The best restaurants serving British food in Harborough East Midlands

What a great find! We celebrated a birthday here this past weekend and cannot recommend visiting yourself. The food, service and venue were exceptional. When we booked they knew we were celebrating a birthday and put balloons and a banner above our table especially and even provided a complimentary cake at the end. We will definitely be returning

We are not local to the area however every 2weeks we have a 2hour window whilst waiting for our Grandaughter who goes to a pony club meeting.The Ashby Arms is a lovely clean well established pub, food is excellent and reasonably priced. However the greeting tonight left a lot to be desired, we were the first diners to be seated , followed eventually by 2 other tables, but were slightly disappointed to be the last of the 3 to be served , which won't stop us coming back but made us feel very unwelcome. 😔

Great food and service. The Sunday roast dinner was lush, followed by custard and crumble 😍the staff were also very friendly and very welcoming, and I would definitely return 😀 thank you, Karen and Di 😊

Picked up a family (4 of us) Sunday lunch takeaway today and we were all very pleased with everything. All the meats were tender and juicy and the vegetables all good, finished off with plenty of very tasty gravy - great value. Very friendly manager / owner(?) who was extremely helpful by calling me back in response to some email questions. Highly recommended.

Great food and service- really lovely lunch! Super food salad with king prawns was delicious as was the fish finger sandwich!

We ordered the beef filled yorkshire pudding, the beef was so over cooked. The whole meal was very bland. The pub is in a beautiful location but had an unpleasant smell when you arrived.

Easter Sunday lunch , Carvery, I'm not a fussy eater but the potatoes were like leather and the stuffing like rubber. The meal was inedible. Good value still needs to achieve a basic level of quality. Sorry this did not.

Following a meal with friends in town we went in for late drinks on Saturday night. It was very busy but we managed to find a table for 4. I'm sure they were all old enough, but there was a lot of young people in there, it's probably us just getting old! My husband and I returned for breakfast. Can't beat a wetherspoons breakfast to sort out a hangover! Food was excellent. They ran out of milk but the guy at the bar quickly filled up the jug when I asked, even if he couldn't figure out how to shut it!

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.
