Thracian Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Anyone know where I can get a sensibly priced but half decent pub meal on the Hinckley side of Leicestershire? I thought I'd hit on the solution with the Hungry Horse/Mill on the Soar pub at Croft til the meal arrived. And then I discovered exactly why the horse stayed hungry. It had probably eaten there before and once was enough! I didn't think there was too much you could do wrong with fish and chips but the fish was so overdone I wondered if it had been cooked for a previous customer as well. As for the bread it seemed so old it might have been a bit left over from Christ's feeding of the 5,000. The waitress clearly missed the point when she asked if 'everything was alright' and we complained. She offered us a free sweet. As if anyone served a lousy meal should actually want to eat some more. It was our second visit in a week. The first time the til malfunctioned and, as is often the case nowadays, particularly at garages, once the electronics go, a fair impression of chaos ensued. Which all leaves me needing a regular eathouse where we can relax after a day's trading and where they take a bit of pride in what they do.
Fox You Forest Posted 14 October 2008 Posted 14 October 2008 Cook for yourself :eek: Such a refined being should never be made to cook for himself. How do you overcook a simple cod in batter.

What about the sense of achievement cooking an abosulte master piece like cooking sausages in rosemary and thyme. Or hash browns and dim sims on the bbq. Or just an awesome salad sandwich

Fox You Forest Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 I'd rather eat in Coalville than Stinkley You've not lived until you have had something from the Kashmir Tandoori.
Milky Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 You've not lived until you have had something from the Kashmir Tandoori. Is that in Coalville? Cus i just might've been to that fine establishment.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 I'd rather eat in Coalville than Stinkley I'd rather eat out a hot scandinavian blonde
Fox You Forest Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Is that in Coalville? Cus i just might've been to that fine establishment. Sure is, Opposite The Engine pub.
Milky Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 I'd rather eat out a hot scandinavian blonde I'd have a mild scandinavian blonde. Not a fan of spicy food really...
lildave3 Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 I'd rather eat in Coalville than Stinkley Even the chippy's are shit in Coalville.
Fox You Forest Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Even the chippy's are shit in Coalville. Tis true they occasionally have a good day but not very often.
Milky Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Sure is, Opposite The Engine pub. hmmm, i'm not really up on my coalville tourist attractions.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Even the chippy's are shit in Coalville. That's criminal. Shit fish and chip shops don't deserve to be open
Fox You Forest Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 hmmm, i'm not really up on my coalville tourist attractions. It's overpriced and wank it's no tourist attraction.
Milky Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 It's cheap and fantastic. Areal tourist attraction. Certainly the Hinckley side of Leicester too Hey Thracian! We've found a really nice place for you!
Fox You Forest Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Hey Thracian! We've found a really nice place for you! It's right next to the Emporium too so Saturday nights are best.

The Hinckley area certainly lacks good eating establishment. The only suggestion I can make is the Man at Arms in Bitteswell, although that is closer to Lutterworth. The Bluebell in Stoney Stanton is also worthy of a shout, but it really depends what you are looking for. Both of the aforementioned establishments offer very good steaks, or at least they did when I last patronised them. The Man at Arms steak was in league of it's own. Melt in the mouth stuff.
Unabomber Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 You've not lived until you have had something from the Kashmir Tandoori. Superb place
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 Nah, it's Fenners off Soccer am doing his Tony Maloney. Your forgiven then
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 15 October 2008 Posted 15 October 2008 I do like Freestyler though Unforgiven now
