This is a fab place for weddings and much more, the gardens are lovely and they also have special evenings throughout the year for French & English cuisine.
They also have Gourmet evenings and Cookery demos, they pritty much do abit of everything.
Must be tried!

Having read the previous reviews and needing a place to go and celebrate our wedding anniversary, we decided to give the Old Vicarage a try. The Old Vicarage is a grand looking building adjacent to a church in Branston, on the edge of Burton. The whole place as you entered had a touch of class, from relaxing in a lounge area to choose your dishes to being shown to your table only when the starters were ready, we knew we had made the right choice.
We had chosen the three course option (£21.95 + supplements), and were shown into an opulent dining area with large tables, amply spaced and tastly furnished. My starter of mixed terrine including guinea fowl and rabbit, with melba toast and a sweet chutney was tasty, without being startling. The main course and dessert however, were a different story. The main of monkfish and prawns in a chilli and garlic based linguini was full of flavour, whilst my wife’s seabass was cooked to perfection.
Our desserts of lemon tart and a trio of chocolate desserts were arguably even better, probably the nicest white chocolate I have ever eaten! The pacing of the courses was just right and the waiting staff were friendly and helpful. Finishing off with petit fours and coffee in the lounge, it felt like the special occasion we wanted it to be. The Old Vicarage is not cheap, but serves great food in wonderful surroundings.

We reserve this restaurant for very special occasions (major birthdays etc.) and have been going to it for several years now. It is a superb restaurant — excellent food, efficient and friendly service, lovely ambience. Yes, it’s expensive, but it is really good value for money.

This restaurant looks fabulous from the outside situated close to branston just outside of burton town. Very nice from the inside aswell and you feel very specail when you go in. However i was very disappointed with the food (quite small portions) and also the service. It was a very expensive night out and i think when you have saved hard for a posh dinner it should be better than this.

Boasting a good traditional menu, the Old Vicarage serves excellent standard of food and offers very friendly and attentive service. Price guide — £30-£40 for 3 courses.
The surroundings are very pleasant and relaxing. Staff are always courteous and very accommodating. Children are welcome. Highly recommended for a special occasion.
