About This Pub

You know, I've got to say, popping into Harvester Wheatsheaf in Loughborough feels like a proper treat for a relaxed meal with the family or mates. The grub is what really stands out – that unlimited salad bar is a winner, and the grilled dishes like their rotisserie chicken are full of flavour and always satisfying. It's spot on for families too, with a kids' menu that keeps the little ones happy and plenty of veggie and vegan choices so no one's left out. The staff can be absolute gems, like the cheerful servers who've been praised for their attentiveness, making you feel right at home. Plus, with its handy spot near the M1, easy parking, and a charming beer garden, it's ideal for a quick stop after exploring nearby spots. On the flip side, though, service isn't always top-notch; there've been times when waits dragged on or food didn't come out quite right, like a burnt pizza that left someone disappointed and the response a bit lacklustre. Still, with an overall solid rating, it's worth a visit if you're after good value and a laid-back atmosphere – just keep in mind it might not be perfect every time, but that's pub life for you!

9 of us got together yesterday to celebrate the end of my partners grandsons GCSE's. The staff were attentive when necessary. I always love a harvester meal as I enjoy the salad , rolls and chicken. I think the lady that served us was Lisa. She was cheerful, polite and professional. ( as I said we were on a table for 9, I had the ultimate mixed grill and enjoyed it. The steak was perfectly cooked too.

The table next to us were served, eaten and went even though we were seated at least 20 mins before them. Daughters food was inedible. A burnt pizza. Told the waitress who just said “ok”. Between the cook and the waitress they must have seen how poor the pizza was. We were there for two and half hours. Staff avoid eye contact to avoid you or just keep walking if you ask for help. You need to get out of your chair and stop someone. No butter for bread. Salad bar half empty and dirty. The place looks like it’s given up. Absolutely awful.

Becks is a great host and helped with all our needs! I’m sure she could handle any question asked of her, will happily come back if I get served by her again! Top place now after it’s had a refurbishment inside!! Highly recommend the Wing N Wave with large chips and Beef Dripping Gravy!!!
