We called in for an early evening meal on Friday , as we like the atmosphere and the wonderful friendly staff. I wish we could say the same about the food. Fish and chips is difficult to get wrong, but it was awful. The fish...was tasteless and the chips were rock hard. Even the mushy peas had no flavour. Very disappointing. There were only a handful of customers in the building, so more attention could have been given to the standard of the food before just dishing it up.More
I eat here fairly regularly with friends and family. Great service and pub food. Pizza oven means always great pizza too!!
Thank you for the review and thank you for being repeat customers. It means a lot to us when people return continuously and it means we must be doing things right. Hopefully we see ou again soon.
Visited family in Leicestershire and booked the festive menu. We ate at lunch time and it was quiet. I would love to know a bit of the history of The Bradgate. A venue with lots of character and I suspect a story or two to...tell. If I was going to make any suggestions there is a need for some cosmetic improvements to the building and interior. However, 5* to the staff. Very positive, engaging and customer focussed. Nothing too much bother. And if you want full wholesome food you will not be disappointed. All three course were plentiful, served piping hot and well presented. The crackers and mini Christmas tree with chocolates on it a nice touch. Only one out of four managed to clear their plate! Great value for money.More

I organised a family gathering here for 25 people and wanted a hot meal rather than a finger buffet. Gary and his team were more than happy to cook what we chose and supplied speakers for the area near to the back door in main...restaurant for some 60’s background music) we had older relatives who probably couldn’t make the stairs for the bigger events room) It was cosy and warm and looked beautiful with some balloons. The food was spot on, having plenty of leftovers to take home! It honestly was the most wholesome lasagne and chicken curry with a mixture of sides. Everyone, young and old commented on how tasty it all was. The staff were so very kind and helpful, I really couldn’t of wished for a better venue. The price was very reasonable too. Many thanks to The Bradgate!More
Hi sam, thanks for your very kind review. We are very glad that you and your family enjoyed your mums birthday meal. We dont do usually do hot buffets as a option but im glad that our chefs created something that all your family enjoyed....More
When we went for our dinner today, our initial thoughts through walking in were outstanding. The inside is very luxurious, clean and a great dining experience. The service was friendly and we were served immediately by a kind waitress. After ordering our drinks and food,...we were served quite quickly and the quality of the food/drinks was exceptional. I decided to have a Beer Battered Fish and Chips and my parents had a Vegan Burger and Chicken and Bacon Pie. We were served within minutes. However, the wrong table had been served and was a slight error but we were offered a 10% discount through drinks and food and were initially even told that it was on the house. After the error, we were served our main course and the food was incredibly appealing to look at, absolutely mouth-watering! We were all impressed with our meals, however the chips were definitely a let down. They were soggy, dry, blanched in oil and had absolutely no crisp whatsoever - it was like tasting the inside of a raw potato. On the other hand, the fish was absolutely banging and would definitely recommend. As said, you are warmly welcomed by staff and treated very nicely; service is quality. Would definitely recommend a visit.More
Thank you for leaving us a review for your recent visit. I apologise for the confusion with your order but im glad our staff rectified it quickly and efficiently. I will pass on your comments to the kitchen regarding your chips, they shouldve been better...More
My sister and I came for a glass of wine and stayed for Sunday lunch. Was perfect: Beef with all the trimmings: cooked to perfection. Everything on the plate was delicious and the portions were big. Will definitely return. Staff really lovely.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am glad you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again soon
Last minute decision to eat out. It was “steak night” and we had a mixed grill and gammon steak with a drink . Upgraded for £1 to a bigger or better drink. Good portion size and very good value. Hard working friendly waitress ( Tracey)
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Im glad you enjoyed your visit and i will pass on your comments to the staff. We hop to see again you in the future.
After a nice hour or two walk around Bradgate Park, the sun was shining and we headed to The Bradgate for a spot of lunch. We started in the garden with a nice chilled pint of cider and then headed in for a Sunday roast....The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We booked a table for around 3pm and they managed to squeeze us in earlier (around 1:30ish). We were placed in a small room at the front of pub by the bar, which had a nice olde atmosphere. We ordered beef roast with all the works including cauliflower cheese, which was delicious! The portions were big and the Yorkshire pudding was huge! It was difficult to finish so no desert was ordered. We will most definitely be back to try more from the menu!More
Thanks for your review, i am glad you enjoyed your Sunday roast with us. Its a shame you didnt have room for one of our lovely desserts 🙂 Maybe when you visit next time!
We are regulars at the Bradgate and normally we have a great experience with the lovely food and the great staff. We visited for a mid week meal outside in the nice outdoor seating area. We regularly order the pizza and handcut chips which are...normally delicious and really well cooked. I'm not sure what happened last night but we both agreed the food was of a really poor standard. The pizzas are normally well stretched so they are thin and crispy and you get lots of room for toppings. We have noticed this for a while now that the pizzas aren't being stretched so intead of a thin and crispy base you get a very doughy base that is really small. My partner asked for extra mushrooms but she didn't get any. I asked for toppings that I didn't get either. The handcut chips are normally delicious, what we got last night was anaemic and very undercooked to the point where I bit into one and it was raw! We did raise the issues with the staff and we got an apology, but what we were after was some money off the bill as it just wasn't worth £55. Unfortunately, we are going to be eating out elsewhere for a bit as standards have slipped and this isn't what we expect from The Bradgate. A real shame 😔.More

Met up with friends for lunch. Ordered the homemade pie special which they said would be 30 mins as it was still cooking. When it arrived it was delicious. The accompanying chips, peas and gravy were also hot and tasted freshly cooked. Service was friendly....All in all a very positive experienceMore
Thank you for your review. Im happy that you enjoyed your pie, almost every item on our menu is homemade so ill be sure to pass on your kind comments to our chefs. We hope you return in the future.
Went to visit for father's day for me, with my wife and kids. Don't live in Leicestershire anymore so was nice to visit a place we used to go to many years ago. Food was really nice, recommend the pizzas! However service was let down...by one particular waitress who was quite rude and made us feel rushed. Told us they needed our table back by a certain time, but would prefer they could have it back 15 mins earlier if possible. Made us feel rushed and not a great way to start a meal. Mentioned this to another waitress but no further mention of it afterwards. Otherwise would get 5* review. Will give it another go next time we visit.More
Im glad you enjoyed your meal with us, our pizzas are a very popular choice, we do have a number of money saving deals on our pizzas during the week and they are also available to takeaway should you wish to sample them again 😀....More
Fabulous lunch dining experience. We hadn’t booked but the proprietor fitted us in. Five of us for lunch. Every meal including desserts was excellent. Very generous portions and beautifully cooked. Cost the same as for all pub meals . Honestly, best eating out meal that...I have had in ages. Between us we had fish and chips, burger, tagliatelle, gammon, date pudding, baked Alaska and raspberry pudding. All great. Lots of mmmmmms around the table. Lovely kind staff.More
