Really nice little country pub that really looks after you…read more We like to go as a family occasionally as they are really good to the kids. They do do kids stuff but you can have smaller versions of the adults dinners if they prefer something different to their usual choice of junk food on offer. Parking is a little scary with small kids as they are on the main road through Sharnford and you have to park over the road in the village hall car park. The menu is small but vared and they have personal names for the food named after the locals like Johns Shepherds Pie etc. Even Bill 'Greengrass' Maynard has a named dish though I can't remember what it is. There is a bar area with a TV for the footy, some tables near the bar and a bigger room for dining. Also, last time I passed thety'd added a small marquee on the side though I don't know if this is permanent or just an added function tent. There is a reasonable sized beer garden for summer al frescoe dining or for the dirty unsociable smokers. Really worth a look if you're passing.

Burbage has loads of pubs and they are all trying to do what they can to keep the trade lost to the smoking ban. Where The Sycamores wins is the large grounds to the back where they've made every effort to make it a family friendly pub. There's a small car park, a seperate area for seating, a large grass area with trees (sycamores, believe it or not), a play area with soft bark and also a bouncy castle. When we last went in the summer, we sat on the grass and the kids went off to play and it felt very safe. The pub inside isn't massive and on a weekend night it can get pretty packed. For me it's definately the best pub in Burbage.

We've had some very good nights in here. It's our favourite pub in Stanton. When the last landlord…read moreran it it was really relaxed and I'm sure the new landlord will be the same. 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.

The landlord and landlady phil & dawn have transformed this historic public house into a stunning wam and friendly establishment and they work hard to make everyone feel comfortable.

Also there is a pool table with a pretty good pub team and also regular darts and domino's matches. Very worth a visit :)

There is nothing pretentious about this pub. Being a Freehouse it has avoided brewery/leisure group themed makeovers and corporate interferers.

A word of warning though; the queens is next to a florist and opposite a funeral directors,so, fall asleep in the bar at your peril !!

Perhaps out of the way for a few people but it means you get a lot of the locals in there (like myself!) which leads to a very pleasant and jovial ambience to the play. The low wooden beams and moody lighting might be the staple of this chain of pubs but don't let that put you off, this really is in the spirit of traditional old country pubs. The food is pretty good and there's a good selection of lagers bitters and ales on tap for the discerning drinker. The staff and the new management are much improved and very friendly with the punters and won't shy from a bit of joking and banter. The car park is always full, especially on Sundays when people go in for the Sunday roast which if anything is a sign of a successful establishment.

Terrible food - 'Bouncy/fatty/stringy meat', luke warm at best, school meals mash (lumpy and salty). Awful seating/tables - 4 of us squashed in a corner of a room smaller than my bathroom. Not even reasonable cost. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs, I will never darken the doorstep of this place again.

It's a little pub in the middle of an estate with a nice pub garden. Oh but the food, the food was excellent. We first sat outside enjoying some local bears then heading into the restaurant side later. They had what I would call traditional pub food menu then some extras. I had their 10oz rump steak and it was cooked to perfection, coupled with their stilton cheese source it was perfection. I would highly recommend this place, great food, good prices, very friendly staff and no rush atmosphere. After the meal we sat there chatting and finished up with a good cup of coffee, never felt rushed. Would go again in a heartbeat.

I think the locals should think themselves very lucky. My wife and I drove 400 miles from Scotland to spend 2 or 3 days there eating, drinking and enjoying the different copmany. We were not disapointed and the 800 mile round trip was well worth the time and money! The food was absolutely beautiful, as was the service, prices and the local customers. We cannot wait to return. If your are nearby or even within an hour or two of a drive, PLEASE make the effort to go and you WILL become regulars! Do book for food at the weekends though as they can be very busy even though they are 'in the middle of nowhere'. FANTASTIC 5*

On ordering my meal I was offered either tomato and spinach pasta or mushroom risotto. I had the pasta, which was nothing special, when my friend mentioned to the owner it was a shame that there was limited vegetarian options, we were subjected to a triad of how this is a meat eater restaurant and why should he offer vegetarian options, he was really rude and obnoxious and I was left feeling really upset and discriminated against just because I don't eat meat. The owner is really a rude man and there are obviously a lot of people taken in by his false, smarmy attitude, my friends included, but now they have seen him in his true colours. I notice that there have been several other reviewers which have the same opinion of the owner.Avo
