Enjoyable evening with great food and helpful staff.Only criticism was it took a long time for the food to arrive after the order was taken.
We had a beautiful lunch at The Unicorn's Head. The quality of the fresh ingredients was excellent and locally sourced. The Beef and Stout Pie with amazing homemade chips and mushy peas were excellent with lovely home-cooked flavours and light pastry. The Spaghetti Carbonara contained home baked ham and a selection of mushrooms and was creamy and delicious. The sticky toffee pudding was light and very tasty with flavours of treacle. This was my first time going to the Unicorn's Head but it certainly won't be my last. I couldn't fault the staff either who were attentive without being over-fussy and their professionalism is a rare thing to find in a lot of restaurants and pubs. Great value at £11.95 for two courses at lunch time.
Fish pie devoid of fish and watery. Chips black, but apparently not burnt, it was just the sugar in the potato skin that made them look burnt, I sent them back anyway and the replacements must have been sugar free as they were golden brown. One of the waiting staff said he had the fish pie and his had no fish in it either! The bar manager was polite and reduced the bill and gave us a voucher, I think we will wait a while before going back. We have on previous occasions had nice meals here.
Tried on the recommendation of family and wasn’t disappointed. Great location, fantastic food and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend the kebabs and the pizzas looked amazing (I’ll be trying one on my next trip).
Amazing food lovely staff and very quick service very impressed
Table booked for four people - had a great experience, we had no complaints - lovely meal, great atmosphere and we received excellent service :D Thanks
Great evening at the Unicorns Head. A really wide choice on the menu even for my vegetarian teenager. Lovely, friendly service. We will definitely be back.
Our favourite place to eat. Delicious food, friendly atmosphere and great service. The Unicorns Head is a a lovely building, set in a beautiful village.
Brilliant service, food came promptly and staff were very friendly. The interior was very nice and welcoming. I thought the food tasted amazing and was worth the price. Would definitely recommend.
The food was very good. The only downside was we felt as though we were being rushed, even though the restaurant wasn’t full. Friendly staff
Nice setting and lovely food. Waitress was very stand offish and didn’t really make us feel welcome which ruined the evening really. Very friendly chap behind the bar.
We have eaten several times before at the the unicorn our last visit being in February 2018 and have alway had a lovely meal with excellent service, so this is why we choose it to take our friend out for her 60th birthday traveling just under a hour from Derbyshire for our visit. But how things have changed. Food was way below stranded and service, what can I say I think the staff were inexperienced and made it up as they went along, instead of finding the correct answer to your question. Very poor will not be going again and have advised our friends that took us originally not to bother as well. The 1 is because there's no 0 😤
Food on the floor Cutlery dirty Not all food on menu available Had to ask about salad that was missing from two main meals Not all deserts available One desert chosen was quite rubbery, not nice, advised staff who did remove cost from the final bill Steaks not cooked to customer request. Looking forward to it but very disappointed.
We arrived 15 minutes before our table reservation. There was nobody at the bar and staff were walking around looking thoroughly disinterested. Most of the tables were empty of guests but full of empty glasses and dirty plates. We did not stop to find out what the food was like. A very poor first impression.
Food was beautifully cooked and there was plenty of it. Opted for the early bird menu for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the value. Would recommend and will be returning.
Great atmosphere and food. Served quickly by friendly attentive staff in this lovely country pub set in this pretty pact if the Vale of Belvoir.
Lovely evening and great food. Fab play area for the kids which meant I could enjoy my birthday g&t in peace!! Will definitely be returning
Good food , good friendly efficient staff a throughly enjoy able experience . Will be returning in the very near future hoping for another enjoyable evening.
Quick service. Huge carvery plates and it was well managed as you are invited up one table at a time. 5 choices of meat and the food was good. There is a lovely outdoor area and child friendly playground. There was even a bouncy castle today. (Dont know if that’s always there as this was my first time). I will definitely be going back.
Food was nice and the decor was lovely however the service wasn’t that great. It took a long time to get drinks and food. .
Good food, friendly staff, but very slow on service and not particularly busy. Would have been ok without children, but they waited 45 minutes for food and were hungry and there’s really no excuse for leaving the table uncleared for 30 minutes without us asking for the desert menu. A bit more attention to detail and it would have been a better first impression. We might go back, but there’s a lot of good pubs in the Vale.
