Bees knees always has a great atmosphere and friendly vibe to the place. The food is delicious and staff is always very helpful. Especially the manager Tommy who is able to answer any query regarding the menu or just for a nice chat. Highly recommend

Went for breakfast every thing was great apart from the sasauges, must be the whole group that uses these tasteless hard sasauge as I've had them at the Oadby Owl and they were the same. Very good prices too.

Came here as we were staying in Leicester overnight and needed a Wacky Warehouse so that the kids could burn some energy after being in the car for 3 hours. Kids had a great time in the Wacky Warehouse and special mention to Megan who was great with the children. Megan also knew that we were short of time to eat in WW so reserved us a table in the pub. We’ve been to Hungry Horse pubs before and kind of knew what to expect food wise. However, our expectations here were exceeded! My wife had the Gravy Burger and said it was really good. I had the half roast chicken which was cooked to perfection. Very happy with everything and if we are back in Leicester in the future, we’ll certainly consider coming back here.

We had a lovely experience of breakfast this morning at Bees Knees Meridian The lady that served us was Kayla, she was so so kind and it was no trouble to change things on my children's breakfast and order chips at breakfast time. It was a chilled atmosphere and the staff were so helpful, friendly and polite.

We came out for an evening family meal and all the food was beautiful. Both our children enjoyed their fish finger meals and chicken nugget meals. The feed the family for £15 was also such a great deal. Our server Charlotte was lovely and made sure that everything was amazing with the meals. Lovely pub and lovely staff. Couldn’t recommend more!

I visit here often with my two boys and recently with the addition of my newborn and go to wacky warehouse. We always have the best time, especially my boys, it’s clean, well maintained and it’s safe. By far the best thing is the service and in particular the girls who work there. They are so lovely, polite, friendly, helpful and warm. They make the time to get to know you a little and make you feel welcome which is so nice when you go often and mainly alone with your children which can be daunting and lonely. Can’t recommend the place enough.

We had drinks and a sharing platter here a couple of weeks ago after the cinema. Was visiting daughter at the uni. Would have been nice to sit and chat but evening was ruined by about 6 kids between ages of about 4 and 9 just continually running around and jumping all over the chairs for a good hour or 2. This was well beyond 9pm and no sign of the parents-they were drinking in another part of the restaurant. Im not against children in restaurants but this was dangerous and very disruptive. We didnt stay for any more food or drinks as had to leave!

Took my parents out for Mother’s Day. My dad’s £13.99 steak was too tough to eat. We sent it back to be cooked a little longer but was the same when it came back. Couldn’t even take it home for their dog as they were concerned even dogs teeth would struggle. My mum enjoyed her veggie pie but the top was too tough to eat like it had been over microwaved. My veggie roast was nice. I told the guy who took our plates about the steak and he said he’d mention it to the chef so I expected someone to come to our table to chat but they didn’t…

I visited the Bee Knees for a Sunday meal. I ordered the burger sizzling combo, which consisted of a double beef burger with cheese and fries and wings with a steak on the side. Not to forget the fried peppers to be served with the chicken wings and steak. It was a great meal and a great price, too, for how much you get with it. I would highly recommend it if you're feeling quite peckish.

Sausages were literally rock hard,would have been arrested for carrying round a deadly weapon if I left with them.

Terrible experience. The staff servings had poor customer service, they were more interested in joking with each other than serving. The meal came out cold and undercooked, after returning it i didn't get cutlery needed (stake knife) the food was terrible. No one came to see if the food was ok (call back) I had to visit the bar twice to get service. The table was dirty and I had to ask for it to be cleaned, there was food on the floor and walls. This is a poorly managed bar / restaurant. It's felt more like numbers In and out (turnaround) was more important than customer experience.. after visiting the brewery other pubs with no complaints this is a pub I'd never visit again or recommend.
