"six of us had a meal here tonight as tasty bites for my mother. her partner is haunted and they have very kindly prescribed him an evening meal for us to cross the street in the pension bunks. dinner was nice and hot and was so good of them to do this. all our meals were good and the staff was very friendly and helpful."

"Can I say that I use the branch at The Outwoods regularly when out walking and find it fantastic. Food is excellent and staff are great. Just visited the branch in town for coffee and a bite to eat. We ordered drinks and a portion of porridge and a bacon roll. Whilst waiting I noted that it seems chaotic behind the counter. After a few minutes I heard our server asking the young lady preparing food if our porridge had been “shouted” It clearly hadn’t and he did this using a radio. I saw food being sent back from a table outside with the customer clearly not happy and walking away. After 15 mins waiting I chased our food as it hadn’t arrived. We were told it would be with us by the server in 4 1/2 mins as he said he wanted to be accurate. I then saw a table that had arrived 10 mins after us get food including a bacon roll. I asked for a refund as this was now 20 mins and still no food had arrived. I was appalled at the reaction of staff. Instructing me that they were busy and 20 mins isn’t long to wait. The food, they said was cooked to order. Guys, it’s a bacon roll and portage not a full English!! I’m assuming this is the same at Outwoods where a bacon roll arrives in around 5 mins! This guy (beard/green t shirt) then proceeded to tell the whole cafe that he was being asked by a customer for a refund. Again stating that I had only been waiting 20mins. Not very professional. He said he would do the refund and we left. Clearly if he is honest it wasn’t the best Saturday morning with 2 complaints in 15 mins about food. The young lady looked out of her depth and cafes cannot use the excuse of being busy. They are supposed to be busy. I will continue to use The Outwoods but give the town branch a miss due to the attitude of the staff member who dealt with my request for a refund. Hopefully he can address his shortcomings in customer service. You need to be able to deal with complaints and embarrassing a customer in front of everyone in the cafe is very poor. Hope your day improves."

"a mother night, we were 7. The place was dead and not a great atmosphere from the moment we arrived. we had booked in advance. the staff was very good to get drinks, but unfortunately, when it came to the food order did not get so good. we said there was something special, but when the young lady was asked, the young lady was empty for a few minutes. when we were asked again about them, we were told to go the other end of the restaurant and make a photo of the specials board. eating was amazing not to fail, fresh and really delicious. at 9:25 o'clock we were last commanded by the bar and at 10 o'clock we were torn out of the door. we fought for signal to order taxis as we expected later. the workers knew we were fighting, but still locked us up. it took 45 minutes to finally get a taxi. not good and will not be in a hurry to return."

"We had our wedding reception at The Gate Hangs Well at the end of June, and to be honest, I have to say we were disappointed overall. We were recommended the venue as we were looking for somewhere for a small gathering on a budget, so the boathouse was ideal for what we needed. We made the enquiry, and they were quick to respond to emails and provided all the information we needed they even let us have the 3 course menu and arrange for us to have beef since the regular steaks were unavailable. When we went to view the boathouse, we were advised they would be showing someone else round, so we would have to wait which we were fine with. We watched and listened in as they told the other people how they could set the room up, showed them where stuff was, generally asked them questions about their booking and even suggested they could have the piano tuned for them if they wanted to use it. When they left and it was our turn to view, we were told this is it , and we were left to ask questions about set up, etc as the information wasn 't volunteered. Still, we continued with the booking (and stayed for food after the viewing). We were told to take anything we wanted setting up the night before and to leave it with them because they had another event which we did. We also asked if they had candles for the table which they said they did and would include in the set up. Again, the night before our wedding, we had another meal there with the majority of our party. On the day of my wedding, I turned up to the venue and everything I left the night before was exactly where I put it. ON MY WEDDING DAY, while the rest of the party sat outside enjoying the day, I set up my own wedding reception... I found the candles in the windows but they didn 't have anything to light them with. I went into the toilet to take my makeup off and the young lady that was looking after us asked if I was ok because she thought I was crying. I 'm not sure of the young ladies name (dark hair) but she was the only one that seemed to care. We hope she got the flowers we left for her and that they weren 't kept by the other lady. To add insult to injury, the follow up email after the reception had someone else 's name on it! We wouldn 't recommend this venue based on our experience. I believe someone else is running the pub now, so I hope the remaining team members are now providing a better service than we received. It 's a shame because it was a nice venue."

"When you see a restaurant called the Grill House, your brain conjures up meals consisting of steak and various other meats. Not the case here! My husband is vegetarian and we stumbled across this restaurant by accident. After reading the menu, we were very pleasantly surprised. A great choice of vegetarian, meat and fish dishes,with a middle eastern theme, some of which are Middle Eastern. My husband ordered a falafel wrap and I ordered a batata harra wrap (potato) both were very tasty and much bigger portion sizes than we expected. We also ordered a portion of fries each which we struggled to eat one between us would have been plenty. What we weren't expecting was the lentil soup to start, compliments of the house, which was very tasty. The service was very good, the menu varied it was excellent value for money and we will definitely be going back."

