We were told about this Pub and heard good things and it did not disappoint the food was great. The atmosphere was nice. Service was good really enjoyed the variety of starters and the selection of drinks on offer. Highly recommend this place will definitely visit again. Really enjoyed the food And the staff were great with the kids providing colouring books and pencils.

A few great vegan options - Corn Riblets - Lentil & Squash wellington pie - House Salad - Onion rings & Chips - Sorbet

Lovely gastropub with modern and luxurious decor. Staff are friendly and service attentive. Menu is varied with a wide choice. The same is true of the drinks menu. We visited around 1:45pm for lunch and it was still very busy with new tables arriving. Most possibly because it is graduation day at Loughborough university. Whilst it was busy, it had a nice vibe and good atmosphere. Our food was lovely and plentiful. All our dishes tasted nice. I have been told the milkshakes are really nice and is a must try. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful time here. I started off with fish and chips which was absolutely amazing. Could clearly tell it was fresh and the batter was crispy but not oily. The chips were also fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Best fish and chips I have had in a long time! I then had the apple and cinnamon crumble which was so nice. The custard that came with it as well was lovely and warm and was amazing with the crumble. Was such a warm and cosy meal. The service is top notch too! Staff are lovely and food comes out fairly quick. Would definitely come back here again!

Absolutely gorgeous pub,one of my favourites. Always looks so cosy and welcoming. Great atmosphere,waiters were lovely,food was very delicious. And manager,on the night ( lovely girl with blond hair) is absolute ⭐ star . Can't wait to visit again .

Came here to do some work on the back room ceiling aswell as other areas across the pub. Some fantastic staff work here... I didn't get all their names. But I'd like to send praise to Emma, Amanda and all of the ladies working in the restaurant and to the chefs who were extremely helpful during my time on site yesterday. The food coming from the kitchen looked stunning and also working in the back of house I could see the chefs took a real pride in the food they were preparing and sending out to happy customer. The old bulls head is a traditional country Pub / Diner very tastefully decorated with a roaring real log fire. Photos show its lovely and clean, it's very well presented and the tables are set to add a little elegance to your dining experience. A big thanks for looking after us during our visit guys... 🙂 (D)

Lovely dining experience, Will was attentive but not invasive and always made sure we had everything we needed. Chef Tims lamb and venison were delicious as were the espresso martinis! Will definitely be back :)

Visited this place twice from Leicester and we choose this branch over Leicester as the customer service is 10/10.. cannot fault them at all .. each time the staff was very helpful and explained everything about the food .. And the gentleman Tharinder made us feel very welcome .. The food is made with passion and absolutely gorgeous Thankyou ❤️

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.

This is the best food with the most excellent helpful friendly service in the whole of Loughborough. We really look forward to food from the delicious grounded kitchen. Thank you to all the lovely staff- when I win the lottery will you please work with me, I'll pay at least triple 🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆

Celebrated my birthday 🎈🎂 on 30th December with my family! My favourite Lamb Kozy never disappointed me! My daughters were happy as well with the meal and quiet atmosphere where you can hear each other talking 😃It is and it will always be my favourite place to eat in Loughborough! Simple, quiet, tasty for a very good price!

Very decent food for a very decent price, great service and fantastic atmosphere!

The best place to eat in Loughborough! The food and staff were absolutely amazing!

We go regularly and always have a great meal with good service. Highly recommend.

Had a great meal - everything was very tasty and very delicious. We changed somethings around with our order and were pretty annoying customers to be honest haha, but they looked after us, got everything spot on and did it all with a smile, major props! The food was tasty, full of umami and exactly what you want from a Chinese restaurant, definitely elevated compared to a typical take-away, but you do pay a little premium for it. The chicken satay was the highlight, with prawn toast and ramen also being good, and one of the better beef noodle dishes we’ve tried. The atmosphere was a little quiet, but the music made up for it and we had a lovely afternoon! This is definitely one of the better places to get food in Loughborough, and 100% the best Chinese I’ve had thus far - thanks guys!

I have been here for two times now, and I can say, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever tried. Food is really tasty and delicious, atmosphere is great, service is fast and the prices are absolutely fantastic comparing to other businesses around. I travel from Nottingham just to eat here, so that says a lot. Keep it up!

Fantastic food, quick service, seated in a booth which was clean and quiet. Served by Laura, who was very polite and professional. We will be visiting again soon

Warm welcome from the minute we walked in. Outdoor seating was also lovely. We got seen to within 5 minutes. Food was 10/10, portions were spot on! Price wise, can't complain. Spacious car park. Will definitely be visiting again!!

After craving a mixed grill the harvester didn’t disappoint ! Laura who looked after us was polite and professional! Food was served within a reasonable time and the salad bar was fresh ! Would happily return :) !

Becks is a great host and helped with all our needs! I’m sure she could handle any question asked of her, will happily come back if I get served by her again! Top place now after it’s had a refurbishment inside!! Highly recommend the Wing N Wave with large chips and Beef Dripping Gravy!!!

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.

We had my daughter's birthday party in the decked outdoor area, that was roped off just for us and we had the most fantastic time! Tania, Sophie and all the staff couldn't do enough for us before hand and on the day! Pizzas were amazing and everyone commented on how nice they were. The atmosphere was great, made even better later by the DJ that was on. Couldn't recommend enough...great staff, great food, great selection of drinks what more do you need!

I didn't have food so I didn't give it a star. The atmosphere is really relaxed, chilled and spacious.. I had 5 cocktails made by tania and they were absolutely beltin😀

Great town pub a vast selection of beers and spirits Wines and cocktails. Very good service. very nice food. The menu is a bit limited , but the chicken wings are particularly nice.

I had my 40th birthday party at The Jam Garden and Tania and the team pulled out all the stops! Everyone was so friendly, the drinks selection was great and the pizzas catered for all dietary requirements. We were checked on a few times to make sure everything was going well and the area outside sectioned off for about 50 of us was perfect! Would definitely recommend this spot for parties of any size and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks so much!

The staff were all welcoming and a shout-out to the chefs and Gareth at the bar for being so brilliant that evening. the food came out fresh off the grill and nothing was cold. Staff were attentive and friendly. There is a nice selection of on tap drinks and a selection of different meals to choose from. If your looking for somewhere to have a nice meal at that's not too expensive I recommend Maxwell's highly :)

A group of 10 of us booked a table for Boxing day get together. Everyone's food was good apart from the Nachos which came out cold, but this was quickly put right. We were seated in one of the booth areas and some background music would have been good
