Quinno _ left this review about The Oat Hill
Trying to be upmarket but missing the mark – ‘grey plague’, as described below. Interior decor via TK Maxx and definitely a female guiding hand. Two ales, Bass (NBSS 1.5 – taken back and off) and TTL (2 – old). One big positive was the covered rear garden, at least.

Old Boots left this review about The Oat Hill
A 1930s building in between Harborough and the older now absorbed village of Little Bowden, inside is a modernised and maybe more upmarket dining pub. Opened out to the usual L shape with an L shaped counter, mostly white or pastel shades on the walls with bits of over excited wallpaper and grey plague. The T-Bars are a little different being knobbly shiny things, sadly the beers dispensed are not very different. Two hand pulls lurk unprominently on the bar, Landlord on one, Adnams Ghost Ship on another broken one with a hand written sign to denote it, yes the beer was as good as the pump, flat and tired. The punters are a mix of mid and down market. The restaurant is to the rear on the left and there’s access to a popular heated patio and garden there. Not on my revisit list.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Oat Hill
Detached semi-modern cocktail-bar style pub set back from the road by a car park, with three main seating and dining areas in an overall L-shaped layout. That said, it does offer Landlord and dubious pint of Adnams Lighthouse (£3.40).
