Olivia's at the Outwoods

Woodhouse Ln, Woodhouse Eaves, Loughborough LE11 3YG, UK

Really nice cafe. Tasty (& some massive!!) pastries on offer, decent coffee. It's not cheap but it is yummy and I love how dog friendly they are. A great place to visit if you're walking in the Outwoods or Beacon Hill.

Can't fault it at all. Coffee is strong and served at right temperature. Cakes are to die for and you probably would if you had too many of the delicious Cruffins (muffin/croissant). Go in when working on site for some reasonably priced refreshment and to meet all the lovely dogs. Friendly staff always attentive, free drinking water, plenty of seating inside and out and quite clean to say its in the woods and full of walkers, dogs and dirty boots. Great place to relax after a walk around the Outwoods. Last visit included a great breakfast of sourdough, scrambled egg and lime pickle avacado😋

Try it, it’s good! After a couple of visits, this one of my favourites, located in the beautiful Outwoods, this place is very popular with walkers (with or without dogs), complete with prompt service, delicious food, good cakes. The place welcomes you with the bar on entry, the coffee is fresh, the food is tasty, friendly staff are on point, keeping the place clean and moving smoothly. This is a dog friendly cafe, so you can bring them inside. The floors are hardy so muddy boots are allowed in bad weather. Free self service water is available when required. For kids, there’s a small park just outside, and in summer the outdoor seating will keep you in the scenery. A lot of cafes could learn from this place.

Had a Fantastic little walk round the outwoods today. Arrived at 9am, carpark was quite but busy when we left. We enjoyed a coffee and cake at Olivia's. Would highly recommend. Good friendly staff, efficient and reasonably priced. The cafe is also dog friendly

Loved the food, perfect amount of spice and super delicious. I would definitely recommend khazana for Indian cuisine in Loughborough/leicester. The service was 10/10!

Excellent service and delicious food. The owner of this restaurant used to own the fantastic Salims next door. The food is still fresh and tasty. The food was delivered hot and we had to wait just the correct length of time for it. The personnel showed a great deal of compassion, if not a bit too much at times. The interior design was invigorating. I suggest coming to this place for a flavorful Indian dinner.

Really very impressed with Khazana. The food was absolutely superb; excellent flavours and just the right amount of spice. The Ghost was delicious and the lamb was so tender while the chilli paneer was very tasty. Service was impeccable and very friendly indeed. The restaurant was full on a Wednesday night which suggests how good this place is, which other restaurants around were almost empty. Certainly will be returning.

Delicious. This is a beautifully decorated and welcoming restaurant. Service was first rate and the food was delicious. One of our party had an aversion to a specific ingredient and the staff were very accommodating. Sadly I was so busy eating I forgot to take photos of the food! I look forward to being back in the UK so I can return!

I booked here for my 21st birthday meal and the whole team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire night. With our booking of 18-22 people as well as the staff handling the reminder of the restaurant we were never left without or asking twice. The food was incredible and everyone was happy, it truly made my birthday stress free and i would highly recommend booking a table with this restaurant if you haven’t already . Thank you everyone again who worked tonight.

We recently went for a family meal and the food was sooooo delicious and the portions were a good size for the price. The atmosphere was lovely and the owner was very chatty and friendly. He helped us out with recommendations and made the whole experience an even better one. We would all definitely recommend and will be returning very soon. This will definitely become our go to restaurant in Loughborough

Lovely restaurant will definitely be going again. The staff and owner were lovely making sure we got the best service. The food was fresh and amazing and made me feel like I was in Italy having dinner. I have already recommended this restaurant to my friends and family. The food portions were definitely worth the price. I absolutely loved it!

I've been living in the town centre since 2017 but I haven't been to dine here at Caravelli Restaurant which is just round the corner. My mate from London decided to visit Loughborough and he's staying overnight with me so I thought this would be my opportunity to finally have dinner at Caravelli. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. I enjoyed their pasta PAPPARDELLE CON SALSICCIA. It was very tasty. I also like the old fashioned interior design of their restaurant. The waiters were very friendly and attentive to their customers. Overall the food was tasty and delicious. I definitely go back here again with other mates.

