The Bakers Arms - Harborough

We go to this pub every year when my partner visits his parents in the UK. They used to own a shop right across the road (in the 70's). In 2022 my partner met his childhood friend whom he never saw for 40 years. Great beers, great place and great food. We always come back and always will every year everytime we visit the UK.

The Bakers always have the most delicious food in a very cosy country pub setting could not recommend more if you are in area.

Came here for my daughter’s 18th Birthday but that didn’t stop the owners being incredibly rude within the first few minutes of sitting down. They asked for our drinks order within 20 seconds of us sitting down. I explained we just needed to takes our coat of and settle in but they came back 45 seconds later before I had even had time to ask everyone what they wanted. At this point the (male owner) actually rolled his eyes with impatience. If it hadn’t have been my daughter’s birthday I would have walked out there and then. Needless to say the abrupt and rude, snappy service continued from the owner couple. Despite pre booking we were made to feel completely unwelcome the whole night. They totally ruined my daughter’s birthday meal, the only time she will ever have this special day. Disgusting behaviour don’t run a restaurant if you hate your customers Food was ok but nothing special and portions small Avoid don’t make the mistake we did

Across our pre-booked group of a dozen, there was a fair range of opinions about the food, ranging roughly from adequate to good (though everyone agreed it was somewhat pricey). In contrast, our views about the quality of the service were pretty unanimous. The spirit of Basil Fawlty seemed to be alive and well in the manageress. Unwelcoming, curt and rude were the adjectives most commonly used in our subsequent discussion of our experience. As if our presence (and the £300 plus of trade we represented) was a somewhat inconvenient or unwelcome intrusion on what otherwise seemed to be a rather quiet Saturday lunchtime. No-one left with the intention of ever eating at the Baker's Arms again, I'm afraid

Went here for a friend’s birthday, fabulous Sunday lunch, between us we had Chicken, Beef the Vegetarian option. it was very busy as they were just back from Holiday, there was a small wait for the food, but it was well worth it! We’ll be back!