Friendly staff who wanted to do everything they could to resolve problems as we had to send back our steak twice. Third time it was fine but by then we had lost some of the desire to eat it. Could not fault the response of the staff in trying to resolve the problem and offer a discount on the bill and a complimentary drink. Have been before and have not had any problems. Fantastic gin selection although staff need more training about the range and service of gin and tonic. Would give it another go.
Very busy due to function at Langar Hall but still had good service and good food. Staff were very friendly and helpful considering the amount of people in
A lovely evening. The meal was very good and the staff were very attentive and helpful. And we look forward to returning again very soon.
We had a Delicious Carvery! Great garden for the kids to play in and general atmosphere is nice and friendly. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!
What a lovely venue. Our second visit. Food choice very good. When it arrived it was piping hot and well presented. Service was excellent from the young ladies. We will definitely be back again.
Mayhem. Barrel took forever to change. Steak over cooked. Burnt pizza. Beer was good when finally arrived. Won’t go back for food. Nice beer gardens. Staff v young and inexperienced. Most appeared more interested in building what looks like a BBQ section for Monday. Didn’t complain to be honest - just wanted to leave ASAP.
V friendly staff and excellent food. Will definitely be returning. Starters were delicious and the 1 Kg Tomahawk steak was definitely enjoyed by 2 of us.
Lovely lady served us. Exceptional service. A lovely place to eat in a lovely clean pub. Lovely food. Highly recommend. We will definitely come again.
The food was lovely chosen from a varied menu in a great relaxed setting. Plenty of outside space. Reasonably priced for a lunchtime. Will be back
The Unicorn is a lovely friendly pub that serves excellent food, The service is always with a smile and efficient and there is a good choice of menu.
Very good, excellent food and good atmosphere. Lovely décor and service................g h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
Average food and dirty toilets - distinctly overrated and won’t be going back. Staff very friendly but it all felt disorganised. My husband could see the Uncle Ben’s tinned sauce being slopped onto his pizza!
Always last to leave and they never rush you. Good selection of food and they sell Vimto which makes a change for non drinkers. Recommend
Great food choice - we ate from the carvery where veg & other accompaniments frequently refreshed Quality & quantity ( amazing ) Good, punctual service
Great Food Great Service and you didn't have to wait. Lovely location lovely decor. I would recommend it to my family and friends, well I went with my family and we all agreed. so yes try it.
Super food and drink, attentive staff and a very generous carver! It was very busy but that should be expected when you get everything right. Thanks.
It was a bit busy being near Christmas so many people a bit noisy
Had a great time. Good all round Menu pleased everyone.Staff five stars very attentive,quick and polite. Can’t wait to return. Good accessibility for disabled person in group with plenty of on site easy parking.
Great food. Everything cooked lovely. Only negative is that the waitresses should be prepared to answer questions about the menu. Overall though a good experience and we will return.
Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, nice food, staff and beer !! Highly recommend
Great high quality food although service was a little slow. Good range of beers and play area for children outside in the spacious back garden.
Varied menu. Real pies with buttery short pastry. Vegetables well cooked. Will definitely return to sample other meals which look very tempting. Pity about loud music played.
Food was good, not amazing but good. Service is awful. We’ve been twice now and the service was bad both times. Slow and lacking passion. Stunning pub.
Yummy dinner, from fab fish pie, to ribs and wings and a purrrrfect steak. Kids love the chicken coujons. A very pleasant family evening with friendly staff.
Pie Monday? Went for the steak and ale pie, chips and mushy peas. Loads of meat . One of the best meat pies I've ever had .
We had a really lovely time , the food was fantastic and the staff are all friendly and helpful . Would definitely recommend this lovely pub to anyone :) Sue
A bit of a wait for the food but it was worth the wait, delicious. Service good and hardworking staff who are always very attentive.
We very much enjoyed the food but unfortunately we had to wait a long time for our drinks to be brought over & as we were sitting close to the bar we wer3 aware that the young staff although trying their hardest we very disorganised with no one really in control of which table was ready & who to seat or which drinks were for which table. However we hope to return to give it another go.
really lovely service and fo9d - just a shame they were out of the monkfish.
