Restaurant at The Hunting Lodge in Charnwood

Amazing service, visited for our anniversary xx great people.. big thanks to everyone xx

Great food great service found the bed uncomfortable

Had a family meal, food was excellent, and staff went above and beyond, helping make a celebration perfect.

Only went for Food really nice menu with a good selection of dishes and when they came out to the table they looked and tasted yummy. Be warned they are Good Portions. Staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Will deffo visit again Thanks for a great night.

Great food, great beer., great atmosphere '⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food is amazing, staff are friendly

The seafood sharer was excellent. As was the service. Lovely.

Amazing place, on the pricey side but worth every penny, I had the hunters burger and sticky toffee pudding for dessert absolutely amazing presentation, I didn't get a starter but looking at others they looked fab also. My only negative was that the glasses weren't as clean as they could have been, other than that, can't fault the place 5 stars all the way.

Such a warm welcome, a really lovely lunch in sumptuous surroundings and a fabulous room! Yes, it is a bit tired in places, but the overall experience was a thoroughly warm and positive one. All of the staff were friendly, happy and helpful and the place just had a lovely feel to it. I hope to return.

My partner and I stayed here for one night in order to break our journey. We had the Fagin room, which was quirky and interesting and had a lovely, comfortable 4 poster bed. The en suite was excellent. We had a drink in the bar (lovely pint!) and then had a truly superb dinner. The service was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The continental breakfast was also good. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

Went here for lunch today, five people, didn't book. The service was very good and friendly. We were made to feel welcome and the food was nice too. I have been to the Hunting Lodge several times over the past few years and was always disappointed but not this time! Thank you.

Amazing Sunday lunch with family, if you want good home cooked food come here just delicious you can’t go wrong for a family dinner out

2nd time we have been Sunday dinner again was amazing fresh hot and tasty definitely will be going about 10/10 well done to fabulous staff

We went for an evening meal this evening for a 21st birthday the food was outstanding and the service was excellent will definitely be going back. The food was cooked to perfection and the meal sizes were generous.

I came here to celebrate my birthday on Thursday. I couldn’t not leave a review. The service was so wonderful, warm and welcoming. Your front of house team couldn’t do enough for us and made my birthday meal feel so special, especially the lady with the blonde hair (and stripy t-shirt) … thank you so much for such fantastic service and especially for being so lovely with my little boy. We got to try the new summer menu and it really did exceed expectations! The salmon and cream cheese arancini were better than the ones I tried in Sicily! I only wish I had room for dessert. Compliments to the chefs, everyone’s food was exceptional. Just a really really impressive evening and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic meal, tasty, hot full of flavour. My regular Sunday lunch. 100% spot on. Will be going loads more

Chosen as a 'halfway between' venue for meeting up, we had no idea what to expect. When we arrived the bar was very quiet, and the decor looked a bit tired, so we were a little worried. Fortunately first impressions were proven wrong. We were seated at the dining end of the room which was comfortable with a view of the garden. Everyone enjoyed their food, except the risotto was a little disappointing, but the desserts (raspberry blondie and mango parfait) were outstanding. The staff were welcoming and we were very impressed with their efficiency, warmth and respect when dealing with a large funeral party, mainly in a separate room but spilling over into the dining area.

Best Sunday lunch we’ve had for a long while. Great service and friendly staff. Well worth a trip from local towns / cities- be sure and give it a go!

Been for Sunday Lunch today which was fantastic very tasty and lots of it.Very nice and helpful staff and a very clean place set in nice grounds

We went on a Sunday 4.30pm our first time since the Hunting Lodge has been taken over. I can honestly say PLEASE bring back your normal menu which we've always enjoyed on our many previous visits over the last 3 years. Unfortunately one party had the no meat Roast Dinner the Roast potatoes were hard also the Yorkshire pudding vegetables not cooked properly. £18.00 for this meal was a joke . I throughly enjoyed my pasta dish but not a great deal of choice on the menu for vegetarians. If your serving a Roast Dinner all day it should be fresh this certainly wasn't. Won't be visiting again on a Sunday.

