"After being recommended to us, we booked for Sunday lunch with friends whilst staying locally at a nearby caravan site. First we were ushered quickly to our table and told that someone would take our drinks order when were seated, this would you be bad but none of knew what beers and ciders they actually sold. Once seated we waited 10 mins for a young inexperienced waitress to take our drink order. Unfortunately she didn't know what they sold either so we opted for the normal boring lager to make life easy (even the real ale drinkers did this). Each drink was delivered individually with quite some time between them then one drink didn't arrive so a trip to the bar was needed to ask where it was ! Once perusing the nice looking menu was over, our oder was taken. We never waited long for our starters and we all agreed that they were lovely and very tasty. This in mind, we were all looking forward to our roast dinners. This is where it all changed....we were not informed that the beef was served rare and had I have been a vet I suspect I could have got the breathing again!! I could have managed rare as a one off if it were succulent and not like chewing on an old leather boot. Others in the group had turkey which was fine however the sausage wrapped in bacon was putrid and tasted off. We were served vegetables in a deep bowl wih various veg in. Unfortunately we didn't know what was in there until we dug to the bottom. As it happened the veg on top we didn't like so we asked for the bowl to be taken back and presented in a more appropriate way. It came back in a flat server still mixed up ! One small boat of gravy was presented between 6 of us (all gravy lovers) so much of our time was spent asking for more or asking for better presented veg. I felt sorry for the waitress but I suspect it was a lack of training from management which made the poor girl look Inadequate at her job. The landlady attempted to be polite but was clearly disgruntled by us sending the veg back and requesting more gravy. We will not be returning and wish we had stayed on site for Sunday lunch in the clubhouse!"

Went here for a drink but ended up having a burger as they had a BBQ going at the front of the pub. Great atmosphere and great service

We visited on a long walk and were given a warm welcome into this beautiful pub, and told not to worry about our muddy boots as they were quite used to it, even though there was no evidence of this!

Visited for Sunday lunch whilst visiting Melton Mowbray. I had turkey and it was excellent, thickly sliced meat and all the trimmings, though there was so much I couldn't eat it all. Vegetables were very nice, including my favourite red cabbage. If we are ever in the area again would definitely go back.

So pleased we ignored the negative reviews of The Carington Arms. On a very hot Sunday we were looking for somewhere near Melton Mowbray for a late lunch. This was nearby and the prices seemed reasonable. The staff were friendly, there was a good selection of food on offer, our choices were delicious and the service was very good. In all, if we are ever in the area again, we would definitely return.

So superb we went again the following evening. Really super little pub. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice selection of Ales, lagers and spirits. The food is great, good selection of dishes to suit all palettes. Great service, really presentable dishes if only we could manage a dessert as they all looked very tempting. Dog friendly which is perfect if you're a dog lover. Will certainly be back whether it's for a drink or food. Maybe not tonight for the third time in a row but soon.
