Littleover Lodge - South Derbyshire

We came to Littleover Lodge for the first time in about 15 years on Christmas day this year, and we 're excited to see what it was like now. The staff were nice enough, although it was clear some didn 't want to be there (and who can blame them on Christmas day? . The food was ok, average really, but the thing that really let us down was the price they charged for our 2 year old 's Christmas dinner. We had been liaising with staff since booking at the start of October and explained we would only like the turkey course from the children 's menu for our toddler. We were told we wouldn 't need to preorder this and that it would likely cost around £10 (with the 4 course children 's menu costing £40 that day (included starter, sorbet, main and dessert, excluding the mince pie at the end . My husband paid off the drinks and meal at the end and left a generous tip. It wasn 't until later we realised we had been charged £30 for her meal! Absolutely outrageous. We wouldn 't have bothered ordering knowing this (she only ate the Yorkshire pudding and a small amount of turkey . We might as well have ordered the entire children 's menu for £40. We were incorrectly given a 'ball park figure ' for the meal and were ripped off. Really disappointing and we won 't be returning.

Great find, apartment style rooms with modern facilities and mezzanine layout. The restaurant/pub area only does food certain days of week but its a cracking menu and reasonably priced.

Gem of a place... really friendly staff. Relaxed bar area and restaurant

I have stay there 2 nights this week I found the rooms clean staff friendly food in the bar good and breakfast ok sausages could be a bit bigger good value

We came here tonight for a family meal, the positive I do have is the food was lovely we couldn 't fault it! So if your looking for somewhere with nice food and don 't mind how your treated a while sat in a awkward atmosphere this place is perfect for you. Thank god the food was nice because our evening meal didn 't start of so great. When arriving into the big empty room filled with just staff standing there with there arms folded not greeting us with even a smile we headed to our table. The lady with the bleach blonde hair and the eyebrows who looked after our table came over to ask us if our pre order for our meals was still OK to which one person wanted to change there meal, so as we are sat waiting for our drinks a couple who were joining our table and were running 5/10 minutes late came from the bar after getting there own drinks only to let us know a while they were waiting for there drinks at the bar the staff were all having a good old bitchfest about the table that had pre ordered and decided to change one of the meals and having a good moan/rant about us all infront of the couple who they clearly had no idea were joining our table (we was the only table in the restraunt if anyone 's wondering) so the lady on our table who had changed there order went up to the bar just to sarcasticly check that there isn 't a problem with the order change to which the staff said it was fine (they must of died inside when noticed the couple had joined our table lol). Also when bringing the meals out it was very much here is your food no politeness and no asking if we needed any extras like sauces which ofcorse theres always people who need mayonnaise or ketchup with there meal, it took about 10 mins to finally get someone 's attention for this. Also there was no check on our table to see how everything was, maybe because of the pure embarissment of being caught red handed at the bar previous so we can 't really blame them because we could literally feel the embarissment for them. So food was great but staff were very rude they didn 't want to know the customers at all and clearly would rather spend there time moaning about us thank looking after us.