Such a lovely restaurant and hotel. We stayed the night here in a gorgeous spacious room which was very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant for dinner ordering garlic mushrooms and antipasti as starters and seafood pasta and lasagna for our mains. Food was delicious but the garlic mushrooms were exceptional Service was lovely. We had breakfast included with our room which was served in the restaurant. It was a buffet including cereal, fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurt selection, toast with Jan's & marmalade plus coffee and tea. All was very fresh and you could eat as much as you want Would recommend both the hotel & restaurant

Friday night dinner at the Everest Lounge while visiting Loughborough. Really enjoyed the service and food. Very extensive menu and good portion sizes. Pictured is Chicken Lababdar and Lamb Pardesi, coconut and mango rice with Mumbai aloo. Would recommend for an evening meal.

Recently are here with friends. While we had a little difficulty ordering our food when it arrived it was delicious. There’s plenty of options so should be enough for everyone. The mains don’t come with rice which has to be ordered separately which bumped up the final bill a bit. Each of us had a starter, main and drink and it was over £40 each so on the dearer side for Loughborough. We would consider eating here again though.

We enjoyed it. Unlike other Indian restaurants, they serve curry in a bowl you eat from rather than a small dish plus main plate. Portions were good. Nepalese cuisine but they also do the usual Indian curries.

Absolute hidden gem! It’s so humble on the outside, but the food and the flavours are so good! It was so hard to decide what to get, because there’s so many delicious options. We started with the Tom Yum (a personal fav that was the most flavourful I’ve ever had, not too spicy and with juicy chicken) and fried prawns. Noodles soups for main, both with generous portions, wonderful broth once again and packed full of toppings. The pink milk drink was delightful too, sweet and moreish - just wish we’d noticed the mango sticky rice on the specials board for dessert, what a treat that would’ve been and no doubt as delicious as the rest. The service was smiley and very kind, quick and charming. Very lovely indeed! Will very much be back!

Felt like I was back in Thailand. Everything was so good, freshly cooked, amazing quality. So so yummy. I started to lose faith in Loughborough having had a few disappointing meals out, but wows did this not disappoint. Everything was so tasty! It was such a struggle to choose from the menu as they had so many lovely options. I can’t wait to go back. The portions were great, the food was great. If you want Thai food, go here, don’t even consider somewhere else unless you’re planning a trip to Thailand. We had satay chicken, prawn cakes, ho fun noodle with seafood and chilli fish with rice. I’m getting hungry writing this, is it too soon to go back? Never too soon with this place.

The food here was fantastic. The portion sizes were so generous and everything was full of flavour. The vegetable spring rolls and prawn tempuras were perfectly crisp and light. The ingredients were clearly fresh and well prepared, we thoroughly enjoyed both starters. For the main course we selected pad Thai and red curry, both were delicious and despite the mammoth portions we couldn’t help but to clear our plates! The Pad Thai came with a small pot of spices which really elevated the dish, it brought a warming heat and welcomed further layers of flavour. Our only complaint would be the service, we were poorly attended to. After some minutes of sitting at our empty table I had to collect our own menus and request that our order be taken. Furthermore, our starter dishes were not cleared until the main courses were being served. The servers never once checked on us during the meal which was rather disappointing. Overall, we would certainly come here again. There was no denying the food was gorgeous, hopefully next time the service will live up to the quality of the dishes.