Excellent bar meal - burgers were delicious and the service was friendly and really appreciated by our dog, who got her own bowl of water and plate of dog biscuits Thank you

We went with friends who had never been and absolutely loved it . The staff were faultless in every way , the food was excellent and for sure will be back 👍🏻

We were lucky enough to be invited to The Hunting Lodge for a family meal on Sunday. This was our first visit since the Lodge was reopened. We had a very nice welcome, and I was pleased that the bar and restaurant areas hadn't changed much, but the food definitely had. Being Sunday, we all opted for the Roasts - beef, chicken, lamb and pork. The vegetables were beautifully presented in a sharing bowl and the cauliflower cheese was very nice. We did save room for puds, and between us we tried the Eton Mess, the Crumble and the Bread and Butter pudding. I was slightly envious of the B&B puddings - they were certainly the most substantial of the desserts, though the Eton Mess was very fresh and pretty. Staff were helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble (like switching the ice cream for custard or the chocolate ice cream for vanilla - thank you - little things, I know, but they do make all the difference) No complaints from us and we'll definitely be back for a Sunday Roast again soon.

It was an absolutely delicious meal. The service was excellent. . There were lots of vegetables with a good selection. Fabulous treat

The food offering is excellent - wide choice, home cooked and delicious. The service is very friendly and professional with no long waits for the food or drinks. We are blessed to have such a wonderful pub/ restaurant in our village and we will visit again whenever we can

The evening started badly with the greeting ‘Hello my lovelies!’ In a very loud voice. Menu was good - Chateau Brian’s advisory would take 30 minutes to cook (but non available anyway) so one assumes other meals much quicker. Arrived 7:15 meal arrived 8:15, Beef bourguignon had huge lumps of beef not strips and almost no gravy. Pie of the day, chicken & leek arrived in a frying pan with a thick dry crust of pastry placed on top. One assumes the pastry was previously frozen as it was hard and when cut had white streaks through the middle. There was a dark gravy crust about 1cm above the little gravy - assume it had evaporated whilst being over cooked - maybe why it took so long to be served! When ordering wine the waitress didn’t know what Rioja was nor pronounce it. Discovered a fabric strip towards the bottom of a glass of red wine. ‘ My Lovely’ said it was a bit of cloth from a drying up cloth. Now at the end of the meal and ready to go but was offered another glass which was declined. However when the bill came no deduction for the read wine as ‘My Lovely’ put it she had already drunk the glass. So these ‘Lovlies’ will not Bev going back. Just for the record the restaurant was not busy so such a delay in serving overcooked food is unacceptable and needs better management.

Dined here whilst staying in one of there great rooms Food was amazing, so tasty, its not very often you find a place with food as good as this, Staff are so friendly and helpful, Will be back for sure

This is one of our local pubs and it’s always a solid choice. The food is good, the atmosphere is nice and it feels cozy despite actually being rather large.

This was my first visit to The Hunting Lodge - a bit risky perhaps as I was taking my step-daughter out for dinner there. However, I needn't have worried. The menu caters for everyone, and whilst I often berate restaurants for offering too much choice...

One of our favourite places for relaxed dining. Lovely interior decor since the update last year. Service as good as always, very friendly staff. Our food very good as we have come to expect. My Cajun chicken was hot hot hot, very tasty. Lemon meringue...

The food was very slow to be served and when it came it had obviously been standing a while as the gravy on the pie and in the gravy boat had a skin on it!! The pie was very dry especially on the cut sides....

We appreciate that with covid and social distancing there are potentially less chefs working in the kitchen however we feel we waited far too long for our food. We arrived at 730, ordered starters and our main, starter arrived at 830 and main at 910....

Been many times in last few years many some good mostly poor went first time for along time vast improvement warm lovely decor best meal we have had there for a long while long may it continue only leave 100 yards away

Visited here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The car park was full however the restaurant was empty. Staff very pleasant and attentive however the food was ok. The biggest thing was half of it was luke warm not hot which is one of my biggest problems. Didn’t ask for them to be warmed up as it had taken so long to get to us we were hungry and also didn’t have the time. The starters were amazing. There was a lot of wasted extras so as a suggestion may be only bring one bowl of each but make the customer aware more is available if needed. Extras included bowls of chips, new potatoes, salad, veg!

Been before and came back kn forst dayafter the refit served by Becca C she was fantastic so friendly shes a credit to your establishment food was top drawer good couldn't fault a thing perfect give these guys a try

We visited on a Friday night. The restaurant was amazing, oak panelled.Our Waitress was superb, we didn't get her name, but she has cerise hair.She is a credit to the restaurant. The food was first class, the menu wide and varied.The steak was cooked to perfection. Afterwards we enjoyed the singer in the bar, really good ambience and we will definitely be back. Thank you for the perfect evening.

