The Mountain Restaurant

The staff were all friendly and helpful, there is a good selection of food and drinks. I only had a coffee this time but my friends had scones which were huge and they said they were delicious. Its definitely a good idea to book a table especially at the weekends.

The staff were really friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they adjusted the menu to suit our needs. Food was really good and plentiful. We enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely return.

A very sociable occasion introducing friends to Melton Mowbray with good food and good service. Already planning other dates to visit the nursery and the restaurant.

Easy to book online and quick confirmation. Staff friendly, atmosphere great background music not too loud. FOOD ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Thank You will be back :-)

Nice restaurant to go for breakfast. Lovely staff, friendly & helpful. The food was freshly cooked, hot and well presented. There’s a garden centre attached and gift shop which are nice to have a look at.

The reserved table wasn’t available. Took 30 minutes for someone to prepare our table. Needed to go to the counter to order when usually table service has been provided. Service was incredibly slow. Food not great.

We visited on a Sunday lunchtime and were able to choose from an extensive menu of light bites to Sunday roast. Our meals were delicious and arrived piping hot. Friendly and prompt service. Loved the Swiss chalet ambience. Would definitely recommend booking in advance as the restaurant is very popular.

Easy to find, Great restaurant, roomy, lovely food, polite and helpful staff. Scones, jam and cream are amazing. If you don't eat everything, you can take it home.

We both had a ploughman's lunch. It was very well presented. I wasn't keen on the ham but everything else was very nice. The lodge was lovely and cool inside as it was a very hot day. All the staff were very friendly.

friendly helpful service and good food at a good price. we often visit to celebrate birthdays and other occasions and we would recommend the experience totally.

Very good Service a bit slow but not the fault of staff just not enough of them Food was very good, the potions were huge but reasonably priced

Excellent location, good food choice, excellent quality food and good service. Inside and outside seating and I noticed dogs welcome outside. No steps and easy parking.

Lovely Father’s Day meal. Friendly staff and nice to try the Swiss dishes. My little boy loved the cake selection although it took a while to choose!

Food was brilliant, prices were resonable, the only thing is because we were sat right night to the bar, there were a lot of waitress standing behind the bar watching you.

Service excellent, we were served straight away and food was perfect. The waitress was a credit to the company, couldn’t have been nicer. A wonderful place to have something to eat.

We took a small group of friends for a bank holiday weekend treat. The weather was unusually nice for a bank holiday so it was great to be able to sit in the outside area of the restaurant. As always the service was efficient and welcoming and the cakes were as delicious as ever. Highly recommend the red velvet cake! Our time there was relaxed and enjoyed by all and it was great to be able to shop and browse around the garden center after food and drink :-)

Great Restaurant - unique design to your typical garden centre restaurant. Great food and fab choice of cakes but service can be a little slow if you are in a hurry for lunch.

The cakes are superb. The roast dinner not so much as the roast potatoes had been reheated and the beef was a little tough. Your website is misleading as it gives 3 different names for your restaurant Alpine - Mountain Restaurant & J & L.

Lovely food served piping hot, and the selection of cakes is awesome. They certainly don’t stint on portion size! Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend without hesitation.

Bought one adult fish and chips and one kids meal of sausage and chips. The fish was delicious and very nicely and freshly cooked. The chips were economy oven chips and not that pleasant. My son was a bit disappointed with his meal which, although much cheaper than the adult one, was pricey for the size compared to many local pubs and restaurants. Mushy peas a bit cold.

Very clean and pleasant place. Lots of staff so service was good. Food also very good we had a mixture of items and all were of a high standard.

From the atmosphere to the food it is deliciously relaxing and a very enjoyable experience. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

The food was lovely! However we were not given clear guidance on how to order (bar or whether waitress came and took the order). When we did order, after waiting 45 mins for the food to arrive, we had to chase the order. We had 3 children with us who kept asking where the food was. The atmosphere and staff were good despite the waiting.

Lovely staff and good food, cakes are amazing, nice log fire to keep it cosy. The shop had so many good ideas for presents, we will certainly go back

Cosy atmosphere with a great fire going and amazing cakes and cheese scones. Well worth a visit even if it is off the Beaton track

Food was good but it was a long wait. Was told it would be half an hour and it was more like an hour wait for when we ordered. Also ordered fish and chips but wasn't told they had run out of ketchup! But was given a free drink to make up for the wait so that was good service.

I’ve been three times now, twice recently. The food is excellent and the place has a relaxed, family friendly ambiance. The service suffers slightly as it is always so busy but the staff are friendly and do their best.

Arrived early and orderd promptly but had a 45 minute wait for our breakfasts. Was also not made aware that the coffee came with a free refill. That would have been appreciated during the 45 minute wait. Food good when it eventually came but we were so hungry the moment had passed. Not impressed.

Really enjoyed breakfast this morning for Mothers day. Good service and well cooked food. Make sure you book on busy day's as it was fully booked.

Always enjoy coming here! Had afternoon tea and came away absolutely stuffed!!! Fab staff, lovely surroundings and amazing food! Looking for ages to the next visit.

Great quality food. Lovely atmosphere. Amazing cakes that are a must

Was a lovely dinner today and was very quick to bring the food ! Staff are all so friendly and the cakes are just so yummy !

Lovely place to catch up with friends with tasty homemade food. We had two babies with us and they had the high chairs ready at the table for us was great to find a family friendly place.

Excellent venue, friendly staff and great food. I can't rate this place highly enough. Greeted by a huge roaring fire, we were slightly early, but our table was ready for us. We were made very welcome as soon as we arrived and were updated on the menu straight away, so that we could make informed choices on our varied requirements. We will definitely return.

First time eating here and was pleasantly surprised; great food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely return, probably for a slice of the amazing looking cakes.

A lovely log fire roaring away on a cold day. Very welcoming and very friendly staff. A lovely birthday treat and perfect food. Thank you.

Delicious food and excellent service. Lovely decor. Will go again. The cakes are wonderful. And interesting gift shop to look around. Food good value for money.

Lovely Sunday lunch and nice service. Only criticism was we were told that one person out of our group of 6 would have to go without a Yorkshire pudding as they had ran out! We were compensated with some cauliflower cheese but still found it hard to understand why more yorkies could not be made. Will definitely return.

Very nice quality Sunday lunch, fast and efficient service, great atmosphere. Choice for the Sunday menu and the weekday menu is great. Choice and size of puddings or cakes outweighs everywhere else.

The service is good and friendly, the main meals were very nice and well cooked and presented nicely. However, 2 deserts were disappointing, one was replaced with a different desert, but Mother didn't mention to staff that she was disappointed with her dessert.
