Food Quality
Pros:
"Well done chef the liver was cooked to perfection and the gravy was amazing!"

"The food was delicious."
"Food was pretty good. Fresh and generous portions."
"The beef cooked rare, turkey was juicy, and the pork with cracklyn amazing."
Cons:
"Poor condition of table, hand drier in men's toilet inoperative (and no hand towels available) and some exterior property defects."
"The beef was actually inedible (half the table couldn't even chew it)."
"The food was ok, portions not overly big... I would have expected more for a dish priced at £20."
"The Sunday lunch was a mediocre carvery, tough dry beef, leathery Yorkshire puddings."
"Really disappointing Sunday dinner, the food wasn’t even warm, my wife’s food went back, the gravy was cold, the beef was very pink and very bloody."
"The burger was much smaller than the bun, burnt and the bacon fat was either chewy or incredibly hard / crunchy."
"We had raw chicken for one of the main courses, a very small turkey crown for another and the chocolate deserts were dry & tasteless."
Ambience
Pros:
"In the dark location, seems ideal it's in the middle of nowhere, but once your there the place is really lovely, very festive feel."
"There is a large car park, a decked veranda area I suspect is very popular in summer, and extensive space inside broken up into various dining areas."
"It’s a great spot for a romantic dinner or a semi-formal o formal meal with friends."
"Meal for 2 on a warm Friday night so chose to sit outside, it felt just like being on holiday."
"All the staff were attentive despite having a large party and being busy."
"The new garden area adds something special too."
"Has a nice warm atmosphere, and the family loved it."
Cons:
"The place seems to always be like a furnace - both in October and May I was boiling in there."
"It was freezing cold, tables packed in, it was really noisy and you had to shout to be heard, and the knives were so blunt that cutting food was difficult."
"Low ceiling and tiled floor makes it horrendously noisy and echo-y."
"The place seems to always be like a furnace."
"Ambience lacking. Sticky and wobbly table."
"But then as it got busier and busier and louder and louder the whole ambience changed."
"Also the whole feel there has changed, it used to feel nice and a bit special there, it doesn’t now."
Value for Money
Pros:
"They do a £30 for 3 course meal on Saturdays which has a great selection to choose from."
"Make sure that you are very hungry when visiting there... as portions are very generous."
"On Saturday night they were only offering their 3-course set menu set at a very reasonable £39.50 which had a range of starters, mains and puds to select from."
"Find me a restaurant in south Leicestershire that comes close to being as good as the Goose with the same value for money... Not cheap but great quality with excellent service."
"Had a fantastic meal last night for my daughters birthday. It was a set menu but a good variety of choice. Value for money and portions were good."
"Food was amazing and price was spot on."
"Not ridiculously expensive either which surprised me as the food was amazing."
Cons:
"Used to be a great place but this weekend it was nothing short of a poor experience! Service was poor cocktails took far too long and the food was horrible do not have the rib of beef a complete waste of £50!"
"Quite overpriced for what you get unfortunately."
"Pretty average at £13.95 for one course."
"£2.25 for half a pint of lime and soda is basically just ridiculous."
"We had the carvery and the portions were tiny depsite the price now being more expensive."
"Definitely on the pricier end of the Sunday roast scale."