"The food at The White Horse is consistently delicious, with a variety of vegan options that cater to everyone. The only issue we encountered was the lack of milk alternatives for our tea and coffee after the meal. Nonetheless, the food was so enjoyable that we have returned multiple times, and it has always been incredibly tasty."

"I haven 't left any reviews a while, but after visiting this place I was completely blown away and compelled to share with you. As a former student, I hadn 't been to Loughborough in ages so I wandered up and down the high street, in search of something exciting and took a chance on this place. It was a freezing and dark Tuesday night, with no students around so I didnt want to be the only one inside. The cafe is just around the corner from the mobile stall. Inside there were a few tables full and a lovely atmosphere with people eating and sipping coffee and talking with the owners. This is my ideal setting! And then the food. The food! I 'd only had 'real ' Greek food maybe once before in my life and I 'm telling you, if you haven 't tried it get down here immediately. It simply doesn 't compare to the average kebabs you find on the high street. I had the chicken yeeros which is essentially chicken doner meat with fries, salad and homemade tzatziki and it was just out of this world. You just know when you go in a place and they are meticulous about cooking everything from scratch and everything neat and tidy. So if I find myself in Loughborough again, I will be back!"

"This is my second time visiting and will certainly not be my last. Lovely, warm cosy atmosphere, fantastic staff and absolutely superb food. Authentic, tasty and flavoursome are just a few ways to describe the delicious food we have had here twice! Brilliant veg and non veg varieties available on the menu. Both times bang on! Don’t take my word for it try it out for yourselves you won’t be disappointed. Cocktails were lovely too. Can’t thank the staff enough for their attentive service and hospitality. Amar, Yvonne, Tee and Sach a huge credit to Harrow Inn alongside all the kitchen staff. Thanks again and see you soon for sure! “, Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"We had been here many times before but had recently felt the quality wasn’t so good. However, nice sunny day, so decided to go there for lunch. Queued for ages, only to find that there was no hot food. Basically the only vegetarian option was a cheese scone and there wasn’t much for non vegetarians). They would only take cash- the website says they will accept cards. That did not inconvenience us but the cheese scone was so stale and unpalatable that we couldn’t eat it. Decided to cut our losses and find somewhere else to eat. And won’t eat there ever again. But loo was clean. Ps Our visiting crow eventually flew off with a bit of scone."

"if i could give this place a zero i would. the food is terrible and the management do not take feed back well at all, infact i was accused of being aggressive because he did not like the things i was telling him. Starter: we ordered the butterflied king prawn. how very dissapointing. it came out looking as if it was a birdseye packet fish finger. mains: we ordered to mains both of which basically tasted the same. no individuality of spices although they where two completely different dishes. naans as expected chips again thankfully they got this right. when i gave my feed back firstly about my starter the manager admitted it was not fresh and that it was out of a packet. very dissapointed. he then argued that i should have said something which worried me even more about his attitude towards customer service. we told him there was no spices even though we asked for one of the dishes to be at a jalfrezi hot style. this was the best bit. the manager said their cooking is made bland because the english people like it...... i am not english im sikh and when i said but you know we are not english so why would you not cater towards our taste his response was you are being aggressive . could not face the fact that his food was bland hes told us they only cater towards english people who only apparently like bland food or food come out of a freezer packet. if any of my english people want authentic indian food dont bother going here. they clearly are fooling you and some of you may think that your getting great food and can handle the spices. you are wrong the only way you are handling the spices here are because there are none. best going down belgrave road to one of the many indian restaurants who will not base their cooking on the colour of your skin but will cook you what should be real indian food. now i know why this restaurant is usually empty. Aroma spice......hardly i think you should rename yourself.....NO SPICE. good bye"

"Loughborough University is in the top five of our youngest's choices. We arrived a little early to look around Lougborough itself before heading to the campus based uni. It's hard when you're in a place you have never been and see a variety of eateries with no prior planning in front of you, to choose from. We didn't want a greasy spoon, or haute cuisine and as we looked around we saw the A board outside Goodliffe's on Church Gate which looked like a possibility. The menu is also displayed outside the door and as we hovered over an unsuspecting ladies shoulder, she noticed us and recommended it highly. We took her recommendation and entered, the staff were young ladies, probably students themselves, all very pleasant, happy and jolly, they looked genuinely happy to be there which is always a good sign. Hubby had Morrocan mint and lamb koftas, Littlest Foodie had the roasted sweet potato and red pepper salad with avocado, beetroot hummus, rocket, toasted pumpkin seeds, lemon dressing . I didn't really fancy anything, no fault of Goodliffe's I may hasten to add, but I can never say no to cheese so I ordered the cheese board (dessert menu) and a side of garlic ciabatta. I'm glad I did, I was able to pick the bits I wanted and Hubby finished the rest win win! The only thing I would suggest is maybe a soft cheese like Brie instead of two hard cheeses and stilton.Needless to say if Loughborough Uni is the chosen one' we will be visiting Goodliffe's again :"

"The menu at this restaurant is straightforward, offering a choice between Japanese rice or noodles with a selection of meat and sauce. I ordered the chicken curry rice and tempura prawn accompanied by a hot cup of Chinese tea. The service was friendly, the food was delicious, and the price was very reasonable. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience."

