The best restaurants serving British food in Harborough East Midlands

We visited here last night for my sons 18th birthday. The service, the food, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing and it totally made his birthday so special. The owners decorated everywhere up with banners and a balloon I had dropped off and nothing was too much trouble. The food was spectacular and freshly made which is always nice, fantastic choice of food at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be returning and will highly recommend this beautiful establishment to all our friends and family. Mark and Rachel should be proud of this beautiful gem of a pub they have created as it is just such a wonderful little hidden treasure. We will hopefully see you again very soon. Thanks for making Jake's 18th birthday so special and one to remember :)

Food was great staff was very fast lovely experience will go back

Meal with friends. Absolutely fabulous. Cannot fault anything

Fab breakfast highly recommend and staff were lovely and friendly. Will definitely be going back!!! My daughter loved it.

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Sat in the conservatory area, lighting very pretty and heaters available in Winter. Homemade Chicken and leek pie was very tasty and so reasonably priced, added veg with it. Meal with 2 drinks was only £16. Would recommend and will return.

We made a reservation here for a family Sunday lunch as we have dined here in the past and are soon to be relocating to the area again to live so we’re keen to reacquaint ourselves. Everyone in the family party chose to skip starters and go straight in for main courses with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, seasonal greens and gravy Of either Roast Topside of Beef Roast Chicken Supreme Apricot & pork stuffing, bread sauce Roast Loin of Pork Burnt apple purée, crackling, apricot & pork stuffing Roast Trio of Meat Topside of beef, chicken supreme, roast loin of pork, burnt apple purée, crackling, we chose an additional couple of sides of cauliflower cheese to share then to save room for Dessert. Portion sizes of all dinners were ample without being generous but could have been bigger especially for the men in the party. The roasted vegetables As would have benefited from a longer cook and more of them on the plate. The roast potatoes needed longer too plus more seasoning and definitely more of them in the plate as they were quite stingy. The roast beef as tender but portion wise the amount l swerved was really small and the same was said my family members for the other meat choices. Gravy was tasty but it would have been nice to have been given an additional gravy jug for the table as that too was not m short supply on the plate Deserts were nice but the sticky toffee. pudding only came with ice cream and no option to swap for Custard. We Were not checked on during the meal until then end times if we needed anything which was a shame. All in all a nice much which considering we have been before we really wanted to love it sadly felt that this wasn’t as good as we’d had. Before. Not sure we will return considering our party size and cost.

Had a lovely meal here today, staff are always nice & food was lovely but what made our visit most enjoyable was Corey who served our carvery. What a lovely young man..so polite & served us with a smile & a little chat while we were getting our veg. Thanks Corey..ur a joy..Lesley & Gordon

Absolutely appalling service from young guy serving, who completely ignored me. Only one other customer who was waiting for ice and he turned his back on me to take app orders. I waited patiently for several minutes then had no choice but to leave and get a drink elsewhere. As I did this I heard a sarcastic goodbye from the bar area. I am a regular customer in the sugar Loaf and welcome the opportunity to speak with a senior manager and identify the barman as I think this behaviour should be highlighted as clearly customer service should be a skill required for the job he is employed to do.

Unfortunately, I cannot review the food, as after waiting over 30 minutes for someone to come and serve me, I decided to give up and go elsewhere. The restaurant was not busy at all being a Wednesday night (at most 10 tables, with most having one person dining from individuals staying at the hotel). However, I was obviously not a priority and it was more important for the staff to stand behind the bar laughing and joking with the locals, rather than serve customers!! Its fair to say I will not coming back!!

Visited on a weekday at 12 noon. Two people sitting in the window. My order was taken by an unsmiling, scruffily dressed girl who didn’t greet me, smile or say Thankyou when she took my order and payment . I would have ordered some cake but what was on display looked dire and unappealing. I waited over 15 mins for a cup coffee which was slammed down on the table! The cup wasn’t full and not very nice and together with the too loud jazz music playing in the background was not an experience I will be repeating. Strays is in a prime position in the square and should be a thriving business. This place needs an overhaul, a manager, and good staff to re- invent it to its full potential.
