“STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS”Absolute joke this place. We went for the so called 10oz sirloin ? only to be served up with a 4oz (at best) wafer thin beef frying steak smothered in some kind of a watery sauce,apparently peppercorn and red wine. We was the only people in the pub from the moment we got there to the moment we left and the reason for this now is clear. The place was absolutely freezing cold. We never took our coats off once even to eat our meal. We had our 20 month old baby with us and couldn’t wait to get out of there to get him into our warm car. iv been to many a pub/ restaurant,I know what’s good and what’s not and in the 52 years of me being alive iv got to say this pub is definitely the worst Iv ever been to and had the displeasure of eating in. The beer which was apparently staropravan was flat and tasted more like a bad pint of carling. This place was the biggest disappointment Iv had in a very long time. I actually felt robbed when we left. Trust me when I say. “Stay away at all costs”.

Lovely food, (I had a cracking steak, lashings of peppercorn sauce and delicious hand cut chips) and great service.Room temp was a bit too low, but it was -2° outside after all!Give this lovely family-run pub a go, if you prefer good food to room decor, you won't be disappointed.

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.

Went out for family birthday meal 7pm, the smell hit us as soon as we walked in , inside interior was very worn & dated , when my meal came out it looked terrible, ordered large battered cod ,chips & mushy peas, the fish looked like 2 large fish fingers, chips very greasy & teaspoon of mushy peas, when I cut into the batter it was hollow both ends ,no fish just a small bit in the middle , same with the second one , told the assistant and they took it all away , didn't pay for it & they said sorry , but it wasn't good enough, other family members weren't happy too , shall not go 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.
