The best restaurants in Melton East Midlands

Lovely pub with fantastic food and very friendly staff. Incredibly dog friendly, big garden with a pizza and kebab hut too that does fantastic food! Highly recommend!

Called for lunch and received a very warm welcome Ordered sandwiches and fries , came with a side salad, coleslaw and excellent chips. All very fresh and beautifully made Dog friendly too. Would highly recommend and will definitely call again.

Absolutely delicious. Thank You. Nice and friendly delivery driver to.

I visited Stapleford Park with a family group - my wife, son and girlfriend and my father-in law and his wife. We wanted to celebrate my son’s girlfriend’s birthday with a special occasion visit because, being Australian, she relished the idea of doing something typically English. The venue itself is undoubtedly impressive, but the afternoon tea experience was very disappointing. On arrival there was no proper welcome from any member of staff engaged in afternoon tea service. We were shown to our table and given a briefing from a senior staff member. After this, the level of service was virtually non-existent. Nobody asked whether everything was OK, whether more or any different teas were required. Amazingly, for this type of event, only one type of tea per person was offered. The sandwiches were unappetising, and cakes decidedly unimpressive. My father-in-law who is 98 went to the bar to settle the bill, and it was only a few days later that he showed us he’d been charged 6 x £41, plus a service charge of £30. He wasn’t told about the service charge when paying. We were outraged at the underhand way this charge had been levied, and also the fact that there was no relationship between the charge and the poor service we had received. The service charge was later refunded following a phone call by my wife. There are obvious signs of weak management and poor staff training here. Avoid if you’re looking for a more rewarding experience.

5 star treatment especially Pzmak and excellent food too . A special thank you to Jeremy for organising it .👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Lovely food served by people who obviously enjoyed their work. Good management and friendly staff. Great range of desserts which we will try next time.

They have stopped serving in person, you can only order from an interface. I cannot see to operate, once when I asked they did help, but the last 3 times when I ask for help they say they are too busy… so I have stopped trying now…

Two of us plus our dog went for Sunday lunch The staff were very friendly and helpful The veggie lunch options were excellent We had a nut toast and a beetroot mushroom and Camembert wellington which were both delicious The food was beautifully presented and clearly freshly made The puddings of cherry and chocolate tortillas and lemon tart were gorgeous Good beer and wine ,great service and good value for money for such quality food We will certainly go there again

It was wonderful to find an excellent country pub open at lunchtime AND on a Monday. The food was excellent and so was the service. We can’t wait to go back to introduce more friends to this gem.

Got to be the best pub food in Leicestershire excellent selection of craft beers good friendly service always abliging.

I've been thinking this for a while but have still been coming in. Today I came in with a friend who hadn't been before and she said she felt uncomfortable. When I asked why she said the 2 girls behind the counter were just indifferent, didn't make eye contact, didn't say please or thank you and gave me such an eye roll when I asked for our table to be cleaned. Sadly I find that unacceptable. There is an abundance of coffee shops in Melton where the staff are polite and friendly and bring your drinks to the table...I think I'll stick with them!

Spoke to a very nice guy by the name of Zeke, fantastic service from the moment of being greeted at the door to leaving with my coffees, he's a credit to your company and not only that, speedy service, well mannered and polite, cheers zeke, top man !

Visiting from Wiltshire, I took my family, six of us altogether, to dinner on a Saturday night at The Carington Arms. The pub was v ery busy, working to full capacity in both bars and dining room. Clearly it is flourishing. The dinner was a great success. The menu was varied and offered a surprisingly wide choice. The service was exemplary, friendly, helpful and, considering the numbers, remarkably quick. The food was beyond delicious, and I could not recommend this pub highly enough. We all agreed that it was the best pub dinner we had eaten for years.

Great dog friendly pub Good value for money Only slight issue is the parking which is pay and display opposite

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!!!!!!!
