The staff was lovely, the food was excellent, and great portion size and at a very good price. Unfortunately when we visited the draught beers weren't working. The place is desperately in need of renovation but don't be put off by that. I would visit again.

The food and service was excellent, only thing I would suggest for improvement is the interior is very dated and there were a few cleaning issues that need attention, doors to toilets, carpets etc, I think these things would make the place so much better because the food is amazing and very reasonably priced.

What is going on here, No draught beers, warm bottled beers, and water coming through the ceiling. The place smells damp and the place looks derelict from the outside with plastic sheeting on the roof. I could only pay cash or bankers draft, what is that all about in this day and age. Costco chocolate fudge cake and watery ice cream.Service was slow and drinks served at table but no drinks list,and knowledge of staff was poor.We have been going here for 30 yrs but never been so depressed as tonight, i hope somebody from the owners will explain the decline in this establishment, and will not return until i here that it as improved.

We went for a birthday dinner and the service was excellent and the food was excellent all 6 meals were very tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately they had no draught beers and the choice of optics was very scarce also the place could do with a makeover as it looks a bit rundown. We have been going here for the best part of 35 years and hopefully they will get it back on its feet before it is too far gone,in all the years we have been going please get it back to how it used to be.

What can i say the food was excellent with plenty of it, cooked to perfection. Hats off to the chef they did a sterling job. However, when i visited there wasn't a great choice of beers on draught. I was only able to pick a pint of lager because that's all they had, poor really for a public house. You had to order your drink at the table rather that at the bar , which i thought was rather strange.If they stocked a few more beers then they could tap into the late evening drinks market which is thriving in Repton but perhaps they don't want too.By 9pm the pub was like a ghost town. Everyone who had been eating had moved on to other drinking establishments or had gone home due to the poor atmosphere.The decor was also a bit tired and slightly drab.If they redecorated the interior of the inn and offered a few more draught beers, i'm sure this place would go from strength to strength.That said the food made up for the negative points i have outlined. I would have no problem recommending this establishment if you wanted to sit down and have a good meal, you won't regret it.Give it a try and see what you think? Make sure you book in advance because if you just turn up your likely to be turned away. Sadly that happened to some poor chap who strolled in and took pot luck.

I hate to leave such a rubbish review but i was so unbelievably disappointed i just had to say something. We have been coming to the mount pleasant for years, my partner more than 25 years, and its such a shame to see it deteriorating. The place is absolutely freezing, so cold now that I couldn?t even stay to eat. I ordered a Malibu and coke and the Malibu isnt real Malibu but cheap aldi coco loco knockoff, which tastes vile. Theres buckets in the middle of the restaurant catching the leaks in the ceiling. This was by far the best steak restaurant ever but i cant see us returning now, such a shame to see such a local treasure go south

We were really looking forward to a night out at this pub having not been for a few years. However, as soon as we walked in the door, there was a strong smell of damp and fustiness in the air, and I mean really strong. We were shown to a table towards one end of the room where other people were seated, and the reason for this was to keep everyone together and to keep warm as there was no heating on! Some of the items on the menu were unavailable as were some beers. We were told that it was cash only. Please,please we love this pub but won't go again until these problems are sorted by the management. Get rid of the smelly carpets (laminate the floor) and old tables and chairs,cut down on the choice of beers and food but make sure everything is available, and put a bit of heating on - won't cost a lot and the customers will come flooding back. My clothes smelt of the atmosphere the next day, no, I'm not joking. We were going to stay for a meal, but in the end just had a drink, then went to the Swan at nearby Milton - what a difference! On the plus side, the staff especially the waitress were really friendly.

2nd visit with friends here this year and was looking forward to the evening . As we entered the premises we could feel the damp straight away , also how chilly it was . Shown to our pre booked table by a charming young lady where as we were told only 1 draught/keg beer ???? alarms bells now ringing . Compromised by having bottles of ale which to be fair were very good and a few choices ,but a lot more expensive then keg beer. Not as atmospheric as we expected and the few that were there kept there coats & woollies on the whole time....the food was faultless and very hot and well looked after by our hard working charming waitress....we do hope there are no underlying problems here as the premises could certainly do with an internal make over..........will certainly return when the weather is warmer..........

4 of us went for an early dinner.. The food was very good, nice people, good service but it was very cold and there were no choices of wine or draft beers. The place needs a good overhaul. Needs new seating and decorating. Sad because you cannot fault the food.

Absolutely appalling evening.It was freezing in the dining area. Radiators were on but barely heating the place up, and in the middle of December, that is not good enough. We were wearing out coats the majority of the evening!They messed up our starters, labelled food as ?chicken bites? but brought us chicken wings (which they did then bring out some chicken strips after)We asked for steak, 1 medium and 1 medium rare - both were rare. We also ordered a mixed grill, all the meat was tough.We then thought we would try the ?hot? puddings. This was a slice of cake warmed up in the microwave. The middle of the dessert was cold and so was the custard.We asked for Carling Shandy, they brought us a pint of Carling.The toilets were absolutely disgusting! Looks like they are never cleaned.We then went to pay and they told us ?it is cash only?Being in the 21st century we don?t carry cash and expect many places to have a card machine, especially as it?s easy to get one!If we had known this, we would have brought cash.The staff claimed they emailed and text us, we did not receive an email or a text to say it was cash only. They didn?t even tell us before we ordered, so we had no chance to even run to the cash point!After complaining to the staff, they came up with a load of excuses and no apologies. One member of staff even scoffed and said ?whatever?We are not ones to complain, nor do we go out of our way to write a review? but this service was appalling.AVOID

Meal out with friends. My meal was nice, but had to wait about 40 mins. They did warn us that it was 30 minutes wait. Staff friendly. Nice pub but very cold. I had to keep my coat on. Some food and drink ran out, but alternatives available. We received a text to say card machine wasn't working, so we knew to take cash. I would go again, but in summer when it is warmer. I imagine they are struggling with rising bills.

On arrival we noticed how cold it was. Took our coats off but put them on within 10 minutes as the place was absolutely freezing. Ordered drinks but only one beer on office which was Carling and that was as flat as a pancake. Just stayed for a drink as too cold to stay for the meal. Felt radiator on the way out and it was hardly warm.
