Reviews in Leicestershire

Visited last Thursday , food was excellent very good value for money! Good variety on the menus! Very helpful staff cosy warm atmosphere.

Excellent service. Tasty food well cooked. Easy access for Disabled. Reasonably comfortable but back of chairs difficult for people with back problems.

Our first time visiting. The food was delicious, all 8 of us enjoyed our starters, mains and desserts. Brilliant service. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely food and great service

Six of us went for birthday meal 15th November 2025, food and service were excellent, first time there and will definitely be back.

Although my group enjoyed the food and atmosphere it wasn’t a patch on my last visit about four weeks ago. The starters were served without the trimmings which demonstrates a lack of managment control. My homemade pie was completely different from my previous looked worse than a Asda pie obviously not home made. Ran out of Merlot wine. Overall sloppy .

Recently had Sunday lunch with two friends; food was beautiful and hot, well presented and staff friendly and courteous. Being coeliac, I need gluten free food which is never a problem here; even received stuffing balls and Yorkshire pudding, very rare. Options for GF desserts too.

Good food, good service pleasant place.

Fantastic food & lovely service

Excellent food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere, very good prices.

I took my partner children and her parents for Sunday lunch as a birthday treat . I chose the bricklayers as I read the reviews and it sounded great and were just down the road . The overall feeling after the meal was disappointment . Even though we tied a birthday balloon to her chair nobody wished my partner happy birthday , not a problem but would have been nice . Service was good and the young lady who served us was polite and friendly . The food came out really quickly after ordering making it seemed rushed . That’s were the problems began . They forgot all of our stuffing balls , another plate had no carrots on and my daughter’s plate was an adult plate which was taken away and brought back as a children’s plate . The beef was lovely and rare but the pork and turkey a little dry . The broccoli was quite crunchy for me and the gravy didn’t have much taste . It was as although the kitchen was under pressure and rushing things . It was such a shame as we were looking forward to it . I didn’t complain at the time as I didn’t want to spoil her birthday . To be fair we have had a previous meal there not a Sunday lunch though and it was great .

Visited with friends on a Saturday night. Restaurant was busy and we did have to wait a while before our food arrived. It was worth the wait, the food was hot (lukewarm food is a particular no no with me) and very tasty. The Service was good with staff checking in to see if we were okay and needed anything. We went to the Dove on the recommendation of a friend, so glad with did.

The pie was delicious, the beef was fine but the pork was a little dry. Overall the visit was pleasant, service good with a good atmosphere.
