The Bewicke Arms & Hallaton Tearoom — Restaurant in Harborough

We found this little gem of a place because my partner had booked us into a similar sounding pub, which he didn't realise was a 3hr drive away! So when I asked the name to put into the satnav, it naturally brought up the most local pub of this name. We arrived, gave our name and of course, they didn't have our booking 😂 we still were unaware we were in the wrong pub at this point but the hosts could not have been any more accommodating. They apologised for the error (OUR error!) and found us a seat. The bar area was quite busy and being so cosy it was quite loud, we decided to just have some drinks instead of food. We explained this to our host who instantly asked to come and look at a different table to see if it was more suitable, which it was. The whole pub is beautiful but there are areas more suited to eat and more which are better to drink in. After kindly moving us, our host brought us the menus back. My partner was confused as he is a fussy eater and was sure when he booked he had seen burgers on the menu. At this point he went back online to look and the penny dropped that we were in the wrong place 😂 we told our host when she returned and she could not of been any nicer. (She seemed pleased that she hadn't lost her marbles, given that she takes the bookings and could genuinely not remember us calling to book) After all the effort and hospitality my partner took the plunge and ordered the lamb trio. I had the beef onglet. Our meals came out and they were amazing. I watched my no frills, plain food, fussy eating partner, devour a plate of top notch food which in normal circumstances he wouldn't even attempt to order. Had we seen the actual menu before coming he would never have booked. But I'm so glad this mishap happened as we have found ourselves a new favourite place to eat. The best service, the nicest food I've ever eaten, a gorgeous pub and the most friendly, accommodating hosts we've ever stumbled across. Cannot recommended this place highly enough 👏🏻 (And don't even get me started on the Banana souffle and the trio of chocolate puddings. Heaven!) we will be back...

I have just checked out of this place after staying one night on a business trip. My first time here as I couldn’t get into my usual hotel. On arrival a lovely lady showed me to my room and told me that I was being given room 1 as an upgrade because they had no other visitors that night.||||Room was lovely an old converted stables with everything you need for an overnight stay. ||I was disappointed to find out their kitchen is closed for dinner at the moment and it would of been nice to know that prior to booking. Luckily the lady told me about another pub 5 minutes walk where I could get dinner.||||Dinner at The Fox was lovely with great service.||||Breakfast was ok at the cafe which was included in the room rate. ||||Now for my only issue- at 10.45pm last night there was lots of noise coming from people opening and closing doors and talking loudly in a block where I was meant to be the only person staying???||||Then someone attempted to open my door with a key!!! I was in bed!!! Thank god I had the key in the door. I shouted out that the room was occupied to which someone replied “oh sorry”! ||||This left me feeling very uncomfortable and meant I did not sleep very well. ||||Such a shame as this place could be really lovely.||||I did not see the owners in the morning to express...

We spent a wonderful few hours here on Sunday 23rd Sept enjoying some truly delicious food and celebrating my wife's birthday with our family and good friends. The fact the Bewick Arms is under new management of some 3 weeks seemed evident but only in small ways such as decoration (being in progress and ongoing) and we knew this before we chose to book them for our secial meal. From the moment we arrived to the time we drove away we were in good hands, the service was courteous, knowledgeable, attentive and warm and made us feel like we were well known regular customers. The food was beautifully cooked, presented and served and I might add...plentiful. When deserts came along my wife was presented with a special birthday wish written on her plate, a candle (no age mentioned..phew!) and a lovely chorus of Happy Birthday by staff and fellow diners alike, a lovely and much appreciated touch..but the lovely touches didn't end there. As we left, we took a moment to enjoy the sun and take a couple of pictures to mark the day and to our delight we were even offered to have this taken for us so we all could be together. Good value, good food, good times. Will...
