The best restaurants serving British food in Blaby East Midlands

Really disappointing. We visited yesterday for the first time. A couple and two dogs. Wanted to walk the dogs then go in for lunch. Parked the car and walked to see a fence with a sign clearly saying no public access. Went to reception and a note saying to go to the bar. Went to the bar and no one serving. Waited. So eventually come out to my partner and dogs who was talking to another couple with a dog.m who were also trying to find how to walk around the lake. My partner torn went off to talk to the man fixing his car who said to ask at the bar. He was not very welcoming either was the lady bringing him a drink so my partner wanted to leave. but I perceived and went back to the bar to be welcomed by three very polite young staff who informed me to walk past the no admission sign. So we walked around the beautiful lake and returned for some food. There was one table eating and a group outside on the terrace. Maybe 20 in total and we were told they weren’t serving any more people. So we went to stoney cove down the Road fantastic service and lovely food.

My family and I have been using this restaurant for some years now,we have always been looked after by the always friendly staff there. Food is always well presented and the service is always excellent.

The Bulls Head is a local hub for people that want to mix with their friends, have a drink from the varied menu at the bar and watch sport. It doesn’t serve food which is available at other locations within a short distance.

Having recently moved into the area we decided to try the local Chippy as we had heard it was under new management. What a treat. The fish was delicious, chips were thick and chunky and both were freshly cooked while we waited. Will definitely be back for more! There is no phone number for them at the moment but were told this was in hand. No hesitation in recommending. Friendly staff.

Waited to get a table ( place empty) the Waiter sat there on his mobile and ignorant of who walked in. Tables sticky and chairs stained and dirty. Menu had tomato sauce over it. Bananas black and soggy. No decaf tea or coffee available. Awful place

Being our local, favourite and ‘Goto Pub’, rather than cook we decided to go for a nice meal having been many times this year. However, the usual customer experience we are used to had vanished and replaced with the worst Customer Service we have encountered for a very long time. On entering the pub, our reception was less than welcoming. We wondered if the person seating people was having a bad day. We were shown to our table and ordered food/drinks in a timely manner. When the food arrived, we asked for a new salt pot as ours was damp and no salt was coming out. The dark haired girl serving us said, ‘Well if you unscrew the top you can get to the salt that way’, and abruptly walked off. We asked again and were told, ‘Well they are all like that’ and again abruptly walked off. Annoyed by this, I went up to the dark haired girl at the till who was showing a new girl how things are done and told her she can have her faulty salt pot, and her customer service was appalling. Ten minutes later and at the end of our meal she appeared with a little dish with salt in it, we think trying to make a point. Even more annoying and rude. We finished our meal almost immediately, paid (was asked if we would like to leave a tip – I did think of a few choice words), and left Next day, I cancelled our Christmas Day booking that we were looking forward to, with a lame excuse ‘ Having to Work’ as there was not enough space to enter this review. It means that I will lose my deposit (I doubt the Red Cow will read this and refund it), but we cannot risk having our Christmas Day ruined by awful customer service again. I also strongly begrudge spending £300 on Christmas Day at such an unwelcoming place. We will now take our business elsewhere. I do hope the owners of this establishment read this as we were so upset, annoyed and let down. I wish I could give it less than 1 out of 5.

We was driving along and seen this beautifully looking pub so we decided to stop for abit of lunch..great facilities very clean and lovely food the waitress who served us I couldn’t ask for a more bubbly friendly person I believe her name was Julie ever so polite and really made us chuckle witch allways helps she put us in such a bright mood with her personality so it was a great environment great staff and really good food be sure to check this place out .

Good proper pub. Music, pool table, darts.

Great beer, great attitude and brilliant service everytime 👏

Quaint village pub, full of local.people but welcoming to strangers . Restaurant and takeaway Thai cuisine

This was a spontaneous visit having not been before nor had any recommendations. Normally, this type of excursion is disappointing but not on this occasion. We looked at their website before visiting which looked good, the reality is it is better in the flesh. A lovely welcome with very friendly staff. The choice of drinks is great with some lovely real ales and decent wines. The star of the show is the food. A relatively simple menu but our choice of coq au vin was wonderful. The deserts are also to die for! Prices are very reasonable especially with the quality of the food and service. We will be back!!!

Excellent value for money, Slightly grumpy front of house staff, or at least weren't welcoming. Food very well cooked, some may say too burnt, but that's how I like it

Bring Ray and his family back they did nothing wrong. Fantastic customer service

Had a great time, Pete, I think, was the only member of staff on, The food was absolutely amazing, couldn’t go wrong will be back again!!
