    A fine example of a former JD Wetherspoon being reimagined as an independent pub. Lovely staff! The barman, Owen, was very friendly. Very pleased with the prices of the brewery's ales and I hope to return next time I'm in Hinckley.

    The beer is OK but be careful with the food. I ordered the ribs with 6 onion rings, I got 6 onion rings but they were far from consistent in size, I know that onions are different in size but I don't expect such a variance between the smallest and largest rings. The food wasnt very warm either. I don't think we will be coming here again for food but we will have the odd pint

    Drink was fine, bouncers seemed friendly but service was very slow because there was only 1 girl behind the bar on a Saturday evening. Lots of people high off drugs in there.

    descent pub. Live TV but no sound. The bar top was interesting it had loads of coins glued to the surface of the bar. "look good". loads of seating. And served Birra moretti. I'd go again.

    Found it clean and tidy. Staff were good and drinks ok. However if you plan to go for food be aware they stop serving food at 6 o'clock! Just when you're ready to dine out for the evening 🤔..... apart from that it was ok.

    My boyfriend and I visited this week and were disappointed. The food looked like it was cooked the day before and then warmed up for us. The egg yolks weren’t runny, my toast had burnt bits on and I found something very over cooked and burnt black (see pictures) on my plate. Toilets were ok but there was a missing toilet seat. I won’t be returning.

    Lovely place, we went quite early so it wasn't busy, but lad behind the bar was great lots of conversation and great service.

    Haven't been in for years but thought I would try as I was in town. Wish I hadn't bothered! Looks like a meeting place for the unemployed and those on a very tight budget. Cheap it is but I would rather pay a few quid more with better clientele

    We just had hot drinks as they don't do food here, my partner had the choice of lots of coffee..free refills of this drink, but because I drink tea..I didn't have the options of free refills...I was disappointed 😔 by this.. sorry crafty baron..

  • 1/5 Adrian P. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolute dive ... Was once a good wetherspoons pub. Thought I would try it out since it became independent was surprised to see a dog inside... Great idea the dog was clearly loving the experience until the bouncer kicked the owner and the dog out. The bouncer then decided to randomly fight another punter ... avoid this place unless you enjoy watching people fighting. Also the beer is awful. Many better venues in Hinckley to choose from.

    Had one of the best meals there and it was huge and very reasonably priced. All the staff were lovely and obliging.

  • 1/5 Keith R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had to wait for a long time to get our food, which was mostly cold, the beer we had was a bit flat as it was obvious that the pipes had not been cleaned properly. When we complained and asked for a refund, we were offered a "free drink " not why we pointed out our dissatisfaction with quality of food and the service. Enclosed picture shows that if the food had been eatable there would be nothing left for a photo 📸

    When you order something with the side salad and this is what you get :/ also veryyyy slow service

  • 1/5 Sophie F. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible food. No fault of bar staff who handled the situation well, cold chicken, raw onion skin. I ordered a marinated chicken breast burger to receive a chicken breast rolled in some sort of seasoning and put into a bun. The seasoning was not cooked with the chicken and it was frankly disgusting. Will not be returning.

👍👍 This was the first time I’ve been to an Italian that serves small plates and was very pleased. There was a good range of food on offer and the staff were very friendly and answered all our questions. They had plenty of veggie options (mostly cheese based). I’d recommend the mushroom bruschetta, goa...
