Customer Review Summary
Pizza draws the most mentions, from a Wednesday pizza deal with a soft drink that arrived promptly and filling, to a ham and mushroom pizza called flavorful with good portions. Close behind are the chicken curry, tuna jacket potato, fish and chips with a pint, and a burger with onion rings followed by salted caramel sticky toffee pudding. Reviewers repeatedly call the food affordable, and one praises the pina colada. Staff are described as friendly and hard working, and a few note the real ale choice and the light, airy interior. Table clearing divides opinion. Some say tables are cleared promptly, while another calls uncleared tables with used plates an ongoing problem, blaming too few staff to keep up. One diner on a busy day found seating very limited and a table not yet cleared. One reviewer describes the toilets at around 11am as a disgrace, with cubicles missing toilet paper and broken door locks reportedly raised before, though another found the ground floor loos clean and tidy.

“The staff are great and good was fine but let down by tables not being cleared quickly enough. Nothing worse than seeing tables with used plates, etc uncleared! This is an ongoing problem here. It shouldme made a priority. Not enough staff to clear and clean used tables quickly.”

“My wife and I enjoyed our visit to this Wetherspoons pub on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 18, 2026 after discovering it while exploring Google Maps ahead of our day trip to the town. It being a Wednesday, we took advantage of the Pizza Club, which offered an 11 inch pizza with a soft drink for £7.06 each. Our meal was served promptly and was tasty, well presented and filling. Staff were friendly, polite and professional. We noticed they were proactive in ensuring the popular coffee machine offered the full range of drinks - and they also cleared and cleaned tables promptly. The pub was light and airy inside. The loos were clean and tidy and perhaps unusually for a Wetherspoons pub, they were located in the ground floor. This was our inaugural visit to the pub and we will return next time we’re in Market Harborough. We will also recommend it to others.”

“The breakfast we had was decent just like any other Wetherspoon. The service was fine and the pub itself was ok too. Our visit was at about 11am and the toilets were a disgrace! Clearly not kept clean, most cubicles were lacking in toilet paper and had broken locks on the doors. I heard a grandmother speaking to her granddaughter trying to offer reassurance that she was there guarding the door whilst she used the loo. She was annoyed the lock hadn't been fixed as she knows they've been reported at least twice before.”
