The best restaurants in Bottesford Melton East Midlands

Change of plan this time, no main course then not enough room for cake. Coffee and cake only this time. Just as full and satisfied when we had finished. PERFECT.

Popped in to have breakfast here with the family midweek. Two full breakfasts and smashed avocado and egg on toast for the boy. Service was friendly and quick and the food really well cooked. Would highly recommend. There is plenty of choice for breakfast and lunch and the drinks menu is also extensive. Our breakfast was cooked fresh to order

Our fav go to pub always buzzing with atmosphere

The Thatch is a fabulous place - the setting, staff and food are fantastic and it’s one of our favourite places to go. Never disappointed. Beautiful decor, fantastic garden at the back to enjoy a relaxing drink on a spring/ summer evening. Food is always fab. Cannot recommend highly enough

Yet again a superb meal at this delightful place, reasonably priced, staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic to be able to book a table for 8 in advance, great service, we didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was excellent. We will definitely visit again.

Had lunch with friends. There were 5 of us. One member of our group was in a wheelchair and the staff were very accommodating. The food, service and atmosphere were very good. Many thanks.

Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and customers. Dog friendly with a small enclosed garden.

First time visiting this lovely restaurant. I have a peanut allergy and so trying a new Indian restaurant is quite a scary thing as they usually use nut oils to cook in,I was reassured that things are kept separate and indeed I didn't have any reaction. The food was absolutely delicious.all really fresh. The service was really nice and there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. Also the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back with friends and family.

We visited the Old Forge this morning for the first time and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by Lola the dog who made our own little dog very welcome. The outside seating area was extremely pleasant and well kept with a charming brook and weeping willow setting the scene. Our breakfast of bacon and egg sandwiches served on toasted granary bread was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Our hosts were lovely and offered advice on some dog walking routes in the area which we went on to enjoy. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you very much, Jayne, Dean and Rexi x

The service was exceptional. We wanted some choices that were not on the menu and the chefs adapted their dishes to accommodate our vegetarian choices. The flavours were delightful and the range of textures made eating the food very appealing. I will definitely be returning and would certainly recommend their menu, food and wonderful service to anyone living in or around Bottesford. Regards Paul and Eithne

Pre booked tables were being used, service dreadful, coffee tepid, cake arrived when we had all drunk our coffee, restaurant manager unfriendly and dismissive, tables not been wiped, crumbs under the chairs.Decor lovely and expensive but ‘fur coat and no knickers’ - need to get the essentials right pdq!!One positive - young waiter Tom was a star.
