Really nice village pub. Staff are very friendly, locals are too. Food is amazing. Really really good and great value. Will keep coming back. Well done to the team.
Nice pub with fantastic food. We wound up eating here twice while spending several nights nearby and everything was delicious, highly recommend!
Tucked away in Breedon on the Hill is a quaint 1600 Inn. Dropped in for a spot of food that was delicious, I had the "days special" Hake and Wedges with minted peas. The batter was incredibly light and crisp, the wedges with skin on cooked to perfection, firm on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. My other (better) half enjoy fish and chips off the main menu. Not often she eats a full portion, but cleared her plate including the home made tartar sauce. Staff were very friendly as were the locals. Very dog friendly too. Well worth a visit.
Sunday lunch time, wasn't particularly busy on arrival, though food service was quite slow. Only 1 waitress working, so by the time our order was taken and the food arrived, parts of it were cold/luke warm. Tasted excellent, can't fault them there. Although having "veg toad in the hole" as 2 small vegetarian sausages in a Yorkshire pudding was disappointing, as I'd hoped for something more like vegetables in the batter. The dish of vegetables for the table, while warm, were a little undercooked as well. Had the bread and butter pudding for dessert, arrived as a small slice, and was definitely improved by the warm custard. Apple crumble was greatly enjoyed with ice cream. Overall a great tasting meal, however disappointed in the slow service and temperature of the food
It's a lovely place, shockingly low ceilings in the bar area (even I had to duck). Seating area for food is very spacious and lofty and the service is lovely, they are going above and beyond to keep things well coordinated and the Monday pie night produced some gorgeous pies 😁
