Gift selection in Leicester

“Amazing authentic Neapolitan pizza with a great selection of craft beers. Can’t recommend this place enough – the food, the vibe, everything is spot on. The only downside is the limited time at the table, but with how busy they get, it’s totally understandable. Definitely worth a visit!”

“We had a lovely brunch for Mothers day. The staff are so accommodating and the food is lovely! Highly recommend. We were also able to reserve a table and the courtyard is Pet friendly. Thank you!”

“I have now been to Joy Coffee Bar a couple of times. A very cosy cafe, shame it is not on the main strip, but that might be part of its appeal. Very polite couple of people serving. Great customer service skills and both should be commended on a good job. It's not hard to be friendly, but I've have been to many places where people don't take the time or effort to speak with customers. I will definitely be back.”

“Well-stocked shop, all you need, essential brands, friendly staff.”

“The lady in the shop was very helpful and my wife loved the bouquet. Thanks very much.”

“Excellent customer service. Fast delivery and the roses are beautiful! ❤️ My son’s girlfriend is super happy. Thank you.”

“I attended a workshop today with my sisters to make some little wooden houses. I have never done any kind of crafting before. The lady who ran the workshop was very encouraging and patient and Tony and the other lady who run the place were very polite and friendly. I wouldn’t have said that making things was really my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed my afternoon at The Squirrel.”

“Some of the best food in the East Midlands, I always try to stop here on a cycle. Fantastic place”

“We had a good diner at the place. Service was very good and all staff were very helpful. We had a platter and that is a good choice as it gives taste of most of the starters. For mains We had steaks they were made according to our desire and Mongolian beef and fried rice was very delicious.”

“Everards Beer Hall is a brilliant venue that just keeps getting better. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, with a fantastic selection of beers that highlight the best of Everards brewing. The new food menu is a real treat, fresh, varied, and perfectly paired with the drinks. A huge shoutout to Marie and Emma, who hosted the quiz with such energy and enthusiasm. Their warmth and charisma made the evening engaging and memorable, adding that extra spark to an already great night. Between the outstanding beers, delicious food, and the fun quiz, Everards Beer Hall is the perfect place for a night out. Highly recommended!”

“This was my first visit to Whetstone Golf Club for a meal. My lady had been before and came away contented. The Staff were exceptional and the food was excellent. The atmosphere was great.”

“Lovely meal. Nice setting was very busy but they did accommodate us at short notice”

“Hands down the best curry I’ve ever had and the chicken biryani just wow… the lads really looked after me just before closing on a Friday as well, honestly look no further for great quality food at very reasonable prices”

“Everything exceeded our expectations. Creatively and assiduously thought out dishes, executed to a flavourful and punchy delivery. The kimchi, tuna and Red Leicester / mozzarella sourdough toastie was flavour combination my tastebuds were delighted to experience! The salad maple and mustard dressing was delicious too. All ingredients are fresh, grown on site or sourced locally from the market and local suppliers like butchers and bakers, and their quality is reflected in their superb taste. I can’t recommend this place enough; it’s clear that there’s a passion for and curiosity about food as there is mastery for culinary execution . Very generous portion sizes. Excellent service.”

“If you're looking for a cosy, welcoming spot to unwind, look no further than the Queens Head. This small, charming local pub has quickly become one of my favourites. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted like an old friend by the friendly staff and the regulars who make the place feel like home. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, with just the right amount of energy, but not so loud that you can't enjoy a good conversation. The decoration is simple and unpretentious, which adds to its simple charm. The drinks selection is fantastic, with a great variety of ales, beers, and some lovely cocktails. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The prices are also incredibly fair for such quality. What really makes The Queens stand out, though, is the people. The staff are incredibly friendly and always up for a chat, especially Abbie, Becks and Les, making you feel right at home from your first visit. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a quiet pint alone or laugh the night away with friends. They even host little events like quiz nights and darts, which adds to the community vibe. If you want to experience the best of what a small, friendly local pub has to offer, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!”

Having visited several other jewellers I walked into Pride Diamonds & was made to feel very welcome & explained that I would like a custom engagement ring. I was given expert advice & a variety of options & even having changed my mind on the stone shape & setting Ronak was very patient & friendly throughout given the extremely short time frame I had given them.
