It's very much of a traditional wood finish bar decor, but that's all part of its charm. There's a bar area and restaurant area although you can sit anywhere if you want to eat. The menu ranges from classic pub dishes to slightly higher class gastro pub type stuff but it's all well cooked and enjoyable and reasonably priced. The stuff on the Specials board is usually a bit more expensive, but of course nicer ingredients. They have an extensive wine list on offer and some decent lagers. My only complaint is their lack of guest real ale - they just go in for the 'Speckled Hens' of the world.

This is the first time that I've felt sufficiently motivated to share my opinions and write a restaurant review, so here goes! Service at The Yews was first class and their kitchens managed to produce a good variety of hot, tasty dishes, on time and without any fuss for 28 family members, in spite of some last minute menu changes! My sirloin steak was tasty & cooked to perfection; other family members praised the Steak & Bombardier pie and the hand battered fish. The only mild disappointment was the Tuna lime & corriander fishcake, but this was an exception and overall the standard and range of the menu was very high. I have eaten at The Yews previously and this visit certainly lived up to and exceeded my expectations.

I would definitely recommend it, the only problem is its off road location is not convinient if you don't have a car!

The Old Barn Inn was a warm welcome for this weary traveler who had had a nasty encounter with…read morenature only a few minutes before. I needed a place to escape the rainy elements, sit down, catch my breath and have a small meal. The Old Barn Inn was right there, situated in the small village of Glooston, northeast of Leicester. I was expecting what has been typical, inexpensive, no-thought-put-into-the-meal pub food. But much to my delight, this place far exceeded that expectation, and allowed me to escape for an hour. The young men who own and run this pub, have taken great care into making sure each meal is as fresh, organic and locally-grown as possible. They bake all their own bread daily, the flour comes from a local farm. Also, they make their desserts daily as well. I ordered the Homemade Ciabatta with Brie and Sauteed Mushrooms, which is served with a healthy leafy salad, lightly sprinkled with vinaigrette, and skinny chips, along with a pot of English Breakfast tea. The ciabatta bread had come out of the oven an hour before, and the entire presentation was artfully done. Though I didn't have any dessert, if it's as well made as the ciabatta, it will be incredible. And I have a strong feeling it will not disappoint those who find themselves at The Old Barn Inn, which is now just the pub. The owners live upstairs in the inn quarters. They offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes. Dining here is well worth the journey.

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.
