I had to run for my train so they don’t look the best but they tasted amazing and the blue cheese dip was so delicious. I got them with Frank’s sauce which tasted like buffalo sauce. The staff was really friendly as well. I will definitely go again one day

Been going to the Swan for decades now, since I was a kid. The food has always been good there. With the arrival of Merv, it has gone from 'Good Pub Food', to straight up 'Good Food'! We had Burgers, ribs and a side of fries. Faultless. The only downside is that we just wanted more. Next time we will definitely go for the 'All you can eat ribs'. Would recommend this to anyone.

Ordered from this place a few times now and each time I wish I ordered a bit more. The burger was better than any of the "burger places " in town and the ribs, wings and hotdogs all match. Don't be put off looking for cheaper options because the quality is there at Mervs. Great food if you're looking for some Americana. Perfect for summer time in the garden. 👌

“Top food in Loughborough! Food was faultless. The Rucola pizza was lovely and can’t wait to try more from here! Small bites were great too, came with dips and full of flavour. Reasonably priced, and lovely staff. Quite a small restaurant so can get crowded however a lovely atmosphere when quiet.”

“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.”

“This is a Korean restaurant that is far more delicious than expected! Generally, the quality of Korean restaurants you eat in the UK is average. The taste is roughly the same But this restaurant, which is all run by Koreans, gave me a different experience. First of all, the decoration and environment of the restaurant make you feel that it is a high-end restaurant. The store staff will also play popular Korean music If you love Korean music, you will definitely enjoy it The food portion is quite sufficient! The beef rice doesn't look like it's made from ingredients bought at a supermarket. It feels like it was made with care The seafood soup is also very delicious It’s layered and incredibly spicy! It’s rare to find really spicy food in the UK Proves that the restaurant is serious about retaining the characteristics of Korean cuisine In addition, the price/performance ratio is also very high! When checking out, I found out that the entire order was 30% off! It turns out that except for BBQ, you can get 7 pieces now. We will definitely come back! (Next time I’ll try their pork belly BBQ)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 enjoyed a very pleasant meal here. The staff were friendly and the restaurant felt intimate and cosy in its decor. We all very much enjoyed our meals, the pasta was creamy and warming and the pizza had a crispy crust and was topped generously with peppers and goats cheese. I felt that the portion size for my pasta was a little small (although perhaps I’m just greedy as my friends were perfectly satisfied with theirs), the pizza was good however, less cheese would have been preferred as it was very thick and a little over-powering.”

“Really loved the food here, and the staff were really polite and helpful. I got the haddock chowder as a starter, and then the back bacon with mash and fried egg as a main. The bacon was absolutely insane and I'd never had bacon as good as that. Got some pictures of the food attached - it's great in there and you don't need to be a student or member of the faculty to visit.”
