Harden's survey result
Summary
In the hands of Stephen & Tracey Fitzpatrick (also of the Joiners Arms at Bruntingthorpe), this village boozer with four rooms dates back to the 16th century and has preserved its traditional bar, which is rounded out by a modern restaurant leading out to the tranquil patio. The food is of the hearty, carnivorous kind, with Friday fish ‘n’ chip nights, once-monthly steak nights, and Auberge Mondays, where a three-course meal racks in at a bargain £22.50 per person.
Summary
Stephen and Tracy Fitzpatrick, who also run The Joiners Arms at Bruntingthorpe, are the winning duo behind this sixteenth-century village inn with four rooms, three miles south of Market Harborough; the wide-ranging menu tips its hat to fish ‘n’ chips on Friday, and takes in thrice-weekly ‘Auberge Suppers’, and there are “lovely gardens to go with the excellent food”. Tip Tip – it’s “worth staying for the superb veggie breakfast”.
Summary
“Very consistent, high-quality pub food” is on the menu at this sixteenth-century village inn-with-rooms south of Market Harborough that was modernised in a two-year refurbishment a few years back. Owners Stephen and Tracy Fitzpatrick also run the Joiners Arms at Bruntingthorpe (see also).
Summary
“A lovely beer garden” (which the dining room overlooks) is a feature of this attractive pub, a few miles south of Market Harborough. Nothing but good vibes for the scoff either – “a consistent if predictable menu… never had a bad meal yet”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
