YHA National Forest Cafe & Bar in North West Leicestershire

Overpriced. Nice environment but messed up our order, over charged us. Wouldn’t give a drink for their mistake. Shame as good pub but arsey manager.

Friendly pub, great selection of entertainment throughout the week. Doesn't really do food apart from sandwiches, nuts, crisps etc. Great quiz on a Thursday

Great fish and chips. I pick up a takeaway from here most times I visit Donington.

Went for a Sunday roast and the food was delicious! Fair value and good service. Nice and quiet location and relaxed atmosphere.

I visited the restaurant on Saturday 25th Feb as part of a large group (50+people). Now I understand that 50 people arriving at the same time is a bit of a nightmare but, as I understand it, Marco was given all of our menu choices in advance. Anyway, we arrived at 7pm and received our starter at 8.20pm. This wasn't a huge issue as we were enjoying the company of our friends, however as the night went on it meant that some had finished their meals and others hadn't even had their mains, some never got them and left. The waitresses did their best to calm the waters and generally the mood was OK despite the obvious problems. The food when it did arrive was acceptable, but I had expected slightly better than acceptable to be honest. We asked for parmesan and was told there wasnt any tonight. Some on our table didn't eat their mains as they said it was bland and left before their deserts. As I say, I get 50 people is a bit of a logistical nightmare but surely the restaurant should have been prepared for that? All in all I would advise not to visit if you're in a large group.
