"This is now called the Atherstone cafe, unbeknown to us, which we only found out upon turning up at what we thought would be the larder, when you google the larder whilst it’s says new ownership and says it is open it doesn’t advise of name change, also the telephone number is now invalid. We now know why!!!We chose the larder as the reviews said the gluten free breakfast was excellent. We were meeting our daughter halfway between Leicester and Solihull and drove 35 mins to get there. The tables are small and crammed together.A lovely young girl served us but it was a bit off putting seeing the splodges of food all over her white top. She then informed us no they no longer do gluten free breakfasts and the chef wasn’t really happy to do me anything due to the allergy. I then asked could they not do me some scrambled eggs in the microwave I had bought my own bread just in case, as you would not believe how many places offer gluten free yet don’t even keep one loaf in the freezer!.So after tooing and frowing it was agreed yes they would do me some eggs.My husband and daughter and her husband all ordered a big breakfast. It was slop!!! Hard bacon cheap sausage tinned tomatoes{could they not have offered me those as well} white bread barely toasted. I’m am not at all surprised they want to get people there thinking it’s the larder.. my advice forget it don’t go... I’m not sure they really want to keep their customers!!!!"

"I've visited here a couple times with friends and have always enjoyed our stay; whether it be for just drinks or food. I always wanted to book one of the pods available and for a family members 50th it was a cheap and cheerful evening....It seated 12 of us; it was quant, warm with the heater, comftable seats and cushions even for somebody with Fibromyalgia, windows opened, your own music with Bluetooth connection and RGB lights that could be changed colours by remote. It was fun for all ages! We was able to put our own stamp on the evening, accommodating for our x3 large balloons sets, confetti, photos and a baby. The food was lovely. We had a couple starters which had great compliments all round, x2 steak meals which was cooked very well, including my rare steak which was cooked perfectly (always a difficult one so was dead pleased). Our waitress Michelle was personable, friendly, fun and nothing was too much trouble. Highchair check, any silly questions check, kids demands and several orders even with last minute changes check! All spot on and really pleased. The pods are obviously a gorgeous choice for special evenings but the pub and environment is a great armosphere set in a lovely part of shustoke. Although clearly busy and at times can seem stressful the team are great and are fab hosts. Thank you so much team as we thoroughly enjoyed our evening, including the birthday girl."

"Have visited the Quicken Tree many times over the years and have always enjoyed the food and had good service. However, today's visit was a different story. We visited with a couple of friends for Sunday lunch and initially things were fine. We were seated promptly, orders taken and drinks served. Food took a while, but it was a busy Sunday afternoon, so a delay can be expected. Then things went downhill. Food was great, but no one came to ask if all was OK or ask if we wanted any more drinks. Took half an hour after we'd finished for someone to clear the plates. We asked for the desert menu, waited ten minutes but no sign of it. Flagged down another member of staff who brought the menus, who then came back and took our orders for desert and more drinks. Ten minutes later, no sign of any drinks or deserts. Another member of staff came and asked if we wanted anything else. We explained we had already ordered but nothing had arrived. She checked and came back to tell us the order had not gone through, so we said forget it we'll just have the bill. Then the desserts turn up, still no drinks. We explained we were told the order hadn't gone through and did not want them as we had waited too long and had asked for the bill. When the bill came it was for a different table! By this time the restaurant was much quieter with plenty of staff just hanging around doing nothing. Customers shouldn't have to go around trying to get service. Shame, because it ruined a nice afternoon out with friends. Looks like poor management and poor staff training and poor communications. Won't be coming back and won't recommend."
