sit on.

Being in lockdown it's now a strange time... they have good measures in place for takeaway only and the food and cake is the same as always 😋

Lovely place to visit out in the countryside. The Tithe Barn is spotlessly clean & the staff are very friendly. Good food at a fair price, I particularly enjoyed the Apple cake which was exceptional. The Oscar dog sausages are also a welcome treat for my best buddy Buster, also the dog ice-cream when its hot.

Always a good place to take a break.

Nice place. Very clean. Big portions of cake and fair value

Went at 3pm and a rather miserable girl seemed intent to put people off coming in as she was noisily sweeping up and putting the chairs on the tables- don't think they actually close until 4pm. She needs to know that without customers, businesses don't survive. Tea was served in paper cups!

Ideal cafe for the situation. Good basic menu at modest prices, in a pleasant environment. Plenty of interest in and around, before or after a snack and a drink. Highly recommended.

Nice location, service rather slow though

Always good ,try the breakfast, ace

The restaurant has a lovely setting in a restored tithe barn but the food mark it out as special. It is freshly made and the portions are generous. The cakes are all home made and super delicious. The staff couldn’t be nicer. A great place to relax when visiting the heritage centre. We liked it so much, we went twice.

Lovely restaurant. Serve an excellent Christmas meal in beautifully decorated surroundings.

Early Christmas lunch, wow, won't move for a week. Good value for money and nice staff as well. What more could you want?

Set near the Battlefield site and THe Heritage site. Food is simple and only served fromthe menu until 2.30pm. Service was slow but the food served looking appetising.

Top quality Sunday roast for very good value on our budget. Friendly customer service. Very impressed with our visit, well worth it!

Nice airy space very good food. The ham sandwich with side salad and crisps was really enjoyable oh yeah and homemade coleslaw

After a hot and dusty walk around the previously believed site of battle, we were ready for a drink of any kind. Large dispensers were filled with tap water with sliced orange as you walked in - such a lovely find on a very hot June day. Queuing to find a pot of tea, lovely cakes and tray bakes were readily available. We ordered two pots of tea - decaff is available. Having a hungry husband, I asked for a sausage roll, they looked lovely with flaky pastry, almost home made. The sausage roll supplied appeared to be factory produced and very firm around the edges. Expressing my surprise at not being given one from the display cabinet before us, a second assistant became defensive, telling me they were exactly the same... really? A stamper indicated the use of a loyalty card at this restaurant, but the cards were out of print at the time of our visit. No teaspoons were available either, so it was stirring with a fork - not a real problem, but the restaurant was not busy, so where were the teaspoons? That said, the assistant serving us at the beginning of the order was outstanding. Sensibly she asked if one small jug of milk would be enough for us both, i was pleased with this as too often a second jug is given and goes unused. Good value overall, two pots of tea with one large sausage roll was £5.20. The interior of the barn is a delight and triumph with refurbishment. Original parts are clearly different to the modern inserts, but the recent additions have been added faithfully. Seating is extensive inside, with a delightful seating area outside. Perfect for the longer family day out. All at good levels with mobility and location with car park and visitor centre.

Over priced food, lousy coffee, poorly trained staff. Improvements needed. Make the place worth a visit.

Beautiful father's day dinner would highly recommend, staff very helpful

Great meals and people very friendly staff great.

Great meeting place..warm and cosy .

Were open till 4, we turned up at 2:45 to be told they are no longer doing food. Why bother opening then. British service at its best. Very very expensive.

Ok, but pricey, not as special as it could be.

Stated they would stay open for reenacter on the Friday night till 9pm but they decided to close early. Would not use them

We've been here a lot. Great place, great atmosphere and great staff. I booked it a couple of years ago for a party, a fantastic night!

Dave Dee Discos recently provided the evening entertainment for a 50th Birthday party at The Tithe Barn. We found the staff very helpful & polite there was ample parking and the load in was easy. great venue for small parties keep up the good work

We went for sunday lunch and the food was fabulous the staff were really nice, great value for money, it was that good we went again a few weeks later, i would recommend it to anybody wanting a nice day out as well as a bite to eat. Booking by phone is recommended to ensure you get a table on Sunday's, Well worth it, So give it a try. :-)

Its so not cramped I don't belive you have been there the food is realy nice cakes chips jacket spuds are lovely and so is the breakfast so stop lying its massive its a thith barn you idiot
