The best restaurants serving British food in Appleby North West Leicestershire East Midlands

A great local village pub serving well kept beer and fantastic, honest, home cooked food with good variety on an ever changing menu. Dog friendly.

I have been a loyal customer with the Appleby for years however a recent family visit has disappointed me. The food was bang average pub grub- lovely and you know what you’re getting. However, the Appleby have once again put their prices up and it’s now £16.95 for a lasagne- it’s not even a good meal it’s lacklustre at best yet they are once again putting prices up. It has disappointed that the Appleby have once again put prices up because I know the cost of ingredients and wages etc are rising as the country gets more expensive however I find this unreasonable and disheartening and this is why many families are now avoiding this fine pub at all costs.

Visited today for first time young lady behind the bar was lovely. Ordered 2 Sunday lunches of beef. My husband asked do you have horse radish no problem at all we do. When food arrived staff then said sorry we do not have any was used up yesterday at wedding. We let that go as can happen but the meat was awful not sure how this had been cooked but not a roast. Not able to cut it or chew it full of fat worse meat I have had. Not what I would call a Sunday lunch. We are not ones to complain but in all honestly whole meal except roast potatoes and Yorkshire wish I had gone home and cooked. We did complain and young lady behind bar kept apologising. It was not her fault as I kept telling her. Manager was not very accommodating but had few sarcastic comments on us leaving. Sad but defo will not recommend or return.

What can you say apart from a first rate service from the staff who attended to our every need and very swift to accommodate us a host who greeted us with open arms and warmth and our Christmas dinner that was absolutely Devine cooked to perfection and extremely enjoyable I’m glad we chose the odd house for our Christmas dinner thank you Craig and your wonderful team

Great lunch been twice now and all was good and well priced Beer was good too It’s a nice atmosphere and lovely without being noisy
