This is an American style pub with variety of beer selection but mostly American food menu. The food is quite good. I ordered fish and chips, the fish was fresh and fries were okay.

This is the "pub club" my boyfriend and his friends planned to go to for his goodbye dinner…read more Luckily I was excited to be go here because it's one hell of a walk from any place of interest at Warwick Uni. Somehow, others made the trek as well, and on a Friday night there was a decent sized crowd both in the pub and the garden. Our group was rather huge (20 people showed up for Mr Popular!) and we were all in good spirits and ready to order food, then drink and dance the night away. Only our plans were nipped in the bud at dinner. Upon standing in line, we were told that the kitchen was 1 hour behind in delivering the food, so it'd be 1 hour before they would take any more food orders. Uhh...come again? How can they tell me this and expect me to actually wait? It's Friday night and you're understaffed? Grossly incompetent? A bit of both?? Judging from the fancy placard behind the counter that allows the staff to chalk in how far behind the kitchen is, this is just how life goes for people looking for food and a good time at Varsity. And in one hour's time, they stop serving food altogether, so in an indirect way she just told me they were planning to close the kitchen for the night. Disenchanted, we accepted our destiny to wander the nightlife wasteland of the West Midlands once more, in search of the promised land of drinks and dances.

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.

It's also a nice place to drop in for a cream tea early afternoon during the weekend and the scones and clotted cream are exceptional. Good old English fare I would say this is probably one of the best 3 places to eat in Loughborough.

The new people have already made a big change. Outside they have taken away the beer garden completely and extended the car park. Next to the pub they've also had the patio/ smokers area made bigger. Having the beer garden taken away is a shame as they used to have a bouncy castle up in the summer and it was the only pub you could go as a family. Inside there is a kind of chill out room with a few comfy chairs and tables. Round into the bar which is quite thin and tends to get a bit packed. They do have another room down the end where they sometimes show sports and this is where you can retreat to get away from the live music which can be quite deafening. They do do food, which I didn't think was great but that was with the old people. It's a nice place in the centre of the village.
