The best restaurants serving British food in Melton East Midlands

Unfortunately a disappointing Sunday roast, Yorkshire puddings are clearly bought in vs the website pictures of homemade. We chose roast beef, which was stated as medium, but unfortunately it was really tough, we had to ask for a steak knife to cut it and ended up taking a good chunk home for our dog as it was so tough and chewy. A real shame as it is a nice pub and we were looking forward to a really good Sunday roast.

I visited Stapleford Park with a family group - my wife, son and girlfriend and my father-in law and his wife. We wanted to celebrate my son’s girlfriend’s birthday with a special occasion visit because, being Australian, she relished the idea of doing something typically English. The venue itself is undoubtedly impressive, but the afternoon tea experience was very disappointing. On arrival there was no proper welcome from any member of staff engaged in afternoon tea service. We were shown to our table and given a briefing from a senior staff member. After this, the level of service was virtually non-existent. Nobody asked whether everything was OK, whether more or any different teas were required. Amazingly, for this type of event, only one type of tea per person was offered. The sandwiches were unappetising, and cakes decidedly unimpressive. My father-in-law who is 98 went to the bar to settle the bill, and it was only a few days later that he showed us he’d been charged 6 x £41, plus a service charge of £30. He wasn’t told about the service charge when paying. We were outraged at the underhand way this charge had been levied, and also the fact that there was no relationship between the charge and the poor service we had received. The service charge was later refunded following a phone call by my wife. There are obvious signs of weak management and poor staff training here. Avoid if you’re looking for a more rewarding experience.

My friend and I booked for lunch on Thursday, lovely pub very friendly, I had a steak pie that was fine my friend had a chicken that was lovely, then we ordered desserts mine a chocolate brownie with salted caramel, it was all chocolate and chocolate sauce my friend had apple crumble , it came in a dish which was full of what looked and tasted like apple sauce with a tiny sprinkle of crumble on top we were both disappointed, my friend left nearly all of his, we mentioned it to the young barman and asked him to mention it to chef, we sat for a while longer then went to pay our bill, and I asked the young barman what was the chefs reply and he told us oh I didn’t tell him, my criticism was constructive and I’m disappointed he didn’t mention it so chef could put it right for the next customer.

We visited in the first week of opening so there was still a sense of things settling down but our tuna mayo rolls and cakes were delicious and there is a very good gluten free offer. Mrs B has a clear vision of what she wants to create, a modern take on a traditional tea room good food catering for all tastes and needs at the heart of it. Good luck to her

Great place to socialise over a few beers.

quite disappointing that they didn’t have a nut roast and that their roast potatoes were all cooked in beef fat as i would have loved a sunday roast. but the food was absolutely delicious and will definitely be coming back in the future! :)

We visited as a last minute booking for 2 families totalling 22 people the day after our daughters wedding. The owners and staff were very accommodating and friendly and put on Sunday lunch for us with only 2 days notice. Both mains and desserts were good ( a choice of chicken or beef for main course) and everyone was very happy with their meal. The facilities are great for all ages with a games and toys room and a play area with a swing, slide and climbing frame in the garden which our children enjoyed. Other members of our family had visited on the Friday night and they were very satisfied with the meals and service they received too. Thank you for contributing to a lovely weekend. Thank you for helping to make our day very enjoyable. The ocassion w

Rustic historic pub in the centre of Melton Mowbray, drinks priced reasonably and a lovely beer garden for when the weather is nice. Staff are friendly too, great atmosphere in the winter (very cosy and homely). Highly recommend if you're visiting Melton Mowbray and want to enjoy a nice drink in a traditional pub

Took my 91-year-old father for Sunday roast, and it was excellent. I had the beef, and my husband and father had chicken. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, the yorkshire pudding was yummy 😁 and all three plates were cleared, and we were all happy and full. The staff were wonderful and attentive and looked after us very well. I'm really looking forward to booking again 😀

As always, we have absolutely fantastic food and customer service. It’s a pleasure to eat here. The owners are always super friendly despite being rushed off their feet. Food is always fresh with decent portion sizes. I highly recommend eating here.