Not the best meal. Spoke to management. Offered free desert or coffee. Satisfactory outcome.Hopefully our comments are taken on board.Expensive meal (steak) not cooked correctly. Poor selection of vegetables (probably reheated). Second dish of chips were warmer than first.My husband is a Yorkshire man and never leaves food on his plate but he left plenty this evening.We were only customers in restaurant you would expect better service if they want more customers on a Tuesday evening.Offered free desert but were full with chips so excepted free coffees ( an Irish coffee for me )Having spoken to management and hopefully given constructive criticism we left satisfied with the outcome even if disappointed that my Birthday meal was spoilt.

My family and I have been coming here for probably over 10 years now and always loved it. Always great food and great service.I hadn’t been for a while until tonight and I’m sad to say I was disappointed with the direction it has gone. I always order from the triple combo section which always gives huge portions but it seems those days are gone and the plate was half empty.My boyfriend ordered a curry which was on a specials menu. I tried to warn him against it as I expected they might not be good at making Indian dishes and unfortunately I was right. He said it was very watery and the portion was small. We had desserts which was a very small apple pie and the waffles which I always order. The waffles are usually great but this time seemed very hard (not properly cooked?), very dry due to hardly any sauce, and one very small scoop of ice cream which all made it quite unenjoyable.Service was still fantastic and I can’t fault any of the staff but based on tonight’s visit, I feel we may not be keen on returning like we used to which is sad.

Came here for Sunday lunch and after visiting the sister pub The Canarvan had great expectations. The restaurant was empty 3:00 and the Yorkshire puddings seemed shop bought, to perfect to be home made and veg looked tired. A shame really as the staff and the pub are lovely

Gordon Ramsey needs to visit here. Too many items to choose from to get everything right. The 6 page menu needs to be reduced to 10 starters and 10 mains in order for the cooking staff/waiting staff to be able to offer good food all of the time!

We really enjoy visiting this venue. The menu is extensive, and has a great selection. (On a side note, only a really fussy eater couldn't find something suitable for them in this menu!).Staff were friendly and attentive, service was quite quick, and all the meals were of good quality.Definitely one to recommend.

Family group visited for a celebration. Have been very satisfied in the past but not so tonight. Prawn cocktail tasteless. Scampi watery. Meat pie pastry so hard we couldn’t cut it. Sent it back and got replacement by which time everyone else had finished their meal. Veg over cooked and wasted as no one ate it. No peas with fish. Long wait for bar orders. A lot of waste with condiments because ramekin dish size portions bought out of mustard for example! I don’t think we will be visiting again

My friends and I were boating on the River Soar and tied up at moorings close to the lock and road bridge at Barrow on Soar, our Collins Guide indicated a number of restaurants and Pubs nearby, and a small village with various take-away options, however we decided against take-away and went looking for something more substantial.

Very good staff, nice surrounding & nice drinks - but poor food let’s the place down Small portions of meat - soggy yorkshires. Mashed potatoes tasted very odd - small portions of unseasoned over cooked vegetables - altogether very disappointing

Unfortunately we found part of a label in one of our Sunday lunches, when pointed out the staff apologised and didn’t charge for that meal. We then realised at the end of our meals that one of the side dishes hadn’t been served. The response from staff was - well shall I go and get it??? No apology this time! Food was ok , cheap enough but nothing special. It was the general attitude and lack of care that was worrying. It wasn’t as if the place was busy either. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day and were unlucky. However I don’t think I’ll be rushing back

Excellent food at very competitive prices. Food always freshly prepared and well presented. Highly recommended

We used to live close to its sister restaurant at Risley.

The building and its interior look top of the range. However, the tables are packed in with not a lot of space - our corner table for six was clostrophbic. The staff were very friendly, but they still had us waiting a good while to order. We were given a range of menus to choose from, but there were duplications. Prices looked reasonable for good food!

We had not visited this restaurant for well over a year and were looking forward to a pleasant meal, in pleasant surroundings, as we had experienced before, with two friends.

We went for a family birthday meal, menu had a good variety to choose from, food was lovely, fresh and portions were good size, you can get refills on chips and veg if required but I didn’t need too as there was more than enough on my plate to begin with. Staff are really friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome. Overall it was a lovely meal and we will return again soon

Staff were really friendly and seemed to genuinely care that we had a good experience.

Such a great building, but the huge menu is an indication things aren't fresh. Very expensive for wetherspoons style microwave rubbish, didn't enjoy whatsoever and almost asked for a refund. Avoid the wines also. Atmosphere: lots of kids running around and quite chavy. I live in the local area and wish this pub was better.

