The best restaurants serving British food in Bottesford Melton East Midlands

Change of plan this time, no main course then not enough room for cake. Coffee and cake only this time. Just as full and satisfied when we had finished. PERFECT.

Excellent food and service. Great value for money. The best espresso Martini ever. We really enjoyed the evening and will be back again very soon.

Yet again a superb meal at this delightful place, reasonably priced, staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely brilliant.

Outstanding value and excellent food. We had the Dine for Less menu at £14 for 2 courses. It was delicious and reasonably sized portions. There is an a la carte and other specials on so choice to suit everyone! A warm welcome - a friendly village pub which caters for all budgets. Will be returning asap!

We visited the Old Forge this morning for the first time and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by Lola the dog who made our own little dog very welcome. The outside seating area was extremely pleasant and well kept with a charming brook and weeping willow setting the scene. Our breakfast of bacon and egg sandwiches served on toasted granary bread was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Our hosts were lovely and offered advice on some dog walking routes in the area which we went on to enjoy. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you very much, Jayne, Dean and Rexi x

Pre booked tables were being used, service dreadful, coffee tepid, cake arrived when we had all drunk our coffee, restaurant manager unfriendly and dismissive, tables not been wiped, crumbs under the chairs.Decor lovely and expensive but ‘fur coat and no knickers’ - need to get the essentials right pdq!!One positive - young waiter Tom was a star.
