Completely cremated the duck then when I sent it back I had the rude lady come over to me saying they'd sold 5 at lunch maybe because mine was reheated from lunch she then came back and apologised and said the trainee chef had cooked...it and it slipped past the place was empty for a reason we won't be going backMore

Absolutely first class home cooked food. Had the pie of the day which was steak. Perfect short crust pastry with a deep fill of tender steak. Never had a better pie !

Late arrivals for Sunday lunch, a very warm welcome and very nice roast beef and pork. Staff very friendly, lovely landlady. Thanks for making a rainy Sunday so nice.

We booked a table for a Thursday evening in early March, though it turned out not to be necessary as we were the only ones eating in the restaurant. The pork loin was enjoyable, generous portions with plenty of vegetables. Pleasant surroundings, friendly staff and...a lovely log fire on a cold night. Reasonable prices, too. Certainly deserving of more custom than they had this evening.More

Absolutely amazing experience from the moment we walked in. Beautiful staff and wonderful welcoming owners. 11/10 to the chef, steak cooked to perfection and a cheese board to die for. Thank you ❤️🙏🏼. From the Birthday party.

Great location, staff were fantastic , the food was excellent, great areas to sit outside. The room was clean and comfortable. Only 1 issue was the shower was unusable. Breakfast was top notch. Great place

A superb place-they saved our wedding day when our caterers cancelled the day before. Tracey and her staff willingly stepped in and produced a fantastic range of dishes which our 120 guests really enjoyed. The selection of speciality dishes were lovingly produced. Service, dedication and...professional were exemplary!! Highly recommended and we cannot thank you enough, we will return !More

A mediocre lunch. Ordered roast beef sandwich with horseradish and soup. The roast beef was just a grey slab between pieces of ready sliced bread smothered in margarine. No horseradish! The soup tasted suspiciously of canned tomato soup with some bits thrown in. On the...positive side the bar staff were very friendly.More

The Tollemache Arms pub in Buckminster has great potential and is situated in quite a pretty area for the Midlands of England. However, the place is rather tarnished by the peculiar people in the local area who become the resident barflies. These locals have an...odd mentality - they view people from nearby villages as strangers! - and they have these strangely glazed, dead eyes and blank facial expressions. Considering the year is 2022 and not 1722, it is all rather odd and off-putting to put it in a polite manner. Saying that, the menu is decent enough and the drinks average to good, so in that regard the place is okay. Sadly, the bizarre and very unhealthy mentality of the locals creates a rather bleak and dead location. Plenty of other options nearby.More

A one night stay mid week, so the place was all but empty. Paula and Toni saved things as far as hospitality goes. The room was basic; lack of bathroom shelves (toilet bags rested on the cistern) and no full length mirror (we were attending...a wedding the next day). Food was average.More

I’ve been 3 times in the past few weeks and each time they’ve been shut even though Facebook and the opening times on the door say they’re open. Try the Blue Dog at Sewstern if you want drinks, well kept ales and lagers. If you...want food, I’d recommend the Jackson Stops at Stretton.More

Buckminster is a quintessenially rural hamlet, set in simply glorious East Midlands countryside. The Inn, on the Main Street, whilst a good couple of centuries old, has been tastefully refurbished in contemporary style, but neverless exudes a warm, convivial ambiance, enhanced by an open fireplace...and comfy easy chairs, by the street entrance. Ample parking is available at the rear. A well stocked bar and tables, for couples or foursomes, are nearby, leading to a more roomy dining area beyond. The menu offers an electic mix of popular favourites and house specialities, which should suit most palates and pockets. Service was prompt, polite, efficient and friendly. The fare was well presented and very tasty. My fish dish (cod) was quite the best for years. Fair value too. We've dined there twice, as a couple and in a foursome, five if you count our (welcomed) Dandie Dinmont Terrier. We shall return.More
