A nice and well presented village pub. The food we had tasted great, however there were issues. Firstly our drinks order took about 15 mins to arrive. We ordered the seabass and king prawns. This was supposed to come with a white creamy sauce. However the dish came with a red coloured sauce and tasted of tomato. I asked the waitress if this is the correct sauce and she replied it was and it had turned red because of the prawns. I'm sorry, that's a complete lie. I later found a picture of the dish with a white sauce that confirmed it was different. Also, there were only two prawns! I asked for some lemon to squeeze over the fish. The waitress brought it over in the palm of her hand. Not very hygienic at all! It seemed there was one waitress looking after the entire restaurant. Quite disappointed with the service, especially with paying a higher than average price for meals.

Went 16.30 on a Sunday. Really busy and super atmosphere in the restaurant area. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was good, wait for food not too long. For starters we had calamari which was lovely, and mackerel pate which was also nice but overpowered by the horseradish cream. Mains were steak which my partner loved. I had pork belly roast which was mostly nice apart from the Brussels being completely cold and the 2 smaller pieces of pork I had were burnt underneath which was a shame. Disappointing as we have been here before and had no problems, but will still try again another Sunday.

Great choice in food and drinks, service was superb and atmosphere was lovely and cozy. Open fire, low lighting and tasteful decor. Will visit as often as possible, food was really tasty and good value. Close to Bradgate park and surrounding areas such as the resovoir and swithland woods as well as Ansty and Cropston.

Sunday Roast Review!! We had heard really great reviews for the Sunday roast here at Badger Sett - but disappointing unfortunately! Ordered the Sunday Trio, which consisted of beef, pork belly and turkey. (As seen in the picture attached) The beef was waaaay over cooked. Please note how the piece of pork belly is the size of my little finger (gutted because this was what I was most looking forward to! ‘Maple bacon crumb’ - not true, it was just standard dry pork belly with no crackling) and very dry turkey. Such a shame because it could have been great. The gravy was delicious, however you’re served with probably about 50ml so ordered another round for the table. We could have done with another round because it was probably the best part of the meal really.

The lamb koftas were nice but mild on the spices. The sea bass was wholesome and well cooked. The gammon steak was also nicely cooked. The service is good but there is a lack of communication during busy times. Overall recommended for the good food and ambience.
