Found the cubicals a little tight but once in they were quite comfortable . The two veggie burgers that two of our party had were trotted to be bland which was a shame as the rest of the meals were very nice. The staff were friendly and the service good.

Nice eating area. Lovely atmosphere. Delicious chicken and leek pie,( proper pie ,not meat with a separately cooked pastry top plonked on top) served with separate veggies crunchy chips and gravy. Delicious raspberry bread and butter pudding with ice cream for dessert. Quick and efficient service Reasonably priced and very good quality.

Never fails or disappoints. A regular place for me and friends to eat. Food always piping hot and presented with imagination. Would appreciate more exciting puddings but often too full to even consider!!

Food was good the Yorkshire pud was a bit doughy, and the potions are a bit small. The staff were freindly, kind and quick and helpful.

Very popular and justifiably so. Despite a party of 24 we did not have to wait too long to get our delicious Sunday roast meals. Generous portions and excellent value.

A relaxed dining experience. Standard pub menu with specials. Food came promptly and was well presented. Interestingly I had lovely chunky chips with my gammon but my son had some anaemia looking fries with his burger - he wasn't happy!

We normally go on weekdays & I would give them 6 for the quality of those meals, however the Sunday dinners are not quite as good. Still good though.

Not a comment on the food, but my friend and i were sandwiched at a small table for two between two much larger tables with very little space between. It just felt cramped and uncomfortable which impacted on our enjoyment of our meal. A shame, because all else - food and service - were great.

Unfortunately we thought the service was below par. We sat down 15 mins late(our fault) , but waited 20 mins before we saw a menu. Another 25 mins to the starters then a massive 30 mins for our mains. Had to request coffee twice. Food good as always but let down by below average service.

Good food as always, nice staff and pints. I would say that it's a bit annoying that you cannot get waitress service in the garden but it's a minor drawback

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.

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😀

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.