I've been here a few times about 10 years ago and all was o.k at the time since then nothing has changed and the place has gone down drastically.

we had our son over from Holland and booked the day before food and service were very good not cheap but most enjoyable

Hot summer night, we fancied dinner out with our dogs and knew this place had a big garden. Only one table in use when we arrived - but every single other one was strewn with food, too low to eat at or just covered (literally covered!) in cigarette butts and ash. After constantly picking food, litter and butts put of our puppy’s mouth and too late to cancel order, we moved inside. On a lovely summer’s eve?!? The place should be heaving & busy but I guess - like us - people don’t want to eat sat in a glorified ashtray or hovel. Real shame. Sort this out and they may find it gets busier!

Arrived having met with parents for lunch at 1pm on Saturday lunchtime. Told when bought drinks there was a 45 min wait for food. No problem to us as it was a hot day we would sit with drinks in the garden. My mother went to get menus and was told again a wait for food - we knew we were only having baguettes as we had eaten here before and we told the young girl this. We chose our fillings went to the bar to order baguettes at 1:30pm to be told they were no longer serving food due to being busy! Quite where all the customers were is a mystery. The place was pretty much empty. It was clearly a staffing issue - dirty tables with empty glasses and food plates covered in flies. Empty glasses thrown on the grass. A complete shambles. And the staff attitude couldn’t care less. Only 3 people there and couldn’t crack a smile between them. We found somewhere in the village far nicer.

Very poor food. Had 2 courses and the plates were full but came home hungry as quality of food very poor. Nothing was good. Waitresses very nice and attentive so felt sorry that the giid was so bad. So many empty tables and such a shame as gorgeous setting. But poor food won't fill the place. Won't return or recommend.

Although just for one night we found this hotel and restaurant to be both welcoming and good value. The food was of a good quality and at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and competent. Had a pleasant view over the garden from our table. The restaurant mirrors the hotel facilities as well

What do you have to do to make someone take notice! I went with a friend today. We ordered and a shared started came pretty ok in a reasonable time and it was fine. Then we waited and waited and waited. Eventually I caught a passing waitress and asked about our order. Off she went and came back within a few minutes with our food. It had obviously been waiting for I dont know how long. Soggy veg and dried up chips and chicken and nut roast overdone and over waited. when I explained to the waiting staff they denied that the food had been waiting. They did not seem to care about our expectations and comments at all. When we went to pay we reiterated that the food and service was awful and she deducted £3 from our bill. What sort of impression would it give to visitors. I certainly wont go back ever.Avoid this place at all costs it doesnt deserve you and they do deserve this bad review.

5 of us had booked for Friday evening . Three ladies ordered fish pie, one of them arrive very overdone/ dry and was sent back. We were told a replacement would be a few minutes, but we're all finished by the time it arrived. We ate the other meals but quality was not good. Vegetables were overlooked, and the one pudding ordered , deep dish apple pie had been heated in microwave and was not deep. All in all a very disappointing meal, and although we will probably have drinks here , will not eat again.

hearty, yummy food which was well presented, decent portions, excellent service and a decent price! Just up market enough I didnt feel out of place dressed up, but could have gone in jeans and a jumper and felt just as welcome.

went sunday tea time for a birthday party food was terrible party of eight food was put on one side while other dishes were cooked dried and tasteless can't cope with parties

came here for Sunday lunch for my partners birthday, not as good as previous visits but service was attentive and friendly, will still be back at some point as it may well have been just an off day food wise but we still enjoyed it - but it just wasnt as up there as previous vists

We received a call from friends who decided to pay us a visit at very short notice. We booked a table for six people without any problem. Each of us chose different meals and each of us were more than happy with the qualioty of the food. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The menu is quite large so it should cater for most tastes.

We had a family lunch at The Hunting Lodge and found it to be wanting. Two of us had steak and kidney pie and with both there were no chunks of steak and they were brought to the table luke warm as were the chips that came with them. The vegetables were very over cooked. The other dishes served were of a similar mediocre standard. There are a number of eating places within walking distance where the food is of a much higher standard.

We visited sufficiently early on a Friday to qualify for the early bird menu. Staff were friendly and switched on to customer service. The food was nice with plenty of choice and good value on the early menu. We had a great table and there seemed a pleasant amount of space. As the evening progressed there was a good Friday night lively energy feel. As we left I realised that the Friday band had started up. Somehow the layout of the place allows the bar to have a great (loud) atmosphere while the dining room is appropriately buzzing with conversation without it being too loud to hear older relatives.

