First visit after moving to Oadby. Everything was good. The cream with the bread and butter pudding was inadequate. There was a bit of the previous diner's lunch on my chair. However overall we enjoyed our meal.

Good food but service was very slow and we had to ask for the dessert menu and get up to pay the bill. It was my mums birthday too so very disappointed with the lack of service.

Excellent meal served in a friendly manner. A relaxed atmosphere just right when there are two little boys in the party. Serving was expeditious but you didn't feel rushed. The Cradock is our first choice for a family Sunday Lunch.

Never disappointed with the food here and we have been many times. The beer is well looked after too - both Everards and guest ales, as well as good selection of lagers. Highly recommended!

Lovely meal, didn't have to wait long for our food once ordered and all the meals were delicious. We all had roasts and the vegetables in particular were scrummy, so many serve them over cooked and spoilt. Didn't all have room for puddings but the ones that were ordered were to die for...... Staff were very friendly, lovely atmosphere there today, nothing was too much trouble for the staff, highly recommend you visit😀

Very nice food, I would say the mayonnaise in the jar is very unhygienic, a bottle would be much preferred. Nice servers and I would definitely come again

Another very good meal at The Cradock Arms. Welsh Rarebit every bit as good as the last time we were there. My wife's Mushroom Wellington was as good as last time and my Sirloin steak was the best steak I have had for a long time and was cooked to perfection. 2 courses and 2 rounds of drinks for just over £50 for this quality is very good value

Great pub, great food. The only downer is serving food on slate instead of normal plates. The sound of the knife cutting food is like nails down a blackboard. Awful.

Went there with our family including 3 children. The service was very friendly and efficient and the food lovely. The only thing which could have made the experience even better would have been for the venue to provide something a little extra for the children, eg colouring pages and crayons. This would have lifted the experience from super to superb!

We eat here several times a month. The food is always great - we have old favourites, but sometimes there are tempting dishes in the specials (if the twice-cooked belly of pork is on, definitely!). Ambience in the restaurant is good. (JohnP)

Very disappointing. Paid £16.50 for a 'special' of Turbot with crushed potatoes . It was a tiny piece of fish with potatoes but no vegetables. When I complained I was eventually brought some green beans. Too little too late. Complained to the owner who apologised and said we have your details we will be in touch. 10 days later not a word.
