About This Pub
Ah, The Priory – it's one of those places that really hits the spot for a good night out. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food is a standout; think hearty breakfasts, fresh sea bass, and sharing plates that leave you satisfied without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is just right too – modern and luxurious, perfect for nipping in for drinks with friends or a proper sit-down meal. Service-wise, it's mostly brilliant, with staff being attentive and friendly, but let's be honest, on a bustling Saturday, it might not be as smooth as you'd hope, with one reviewer noting they were a bit run off their feet. Overall, with a solid 4.3 rating from heaps of folks, it's clear this spot does a lot right, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area – just maybe avoid the rush if you're after seamless service. It's got that welcoming feel that makes you want to come back for more.

Went for breakfast here, the food was excellent and plentiful. Service was excellent, considering the chap was on his own and was run off his feet!
Just out for drinks, lovely spot to catch up with friends. Next time will come for food.
The food & drinks were really nice - their Pornstar Martini was up there with the best as were the other drinks. For food I had the sea bass (see photo) followed by sharing the crème brûlée and they were both also really tasty.
Our biggest gripe was the service. Ok, so it was a Saturday night with a table of 12 but we had pre-booked the table so we expected good service. It was nearly an hour before our food order was even taken. The drinks also took a long time to come. Such a disappointment.

We were told about this Pub and heard good things and it did not disappoint the food was great. The atmosphere was nice. Service was good really enjoyed the variety of starters and the selection of drinks on offer. Highly recommend this place will definitely visit again. Really enjoyed the food And the staff were great with the kids providing colouring books and pencils.
Lovely gastropub with modern and luxurious decor. Staff are friendly and service attentive. Menu is varied with a wide choice. The same is true of the drinks menu.
We visited around 1:45pm for lunch and it was still very busy with new tables arriving. Most possibly because it is graduation day at Loughborough university. Whilst it was busy, it had a nice vibe and good atmosphere.
Our food was lovely and plentiful. All our dishes tasted nice. I have been told the milkshakes are really nice and is a must try.
Would definitely visit again. Highly recommended.
