The Hardwick Inn

Not visited and ages and we had a lovely experience.
We was in the dog area and the staff kept checking we was okay and if there is anything we need.
Lovely food and atmosphere, will be visiting again. Thanks.

Arrived around 6pm on a Friday night it was quiet , but by the time we left it was almost full. Out of the way unless you've visited the hall. This is a great destination pub/ restaurant, welcomed as we walked in , no wait for a table (as I say it was quiet when we arrived) . A great variety on the menu and some specials too. I chose the steak and mushroom pie my friend the ploughman's, and was not disappointed. Both arrived quickly ,it was a good portion size and nice and hot. Service through out was excellent and "down to earth" a nice touch.
Highly recommended we will be back soon 🙂

We booked a table of two and we’re both vegetarian. We had so many appealing option we ordered a few different meals to try out. And i must say the servings were such a good traditional country pub portion. Each and every dish was so flavorful and came with so many complimenting tastes that just made every dish melt in your mouth.
Very beautiful looking place very traditional beautiful theme, such a wonderful place to go for a meal and drink.
I 10/10 loved every single dish share between the two of us aswell as the variety in drinks i could choose between.

For a weekday lunchtime the place was extremely busy. Food choice was excellent and portions were good. Many items were available in two portion sizes. I had a small fish and chips which was more than enough for me. Desserts were also well proportioned, hot and delicious.

We have been to eat here three times recently and can't rate it high enough. This is a proper well run English pub with hearty proper very very good food. The service is fab and everything is consistently high standard. Super attentive staff and fabulous food choices. Thank you to the whole team it is a marvellous dining experience and is in a lovely location. See you again very soon . Great facility of an outside bar and ice cream shop all sensibly priced.

Great service and good food.

The landlord platter is well stacked but you could tell that each item was straight out of the fridge, just a little too cold and pastry not crisp.

Overall though it was a nice experience and would certainly go back.

We turn up without a reservation for 4 adults and 3 children. Not only were we welcome they manage to place us in our own room so we could relax.
We ordered 3 ploughman platters and 2 bangers and mash. Tea and 3 cokes
Excellent value .
The food was excellent and more than enough .
Very friendly staff .
We will definitely be visiting again ,

Fabulous food with generous portions.

Go in hungry as the portions are enough to ensure being stretchered out,

The place is a gem without doubt as the quality and emphasis on local suppliers lends itself to an excellent menu.
It still retains its 16th century sense of history which gives a great atmosphere. I can only imagine what a cosy space this would be in winter.
The staff are welcoming and friendly.
A definite winner.

We have been coming here for over 40 years. The beer is always first class. The food brilliant. And staff always pleasant and accommodating. The menu has been reduced slightly of late, I used to enjoy, on occasion, the Lincolnshire sausage, but alas that was taken off. All the food is locally sourced. You can book a table now, which is good. The interior of the Hardwick has not been modernized at all, well, nothing that takes away the atmosphere of an old country coaching Inn anyway. There is lots of space and plenty tables outside to eat, It's nice to sit outside in the beer garden at the rear, with a nice a nice view of the owners well kept garden. Since the pandemic, there is less parking outside the Inn you have to park about 140 meters away down the lane, the car park itself is huge. There is a turning circle out side the pub to drop off anyone who cannot walk such a distance. Also since the pandemic they have utilized one of the barns in the front of the pub to purchase your drinks etc.
Visiting the Hardwick Inn after a tour around Hardwick Hall would be a great way to finish your day.

Lovely pub to visit! The food is delicious! Great outdoor seating areas on nice days. All staff have always been very helpful and friendly. Beautiful surroundings walks to go on also. Would certainly recommend visiting here! 😁👍

Great carvery...need to book...they were turning people away! Friendly helpful staff. Sat by real fire

Fantastic food and drink. Rang and was able to book a table for 12pm. Very friendly staff on phone and also in the pub. Very attentive and friendly. Food and beer were excellent. Had a carvery which was exceptionally filling and very tasty. The meet was cooked really well. The Inn has a car park a short walk from entrance, indoor and outdoor seating. Clean toilets. Lovely real warm fire and great atmosphere inside. Returned for drinks outside. Great pint.

Debbie was brilliant today looking out for us making sure we got a table and the beef sandwich with gravy roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding was divine and less than £10

Went again today 1/10/2023 and disappointed they have changed this it's no longer a soft barm. Also no potatoes or Yorkshire pudding

Gorgeous historic inn with great outside areas as well as different indoor dining experiences. Really friendly and helpful staff, and the food was superb. Great range for all appetites and desires. Our party chose diverse variety -fish and chips,
mixed grill, steak and ploughmans. Everyone enjoyed their meal and commented on the quality.
Dogs and kids welcome and it's set in such stunning surroundings.

What a great place, great food , great staff all wrapped up in a fantastic old building on the National Trust site of Harwick Hall.
Be careful what you order as the portions are huge, they do have smaller portions which I will have next time.
We sat outside in the sun every National Trust site should have one!

Really lovely country pub with great beer, whisky, service and food. This is classic pub fare so it’s all quite heavy but perfect after a hike or bike ride.

Someone in the kitchen screwed up our order so we waited about 50 mins for food but the servers were so lovely about it, it was impossible to get annoyed. In fact it was a great excuse to relax, slow down and put the world to rights!

The service was absolute superb. Just a lovely, chatty and friendly team

arrived 1:30pm on wednesday, after hiking. the place was almost full, recommend to book table in advance on weekends. the whitebaits and steak and ale pie were delicious. the mixed grill was enough for two people, over 20oz of meat in mixed grill and the rump steak was very tender. the pub has no free wifi.

Food portions are nothing shy of marvellous, left overs on plate and full belly's value for money and the quality was top notch
Good selection of beers on tap, great cosy old fashioned pub, 10 /10 would go again

Food was more than good, it was like home cooked, some places say home cooked food and it is clearly not but the Hardwick inn did not come in this category.
Staff were great.
Atmosphere matched the 16th century building, log fires decor to match. Great place for Sunday dinner at will not disappoint.

At first I was annoyed that our food came out late (2 tables came in after us and both got served before us) but when the food came out it was so good I didn't care. I can highly recommend the steak and stilton pie, one of the best pies I've ever had!
