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.

Beautiful little tea room. Excellent selection of cakes and savoury dishes. Can't wait to go back!

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.

Great looking restaurant and great food and service. Sadly let down by a lack of light and heat! The mood lighting was set far too low, it was so dark that we struggled to read the menu and felt like wearing our coats due to the cold draft. The people sat next to us also commented on the lighting and cold temperatures. For a Thursday evening we were surprised how empty the place was. The low level of customers should be a sign that you are doing something wrong guys. It’s not the food service, people want to go to a warm and inviting place to dine, not a dark wind tunnel.

Under temporary management until new owner found. They have extended opening hours, more days, and longer opening times.

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.

Lovely cafe, the paninis were great and the mochas were tasty!

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.

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

I ate here with friends. They had steak (which they enjoyed) & i had the risotto. But, the risotto was awful. Too mushy like baby food. Almost no seasoning. And the chorizo was over cooked & inedible. Certainly not worth the price. Maybe a lesson in how to make a good risotto for who ever made it. I've gone to The Fieldhead many times over the years as my friends live in Markfield & i can honestly say it was the worst meal I've ever had there. The service was good & our waitress was lovely.

My friend & I visited at lunchtime today. This place is a true gem 💎 ... There is plenty of outside seating, either in the shade or full sun. The shop inside area of the cafe is very spacious too. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. 😋The mozzarella, tomato, and pesto toasties were excellent. I had a decaff latte and a ginger beer with chilli 🌶 . My friend had a mushroom and hummus sandwich, cappuccino, plus a dandelion and burdock 🥛☕️ .. I'll definitely be revisiting. The toilets are up a flight of stairs. I presume they have a disabled toilet, too ? The upstairs facilities were nice and clean. Always a bonus 😊 Many thanks

Visited after a walk round Beacon Hill Country park. Had the phili steak wrap meal, amazing. Lovely setting on the patio on a gorgeously sunny day. The staff were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Yaz is a breath of fresh air, her northern Yorkshire personality shines through, I was hosted and served with amazing hospitality. She was always smiling and couldn’t do enough. 10/10.

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.

Visited the Wheatsheaf for our annual lunch - it’s a bit of a drive from where we live, but well worth it. The staff are, as always, welcoming and professional, and make time to help you decide which of their wonderful food offerings to choose. We both had the Wheatsheaf Smokie for lunch - fantastic! Would visit more regularly if we lived closer but, for now, we’re happy with this annual treat x