I think I've just had the best home made steak pie in my life! packed with meat, amazing pastry and piping hot. My friends Fish and chips also amazing. I'm not one for taking photos of my dinner plate. I'd rather just get on and eat it. But I had to shout out about this one. Amazing Desserts too. Proper food 😋

The Three Nuns in Loughborough is a charming and welcoming pub that offers a traditional British pub experience with a modern twist. Located just outside the town center, it has a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for a casual meal, drinks with friends, or a relaxed evening out. The food menu is varied, featuring classic pub dishes such as fish and chips, burgers, and Sunday roasts, alongside more contemporary options like salads and vegan-friendly meals. The portions are generous, and the food is well-prepared, though not overly complicated. Their drinks menu is extensive, offering a good range of beers, ales, wines, and spirits, catering to different tastes. One of the highlights of The Three Nuns is its friendly and attentive staff, who go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. The pub often has themed nights, live music, and quiz events, which adds to the lively, community feel. The outdoor seating area is also a nice touch, especially in warmer months, providing a pleasant spot to relax. While not a high-end dining experience, The Three Nuns offers good value for money and is a reliable spot for casual dining and socializing in Loughborough.

Saturday love music is always brilliant however it gets very busy and rightfully so. Staff are very friendly. Beer is reasonably priced for today's market yet because its so easy to strike a conversation with such a social enviroment it's easy to have a few more than you expected to.

A nice place for a good meal in what I often call the artistic (prettier) part of the town. Marple & 5 spice duck breast was simply delicious with a bouquet of aromatic spices. Lots of space inside, pleasing interior decorations and, most importantly, good service.

We came for an evening meal with our family of 6, and it was absolutely perfect. We shared tapas for starters and each dish was packed full of flavour and perfectly cooked.

Excellent service by Prem, as always. My dad has Alzheimer's and Prem treats him with respect and dignity each time. Today, he went above and beyond by giving dad an impromptu hygienist treatment, to save us further appointments. Prem always goes the extra mile. Thank you. The reception team are fab too.

My 7 year old daughter had a scooter accident yesterday and caused some damage to her new front tooth, we saw Neil today ( first time as usual dentist on annual leave) and I was blown away at how amazing Neil was with both of us ( very anxious mum) I can not thank him enough, such an amazing dentist and character. Please pass this messge on to him. Much appreciated.

I recently had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Prem and his assistant Abi. After a difficult experience with a dentist years ago, I was extremely anxious about the procedure. However, from the moment I walked in, Prem and Abi made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Prem took the time to explain the process and address all my concerns, which really eased my anxiety. Throughout the extraction, he was gentle and attentive, ensuring I was okay every step of the way. Abi was equally supportive, providing reassurance and keeping me informed. Thanks to their compassionate care, what I anticipated to be a stressful experience turned out to be much easier than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Prem and his team to anyone looking for a dentist who truly prioritizes patient comfort and care. Thank you, Prem and Abi!

Very efficient and superb staff; in and out in no time; very friendly receptionist and the dentist and hygienist were a very amicable duo, who made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Great to see lots of kids books and drawing equipment within the waiting room, which was generously stocked.

Food is always great here. And the staff is quite friendly and helpful too! We had the poached eggs with creamy hollandaise sauce on a muffin, with spinach and mushrooms and it was a great flavor. The eggs were poached nicely as well However, the star of the show was the bang bang cauliflower noodles with veggies. The flavors were amazing and melted in your mouth, noodles were cooked to a nice texture and the veggies were a perfect pairing for this dish. My compliments to the chef

Found easily in Loughborough town centre, I immediately loved the atmosphere of the place. Seated quickly and found we could order food at the bar or online via QR code. The food came out quickly, was substantial and also very tasty - so much so that we went back the next morning and again, wasn't disappointed.

Really good range of Korean food, catering for children as well, everything was very fresh and tasty. Prices are good and the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. Definitely recommend going, especially if you like spicy food (you can have it without it being hot as well), the pancake desert is amazing.

What an amazing and unique little spot! Will definitely be coming back, multiple times, I can see it already! It’s perfect for lunch, with a variety of interesting flavours in the form of bowls, baos and wraps. They are all for healthy eating, but don’t sacrifice any flavour. The quencher was beyond gorgeous, with the little garnishes being a nice and welcomed touch. All the food so very filling and exciting, well worth the price (look out for all the cheeky deals they have too!) The staff went above and beyond as well, informing us of deals, having a little chat about the place, and offering to bring the food out as it was ready. All in all, fabulous experience, and will become one of the top spots in Loughborough!
