  “The Badgers Sett is a lovely place to be good choice of drinks and excellent coffee. We had a delicious meal slow cooked beef, mash with vegetables and berry crumble with custard for dessert good wholesome food. Finished off with a liquor coffee. Our waitress Billie was friendly and efficient and made us feel looked after.”

  “We stopped here for some breakfast halfway round a 12k walk, we arrived here just as they opened it was 10:00am on a Sunday morning! The staff are friendly and the food was cooked to a good standard 👍”

  “Went here yesterday for a Sunday lunch. Its such a nice location and setting. Dog friendly. We sat outside and it was very pleasant. Had the roast turkey meal. Very tasty. All very nice but they are so stingy with the meat element. Hardly any at all really. For £20.95 I would expect a bit more! Otherwise very good.”

  “After getting stuck in a torrential downpour, we were greeted by the manager and welcomed in and shown to a seat. We ordered the sticky sharing platter, garlic prawns, mac and cheese, chips, and rocket and tenderstem salad. Overall we enjoyed our meal but some aspects of the food didn’t meet the same mark as others. On the platter the chorizo, Korean chicken skewers and peppers were all 10/10. The honey chicken was missing more chicken, the ribs were missing rib meat (still really tasty). The rest of the meal, the prawns and salad we would highly recommend but the mac and cheese was the smallest portion we have ever seen, especially for the price.”

  “The place looks really nice and is genuinely pleasant in the gardens on a warm night. Unfortunately, food was below average, the service was slow and disorderly (dishes didn’t come out together, and one dish was stone cold). The prices do not represent good value - much better options around the area. I wouldn’t come back.”

  “Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The food was not served hot, and the service was very slow throughout our visit. The prices were far too high for the quality and portion sizes provided. In particular, the salad was overpriced and did not meet the standard I would expect for the price charged. Even the beer was more expensive than what I would typically pay in London, which was surprising. That said, the pub is located in a lovely area and has a pleasant atmosphere, which was the highlight of the visit. Overall, while the location and ambience were enjoyable, the slow service, lukewarm food, and excessive pricing meant the experience did not offer good value for money.”

  “The service I did put down to it suddenly tiring out to be a super busy day with the sun coming out the way it did. It just appeared you looked round and wow the amount of people that turned up. There were no seats in the garden then everyone suddenly decided they wanted to eat. So although I gave the service a 4 that’s really to do with everyone running here there and everywhere. The food was nice. But it maybe what I had that was a little bit not quite cooked to how I personally liked. It was nice don’t get me wrong. Although they are trying to go more up market with the menus which was actually nice to see. I was a bit disappointed that every menus seems to be dragged down to something not the special not once a see burgers on a menus. In my opinion you can’t have posh up market food then it puts burgers on. It contradicts the ambience of a place. And turns it into a common restaurant. The two just do not mix. Keep it cheap and cheerful or definitely keep it upmarket dining.”

  “Visited NYD as a treat after we had a terrible Xmas day meal elsewhere Was not disappointed! Lovely welcome on arrival, seated quickly and politely Our waitress (I think Anna or maybe Alice, sorry!) was very polite and informative and it was great to see a smile! Starters - Crab Cake and Pate, both superb, plenty of taste, nice presentation, served quickly but not too quickly! Mains - Fillet steak and Fillet of Salmon, both cooked to perfection, nice portion size (broccoli on the salmon best I’ve had in ages), arrived with just enough time between ending the starters, we had a check back from the waitress and were offered more drinks. Seems basic but so many places don’t do this anymore! Desserts - Brownie and Sticky Toffee Pudding - both excellent, we also had coffee which was excellent The service was fantastic, very sorry I didn’t double check the name of our waitress but she was genuinely a credit to the place. I have not been to Badgers Sett in many years and I’m glad we chose to come again today. You will see us again! Thank you ☺️”

  “We had a wonderful bank holiday lunch at The Badgers Set. The setting was beautiful and relaxing—just what we needed for a peaceful afternoon. The food was tasty, hearty, and clearly made with care. What really made our visit stand out was the service. All the staff were wonderful. Chloe, our waitress, was an absolute gem! She was warm, funny, and full of personality—an absolute character in the best possible way. She made us feel so welcome and really added to the lovely atmosphere. All in all, a perfect spot for a relaxed, enjoyable meal. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

  “Myself and my husband visited on Thursday 25th for lunch as we had a very rare day off together so thought we would have a nice walk at bradgate park and then for lunch. We had a lovely day until the meal and service at the badgers sett put a dampener on it. We order from the set menu- my husband ordered calamari and myself pate with ciabatta. For main I ordered the chicken and bacon salad with ciabatta and myself husband the lasagne with ciabatta. We also ordered a side of chips. Our starters arrived after 40 mins, calamari- about 7 tiny pieces which were under cooked. My pate arrived with a slice of bread! I sent it back. The lady offered me something else- o ordered calamari- mine was burnt and crispy. I asked the waitress what our mains would come with in replacement for the ciabatta. She said we could have extra chips which we agreed with. We then waited a further 40 mins for our mains. The mains came with no extra chips that we had paid for, again a slice of bread with my salad plastered in pesto! My husband did say his lasagne was nice. We asked to speak to the manager. The waitress told us that he would not come out as he was cooking. I said we would wait and she advised us ‘customers need to have respect for staff members and listen’! I advised her all I asked was to speak to a manager about the more service and meal we had received. Lots of people were in on that day and lots of people seemed unhappy so we weren’t the only ones. Eventually the manager did come out and refund us for the chips (that we didn’t get) and also for 1 starter. This is the least that could have happened. We left as needed to get the kids from school. We only live in Anstey and we live close enough for the badgers sett to be ourbut we would not rush back in a hurry.”
