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

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 service, cheery atmosphere, a nice Sunday roast for the family with our young children. Husband especially liked the sticky toffee pudding with custard and I enjoyed the Eton mess.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

chicken dish was supposed to be on a bed of potatoes. There was 1 potato, fanned out thinly. Ordered more potatoes otherwise so little carbs!
