"We ate here on an evening and left feeling fairly underwhelmed. Let me tell you... We were greeted upon entry with a warm welcome, but the restaurant lacked any real atmosphere or feeling you are in for a treat. The menu was on a QR code which is never great for the menu browsers among us. I like to scour the options before I make my choice, but scrolling through a website to see what to order just put me right off from the start. We then see shortly afterwards, menus given to other customers how odd, maybe we looked like QR code type people! We ordered food, and it was nothing special from start to finish. Cook from frozen calamari which was a little greasy, and olives that were of the cheap variety. Mains that were fairly run of the mill, although the pizza was apparently 'nice ' according to the other half. Pasta sauce that wouldn 't jump out in a crowd and bruschetta that was fine, but not value for money. Drinks wise, half a pint of Peroni was £3.95 which is fairly steep. No wine menu was given again, check the QR code and scroll to see the wine, quite honesty, very annoying having to do so hence we didn 't order wine. Certainly not worth the wait, the cost or our time popping in here. Not a complete disaster however by any means the host was polite if not a little quirky, and the female server was busy, if not somewhat stiff. My recommendation would be to pop some classic Italian tunes on in the background for atmosphere, menus for every table, lose the somewhat stark table dressing and look to offer your customers a true Italian experience. Overall, I 'd give the restaurant a 2.9 out of 5. I am not sure I 'll be rushing back anytime soon."

"I used to love the Wheatsheaf but I now think it 's overpriced and a little chaotic sometimes. So, I doubt we 'll go back for another meal anytime soon, but it 's still a good cosy pub when the fires are going, and it has a friendly atmosphere. I went with friends on a weekend evening and ordered the 'Derbyshire ' pie, which was beef and ale. It was a very nice pie but not that large compared to the pies that the kitchen used to produce when the previous landlord and landlady were there. There was a little veg a few bits of carrot and peas, and a too large portion of mashed potato which I suspect was to make the meal look bigger! The pie, veg and mash were not in the right proportions to each other. It was also quite expensive for what it was nearly £16, when I would have been quite happy to pay maybe £11 or £12. The young lady behind the bar was struggling to serve everyone despite the landlord being in the room chatting and I think he should have stepped in to help I 've noticed this before, and I don 't think it makes them look good. Having said that the young lady, as nice as she is, probably is not ideally suited to bar work as she sometimes gets confused by the prices and forgets things, but that could be because she 's rushing around trying to do too much. To be honest, the prices at the Bradgate in Cropston are much more reasonable and the portions are larger, but being totally fair, sometimes their food is not quite as tasty as the Wheatsheaf food!"

"My recent visit to The Bradgate with friends and a small dog was regrettably underwhelming. Our group, consisting of four adults and a well-behaved canine, went there with the simple hope of enjoying a drink together after a walk through Bradgate Park. Upon our request for seating, we were promptly informed that the presence of our small dog precluded us from dining in the main area, which was notably almost empty at the time. We were then told that the designated dog-friendly zone, was fully booked. The size of this indoor pet-accommodating space was surprisingly limited compared to the rest of the establishment. Further exacerbating our disappointment, we noticed a table becoming available in the dog-friendly section as a group left. However, our hopes were dashed when the staff informed us that the table was reserved – a rigid stance, particularly considering our plan was for a brief visit of merely 15 to 20 minutes for a drink. We waited for a taxi for the following 15 minutes, during which time we noted that the table that had previously become available, was still available. The complete lack of flexibility or the offer of a temporary seating arrangement until the reserved party arrived was disappointing. Moreover, the interaction with the staff lacked any semblance of warmth or hospitality. We were met with a blunt and unwelcoming attitude, with no effort made to accommodate or empathise with our situation. It was disconcerting to see a customer-focused business display such indifference, especially given the conspicuous availability of seating in the larger part of the pub. In conclusion, our experience at The Bradgate was marked by rigidity and a lack of customer service. The inability to adapt to a simple request, coupled with an unwelcoming demeanour, overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable experience at the pub."
