Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Barton-under-Needwood

We had the 3 course market lunch which was superb, good value and in lovely surroundings. We have been here several times before and will undoubtedly go again. When the food at most British pubs seems to consist of burgers or reheated ready meals, it is a refreshing change to enjoy some proper cooking of fresh food at a reasonable price.

Excellent quality of food. Imaginative menu. Very attentive service without being intrusive. Highly recommend.

Beautiful food, lovely setting & excellent service! Quite a meat-focussed menu so limited options for veggies/vegans but the pescatarians at our table were happy. With such exquisite food and wine it's no wonder you need to book well in advance to secure a table in the weekend!

On arrival after announcing our booking, a waiter just left me standing while they went into the kitchen ! No explanation. Just walked away ! Came back saying our table wasn’t ready , even though there were many empty tables ! No flexibility of a different table and couldn’t have been more disinterested as though I’d stopped an important task of filling up cutlery /napkin trays . I’ve been to many similar restaurants in the area who wouldn’t find it a problem to seat at alternative table. We were directed to the bar for drinks drinks . A waitress stepped in called us when the table was ready and was great ! and the restraunt setting was lovely - preferable to the bar . Food was excellent. Seafood sharer starter in particular . Great value and lovely menu . Never had a bad meal . Shame I can’t say the same about service ! Finally - what’s happened to the decor ? Cartoon pictures in a contemporary dining setting . Wellies and umbrellas cartoonisibg a wonderful natural door dressing . Confusing look. Not what I’m used to seeing here .

Four of us had lunch today. We ate from the main and set menus. Nice table location in the restaurant with plenty of space. Great food….the chef made a “special” Beef Wellington without the Parma ham for my wife who has a severe pork allergy. All the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Great service from the waiting staff…..and a fantastic choice of guest beers! Thoroughly recommend this wonderful gastro pub
