The best restaurants in Forest Bradgate Charnwood East Midlands

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

Lovely food and atmosphere. Staff friendly and very helpful. Sometimes can be noisy when busy. You can bring your dog here too.

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.

Attended a wedding here in the summer and it was lovely! Food was incredible! Service quality great! Couldn't fault it!

We recently visited this charming pub and had a delightful experience. The ambiance is relaxed and chilled, perfect for unwinding. The food we ordered was almost perfect, with portion sizes just right—not too small and not so big that you can't finish them. I had the burger, which was delicious, although the patty could have used a bit less time on the grill to avoid such a strong charred taste. My partner had a steak, which was served medium-well, despite being requested as medium. It had only a very thin slither of pink in the middle. The wedge-style chips that came with the steak were not as enjoyable as the fries served with my burger. Despite these minor issues, the food was overall very tasty and didn’t deter us from wanting to visit again. It just seemed like the dishes were slightly overcooked. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. However, there was a small downside—the service was a bit slow to clear dirty plates. We weren't in a rush, but even we felt it could have been a bit quicker. It seemed like an extra pair of hands would have been helpful, especially since it was a weeknight. That said, the staff were lovely and definitely not slacking off! Overall, we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again, either as a couple or with friends and family. We've already recommended this place to others. Just a couple of small tweaks would have made the experience perfect, but we will definitely be back in the future, which speaks volumes.

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.

Wrong food delivered after a hour and half wait and still waiting for right things iv ordered to come

Lovely place and staff were fabulous with our furry friend 🐶. Only a couple of gripes. 1) the shower head could do with changing in room 3 2) okay, so I'm a gluten free vegan (I know it's a pain!). But I get it everywhere I go that I have to wait ages for my food, there's not much choice and I end up eating at a different time to the people I've come out with. There are loads of brands of gluten free vegan sausages about so could easily be frozen. I'm not just pulling this hotel down because I find it the same in most places, but it would be amazing if I could fully enjoy a break away without feeling awkward and thus letting my friends and family not feel frustrated too. Please just keep a few GfVe items in the freezer and air fry! Honestly, I'm easily pleased as long as It's GfVe. Thank you though, gorgeous place ☺️

A beautiful afternoon tea with a family member visiting from London. A fantastic setting fantastic food and fantastic staff especially the lovely Loz who looked after us.

I don’t know what has happened as I’ve always enjoyed my breakfast here but today was very disappointing. The tiny amount of bacon was overcooked and dry, the egg was hard and quite tasteless, the mushroom hardly warm and the beans very runny. I know it’s quite expensive here but I would expect a top class breakfast for that price.

It used to be a great stop off for lunch post a Bradgate morning walk . It was always packed with locals as well as visitors wanting lunch . We noticed it when we walked in ……hardly anything in the display cabinet bar a dozen small quiches and not much of a cake selection . No specials either ! No hot food could be ordered before 12 so we had tea …..no China cups and lots anymore either . When it reached 12 one of us had the house burger …..came in a dried out toasted bun with a lettuce leaf, small piece of tomato and a bit of onion . Salsa on the side . The bun was dry and tasted old , it could have done with mayo or something to spruce it up and soften the blow . It wasn’t good at all . The other had quiche and salad which was ok - a good portion of chips and salad . The service could be better , the tea came out with what was clearly a damaged cup but no attempt to replace it . We asked for some tap water …….10 minutes and nothing , clearly it had been forgotten , even though they were not busy. Asked again and it did arrive . No one at any point asked how our food was , they were quick to clear our table of food plates so we also made a quick exit . As it wasn’t busy it should have made us wary and overall I’m afraid if this is the new standard it isn’t longed for this world . Two generations of my family have lived in the village and this was always a welcome trip . Not now - sorry but give it a miss.

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.

Excellent food and excellent service from Elivia and Sam. Definitely coming again and will 100% recommend to others!!

A very pleasant place to be. Food was good. Service good. Nice decor with a goid feel. The other customers were also very nice. Nothing really to complain about

Had not been to The Wheatsheaf before and booked to meet friends for dinner. Immediate friendly welcome from all the staff and a lovely feel to the pub. It was well presented, clean and warm. Manager and waiting staff chatty and happy to engage with our banter and humour. We had Barnsley lamb chops and Pan fried Pork from the specials board....and we all very happy with the portions, the timing and the quality of the food. It was delicious - and very good value. Infact, one of the best quality and nicest meals i have had for a lomg time. Deserts were simple - but .good portions, good flavour and a real treat. Absolutely recommend The Wheatsheaf for their service and food - and we will definitely return. Thank you all
