The best restaurants serving British food in Forest Bradgate Charnwood East Midlands

We went today at 9am for breakfast as we’d had such a lovely meal a few months ago and were very excited to go after a sunrise walk through Bradgate. We all had poached eggs in some form and not one was runny which to me is the whole premise of a poached egg. The ham was delicious in my eggs Benedict but we were all very disappointed and frankly annoyed we’d paid someone to cook eggs who clearly couldn’t. We didn’t get a smile when the drinks were served or the food and no one came to check if it was any good. Hopefully the fact that the plates had all the eggs still on there might have given a hint. We won’t be back any time soon.

Our first order was spot on - generous topping on the pizza, delivered within the time stated. Second order was just for one person - same as the first order, could not fault it. However, a couple of nights ago we ordered the usual...and were not that impressed. The driver failed to bring a bottle of coke which was part of the package, the topping was almost void of pepperoni on both pizzas and the garlic bread was burnt. The fries were fine but I'd thought given how expensive their prices are I thought the quality would have been consistent. Have only been a customer for about a month and the service has taken a nose dive. Shame really. Will be going elsewhere in the future.

After a walk at Bradgate Park we chose to stop in here for brunch. We checked the menu outside and were surprised to find that the prices inside had been inflated quite considerably. Did they forget to change the menu outside? I think probably not. After waiting for a table we then sat down on a dirty table to order, waited half an hour for our food, which then came out lukewarm at best and really quite underwhelming. £70 for 3 breakfasts, 3 drinks and pancakes is certainly steep I'd say, but when it is such poor quality I'm not sure how this place gets the reviews it does.

Waited 25 minutes for a couple of coffees and cake. staff all seemed very stressed and hostile. Order was incorrect when it arrived, just overall an unpleasant experience

Excellent service, very friendly & professional. Something for everyone on the menu. Good availability of wine by the glass. Our food was delicious. Particularly like the mini dessert/hot drink option.

Very nice and cosy atmosphere, what an english pub should look like. But we've had to eat with our coat on, not what you're expecting from an English pub. We came here on purpose to eat in this kind of environment and for the food offer but we've been left a bit disappointed, 40minutes journey. Book a table for 12pm, opening time, already 2, out of 4 meat options, weren't available, menu offer for lunch time, very small and not very in line with the time of the year (Christmas time), I was expecting a more festive menu, off course my preference!!! I'm afraid we won't go back there again.

My husband and I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone at the wheatsheaf for making our day so special. We got married on the 20th September and hired the room upstairs for a big table of 20 and had our wedding meal here. The pub has such a lovely welcoming feel and the staff and food are amazing. Everyone is so accommodating and service fantastic! We definitely will be returning. Highly recommended. Thank you again to you all. Mr & Mrs Marshall

Lovely spot. Dog friendly. Hot, decent portions of food with really, really, lovely staff. How Petra put up with my continuous orders for decaf coffee without pouring it over me is beyond me. 🤣 Great place, great friends, great time.
