We went for a family meal. I Had the steak, the flavours were great, and all meals were cooked well. The steak came with a good range of sides, and the rest of the family were pleased with their food.

A few things stood out to me, that i would expect to be better for the high prices they are charging.

Upon arriving we had to wait at the bar for twenty+ mins and have our order taken there, while there was loads of seating available in the restaurant and we had booked. If you have booked and arrive on time you usually are able to go straight to your table, this was strange way greet and serve us i felt.

The pre booking / reservation system asks for a ridiculous £24 per person if you cancel inside 24 hours. This is Earl Shilton not London, £10 is the going rate. £24 is just greedy. This was enough to put us of going for years. We have never cancelled on restaurants before, but i think this sets completely the wrong tone, before you have even eaten. I appreciate its a small family business, but this high cancellation charge is just the wrong way to start.

Service was very good, food came fast, but the lack of menus, made it hard to make a decision for desert, i understand you change the menu regularly, people expect menus, its a basic restaurant standard.

Desserts were divine when they did arrive.

The flavour and presentation of food was absolutely great, so i cant knock that.

Overall we would dine again, now we know what to expect.

We have dined here twice nice and are yet to be disappointed! I love the concept of the seasonal menu, and the execution is on point every time.
I am a vegetarian and found the first time that the menu was limited but there are still always options and this does not taint my experience - the vegetarian food is always amazing.
The combinations of flavours and fresh ingredients are incredible and it’s a really lovely place for a treat. Prices are relatively high but for the quality of food you can’t complain!
The side of parmesan brocolli is something else!
Dessert is always amazing - salted caramel crème brûlée is out of this world!

Lovey decor and parking very easy, I feel the price is a little high for the food served, I was happy with my starter and main but my partner wasn’t, his starter of cold meat platter was very bland served with cold onion which wasn’t even a relish, maybe could have chosen better. But paying those prices you expect wow. I had the pigeon salad and trio of pork, would recommend for a special occasion but we wouldn’t rush back.

A beautiful building awaits your arrival and exactly opposite a free car park.
The Staff are extremely attentive throughout your visit. They want to listen to your comments and deliver an exceptional service.
The menu is on a huge board in the bar. A board you can actually read , as let’s face it menu print is getting more difficult under low lighting to look through.
You could be there for hours just choosing the menu itself. Everything is there and definitely something for everyone.
The wine menu is exceptional and the choices available compliment the food admirably.
The food is cooked to perfection and one of the sides that can be ordered (peas and pancetta) is an absolute must. You could eat that dish just on its own.
The 3 courses my husband and I had were completely opposite. Meat and fish choices, except for the pudding and cheese, but non the less perfect.
I highly recommend a visit to this exceptional restaurant and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Guys for the most relaxing evening. See you all again soon.

Would highly recommend eating here. Lovely decor inside with parking opposite the restaurant. They were extremely accomodating to my gluten free intolerance and even tweaked things on the menu and gave options of two new deserts. Service was amazing too! Will be visiting again.

We came here about a month ago to celebrate my birthday as the lockdown eased in Leicester. When we made the reservation, we told them we were celebrating my birthday, and they placed a birthday card on our table on arrival, which was incredibly nice and thoughtful of them.

It was a Friday evening booking and, while busy, they maintained social distancing guidelines.

The food we ordered was lovely and varied. The knock-out dish was their signature MasterChef dish, which was cooked perfectly. And I especially liked their praline crème brûlée.

The price was reasonable too. And there's also a public car park opposite the restaurant which is free in the evenings.

I would highly recommend this place if you're after a friendly, family run restaurant that offers a good variety of food.
