The Marquis Wellington

1. Busy pub, even on a Monday! Came here for dinner on my own whilst away with work. Blue moon was £6.60 a pint which is a lot. I thought being in Leicester the price may be a bit cheaper, but not in this place. But it was a very good pint in a chilled glass with the traditional slice of orange.

   Unfortunately even though the atmosphere was good, the meal was really disappointing. Ordered the pulled pork burger as it sounded great.

   Unfortunately it was far from. It didn’t come with any jalepenos or peppers although advertised, the pork burger was barely cooked and the chips were soggy and not crispy, which is a shame as they could have been really tasty.

   Couldn’t easily complain as I was on my own I couldn’t leave the table, and no one came over to check on my meal. You pay in advance so I also couldn’t ask for some money off.

   Would recommend this pub for a drink on a night out, but not for food.

2. One of the oldest and well liked of the city centre pubs.

   Visited by those attending the city’s sporting teams and De Montfort Hall, as well as thirsty academics at the nearby Univeristy of Leicester, it is a spacious pub both inside and out.

   Having been coming here for 20 years there is always a friendly and well trained set of staff here as many generations of ownership have taken place.

   The current group are particularly good.

   The food here has improved very much in recent years and Sunday lunches especially are worth the visit.

   We had different meats and the vegan option and the elements were well appointed.

   The desserts also normal and vegan had exactly what one would expect in quality food.

   This pub very much has a finger on the oulse of a lot of beers and decent wines.

   The outside area is big and good in summer with small huts for groups.

   This pub is good for couples as well as small groups and comes well recommended.

3. Lovely pub always had been . Service is so good the team are so welcoming. My Hub loved this loaded chilli hot dog

4. Really impressed and highly recommend for great beer and food. We booked a table for 6 on a Saturday night. We all had different dishes and all were great. Gluten free options and gluten free chips as well, always a winner! Liver and bacon especially delicious. Staff knowledge and helpful. Lovely buzzy atmosphere. Well worth a visit if in the area or visiting DeMontfort Hall or 02 Academy.

5. Nipped in before a gig at the o2 Academy, good atmosphere, nice food, perfect pre gig meeting place.
