The best restaurants serving British food in Charnwood East Midlands

Great meal, lovely staff. This is such a gem of a place, great atmosphere. Tuesdays are very popular due to the quiz, which is great fun.

Nice bar, good food, friendly staff, BUT DO NOT USE THE TOILETS 🤢. They were absolutely disgusting! I should of known when walking up the stairs to them! I don’t think they had been cleaned for weeks!cobwebs everywhere, no toilet paper, toilets hadn’t and wouldn’t flush! No lock on the doors!! Terrible.. and the smell!! 🤢🤢.

I just popped in here for a pint after a long walk. Very good barman, excellent ham cob for only £2.50! The regulars were really friendly and helpful too.

All staff were friendly and helpful and the doors was great. Sam the waitress was very attentive and friendly and nothing was to much trouble for her. Will definitely be visiting here again.

Been here a few times and always seem to regret it when the bill comes out. Working farm is a good atmosphere, nice food, OK staff, eye-wateringly expensive prices to the point you're better off going somewhere - ANYWHERE - else. Decided now won't be going back.

I frequent this pub simply for their mega mixed grill.. the particular pub in Loughborough the chef here takes really pride in his work and the food is beyond delicious, I was a little bit annoyed when I had eaten it all. All the staff are lovely, too.. even better, with the app it’s 25% off food and a free drink!

Had the food delivered which arrived in lightening time and the food was absolutely banging. The kebabs were full of meat and spicy but not too spicy and not swimming in grease, the fried chicken was spot on, crispy and juicy.

Put your spatula down, throw that joint of meat at the neighbour’s annoying cat, and take off that silly apron. Save yourself from insanity, boredom and a dirty oven, and get your arse down to The Blacksmiths. A Sunday dinner that would make the first British ancestors weep with pride of what they started. Got a loved one thats too good for you, and you want to treat them for a meal before they realise they could do better? Take them over here and youll be sorted nicely. Book and enjoy!

No turkey available for one hour later, so had to wait for a vegetarian option to be cooked so we ate separately on my birthday lunch. Very disappointed.

First impressions; No table cloth! Drab room! Receptionist was also waitress! Tea was served in horrid white chunky cups. Afternoon tea on a chunky tiered plates...tiny scones on top with pre packed clotted cream...not even in a dish. Sandwiches were filled with what tasted like sandwich fillings and cheap ham. There was no finesse....we thought it was a bit like Fawlty Towers....and expected John Cleese to appear! It was great to be with friends who could all laugh at it! Won't be going back for seconds! It wasn't even well presented... We had a knife and had to use our tea spoons to serve jam!

I rased a complaint regarding the deficiency of customer service,this was because I feel a member of staff came across as condescending. I came to the pub week late and the individual member of staff deal with me in an hostile manner. The words she spoke in a truculent way was" I am a nice person how dare you say that about me everyone here thinks I am nice" After this conversation the issue was razed with Champs management at first they gas light saying there was no female member of staff. After member conversation champs management admit she was the but say "this was total out of character "once again gas lighting the situashion. I took the issue higher it felt once again that champs overall did want to take customer service serusly.

Stopped off for lunch after visiting ikea. Male member of staff emptied the rubbish bins then picked a plate up with our sandwich on it without even washing his hands in between. We said we had seen him handle the bins and he actually turned round and said 'it's OK because I only touched the plate,not the sandwich!!! Tables and floors are filthy, toilets also unclean...not starbucks usual standard.

Been here a few times in the past, and always had a nice meal. However, this time I'm afraid it was not good. Don't think we'll bother with it again!!

Thought I'd try chips from here, never again, hot, hard and absolutely tasteless, I'm now nursing a burnt tongue.