"I had been on a training course at Glenfield all day and passed through Ansty on my way home wanting to visit Cropston which is where my family are from . I was desperate for a drink and shot in the Nook Coffee shop , to find they were about closed and had cleaned everything away , the very kind lady behind the counter took pity on me and made me a wonderful latte to take out , have to say it was one of the nicest coffees I’ve had and was so much appreciated ! Some people would have been really grumpy about but she still served me with a smile and made me feel welcome , thank you!"

"We called in by chance as we were passing through and saw the sign for brunch. The breakfast was outstanding in fact the best we have had anywhere and we do tend to go out weekly for breakfast. The pub is cosy with a log burner going which really added to the feel of the place. We had a full English with xtras but tbh we didn't need it as the breakfast was more than enough but we forced it down as it was too good to leave!! We will definately go back there on a regular basis and the next to try is the Sunday roast which has been recommended and if it's as good as the breakfast then definately a must"

"The George consistently amazes us with its outstanding food, exceptional presentations, and excellent staff. The cleanliness of the restaurant is impeccable and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Just when I thought they couldn't get any better, I tried the lamb cutlets from the specials board today and they completely blew me away."

"There are many cafe's in the town, but without doubt this is the best by far. What a lovely environment for a casual lunch with your best friend,after ordering and chatting for a while, a lovely lady appeared with our lunch. The presentation of the smashed avocado on a bagel, and i had a toasted cheese sandwich, great presentiaton, it was so appetising to look at and tasted great Thanks to the staff, my friend and i had a great lunch in such great surroundings, we then wandered around the top floor at the wonderful array of furniture and accessories. We will now make this our special place for lunch I then collected a huge bouquet of flowers"

"We've eaten here several times before and found the food to be fresh, authentic and tasty. Visited today and surprised we were the only customers. Food came quickly but was very poor. Chicken dish with oyster sauce was cold and clearly not freshly cooked. Informed waiter who said he would heat it up.....no offer of cooking it fresh. Pad Thai with seafood lacked seafood and was overcooked and mushy. The prawn dish with black pepper was covered in large pieces of crushed black pepper to the extreme making it inedible. Thai green curry had a sweet flavour to it and lacked the firey punch it should have. Now I understand why the place was empty. Poor quality, cold reheated food. People vote with their feet, as will we. We won't be coming back!"

"The worst pub experience I have ever had. Never would I expect to feel so intimidated by a Member of Wetherspoons staff. Clearly very high on some A class narcotic. after the pandemic they have employed any Tom dick or Harry as the professionalism by the management is diabolical. I have never been treated with such malice by a bearded overweight manager w with the social skills of a dead octopus. Whom thinks people touching up their waitresses is more important than than someone taking 5 minutes late to finish up their drinks. I will take my awful experience to the local newspapers the violence and black aggressive eyes of the apparent manager/ supervisor was so diabolical I couldn’t even begin to explain clearly very drugged up. The whole experience was awful apparently I’m barred because I refused to leave before my extremely autistic friend was ready to leave. The aggression was unthinkable for a Wetherspoons I can’t begin to comprehend this attitude as someone who has worked in the industry for 25 years. The managers need removing with immediate effect their vile language and fight club attitude is disgusting. Tim Martin you are no longer ripping in your teacher or favourable comic book character. Sort your staff out because in my opinion you and your company has gone to pot because your employee in this instance is a vile bottom feeder"

"me and my partner ordered from here a good few times with orders costing £32-£60 something. we order through just eat and never had a problem, food was nice no complaints on the food but... and this is not just rising sun, as i said we ordered on the just eat app for some reason it changed our address we saw it as it was about to get delivered, we phoned up rising sun to say that it had the wrong address on it, it had already been delivered, we knocked on the address it had meant to have gone to and they said yes they came but we turned it down saying we didn't order it, the lady on the phone at rising sun had said that was right and was delivered to another address, next door. My point here is why wasn't we phoned when the first place turned it down. the lady on the phone even said that it was delivered to the address on the ticket when she herself knew it wasn't she told us where it had been supposedly delivered but the people that live there are not in so even tho it had an address they delivered it to a completely different address not the one on the ticket. As for just eat they are a waste of time trying to get hold of. So sum it up rising sun use the excuse it's just eats problem and just eat well good luck trying to get somewhere with them rising sun and just eat lost a customer today. in the end they should have phoned our number to simple ask what address when the family they tried to deliver to turned it away."

"Ok so let’s have some balance. It’s not amazing Chinese food….but it’s a pretty decent takeaway. It’s as good as anywhere else in Rough and I’ve done them all so no way I would go out of my way to go elsewhere. Get what you would expect -not amazing but it’s ok…erm except the chips….think I’m going to have to agree with the negative nellies as they are…..crap but if I want chips I go to the chippy"
