The Lighthouse in Harborough

The lighthouse is one of our favourite restaurants. A fabulous local, independent business. Service is always excellent and food is always delicious. We recently took our friends and they loved it as much as we do

Lovely great tasting food, being Michelin star, you'd expect so. However, the restaurant needs better ventilation. Open windows or AC would create a better atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic menu. The food was devine. Not too much or too little. Staff were excellent.Fully recommend.

Visited with a friend last night .We had 3 dishes to share to start with .Whitebait was lovely .Calamari had a dip that was so salty yiu couldn’t eat it .Potted shrimps , salty .I had mussels for main course , the sauce was again way too salty , half the mussels were closed. My friend had fish and chips, huge amount of batter for the size of the fish .My friend paid the bill as she knows the owners . I wouldn’t have ! I’ve been drinking water all night !I have been before and it’s been nice , i don’t know why it was like this last night.

Excellent meal at a reasonable price in an attractive venue. During the week in addition to the a la carte menu there is supper club menu with a limited choice but it is good value for money

The scallops were divine!! Went with three friends and we had nibbles to start and then I had scallops for main - perfect combo! Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful. Great wine to match each dish. One of my absolute favorite places to eat - everyone needs to try!

Lovely intimate restaurant . Amazing food and wonderful service . Thank you

One of the best meals I have ever had. A lovely warm and welcoming restaurant with a great menu and very friendly staff. Service was excellent from all of the staff. Food is superb with a wide choice of all courses. For the mains you could choose to have a small or large portion of some dishes which is a great idea. I cannot wait to go again it was that good. Very highly recommended.

Good food good service cosy place, fresh fish, good selection of wines too! Would recommend!

We were a bit disappointed with The Lighthouse, having heard many good things. The set supper menu seemed like good value, but we decided to order from the standard “Bill of Fare” because there was only one fish main course on the set menu.When our nibbles arrived, we thought one of the dishes wasn’t what we’d ordered (we got smoked salmon on crostini rather than salmon mousse on sour dough toast) but didn’t make a fuss, since we thought I may have ordered the wrong thing. The bill later confirmed they had got it wrong. I pointed this out to our waitress, but she just said they have similar names and that they’d already told the kitchen it’s confusing, but offered no apology.Everything was cooked well and tasted fine, but the portion sizes were quite small considering the price. When paying £17.50 for six scallops, a bit more pea risotto would have been good, as would more than one prawn in the Thai fish soup (“an aromatic bowl of fresh fish and prawns”).If you want to try The Lighthouse, I’d recommend visiting Tuesday to Thursday and having the set supper menu so that you get better value for money.
