15. traditional pub food in Leicester

“What a turnaround! After the absolute fiasco at the Quorn Hotel (our original anniversary plan – let’s just say we won’t be rushing back), we decided to try this place instead. And wow, what a glow-up for our evening! Yes, there were a couple of little hiccups with the food at first – but the staff fixed everything so quickly and so cheerfully that we almost wished something else would go wrong, just to see them in action again. Customer service here deserves a standing ovation! The music was a tad on the loud side, but we powered through like two seasoned party veterans. The chicken curry was tasty – even if the chicken clearly came from a very proud thigh and not a breast – and those sweetcorn fritters? Honestly, they could have been the star of the night. Crispy, golden little bites of happiness! All in all, this restaurant turned a shaky start into a great anniversary evening. Not bad for Plan B – might even be Plan A next time. In summary a nice but lively place with decent food and drinks well worth a visit, we look forward to going here again.”

“Not been in here in a long time but thought we'd go for one to see how it had changed. Ended up staying for 4 as the staff were really friendly, the atmosphere was great and the beer was reasonably priced.”

“Working locally. This hotel meets all our requirements. Clean, warm and I have to say the staff have accommodated our ever needs and requirements. Bibble the receptionist was fantastic. We will be using this hotel again if we are working in the area again. It is also going through a refurbishment programme.”
