Best KPortal Reviews
Escaped to here after making a grave error of booking an awful hotel on the A46 (never go the OYO)!
Was welcomed by a couple of regulars propping up the bar. The banter was good and the atmosphere inclusive and friendly.
I went for the steak and Stilton pie for scran and it was the right decision. Full of filling and flavour and the chips and peas were spot on too. If I could ask for anything more, it'd be a bigger gravy pot.
Had a guest bitter with dinner, which was decent.
After a long drive back home after a nice family weekend away, we stopped off for a rest bite and to freshen up. Upon entry asked the bar maid if we could use the lavatory, was told yes, and was helpfully pointed in the right direction. Upon returning however my old and disabled mother was set up on, what could only be described as an awful, spiteful, vicious bar prop, who thought it right to treat passer bys in the most awful and disgusting manner. Which is a shame, as we WAS going to stop for a hot drink potentially. But after the most rude women I've ever come across had verbally ASSULTED, us, only to also be Proved wrong by the bar maid about her VILE attack, we thought best of staying on, and just carried on home. Truly awful despicable customers ruining what was hoped to be a nice stop off, wouldn't recommend any outsiders stopping off her, seems to be expected that it's a "local pub, for local people".
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the owner when a child needed to use the rest room, I could hear her shouting at the mother of the Child from the other room, the lady explained she asked her staff first and they had said yes, she continued shouting that her staff wouldn't say yes to that, when the staff member spoke up saying she said it was OK for the young child to use the rest room no apologie was offerd to the woman! The owner continued with her vile rant large glass of wine in hand as the shocked woman and upset child walked out! Disgusting
Very nice. Locals friendly, staff professional and welcoming. Beer was excellent and wine good. Proper locals pub and menu looked tempting and not over gentrified which is rare nowadays. Some people still want a pub,not a restaurant and this is exactly that. Will be back on a regular basis. Well done.
First appearances were very good - handsome look pub in pleasant surroundings. However the experience within was a bit odd - staff seemed distracted fiddling with phones and it did feel a bit 'League of Gentlemen' with some oddly animated customers. Fearing I might be burned by a Tubbs and Edward double act I fled for my life. The pint I had was somewhat underwhelming but I moved on to the nearby Star Inn for respite.
Found this pub after dropping my daughter at brooksby college. It was so lovely, staff were very polite and helpful, food was really nice and fresh, especially loved the garlic mash!
Would definitely recommend, I was happy with the choices on the menu. We would definitely go back if in the area.
Thank you :)
Group of 6 went here for an evening as staying in nearby hotel.
The pub has recently opened with new owners so its only running a small menu. We had the blue lion burgers which were locally produced bison burgers and myself being a vegetarian had the vegan version. Fantastic burgers all round. Plus great service. So much we came back the next day and had bacon baps to cure us of our hangovers from the drinking the night before. Again fantastic for me as a delicious vegan bacon bap was available.
Can't wait to come back to try more when they have a bigger menu.
Lovely pub with great charm and atmosphere staff polite and friendly, just taken over by new landlady so menu a little limited but was very tasty and local , good selection of beers wine and spirits at reasonable prices.
Had a very pleasant even and will definitely be coming back .
