The Bell Burton Overy — Restaurant in Harborough

The Bell at Burton Overy has been synonymous with passion to produce great food and for the participant to enjoy great food. The Bell has now changed ownership and with this change, has that passion, quality and standards of hostelry continued? Unfortunately, Not. I was one of a party, of which 9/10ths of the dishes were extremely disapointing, and should in all respects not have come out of the kitchen, and clearly could not have been created with passion. The meal booked for an early supper at 6-15, turned into a full nite marathon. Starters came out at 8-15 with Mains not until just after 9pm. Clearly the kitchen was unable to cope with a variety of dishes, cupped with now more customers adding to our numbers.To add insult to, even though we were first in, all other customers were being served before us. It is fare to say that staff were friendly and happy to accommodate us when we arrived. It was unfortunate that the standard of table service needed improvement. Dislodging the Curry acompliments over customers clothing, then ignoring it, then having to be told to do something about it, then the customer not being given any compensation only added to a disappointing double birthday...

Went here for a little date night with my better half. Never been here before but was really pleased she chose it! Lovely welcome from the ladies behind the bar into a beautiful seating area, a really old pub feel with a fireplace. We ordered what turned out to be a huge plate of bread and plenty of olives, great start. Mains we had beef blade, incredibly well cooked, mushrooms and sauce were perfect. Other main was gammon and proper chunky chips, looked very nice with an egg and pineapple. Peas were a little anemic but that can happen. Can't believe I'm even commenting on the peas! Good selection of beers and soft drinks. Specials board though we didn't have them. Service was great and friendly, menu was nice and small so you know it's going to be good food.

Just go try it out. The car park is to the rear of the building, you will drive past the road first time, be aware! You won't be...

Such friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and wonderful food 😋 We booked a table for 7pm and the place was fairly busy for the entire time we were there showing how popular it is. We had starters, then my friend had the beef and I had the chef's special, beef and ale pie. Both of us were really impressed with the melt in the mouth meat, the generous amount of beautifully cooked vegetables, rich tasty gravy and the beautiful presentation. The portions were so big we couldn't finish it all, which was a shame because everything was delicious! We were then amazed by the prices, really good value for such a delicious and beautifully cooked meal. We'll definitely be back and we're really glad we found...
