Roebuck, Market Harborough

Brewery bosses have today been given the go-ahead for plans to spend up to £3 million and create 45 jobs. Marston’s are to rebuild the Roebuck after it was destroyed by a fire in September.

My wife and I went in for meal on the 3rd February. Told to sit on a table for 2 up a corner as window seat were only for parties of four and they couldn't afford to change it. We felt like second class customers. I was front of house for a 16th century restaurant for four years and wouldn't have been in business for long treating customers like that. We left and will not set foot in the place again and would recommend everyone else to do the same.

Pedigree, Sneck Lifter and Boondoggle (£3.00) available from two banks of four handpumps. Overall, probably does what it does pretty well, but distinctly anonymous.
