Nice pubs in Leicester

[Unabomber]

Apart from those 2 are there any other recommendations for good food? I don’t eat out in Leicester often nowadays so not sure if there’s some decent new places. Cheers

Went to the Queen Victoria in Syston for the first time at the weekend, despite being a Syston citizen for a few years now.

 

Good atmosphere and decent ales.

Cow and Plough has had a really nice refurb. Cracking pub.

Did you re mortgage for a Scotch egg tho

 

But seriously yeah it's a good boozer, decent choice of drinks, and has some great spaces, inside and out, and always seems busy enough. 

 

Be interesting to see how the dog gets on now it's reopen, and to be fair, with the fox, the pharmacy and the refurbishment on the grosvenor there's potential for a good little crawl around syston.

I have been tasked to find a decent (and veggie friendly)  Sunday roast in Leicestershire that is close to M1 on the virtue of being a Leicester fan yet have not lived in the city for 16 years.

 

Any recommendations folks?

Not lived there for 5 years myself but maybe The Red Cow in L.F.E.

Used to work there many moons ago

Obviously a little out of town for most but the owners of the blue boar have just opened a new bar called the rock in Whitwick. Nice little place with some great beer choices

Shhhhhhh, just through the woods from mine and don't want it any busier. 

 

 

Only a short walk for us too, been in a couple of times and impressed so far. Had really hoped they'd do meals in the evening. Definitely something that is lacking in the area, somewhere walkable that does food.

Really not what it used to be. Shame.

For the first time in probably 5 years I did three Leicester pubs for the very first time today. Real Ale Classroom, New Road Inn and The Donkey, enjoyed them all.

[SemperEadem]

Strange old place but The Hind has a very under appreciated sun trap out on the back.

Off to Leicester next Wednesday to meet up with a mate I’ve not seen in ages and my brother. We are planning east street lanes for some bowling and eating and Martin Bros Pizzeria. Does anyone know any decent pubs between the 2 so mainly London Road and Queens Road? Cheers

Queens Rd Tap is just around the corner from Martin Bros, they normally have a good selection of beers. 

 

Avoid the Clarendon, it's pants

Queens road tap is decent, Real Ale Classroom is slightly off that route (not too far away) but is great for a beer

Probably been mentioned before but went over to the Pillings marina in barrow today for the first time, very pleasant afternoon sipping a few pints out on the deck…

Agree; it's very nice.

Not too pricey.

A hidden gem of Leicestershire.

Just seen some adverts for this, had no idea it existed. Glad to hear it was good as we fancy trying it for lunch.
