The best restaurants in Queen Eleanor and Buccleuch Kettering East Midlands

Was our first visit here in many years and will certainly be back. I had the vegetarian option of Sunday lunch ,a curried veg pie which came with a good selection of veg,cauliflower cheese,roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire Pudd. It was the best pub Sunday lunch I have ever had. Very generous portion. My friend had the lamb roast and was as equally happy with his. Don't know how we found room for pudding but a Biscoff cheesecake and bread and butter pudding were soon devoured. The service was perfect ,staff friendly , definitely a great choice for Sunday dinner.

First visit for a little while, but as good as ever. It is quite a small tea room so booking is essential. My friend and I had ploughman's, which was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. Only negative is that the loo could do with some tlc, but it was clean.

This is a lovely little old village pub and has many fans. (?). The food service staff are a group of pleasant young girls with no supervision. Therefore they are not focused on the needs of their customers. Usually they are gathered in a group away from the eating guests. We ordered 6 tapas dishes. The portions were very generous but fairly expensive compared to other Spanish restaurants. Three of the dishes were just acceptable but three were on the verge of being sent back. 5 of these dishes were not served at acceptable temperatures. If there had been evidence of a supervisor on duty that would have happened. 1, The chicken supreme was grossly over cooked in the process of preparation and then over-reheating resulted in dried out chicken making it impossible to eat. 2, The Frito Misto had spent much too long in the deep fryer and resulted in whitebait, prawns and mussels (many stuck together) that were over-cooked and all tasting of sour whitebait. 3, The cod suffered with a similar lack of care and attention in the kitchen. It was over-cooked and lacked seasoning and flavour. 4. There was no evidence of any supervisory staff on duty. So in summary, the owners of this establishment need to seriously review its management arrangements and supervision of both front of house and food preparation operations. Why are dishes like this leaving the 'pass' in the first place? Who is checking that? In the restaurant they need mature supervision by staff that understand the function and purpose of the business of running a restaurant.

Sorry to say that although my streak was cooked to perfection it was massively over salted. I could not eat it. I expressed my problem to the waiter who without question exchanged it. The replacement. Was in fairness cooked without the huge salting but was a little over cooked for my preference. Once I had expressed that my streak was very salty others in my group agreed that theirs was also over salted, they had eaten to much to be critical in fairness. The fillet was also rated as poor as had some sinue. Gutted because I love this venue. Staff are greet to be fair. £750 spent between 11 and not many would return I am sad to report

Great food and great value for money !
