  “I have dined here numerous times, and have brought different family members with me. These members have included a vegan, and an elderly relative who has some reduced mobility. We have had the Carvery every time, and cannot rate it highly enough! We have attended on various days and times, experiencing both busy and quiet periods, and the staff are always friendly and professional. The quality of food has always remained the same. Always freshly cooked and plentiful! In summary, Hobby Horse Farm remains extremely good value for money, and has never disappointed!”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic visit to the Hobby Horse in Syston, made even better by our waitress, Ellie Hull. From the moment we arrived, Ellie was welcoming, friendly and attentive, making us feel valued throughout our meal. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She checked in regularly without being intrusive, had a lovely positive attitude, and made sure everything was just right. It’s clear she genuinely cares about providing excellent customer service, and it really made a difference to our experience. The food was great, but Ellie’s outstanding service is what we’ll remember most. She’s a real credit to the Hobby Horse, and we hope she’s recognised for the fantastic job she does. We’ll definitely be returning!”

  “We've been going here regularly for years. However the standard of the cooking is a lottery. Last night the PayPal system wouldn't converse with the Greene king app so we paid twice for very overcooked meals. The fish and sausage in my chip shop supper were both overcooked as was the meat in my husband's mixed grill. We won't be back.”

  “Visited The Hobby Horse, part of Greene King, at around 7 o’clock in the evening. The prices were reasonable and it is definitely a good place for families, especially with both indoor and outdoor play areas for children as well as a decent outdoor seating space. The main downside on this visit was the food quality. You could tell some of the food had probably been sitting for a while towards the end of the day and it did not feel particularly fresh, which made parts of the meal a bit unpleasant. Because of that, the experience was mixed overall. That said, I would still go back again but probably earlier in the day, as I imagine the food would be much fresher then. The family friendly setup and reasonable prices do make it a convenient option for parents with children.”

  “We ate here and were helped by a few members of staff who were all really friendly. Clare especially though was very helpful and served us quickly without hesitation. The carvery was lovely with no wait time. The desserts were more than enough portion wise and we even had to get a box to take some home. Overall brilliant experience, reasonably priced and the staff really made it an easy and enjoyable experience. Will definitely be back in the future.”

  “I took my mother for a Saturday carvery which turned out to be very tasty & good value. They was plenty off options as you would expect off a carvery selection., inc roasts, new potatoes, cauliflower cheese, cabbage etc.. The meats we had a choose off was gammon, turkey & beef this Saturday dinnertime. I booked a table which was easy & no problems. I asked for a table not to for from the carvery as my mother would struggling to walk up steps etc with a plate off food which they duly found for us. Speaking off this when they seen my mother with said plate, a polite & friendly staff member offered to help in take my mums plate to her table, even before i could offer myself. The atmosphere was as you would expect for Saturday dinnertime which was a steady flow of customer's. We will vist again.”
