The best restaurants in Melton Dorian Melton East Midlands

Great Breakfast with good produce ( proper sausages - none of your Richmond rubbish) at a very reasonable price £5 including a mug of Tea or Coffee

I haven’t had any food but the coffee!! Oh my the coffee! Is absolutely perfect. It does exactly and all you need a coffee to do. The staff are incredible. Karen E and Clare are the most wonderful, friendly, helpful ladies. I have a real soft spot for them. Thank you ladies for being you.

Our group of ladies were well treated ( one of us arrived very late and there was no fuss to make us order without her). In fact, service was excellent. We all ate different dishes and all enjoyed our meals. We now think this may also be the Christmas venue for our get- together!

Been three times in the last month for an evening meal. Experience has been consistent. Lovely friendly staff, although a little stretched. Good selection on the menu which should please most people and most things are great value. I can vouch for the fish and chips, lasagne , lamb shank and burgers as being very tasty and good portion size. On some evenings a free pudding is included. The puddings are all cold puddings in a chilled cabinet where you help yourself. On our last visit you could sense the pudding anxiety across some of the bigger tables with nervous glances from diners during their main courses to check what puddings were left. Some scurried off to grab their desired desserts during their mains and some had more than one. Quite funny to watch but personally I'd suggest they keep the puddings in the kitchen and serve one per person.

Despite being our local for 13 years, have only ever been in a handful of times, each disappointing. Staff are friendly enough, but poorly trained on dietary requirements on the menu - a kitchen staff member told me that the difference between the vegetarian burger and vegan burger was that it contained nuts... Food was reasonably priced, but arrived with zero attention to presentation or actual care towards making it exciting. I'd say it could be nice for a drink in the summer, but with no greenery, if you chose to sit outside, you're practically sat in the car park. Both bar area and restaurant area are run down - hole in the wall with some plaster slathered on top, not even painted. Lighting is pretty fluorescent and nothing quirky or interesting. Very dull and run down. Feedback to management: the whole pub needs redecorating properly, could be lovely and have a nice ambience with some love and tlc, but in it's current state it's very tatty and poorly maintained. Train your staff and raise the quality of food and service overall. A pub this size and in this location should be the heart of the community. Also the toilets haven't been decorated for decades, please give them some attention.

My mums birthday meal was in March we don't come from Melton, this was recommended and it's a poor tail when your customers can make you feel more welcome than the staff do, a large group near the bar was loud but entertaining, they gave the pub a good atmosphere, if it wasn't for them we'd have ate and drank our drinks and left but we stayed for a couple more as they was so friendly and welcoming, the food was great yay yous expect from a standard pub, we had to wait longer on the puddings than the main courses and when they came they just got slammed onto the table like it was too much of an inconvenience to serve us (which surely is there job role) the cleanliness wise the decor and carpet is mismatched, half the women's cubicles in the toilets don't work and neither does one out of two of the hand dryers, tables are not cleaned after customers leave even though the pub wasn't busy, so other customers was sat sitting on dirty tables even some had still had the left over dirty plates after they had ate their meal!!!!!!!