We visited the Hunting Lodge for a midweek meal. Friendly welcome and good range on the menu. My wife enjoyed a vegetarian main course and I had a succulent steak. The sticky toffee pudding was very special. The ambiance was lovely - a great find

We have been to the Hunting Lodge many times because it is local and the atmosphere is good but our last six visits have been very disappointing, long waits, poor service etc. I would have loved to have met the so called chef on my recent lunchtime visit. My grandson wanted pulled pork with his burger but was told 30 minutes later they did not have any. The chips were lukewarm and my husbands fish looked anorexic and overfried. My potatoes and veg looked like they had been thrown on the plate. I find it difficult to understand why people still go there.

Visited today for a meal for 3, first impressions of the dining area were quite good and the staff were...

After reading some bad reviews I thought I'd try it myself. It was quite busy when we arrived at 6.30 so was expecting a little wait. No worries. Drink order was taken and then food orders instantly. Big menu sometimes means poor food but not in this case. We had lasagne, roast lamb, tuna loin and steak pie. Large portions of veg, salad, chips and new pots arrived first. Closely followed by mains. All deliciously cooked. No complaints from anyone. Staff were friendly n helpful. £51 for 4 meals n drinks. 10/10. We were all full n out by 7.30 so not slow with ordering or cooking.

First time coming here and the food is nothing above average. Probably the first and the last for me and my family.

The most annoying thing about this restaurant is the five speed bumps we have to go over to get to (and back) it. It offers excellent food with a good wine list and if you've overdone the wine a bit you can stay the night in one of their four guest bedrooms. It's great for parties, romantic meals and everything in between. Very popular so booking is advised especially if you don't want to spend your romantic evening in the middle of the floor. They have a couple of more secluded tables for this.

It looks good from the outside , it looks good on the inside , that's where it stops , the menus are falling to bits , food ordered starters , the roll was hotter that the soup , main if you found the meat you where lucky only one small pot of veg between 4 we asked for more and where charged for it , the deserts came out of a packet , save you money and eat else where or cook your self it would and will be better than this , over priced and not worth the time of day

We used to be very regular diners at the Hunting Lodge up until about 3 years ago, then we found better nearer home, so by default, just stopped going.We found ourselves there today for Sunday lunch and not much had changed in terms of layout of the building etc. `the building has always been nice and the decor pretty good too. Today it felt like things had slipped from how we remembered it from 3 years ago. The place looked tired and in desperate need for some investment. The gents toilets were quite disgusting with a very strong urine odour!Food was just about okay if im honest. The veg is very processed and piled high in the dishes. Swede and carrots - lacking anything green. Chips were oven chips and decidedly over cooked. The meat and deserts were nice but not WOW!Staff are nice and friendly and we remembered Gavin who we believe is the manager from previously? Lovely chap and very professional and friendly.In our opinion it needs an injection of cash to tidy the place up and the food could do with being looked at. Menu is tired and dated. Exactly the same was we remember from years ago. Come on Michael (Owner) we love your chain of gastro pubs - the HL needs some investment!Establishment (building) and the staff are great. Decor and food needs attention!

Popped in for a drink whilst cycling as this was near to home. Great staff, friendly and courteous with a lovely beer garden to the rear with lots of seating. Reasonably priced as 5 drinks were under £20. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food. Will definitely be back on the next ride

Ok-nothing special but fine for regular pub food. Have been for evening food and a funeral wake and whilst can't find anything specific to criticise it's not really far above average.

I had 3x 50p sized crab fish cakes with salad that were tasteless, then braised steak with mash & veg, the steak was a bit dry & not enough gravy was served. The carrots & beans were OK but the swede was well overcooked. Mash was also OK. My wife had fish & chips main course and the fish was so thin she could hardly tell it was in there! Highlight was the Cajun chicken starter my wife had. We'd met friend here as it is roughly half way. We won't be rushing back.

This was the second time we have been there and were not overly impressed. The service was slightly slow and the food was bland and dry. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were pleasant and helpful, its just a shame that the food was over priced for the quality we got.

See my review filed under the hotel where I have commented on the meal I had which was the point of my visit to the Hunting Lodge.

The place was nice but the food left a lot to be desired..we had the sea bass and the fish pie..the pie was cold and dry the portions were very small and all the dishes and plates were cold so food was only warm. Very disappointed even though we had a discount wouldn't go again!!

