Popped in to have a drink, and had a great time.
Staff were lovely and really helpful, drinks were perfect (I had a non-alcoholic beer as I was driving and my wife had a lovely merlot) and the decor was cool.
Cracking atmosphere and will definitely be back for the Sunday lunch and live music.
Lovely little place which has rooms you just keep finding! The gin choices are fantastic too. Love the feel of the place. Definitely will return ♥️
Lovely little find! I booked myself and two friends in for lunch, was disappointed that there was no salad but the roast chicken was very tasty and the Yorkshire pudding was huge! The atmosphere is lovely could do with the music turning down a notch.
Popped in on a Sunday without booking after a day of travel. Quickly given a table by a very friendly lady. Food arrived in good time. Pork and beef were very tasty. Yorkshire puddings were great. Couldn’t fault food or service.
Visited the Apiary for dinner with a friend, loved the atmosphere here, lots of small interconnected rooms that felt both intimate and cozy. All the food tasted freshly made and absolutely delicious - we both had burgers and they were stunning! (also recommend the waffles!)
Really loved the drinks menu here - we weren't drinking so it was great (and unusual) to have a real selection of tea, coffee, Chi drinks and other non alcoholic drinks to chose from. The teas were fantastic, we actually had 6 different flavors between us and they were all delicious - personally recommend the Blue Chai!
Great service, nice atmosphere and good prices.
Now that there is a fridge of canned craft beer, this pub has the best selection of craft beer, ipas & sours in Castle Donington. The venue often has live music and the food is really good, both in the evening and earlier in the day.
There are seats outside on the High Street and a secret garden area round the back.
Stopped here for a drink one afternoon and we were incredibly impressed. What a lovely place, plenty of choice and wonderful staff. We are going to come back to try the food but it does look good.
Can't fault this place. The staff were welcoming and delightful. The Sunday roast was cooked to perfection. Veg wasn't overdone, lovely buttery mash, meat was great quality, the gravy was very very tasty. They have a chef who cares about food. Thank you!!
Delightful, quirky atmospheric cafe/bar. Sinatra and other swing music playing in the background. Dark, moody interior with floral covered chairs. Very baroque. Fantastic.
Nice enough food and lovely staff but a little slow on service, despite it not being that busy, after sitting for 10mins or so after plates cleared no one asked would we like the pudding it lost a sale as we were going to order but gave up
Great food and service!
Nice selection of beverages
Excellent decor/setting (cozy and old yet fresh and unique)
Reasonably priced for the experience.
Definitely worth a visit!
(my sister goes regularly lol)
Great evening with fantastic music. Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere.
Quick service and reasonable prices.
Quirky decor which I loved.
Didn't have a meal but hear the food is great.
Highly recommend
We needed a stop off for food when heading north, and didn’t want motorway services - The Apiary fitted our needs. Just 10 minutes off the M1, friendly welcome and super food. Lovely interior, french style meets English tea shop.
Went in for Mother's Day lunch. Very popular on a normal Sunday and more so today. Food was very good (we wouldn't keep going back if it wasn't...!!), and the staff were their usual polite and efficient selves.
Good lunch recommended and we will be back again without hesitation.
Absolutely love this place!! A proper little gem of a find! The staff were lovely as were the locals.....Will be visiting again!!
