The best restaurants in Melton Warwick Melton East Midlands

Ordered for my husbands birthday and arrived 50 minutes late! I can understand it’s a Friday and they are busy but when you order at 5.50pm for a 7.00 delivery it’s very disappointing!!!

Very nice Sunday roast, friendly staff with great service,

As visitors from Oxford we left the choice of venue to our 92-year-old host. She got it it spot on. There was no trouble parking in the huge car park of an ancient building with all the nooks & crannies, beams & uneven flooring anyone could hope for. A good old village pub full of atmosphere and original features. My eye was immediately taken by the row of four hand-pumps at the bar (taps for the modern beers were on the other leg of the compact 90º serving area) covering a range of Marston's ale;. Breakspears' Oxford, Wainwright's Lake & Courage Directors included, so a hard choice. Mine was a well-kept pint (curse drink driving laws ). We ordered food at the table from a good choice, although just the haloumi burger or curry for the veggies. Being a quiet Tuesday lunchtime it came relatively quickly and all at once. Served politely and attentitively it was a sight to behold: generous portions, well-cooked and delicious. Only one of us managed to clear our plates due to the amount stacked on them. Sadly, no room for desserts. The prices were very reasonable too and that made for a good value meal. Very satisfying all round. Next time we'll have to come for beer and desserts in the sunny garden. It's good to see that an ancient village establishment can retain its character while becoming a genuine gastropub.

The Anchor is a top pub. Paul is world class bartender. Great vibes. Love the local feel and cold beers. Have a game of darts as well.

Great pub with fab atmosphere. Dog friendly And cosy. Good food and very friendly Staff. Large size meals with great portions including good vegan options. Overall a fab afternoon spent with friends. Thanks

Had to ask about my click and collect

We were actually here for a Wake. I have been here several times and found it to be a very friendly little pub. The staff had put together a reasonably versatile buffet for the Wake, too much white bread, but that's personal choice. The lemon drizzle cake was outstanding. I was pleased that the barmaid suggested that the surplus food should be taken to the bar to be shared rather than wasted.

Lovely location, with sooooooo much potential. We were served a limp sausage roll which had just been heated up in a microwave. Very disappointing.

Finally a local pizzeria that serves an authentic Italian pizza. The Calzones were really tasty too. Staff were really friendly and patient with our energetic young kids. Will definitely be back.

We visited Melton for the Tuesday market and decided to pop in here for a drink and biscuits whilst we were there. No offer of help to take the drinks to our table despite it being perfectly evident we are "less mobile". Bloke with a big unhygienic beard handling food and drinks. Abruptly told by his oppo to "sit down and I'll shout when it's ready". Toilets basic and not that clean and customers, and people walking in off the street to use them, left the door open a few times after using it. Too idle to slide it shut ! Not pleasant when it opens straight into the cafe. Quite a simple process to close it - slides in the opposite direction to opening it. We visit Melton three or four times a year but will give this place a miss when we return.

The customer service was questionable, felt like the girl was inconvenienced by my request. The “naan” bread was more like a fajita than a naan. However, the kebab meat was delicious and generous and the sauce was fantastic so take that as you will. If you are drunk and just want a generous meal then this is the place.

Awful service, got the order wrong and was over charged, not the first time either being charged incorrectly, got home opened my meal (burger meal) only had a couple of chips. Just awful service won't be going there again. Previously, pizzas haven't been great, once all could taste on the pizza was garlic
