Lovely pub run by lovely people.
Arriving here was my only real quarm, which is of no fault of the lovely people that run it. The pub has no parking, but being a traditional village pub this is understandable.
We were warmly welcomed (and recognised from a previous visit) by Becky and her son (Cody, Connor, callum??) and proceeded to order from the menu. One thing I would like to note is that the menu is not set to just what is on there and is fully adaptable.
I ordered a mixed grill with black pudding (pictured) and ordering a side of onion rings and mushrooms was no trouble at all (this was an afterthought on my part). The wife had fish and chips.
Everything was cooked perfectly and with pride by Becky. I almost finished it but I blame the pint of Guinness for leaving a few scraps. The fish had a light gluten free batter and cooked to a very high standard (even Gordon Ramsay would approve). Cody (Connor, callum??) even came to open sauce packets for us as we are both inept at opening sachets.
Overall our visit was enjoyable and we felt very comfortable there. Thank you so much...
Read moreMe and my friend came here on thursday night. We entered the pub and got served our drinks. Withing a mintue of us sitting down we was told by the landlord and i quote. Any other night lads but not tonight. I said what have we done he didnt answer. Around 10 minutes lad 2 lads approached my friend and said i think you should leave. Again having doing nothing wrong we got the impression that we should leave so we did. About 1 hour later we returned around 10.55pm. Went in and asked for a drink we was refused. I said why still no clear answer. Asked for coke and water again refused. He then said do you want me to call the police. I said go on then. Around 5 mintues had pasted and 4 squad cars came. With no reason what so ever. Wasting taxpayers money for nothing. This pub needs to close down or new owner as the young landlord has no customer service skills what so ever. Young drugged up people playing pool. I could go on. This has too be the worse place to go in leicester by far and i will not be going back at all. Dive of a place who the landlord...
Read moreHaving visited on a few occasions in the last three months both in day and in the evening, I have found this a very freindly welcoming place. The food is really nice and the bar staff attentive and freindly. I had no problem being served. The function room is really lovely and I had my daughter's birthday party there, Louise and Mary couldn't do enough to help to help make it a great success. There is a great choice of drinks and some excellent promotions and themed nights. Cake and coffee on a Friday morning is a great time to meet up with your freinds for a relaxing chat and the kids are welcomed to. If it's a bit to busy as long as there isn't a function on the staff are happy to let you use the room to get away from it all. Overall this is a great village pub and worth a visit whether it's a night out a quiet drink or a...
