Best steak in Leicestershire and beyond! My quest to find the best steak in Leicestershire, and beyond, is over! It's right here thanks to Mollie, one of the few chefs who understand what rare is and how to achieve it to perfection! Perfectly rendering fat while keeping the meat rare is a skill few chefs ever achieve, Mollie is one of the few! The fact she is creating heaven for diners with extremely high quality meat cannot detract from her skills. A chef who knows her temperatures is worth their weight in gold! Anyone can ruin even the highest quality. Absolutely thrilled! Superb venue with lots of different seating options, intimate and sociable. Brilliant decor, very tasteful with theme that is varied but makes sense throughout the venue. Ales kept very well, staff who are professional, friendly and most importantly attentive without being invasive. Immaculately clean, ample parking, brilliant something for everyone menu, very reasonably priced, almost under priced. Absolutely fantastic venue for large parties or something more intimate. Well done to a brilliant team and especially Mollie who is producing steaks that would not look, or taste, out of place in a Michelin star restaurant!

Came here for lunch for the first time and it is a lovely wee place. Service was ok. A server did spill a glass of coke but did apologise. Accidents happen but obviously does impact the visit. Service was not bad but didn't stand out. The absolute highlight though was the pork belly. An amazing bit of meat cooked to absolute perfection. That by itself is a 5/5. It was meant to come with bubble and squeak but it was more like mash (which I wouldn't have chosen). But good value and portion all in all Inspired by the quality I chose the crumble of the day! It was toffee Apple which sounded amazing. But there was NO CRUMBLE!!! Just a mush of filling with no crumble the texture was off. Was like eating baby food. It was super disappointing after the main.

Ate in the restaurant here on Saturday night and it was so lovely. V friendly waitress (ginger girl). Had the steak and ale pie (LOADS of onions, not much steak and a lot of pastry so bear this in mind if you want a meat-heavy pie - but the few chunks that were in there were v tender). But the veg that came with the pie was delicious, not overdone like most pub meals! My friend had the pork belly bao burger. She said the meat was really nice, but the whole thing a bit too tangy? The fries were v good. We shared the kinder cookie dough dessert but it was a bit overdone, more of a cookie than cookie dough. Wish we got the Biscoff bread and butter pudding! But it’s a really nice pub, the Malbec was delicious and was bustling on a rainy sat night.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Lime Tree pub and was blown away by the exceptional service and atmosphere provided by their amazing team. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel right at home.

What sets The Lime Tree apart from other pubs is their dedication to providing top-notch service. The team here goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer has a memorable experience. They push past any barriers to deliver magnificent service, making you feel like a valued guest at all times.

Not only is the service outstanding, but the pub itself has also undergone a stunning refurbishment that has truly elevated it to a whole new level. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and exudes a sense of sophistication. It is clear that a lot of thought and care has been put into creating a space that is both stylish and comfortable.

But the true highlight of my visit was the food. The Lime Tree is now a destination for gastronomic sensations. The menu offers a variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I was impressed by the attention to detail in presentation and the use of fresh, quality ingredients. Every dish I tried was a true delight for the taste buds.

I must also mention the selection of drinks at The Lime Tree. Whether you're in the mood for a craft beer, a glass of wine, or a perfectly mixed cocktail, their bar staff will not disappoint. They are knowledgeable and passionate about their drinks, and are more than happy to make recommendations based on your preferences.

Overall, I cannot praise The Lime Tree and its team enough. They are truly 5 stars and deserve a special mention for their outstanding service, stunning refurbishment, and mouthwatering food. The Lime Tree is no longer just a pub, but a destination for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gastronomic sensation and a great...

Really disappointed in the service.

I Had Sunday off work and decided to go out for a carvery with my best friend which is a treat for me as I don't normally get to go out for these on Sundays so decided to book with the lime tree restaurant.

I booked on Friday online and they got back to me on Saturday morning saying I could have a table but its in the bar area which at first I was a bit unsure but they said that its still set up like the restaurant and I even get table service like the restaurant.

When I arrived on Sunday I walked in and there was no sign or greeting of where to go and when me and my friend waited around nobody came to us to ask if we was ok, we had to go up to the bar area to ask what to do and they sent us in the restaurant area. When we got into the restaurant area there was still no greeting, I had to tell them that we had booked and wanted a seat. The restaurant area didn't look busy so didn't understand why we didn't get a seat in there but got sent back to the bar area to get seated and I came to realise they was only seating table of two's in the bar area and bigger families in the restaurant area which was discrimination for us.

When we got seated we just got left waiting and again had to shout someone that we wanted the carvery bit and no-one came up to us asking what drinks we wanted to start off with. When someone finally came up to us their was no smile and greeting or friendliness and just took our order and walked off but didn't ask what drinks we wanted. Me and my friend discussed to just walk out because nobody wants service like this when we are paying for their service.

So in the end had to walk out and ring for another place to go but was so disappointed and would...

A review of two halves this one as a bit of a mixed experience. We had booked for Sunday dinner and decided to use one of the tables outside - they were happy with us doing this. The first negative came in a mix up with the first round of drinks with the bar staff pouring a lager instead of cider - not a major issue but could have been easily avoided. We then ordered food - four adult meals and two children's meals - and waited. The first two plates of food arrived, the food on them was good. We then waited 10 minutes for the next two plates, which had were the children's meals. After a further 15 minutes of waiting, the final two meals had not arrived. We spoke to staff who went to find out and were told they would be with us soon. It took a further twenty minutes for the food to arrive. With a bit of promoting, they agreed to give free desserts to the children. It is worth noting that the food was very tasty but let down by the fact that none of us were able to eat together - the point of going out for dinner! It's also worth noting that we have been here before and had far better experiences. Other plus points - it has a nice play area with bouncy castles, the staff were all polite, the facilities were clean and the pricing...
