About Hansom Cab
On Brookfield Rd in Hinckley, Hansom Cab is a pub serving British pub food alongside a pool table and sports on TV. A recent refurbishment took down some walls near the bar, opening up that part of the room. Orders are placed through an app at the table, and the recurring menu runs from the Philly steak toastie and sweet potato fries to mini Bailey's profiteroles and a "mix up" sharing plate with vegan and vegetarian options. A breakfast menu adds waffles with ice cream and a large breakfast, with a refillable coffee machine for unlimited hot drinks. Tables can be booked online in advance. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. Anyone driving needs to enter their car registration into a pad at the bar to avoid a parking fine.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to a recent refurbishment, describing the space as sleek, modern, and spotless, with breakfast items like the large breakfast and waffles with ice cream drawing repeat praise, and the Philly steak toastie with sweet potato fries also singled out, though one reviewer found the steak slightly overcooked and the cheese lacking bite. Several mention a host by role only welcoming them warmly and chatting easily, and diners note friendly, attentive staff, gluten free options handled well, and reasonable prices, with one Mother's Day visit called spotless and quick. One reviewer's dry mix up steak needed sauce. A more serious complaint describes a very slow, understaffed visit with long waits for plate clearance and missing items, including a roast without gravy and an entire meal that never arrived, leaving that reviewer unwilling to return. Another mentions a parking fine risk unless registration is entered at the bar. Repeat visitors highlight the refillable ground coffee and special food deals as regular draws.

“Dean and the team are always welcoming. The environment is aways clean, i have never had a reason to complain. There are always special deals on food with great prices but the refillable ground coffee is one of my favourites. I highly recommend a visit especially after the newly refurbishment.”

“Pub decor externally and internally is fine. Looks good from the outside. Food is basic. Nothing to write home about though. Ok if dining on budget or with kids etc. Service and waiting times for table clearance and next course was extremely slow and irritating. A very busy venue with only 3 women working it seemed. They were incredibly slow in everything they did. Seemed to lack any enthusiasm or care. Made the entire experience way longer than it should have taken. For each course we had to ask them to come and collect the plates and remind them we are waiting. On top of that, we had a few things missing from the order (only 1 person getting gravy on a roast for example. person missing a dinner entirely. Can't say I would ever return.”
