The 30 Best Pub in Leicester

“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.”

“A lovely local pub, it’s so lovely and modern inside, spacious and clean, good atmosphere. Good food and drink menu with vegetarian and vegan choices, prices are really decent and nice portion size. Staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of tables and outside tables with spaces for children. Free parking spaces.”

“Lunchtime visit with older group. Service was great. Initially we were allocate a table up a few stairs. Mobility issue with one guest was immediately spotted and we were moved to a different table without having to ask. Team were attentive but didn't rush us. Menu offered good choices for everyone. Vegetarian options were a little limited but still plenty of choice. Food was tasty and good size portions.”

“Came for breakfast with my son after seeing some pictures on face book of the food.was not dissapointed, breakfast was proper decent with thick bacon and great quality sausages. All tye food was spot on, food was a little slow to come but they apologised and as they were so busy understandable but defo worth the wait.5* breakfast”

“Dine India is the best curry house around by far. The staff are so friendly too, you just couldn't ask for more!”

“Called in on a Friday lunch time after recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Lovely little old fashioned pub with friendly and welcoming staff. We had a sandwich each, wife had prawn and I had beef and stilton, on brown bread. Both delicious and will certainly be having again. Just a bit of info for those wanting to eat here, food only served Wednesday to Saturday, 12 00 to 14 00.”

“The best shisha lounge in Leicester, free parking, top quality customer service and great shisha and Turkish food! Try the mix grill!!!”

“Loved this Restaurant with speakeasy entrance to the tables. The staff are so friendly and attentive, prices are good for a city centre. We had an amazing meal. Lovely background music too. We stayed at a local hotel and got 10% off our bill.”

“Regular drinking hole. Great selection of beers and massive beer garden meaning plenty of room to drink and enjoy the sunshine. Very family friendly pub. Only small wrinkle is the bar is quite small so often quite a big queue, but the staff are super fast at serving (and super friendly). Never eaten here, but there's always loads of people dining. Carpark quite small but ample off road parking nearby. Updated my review in August 25 having now eaten at the Queen Vic. Popped in for lunch on a Friday. Pub wasn't busy so no trouble getting a table. Menu offered plenty of choice, lots of pub classics and some lighter options as well. We were served quickly (helpful as teenage sons were starving) and food was delicious. Would happily eat here again. You can eat in the main pub or the restaurant building out back...that building serves the carvery.”

“Lovely food and friendly staff. Nice and cozy”

“Clean, spacious cafe with pleasant, efficient staff. Breakfast with the nicest bacon I've had in years. No quibbles about my food intolerances and choosing my own breakfast that wasn't on the menu. They even have milks & cakes for special diets, so all needs are catered for. Shame it's so far from where I live, but I will visit again!”

“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!”

“We went to The Bell for a family Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious! The roasts were well-cooked and we had a pot of crackling on the side for the pork-eaters. A choice of old favourites (crumble!) and more adventurous puds. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Quality bar quality beer and very friendly staff”

“A fine traditional pub with huge choice of ales. Visited on saturday lunch on the way to the Tigers game and so the place was packed. We ate some hot sausage rolls and vegetable samosas which soaked up the beer.”

“We enjoyed a very tasty meal when we stopped in on the way to watch rugby in Leicester. We were greeted by the friendly staff and received prompt service in this pub. The prices were reasonable and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We would definitely return again.”

“Popped in here when passing last Sunday. What a lovely pub. Wish I lived in this village.”

“Hi , me and my daughter went to the wool sale yesterday all for loros , we decided to have a drink afterwards and was made very welcome by the bar staff . 5 stars , thank you”

“If you're looking for an old school pub with a relaxed homely feel, this is the place. We enjoyed Sunday lunch here after the Remembrance Day parade at Victoria Park, and I can't praise the staff and especially Colleen for hosting us. The food was 5*, and the locals were extremely welcoming. Looking at what this place has to offer from open comedy nights to quizzes in its separate venue, there's something for everyone. Child and dog friendly with an open fire and plenty of seating, I just wish I didn't live in Northampton as this would become my local!!! Until next time, to Colleen and the team, thanks from us all. You made a difficult day very memorable for all the right reasons.”