Great venue/eating area. Very clean and well kept restaurant. Service was very good. Food was nice but slightly bland, however it was reasonably priced.

Needs a new chef i think.....great huge menu but dont have all that they advertise...quite often told oh sorry we have not got that tonight....putting that aside....the 3 meals i have ordered over the 3 nights have left me dissapointed fed up and hungry...not good....nice rooms friendly staff but below par food....up to you its a gamble?

Nice venue, reasonable service, poor meals. From undressed salads (you have to ask for dressing or condiments, which arrive late) to overcooked meat, dry uninteresting veg without even a knob of butter, generally dried up meals that taste microwaved. The menu is very large, so whilst it's nice to have good choice, this was too extensive, thus nothing is cooked well. The barbecue sauce is like sugar syrup, far too sweet, rubbery halloumi, tasteless bread. Presentation was unappetising, but there is plenty of it. We have tried it before and had the same experience, but gave it another go as anyone can have off times, sadly not impressed again though. I'd like to see the menu cut down a bit and the chef cook from fresh.

I have been here before and the service, beer and food has always been excellent. Until last night....The beer - great. The waitresses great. The Christmas menu food offering - oh dear! Starter - a tiny portion of 2 slivers of honeydew melon with 3 small balls of water melon. A solitary small roast potato cut in half and small tough parsnip with the main meal served with a miserly porton of overcooked and dried veg. A meagre portion of pudding to finish.The score is based on the lack of value for money (nearly £23) and a very growling tum! Shame as it let the rest down. If you are planning to go here, order a pizza first or go somewhere else!

Portion sizes are becoming smaller every time we visit, Melon had 2 slices (maybe 1/4 inch thick). Chicken breast diminished in size.Had to ask for extra vegetables !!! It is a nice location but the food / portion control is letting it down.At approx. £22 not offering value for moneyProbably not the best pub and will look for somewhere else next time. Have felt for some time it is not achieving the required standard.

The menu is extensive, the type where Gordon Ramsay would come in and tell them to simplify it, but somehow all the dishes come out well. I visited on a busy Friday night during Christmas party season and still the service was good. The staff seemed to be working very well as a team and, although we had a number of different people serve us the service was timely and consistent. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Love it.

Awful food been before was good wont be going again sunday lunch hardly any of it meat paper thin 2burnt roast tatas small spoon of mash aunt bess yorkie over cooked veg ! Fish pie small ok but very dry all in all not good

very disappointed with my visit as i was looking forward a good lunch.i shall keep the review very simple. pub/restaurant wasn't busy at all possibly 4-5 tables including ours but yrt it still took nearly 35mins for our starters to arrive. When my prawn cocktail did arrive it was just coverd in the dressing and they clearly use frozen prawns hence why it did not taste good. After finishing our starters it took staff roughly 15mins to realise we had finished and took our plates. we waited and waited almost 20mins later mains arrived by this time i wasnt looking forward to my meal, the steak was actually cooked as i wanted which i was quite impresed by. the whole time no memeber of staff came to check if our meals were ok or if they could get us anything. the rating would have been average if the wait wasn't so long. I can say i will not be returning, there are plenty of better places to eat around the area or just 10mins away in loughborough.

Walked in to be greeted with a very friendly warm welcome. Tables were set out nicely (not crammed in). Great selection of food. People in there reviews say it takes a long time to get service but i think it is better that you have a look and diside what you want as if you want to be served quicker you only got to ask as they are really nice friendly staff. Food was great and pudding was to die for thanks so much for a lovely meal me and my parents really enjoyed it xxx

From the moment we walked in to the hunting lodge we was greeted with professional friendly staff nothing was too much trouble .The room was very clean and well equipped with colour tv tea and coffee making facilities with fresh bottled water in the bathroom a nice touch with some mini molton Browns products .Worth booking a table in advance as due to the excellent menu choice and quality food the restaurant gets busy in the evenings . Breakfast is also very good choice of cereal to a full English tea coffee orange juice ect this is a place we will go back too soon .

Went here as a party of 16 we had to pre-order the food which showed everything was overcooked and dry I ordered a pint of lager top to which the young lad behind the bar didn't know what to do and asked if that was a lemonade top the beer was flat on the pus side the service was o.k. albeit a little slow I would not visit this l ace again sorry

What a menu selection at this restaurant. Every options also provides a suggested wine to match every dish. I can't recall looking at a menu and being so tempted by the vegetarian options!! (Being a carnivore!). Superb service, great food. I want the chef to be my personal cook if I win the lottery! Lol
