The best restaurants in Forest Bradgate Charnwood East Midlands

As it was a sunny day, the place was busy although we found a table. Recently the menu has changed in my view for the worst. Prices have leapt with choice not as good as it used to be. Although our order arrived in decent time one or two people who came in after us left upon being informed there was a waiting time of over 30 mins for cooked food. We have been regulars here but with the menu change and big increase in prices will sadly look elsewhere.

After a walk at Bradgate Park we chose to stop in here for brunch. We checked the menu outside and were surprised to find that the prices inside had been inflated quite considerably. Did they forget to change the menu outside? I think probably not. After waiting for a table we then sat down on a dirty table to order, waited half an hour for our food, which then came out lukewarm at best and really quite underwhelming. £70 for 3 breakfasts, 3 drinks and pancakes is certainly steep I'd say, but when it is such poor quality I'm not sure how this place gets the reviews it does.

Excellent service from the 2 students & lady in charge of cafe plus attached is a lovely gift shop. The students did very well serving me & the ladies helped me with the postcards. Lovely big shop.

Absolutely, the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life. Linda knows what a man wants. Brilliantly cooked breakfast goods.

Sadly a pleasant (though expensive) menu was let down by consistently, painfully slow service. The children's Sunday menu was also really lacking - more like an afterthought, with no starters available on it. I've visited the Pear Tree a few times now, and I'd say it's an average gastropub dressed and priced as something better.

Good quality gastropub, comfortable tables and chairs, Sunday lunch was well presented and tasty. Would happily revisit.

Was just about to book a table for 6 tomorrow after a walk in the park but having just seen the hygiene ratings will make alternate arrangements. Absolutely shocking.

Lovely flavour but it was cold, usually piping hot from here and would highly recommend if it turns up hot

Fab service from Petra while eating at the resteraunt and food enjoyable at a reasonable price

Not been for a while but glad we came back. The coffee was nice, the toasted sarnie was great and the cakes are amazing, so good, in fact, I bought another to take home! Always love to sit outside and enjoy the super friendly little chaffinches flirting back & forth to get some cake crumbs!

Very enjoyable lunch. Delicious mushroom soup. Friendly staff and very pleasant surroundings. Good location opposite main car park at Bradgate. Would recommend.

A group of us booked for lunch and ordered in advance. The staff were very pleasant and helpful , service was good as was the food with a choice of portion size for some dishes. My meal was missing peas but this was quickly rectified. The cakes looked delicate and tyere was one desert and ice-cream om offer yoo. The tea rooms are warm which was good as the weather outside was awful. There is outside seating for good weather days. There are a few charity shops on site and walks in the grounds, weather permitting and a model railway open on Wednesdays and Fridays. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice atmosphere and the service was excellent.

My friend and I really enjoyed our meal here a couple of nights ago. The pies were delicious and the service was very good.

My husband and I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone at the wheatsheaf for making our day so special. We got married on the 20th September and hired the room upstairs for a big table of 20 and had our wedding meal here. The pub has such a lovely welcoming feel and the staff and food are amazing. Everyone is so accommodating and service fantastic! We definitely will be returning. Highly recommended. Thank you again to you all. Mr & Mrs Marshall
