  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "Not ridiculously expensive either which surprised me as the food was amazing."

Cons:
