It is in the main square area of the village, it is a beautiful building that looks like an inviting family home. We booked in advance and went in the evening. It is quaint and cosy inside and you really do feel like you are in someone's home. The staff were really friendly and we were seated and had a bottle of wine ordered and delivered quickly. I had the scallops wrapped in bacon on black pudding with balsamic vinegar, this is one of my favourite starters, so I just had to try it. For my main I had cod, I rarely order fish but it was really nice. My boyfriend had the lamb shank and it was delicious too. I then had the raspberry cheesecake with sorbet for dessert, again this was really good. If you're ever in the area forget anywhere else and go here!

The venue is incredible -…read moreit's inside Winstanley House Hotel, which is a spellbinding grade 2 listed mansion converted into a hotel, surrounded by gorgeous parkland. The restaurant itself is beautifully decked out - I spent a few fleeting seconds in the bar area which was stunning, although I didn't have much time to appreciate it as I was whisked away to my table as soon as I'd taken a seat. The service overall was good - the two waiters I had were friendly enough. The first one seemed a little nervous but not to the point of it being off-putting. My drink came quickly but the starter took a while. It was fairly busy but in my opinion not busy enough to justify the wait (approx half an hour). The main did come quickly after I'd finished the starter though to be fair. The food was delicious - I went for the express lunch, and a variety of cheeks - pork cheek to start, beef cheek for main. Both were full of flavour, soft, succulent and fell apart when cut into. Whilst it was superb quality food, I would have liked a little more in terms of portion size, especially with the starter. Overall a great lunch and experience - definitely one to visit again, but the small issues are the reason for giving it 4 not 5.

Lots of beers to choose from and the beef pie was delicious. The dining area was full, so I grabbed a spot in the bar. Probably better this way.

I would have to say that my first British Pub Experience was a success!

Back again for round 2! Still only 4 stars but only because of the price. It's definitely…read moreoverpriced! I wish it wasn't... We opted for different dishes this time and we certainly were not disappointed. We got bread and oils again although this time we were charged for them. The mister had the Thai red curry he said it was so good and filling. But the chicken breast was roasted separately and this took away from the flavor of the chicken and he'd have preferred it was cooked with the sauce. However he still really enjoyed this dish and was left fully satisfied. I got the pork belly (diet-what diet) Yum! It was full of flavor and the boys of crackling scattered on the plate were a added tasty bonus. The mash was amazing and creamy. No doubt full of calories but at this point who's counting! The pork itself was really good. And the veg and black pudding went will with it. All washed down with a glass of pino. Happy out!

I have scored this a 4 out of 5, perhaps a little unfairly as it would have scored higher had I…read moreordered different food. To start with I ordered 'locally shot pigeon'. I've only had pigeon once before so when I saw this I had to have it. I'm delighted I did as it was beautiful, nice and juicy as it was water cooked. It was rich and complimented by the bacon and stilton salad. For the main we both ordered burger. I don't know why I did that as there were so many other unusual dishes on the menu and I resorted to good ol' hamburger - not the most daring. It was good but I've been eating a lot of good burgers recently and this sat somewhere in the middle of all of those. As I say the 4 rating is really because of the burger so harsh as it was not the restaurant that chose the dish for me. I look forward to going again when I shall be eating something a bit more unique to the kitchen, and I'm sure the 4 star rating will move to a 5.

On our first full day in the UK (from US), we wanted an authentic English meal. After sleeping in…read morefrom the time change, we ate around 1pm. The place is very quaint. The tables downstairs are a little too close for my liking. We went upstairs and found a cute window table, overlooking the alley below. We started with a pot of tea and debated the large menu for a while. I opted for the Caspian breakfast and my husband ordered the pork pie with a side of chips (fries). The presentation on both was great. I wanted to love the food, but it was just okay. The Caspian breakfast was a waffle with sweet cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon, poached eggs, caviar eggs and sliced avocado. The waffle and poached egg were cooked perfectly. I didn't care for the sweet cream cheese and ended up taking that off. The avocado looked pretty, but tasted underripe. It also came with toast. My husbands pork pie was okay. It tasted like a summer sausage in a flaky pastry. It came with a side salad with Stilton cheese and walnuts, which was also just okay. The server was very friendly and prices were reasonable. If I lived here, I would definitely try again, but I would order different foods.

As a foreigner when you think of an English breakfast or brunch experience what often comes to mind…read moreis the fairy tale inspired tea and toast enjoyed in a quaint bed and breakfast, and unfortunately this dream is often shattered when you realize that Starbucks, Cafe Nero, and Pret have more or less taken over the wonderful world of breakfast. Fear not - Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms has preserved the traditional quaintness of a B&B in a way that caters to anyone and everyone, and it's absolutely excellent. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Tucked away in a side alley, the location of Mrs. Bridges is as much a landmark as anything in Leicester, and once you step inside you'll understand why. The most comfortable of settings includes various tea rooms on two levels as well as an outdoor seating area that I was able to enjoy on what was a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. It was crowded at 1030, but I was still able to have a seat right away and service didn't lag. I can't stress enough how fantastic the atmosphere at Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms is, and loved that even school age children seemed to really enjoy and appreciate it along with the expected adult crowd. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? £6.50 is a beautiful price for French toast with bacon and maple syrup with a pot of tea for an additional £1.85. As you can see in the picture my portion was hearty and I was more than satisfied at the end of the day with what would have easily cost me £12 in London. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I'm not entirely sure whether the atmosphere or the fact that it was a beautiful day just made everything taste better, but my french toast was amazing even while being as simple as can be. There was nothing fancy here but there didn't need to be, and I noticed as I was sitting down that a steady stream of people were coming in for sandwiches to go that everyone was raving about (and kudos for having special sandwiches that rotate). There are some meals that you really can't even put a finger on with respect to what makes it so good, and this was one of those meals. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms is a well known Leicester establishment whose appeal could possibly be bottled and expanded, but for now it's a brilliant gem in the center of England that I'd gladly visit daily. Star Granted.

You know when you expect a Sunday dinner to be good?, after all it's not hard to make a cock up of it is it, well this was far in excess of what we expected it was absolutely bloody lovely and if I lived near there I would make it a regular haunt. The staff was pleasant ad friendly and did keep us aware of the wait we had in front of us. So if you live near here and haven't tried it I would recommend here.
