The best restaurants in Appleby North West Leicestershire East Midlands

Very sorry to write this but felt compelled after such a shocking experience. We waited 20 minutes to be served, over an hour for our food and when the food came 2 out of 4 orders were wrong. We got charged £50 for very mediocre food. A small jacket potatoe with no side salad was £7 with 1 filling, plus then an extra £2 for a very small amount of cheese as an extra filling ! a friend ordered a Turkey and cranberry roll which was essentially a basic white roll with some butter and 2 pieces of packet Turkey on it and a side of cranberry to spread on herself. I’ve been before to this cafe and had a lovely up of tea / cake. I recommended it to 3 friends today and was quite embarrassed by how bad it was. They said they were short staffed, but the food quality and pricing does not add up either.

Great food, friendly atmosphere, staff are friendly and offer and adapt your meal to suit your taste. Will definitely visit again.

Great food, staff are lovely. Beautiful location

Fantastic place. The venue is kept clean and tidy. The drinks menu is full of strong choices. Staff are helpful and welcoming. Would recommend.

Ladies loo has thick black crusty edges around the floor, a real sign of staff laziness. On cubicle liht (the one without the window) was not working, so not useable. Beer prices have rocketed since late August, by a pound a pint. There were very few people in there, and it was fairly obvious why. Businesses like this need to be well managed, this one has gone well downhill and will not last if this low standard is maintained. Like many other comments on here, this place has been excellent up until very recently. If it carries on like this it will close.

We stayed as we were attending a wedding nearby, it was basic and quite dated. There was a funny smell throughout the building. The breakfast was expensive for what it was and they got it wrong first time and the lady serving was pretty abrupt. It’s fine for a one night stay.

Sunday dinner was amazing lots of veg and gravy. At great prices. Pudding selection was great too.

The best part of the visit was the location/setting. This is our second visit we were not impressed first time two years ago but decided to try it again for Sunday Lunch. Our opinion has not changed the food was under welming and overpriced, meat was swamped in gravy, roast potatoes not crisp. Two courses for 29.50 were starter and main, we feel there should be an option of main and desert. There are far better offerings locally

Fantastic pub, lovely staff. Very warm atmosphere. I would recommend this pub night or day to anyone

I did a last minute booking for this hotel, to bring our dog away for the worst night of fireworks near us and to visit a local place that we love. Chose this hotel because of how out of the way it was (so hopefully firework free) and it was great. Staff were super friendly to both of us and our dog. There was a brilliant grassed courtyard where we could take her out to stretch her legs and lots more grass areas around the hotel too. I requested a ground floor room to make it easier on us taking trips outside and they honoured my request. Couldn't have wished for a better place for the night and we will likely be back sometime.

What can you say apart from a first rate service from the staff who attended to our every need and very swift to accommodate us a host who greeted us with open arms and warmth and our Christmas dinner that was absolutely Devine cooked to perfection and extremely enjoyable I’m glad we chose the odd house for our Christmas dinner thank you Craig and your wonderful team

Sadly this pub deserves to go out of business. Undrinkable beer , uneatable food and a poisonous, two faced landlord. We have tried on several occasions to get a decent pint or basic food and failed. On the most recent visit we were told only Pedigree was on which very few people wanted and turned out to be foul. Despite apologies at the time there were no discounts on beer that was already expensive.

I’ve visited this McDonald’s on several occasions as I live nearby. Large fries that are half full and burgers that are just thrown together. Staff are made up mainly of kids so customer service is non existent. But what’s really baffling is the amount of times there’s no milkshakes or McFlurrys - particularly later in the evenings - always down to a broken machine 🤔 This place is a classic example of why fast food franchises don’t always work. Avoid at all costs

Stopped at this McDonald’s travelling back from Birmingham 10,15 at night. Pulled up and waited to be asked for our order, they seemed to take ages! My partner said “for god sake hurry up” then a girl said “ if you are going to swear I won’t take your order” I then told my partner to leave it! Don’t want to order from them! I confronted her and asked what part of god sake is swearing to you!! She shut the glas doors and smirked at me 😠 We asked to speak to the management she was absolutely no use, saying her staff member heard us swear!! Whatever keep your 3 star food and rubbish rude unprofessional staff!!! Disgraceful service!!!!!’

They are foreigners they don't understand English they good my order wrong and it was cold and tasted crap
