    So been here before they had the refurb. I have to say they have done a fantastic job the pub and restaurant are now separate so the dining room is small but really good atmosphere and the whole place is really well decorated. Staff are amazing great team of people working here really attentive to the customers Brom and Amy looked after us in the restaurant thanks for the great service. Good choice of the beer and wine. The food small simple menu and items are changed on a regular basis. Food was simply stunning really generous portions sizes and amazing flavours. I'm not going to go into everything I had as you should come and try it yourself. Except the steak I had here is probably the best steak I've ever had was amazing. Worth your time and money give this place a try.

    Great pub in the centre of leicester. The interior is really cool and has a relaxed and welcoming vibe, to the place. There is also outside seating, with smoking and no smoking tables available. Briliant selection of drinks to choose from and also a good cocktail menu. We had a sunday roast and were not disappointed!! I had chicken and pork belly, the crackling was actually crunchy and absolutely delicious! I would only, as a suggestion, say there could have been more vegetables.... We did have carrot and cabbage but would have liked some brocolli/peas or sweet corn maybe? For dessert, i had waffle and ice-cream and adored it! Great choices and great quality. Will definitely be returning

    I can only speak for the lunch time menu but we were blown away. The guy behind the bar was lovely, approachable and friendly. The place itself is nicely laid out and has a great outdoor bit. The food is next level, really unique and tastes so good! Would love to try the dinner menu. Would definitely recommend.

    Sadly a bad visit. Arrived and promptly left. Missing half the menu for drinks- staff disinterested and overall just not the best experience. There are better- more attentive venues nearby ready to take your money and provide a better service

    The bouncers on at night are appalling. They let in drunk people and kicked people out who were regularly drinking and having a good time. Would highly recommend choosing another pub.

    Food here is exceptional. Absolutely unbelievable flavours. I had a Philly Steak burger with fries loaded with pork belly and crackling. Do I really need to say anything else?

    Stellar pub all round. We were told the pub was recently refurbished. It is well decorated and very clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food was on point. Only downside was the lack of draft beer choices.
