The best restaurants in Croxton Kerrial Melton East Midlands

Yes, this was an excellent cafe at the entrance to Belvoir Castle. It served a wide variety of savoury snacks, sandwiches, bauguettes etc. and a great choice of cakes!! As previously mentioned the coffee was excellent! Unfortunately they had to close early in 2022 due to no renewal of their lease. A sad loss!

Fantastic visit to the croxton village shop! So many gorgeous local products to choose from and a great selection of everyday essentials. If you are in the vale then a visit here is a must, you can even enjoy your coffee and cake in the picnic area and park for free. Exceptional customer service..Will definitely be back 😊

We didn't have the opportunity to go to the pub before we moved to the village so we had no idea what to expect. Our first experience was fantastic! A lovely local pub with a great atmosphere. John and Kathy were so welcoming and made us feel like we had been coming here for years. With proper beers on tap, and probably the best fish and chips I have had in years we will be coming here every opportunity we get.

Recently moved to the area and can’t praise the staff enough, Reasonably priced drinks, and whenever we’ve asked to watch a particular sport , they’ve put it on for us.

We yet again were not disappointed, with the food, service and ambience of the Geese and Fountain,, great food at a great price.

Took my 91-year-old father for Sunday roast, and it was excellent. I had the beef, and my husband and father had chicken. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, the yorkshire pudding was yummy 😁 and all three plates were cleared, and we were all happy and full. The staff were wonderful and attentive and looked after us very well. I'm really looking forward to booking again 😀

It would appear the Fuel Tank hasn't learnt any lessons from its previous attempt to run a cafe/ restaurant. Disengaged staff Kitchen 'closed' at midday on Saturday to allow for backlog of orders - prime time for kids No pizza oven in the Winter - surely a no brainier all year round?! Outdoor tables piled high with dirty plates £18 for a burger - you pay less than this in London We visited the Chequers instead and had an excellent meal. We wont be back.

We only ordered a cheese naan, tikka mixed grill, starters lamb samosa and onion bhaji; it took over an hour and a half to arrive (we only live no more than 5 minutes drive away) and was tepid when it finally did. Won't be ordering from them again

A very disappointing visit to somewhere we had earmarked for a long time. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to find a very jaded group staff gathered in a clump behind the till yet no-one seemed eager to come forward to serve us, the girl whose attention I managed to get seemed almost surprised that I needed something from her and questions about ingredients (I am gluten and nut free) were met with bewilderment. A very simple order was turned to complete confusion (double ice creams which were obvious from the fact we asked for 2 flavours turned into singles, only one cup of tea eventually turned up outside even though we ordered two and milk was missing though this was mentioned twice). Seemed like a case of too many cooks...lots of personnel but all very eager for someone else to leap to action rather than themselves and no customer service skills to speak of. I know it was towards the end of the weekend and they were probably tired of being on their feet by 3pm but, really, not a good effort and the worst cafe we have been to since we came to the area. This is the first bad review I have ever given but it needed saying! The venue as a whole could be really great in the right hands but is not being made the most of at all, as per the rest of the Engine Yard where most of the units lay empty, one was annoying shut by 3pm, an hour earlier than advertised, leaving just two shops open and the whole experience was completely lack-lustre, gimmicky and overpriced!
