The restuarant I'd very good and offers good value for money. Breakfast was also excellent. However as a place to stay it is let down by being right under the flight path to East Midlands airport so getting to sleep before 12 was an issue. The owners should also pay attention to detail. The bed was far too soft for... More

We have stayed before at the Hardinge Arms under the previous owners and vowed never to stay again but when we were aware of a change of ownership decided to give it another go and what a lovely surprise the new owners have really turned this place around. It is now a lovely clean and friendly hotel, all the staff... More

We eat out a lot in this area and would put this restaurant in the top 10 locally. Possibly not the very best but certainly up there. It is not cheap but good value compared with others of this quality in the area. The food is always of a high standard and the presentation beyond reproach. I would not call... More

Four of us had dinner at the Hardinge to celebrate a birthday on Saturday evening. While the food was good or excellent, I found some of the prices over the top in what is really only a gastropub. My son chose the scallop and crab ravioli starter which was £9.95. The portion was tiny, ONE scallop divided into two and... More

Once again a fantastic meal, excellent attentive service, the staff are really friendly and polite a real credit to the owners, portions just right if your having the full three courses, if not I advise ordering a side dish to go with your meal. Will Definatly be visiting again!

A fabulous dining experience. I had booked a table for two for 12.30 p.m. My date was late and I had resigned myself to dining alone, so ordered my lunch. Of course the inevitable happened, she arrived. However, without a word being said, Alison of the Hardinge Arms had instructed the chef to delay my meal. The outcome was our... More

We took a number of clients to the hotel whilst running an event at Donington and all stayed there, just a few weeks after the new management took over back in 2011. We were made to feel extremely welcome and the family-owners bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed - even supplying a phone charger when we'd... More

Had an absolute superb lunch on wednesday afternoon Dec 28th, 3 of us had a mixed menu finding all the food excellent,special mention to the ham hock and leek terrine, and the slow roast belly pork, not to forget the creme brulee.Coupled with great hosts, great surroundings, and a lovely atmosphere. Definatley a place we will be revisiting.

We had our Christmas "do" at the Hardinge on the 10th December and stayed overnight as well. We could not fault it in any way, the food was beautifully cooked with a perfect combination of flavours for each dish, Rooms were clean and very comfortable and breakfast was exceptional with quality locally sourced ingredients. Our group consisted of three chefs... More
