   Wetherspoons food never disappoints no matter what branch you go to. Service can be a bit slow especially when busy. Around where you order drinks can be quite slow as usually there is only one or two members of staff serving people so can be left waiting for a while. Atmosphere is great, however can be quite loud sometimes especially on Wednesday nights as it’s student night. Overall solid establishment and is cheap. Good location in the middle of city centre.

   I recently visited The Corn Exchange, and it’s an absolute gem in the heart of Leicester! Housed in a gorgeous 1850s building, this former trading hub still retains its historic charm with soaring ceilings, elegant ironwork, and wooden floors that echo the footsteps of the past. Yet, it manages to combine that vintage atmosphere with a fresh, modern pub experience. Right as you step in, you’re greeted by a bright, open space—perfect for anyone wanting to chat over a drink or simply admire the architectural beauty. The bar area is huge and well-stocked, with a great selection of local ales, ciders, and craft beers. The friendly staff definitely know their stuff if you need recommendations! The menu offers plenty of comforting pub classics alongside some tasty modern twists. Whether you’re craving a hearty plate of fish and chips or something lighter, there’s something to suit all taste buds. I also appreciated the spacious seating and laid-back vibe, which makes it ideal for casual meetups or a cheerful night out. One standout feature is the gorgeous upstairs balcony area—perfect for taking in the lively buzz below while enjoying a pint. And if the weather’s nice, don’t forget the outdoor seating—it’s a lovely spot for people-watching in the heart of the city. All in all, The Corn Exchange marries Leicester’s history with a welcoming, modern feel. It’s got character, charm, and great food to match—definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in town!

   I dropped by with a group of friends the other week and it was a good visit for a couple of cheap drinks. I wasn't too keen on being I'D'd at the doors to get in, I don't exactly look underage, but I understand that may be Wetherspoons' policy. It was very busy when we arrived but we managed to get a bar table. If you're after a cheaper place for drinks then Wetherspoons definitely seems to be the right place for you.

   Me and my friend had an amazing time at this pub, a Wetherspoons with the welcome addition of music! The pub has a beautiful design that includes chandeliers, balcony stylings and frames. We were served by friendly staff and enjoyed a proper amount to drink, situated at a table that was clean just like the toilets!

   A lovely building, staff attentive. BUT one of the smallest servings of roast vegetables I've ever seen. I have family that work with Wetherspoon, I know how the roasted veg is portioned out, this portion was adjusted to be criminally small ...

   I eat breakfast in many Wetherspoons all over the UK and I have to say this one was cooked to perfection. Even though you would have thought all wetherspoons breakfasts would be the same they are not, normally something isn’t quite cooked right, but at this one every item was perfection. It’s quite a large pub with mezzanine floor, looks like it a popular place at night. If you want a perfect breakie then I would highly recommend this Wetherspoons for it.
