Local gifts in Leicester

“Helen did an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding, all of our guests were blown away by how beautiful they were and our wedding breakfast room looked amazing. Helen completely understood my vision from the start and was so accommodating and helpful with some changes I made as the wedding got closer. We also hired a few items from Helen such as candlestick holders and chair sashes, which were all laid out perfectly on the day. I was honestly completely blown away by how fantastic everything looked and she really brought my vision to life. She is also such a lovely and helpful person, I would not hesitate in recommending her for any future bride or anyone wanting amazing flowers for any occasion. Thank you so much, with love from Rach & Mike (Mr & Mrs Bullock)”

“Fabulous service! I ordered a same day delivery of beautiful cream and white flowers and asked for the delivery name to be sent to ‘Scoobie Doo’ (nickname for my boyfriend!) The delivery driver wrote in the delivery card that he’d left the flowers with Valma next door and signed off ‘From Shaggy’, which my boyfriend particularly enjoyed! The flowers are lovely and the service excellent. They arrived very quickly. Would order again! Love the personal touch of the delivery as well. Excellent!”

“We take Esme on a regular basis to Betty Blair's, they take great care of her, my daughter is fussy who she trusts with her pampered pooch but is always happy to take Esme to Betty's. As soon as she tells her she is going there Esme jumps in the car, when we pick her up she struts out head held high.”

“I ordered my wedding flowers from The Posy Bowl - a bouquet, button holes and a corsage. As I work during the shops opening hours, I did everything over Facebook messenger and telephone with Trina and she was really helpful and thorough, making sure to fully understand what I was looking for. She advised on how I could achieve the kind of look I wanted without spending loads of money and gave me other cheaper options if I wanted them, she wasn't pushy at all to try and sell me the most expensive things. On the day, she delivered the flowers to me and advised how to keep them fresh as it was a warmer day. Overall excellent service and would definitely recommend.”

“Mind blowing service !!! I rang Fusion Pharmacy after trying several other pharmacies for my medication, they said they could order what I needed.

Absolutely outstanding customer service experience, thank you guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This place is amazing. They offer all sorts of Turkish baked goods including savory and sweet. If you like Turkish cheese and bread you'll love this place. They have a massive variety of goods available. The interior is very well presented with ample seating. Would definitely recommend this place, they've got so much options they're sure to have something that you'll like. ≠=============================== Update: I've been here for breakfast on 2 separate occasions and I had their egg muffin with a cappuccino. The egg muffin was amazing... The hash brown that they use is quite big so is substantial and filling the best bit is that they top the hash brown with a fried egg... If you're lucky and the yolk is soft it'll bust and give the egg muffin yolky luxurious goodness! Highly recommend this you won't be disappointed. I saw others that ordered an English breakfast and it looked really nice. That's on my list too try next I think!”

“Really like this place, a very good variety of frozen chicken products, ready meals. Soft drinks and alcoholic. Plenty of snacks, hot drinks offers and condiments. Was surprised at how reasonable it was. Only downside, not enough staff when I was there.”

“We had a great brunch - avocado toast, with poached eggs with an extra of crispy bacon, the special of pavlova pancakes and for drinks we had bloody Mary’s & juice. The food all tasted brilliant and was presented really well. The bloody Mary’s were excellent with a really punchy spice level that I loved. The atmosphere was very laid back, which was great for brunch. The only slight downside was having to ask for a bottle of water 3 times, but a small thing for an overall great brunch.”

“Wonderful place to grab a quick drink or a full spread of food! Perfect for friends and family and the vibe feels so chic and very instagramable! I had the blueberry matcha when I went and honestly, my fave! Not too sweet and served by lovely staff! Thanks AndKith for a lovely afternoon and phenomenal hospitality ❤️✨”

“Excellent Takeaway Experience in Leicester During the recent Halloween holiday, we took our children to explore Leicester and selected this time-honoured Chinese takeaway for a meal. It is, without a doubt, the finest takeout I have ever experienced. The food was remarkably fresh and flavorful, and it was still delightfully warm upon our arrival at the holiday rental. Our son highly enjoyed the chicken balls, chicken noodles, and the sweet and sour chicken. We also found the staff to be exceptionally hospitable and kind. I would strongly recommend this establishment to anyone. It is certain to meet your expectations.”

“Newly refurbished. The new interior is very welcoming as are the staff. Good selection on bottled beer and a fair number on tap. TVs are on for major games / events which is nice. A very welcome addition to the village.”

“Very nice shop with international products! Kind personal... Big choice!”

“Always really tasty food and decent prices. The veggie options are great, and the owner is super friendly whenever you call. A solid local takeaway you can rely on.”
