King Richard III Pub in Leicester

Excellent venue especially for seeing new local talent in the music industry. Good atmosphere.

Visited king richards a few days back, excellent venue would def recommend. AK who served us was very friendly & polite 💯

Nice Pub/Bar in the center of Leicester. Good quality and variety of beer. Fun time during football championship 2024

One of the bar staff was extremely rude. I would not recommend this place

Okay pub, though strong chlorine smell throughout. Clientele were a bit sketchy, with questionable activities happening in the toilets.

Enjoyed the night here 26/27/4/2024 Got really busy and very friendly at

First night of the Leicester comedy festival, great night, great line up at the monster comedy show in the back room. Already booked to return for many more shows over the festival.

Freya the barmaid was very friendly and polite excellent service

Karaoke. Not the cheapest place

Great pub very friendly staff great drinks and prices also lovely and clean .would definitely go again if we're to come to Leicester and would recommend it 😄

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.

There is NO longer FOOD Served at the establishment. They need to update all Google and website. They have ZERO food options now. Yet goggle is covered with reviews on the place being a eatery

Love this pub. In every Saturday night. Friendly staff. Missing Martin behind the bar. He always remembered what I have to drink.

Went last night with some colleagues from work, great atmosphere and beer, Uber was able to park right outside the venue which made it ideal 😊

Top bar, especially with Mark working the karioke. Great atmosphere....

Great pub with a friendly atmosphere. The staff team were very pleasant and helpful. Lovely bar and beer garden. 5 stars

Great atmosphere, great staff, especially the door staff who go above and beyond to make guest feel welcome

Wonderful little boozer with lovely staff.

What a fabulous night, it was Karaoke might with Marc Vaughan Karaoke ... This is a pearl of a pub, never been before, but was made to feel very welcome, and I even got a free shot for my birthday!.. how nice is that?.. highly recommend this place, .. Will certainly be coming back!.. xx

Great little pub,with lots happening great music from soul,to karaoke disco,also brill beer garden with piped music,great selection of beers n ales defo be going back!!

Great place, lovely staff then the owner showed up. Wow, what a mood hover! Overall, nice place providing the owner keeps away

Helpful friendly staff. We went for the comedy festival and there was also karaoke. Great night.

Nice little pub..didn't even know it was there.polite staff and food service

Although good beer, rude bar staff and point blank refused to give a receipt!! Unlikely I will visit again

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

Fab music brilliant atmosphere .. lively people of all ages!...fab barstaff too

Decent beer at reasonable price.

Friendly staff, not to busy, had karaoke on Thursday night.(bank holiday)

Pleasant enough. Nothing remarkable about the place but staff were friendly and drinks reasonably priced.

Luvly staff, great menu, very cosy!

Absolutely love it here. Cosy, friendly and amazing food!!!

Awesome food lovely little bar very cosy 😁

Went here for the 1st time for the Sunday roast and the food was outstanding, customer service was also outstanding and we even tried a few of the Halloween based cocktails. Defo will be back again

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?

Brilliant, really enjoyed the ambiance.

The food was incredibly delicious! The service was amazing and the pub itself is lovely. Great outside area with a living wall and a fantastic interior. I went back again to this pub recently (03/09/2021) and the food was even better. the staff were super friendly and attentive. I dropped in for a quick pint but ended up staying 4 hours or so. Would highly recommend.

Great classic cosy pub that’s not too busy. Quick service and friendly staff

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

Just walked in of the street after bit of shopping To a Fantastic Sunday lunch

Fantastic place, Alan the gaffer is a great person with a story or 2 to tell. Staff are great too and the food looked and smelled amazing. Next time in Leicester we will be tasting the food..... covid willing 🙏

Lovely food, I love have small and and friendly the atmosphere is. Menu is simple and not much to choose from but that's perfect for me who's someone who struggles to make decisions

Friendly atmosphere, pleasant staff - thankyou

Good food nice staff beer could be better very helpful

Had an excellent meal here with my friends on Saturday 3rd July. The service was excellent - all the staff were attentive and really welcoming. The food was delicious, particularly the wings! Looking forward to returning soon and trying out more of the menu!

Good for drinks with friends, nicely done out with the biggest mirror for pictures 🙊

We had a great time here on a Saturday afternoon , staff were attentive, drinks served Ice cold and a really lovely atmosphere all afternoon, id definitely recommend. Well done King Richard 111

Best jerk seasoned burger in Leicestershire.

Nice pub, great choice of drinks and lovely staff

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.

Good friendly bar staff.good real ale.Had front window seat looking down onto shopping centre

Fantastic food and friendly staff Had the lunchtime menu and definitely returning for dinner service The perk chop was delicious

So pleased it's open again,nice relaxing place for a quite drink

Had a couple of pints of ale in here which was top notch, great place for an afternoon drink, people in there having food which looked nice to, overall well recommended

Have been there twice now. Can get really busy and loud. Good food and service though

Very nicely refurbished inside...drinks moderately priced but nice atmosphere and friendly bar staff..nice place to have a catchup and a conversation

Amazing staff very attentive. Friendly have time for their guest (Customers). Lovely place to sit and think, background music not to loud. I will be coming back. I probably got on their nerves but they didn't let it show. Even when I had to show them a photograph Love the place thank you guys

First time visiting after a refurb. Great atmosphere, loved it, would definitely go again.

Fantastic staff and food, lovely surroundings just a little loud music wise for us

A party of us went along on Sunday 22nd December for our annual Christmas catch-up. Catering for 17 isn't an easy task and over the years we've found that Christmas meals are usually a little disappointing. However I've received nothing but compliments about the food we had and we were all genuinely blown away by the quality and standard of our meals. All of the staff were warm and friendly and we were made to feel really welcome.Thank you for a thoroughly lovely afternoon. We cant wait to come back to try the standard menu.

The change of owners did not adversely affect King Richard. And even, it managed to sense a note of extravagance. The service was very pleasant, it was felt that each of the girls has their own charm. Food in the right size, tasty, filled the taste buds on the tongue. Great place for a getaway to the city center (where there is only commercial and soulless places). We recommend and we will definitely be back for a bit of extravagance.Kind RegardsRenata Piętoń i Ireneusz Grzywna

Fantastic food and service. An absolute gem of a place. The Sirloin chop was amazing 😊. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu. Highly recommended

A group of us visited the King Richard pub for a Sunday lunch birthday celebration. The dining room was cosy and decorated in dark colours and historical prints of Richard Third with hints of contemporary/chic wallpaper. The staff were extremely attentive and provided everything we asked for - the only thing they didn’t have was a coat stand/hooks for our coats and I suggested that they perhaps needed one...The Food was excellent, it was hot and the roast chicken was the best I had tasted for a long time. We all had our own little gravy jug and provided even more gravy when we asked! The puddings were divine too...It didn’t feel like we were in the middle of Leicester and had an old house/pub vibe. We will definitely return.

Nice cosy Ye Olde pub... Decent choice of Real Ales..... Not too expensive....

If you like meat, then you need to visit here. The meat is obviously selected with care and cooked with love. The staff were attentive and friendly. I came here for a meal with my parents and it really was a night to remember.

Small, cosy pub. Decent pint of Tiger.

We came for a mid week lunch. We both had a ploughman’s, or should I say two small pieces of cheese, little bread and a small salad for a large amount of money. We were the only people in the place so I’m not sure the poor portion size was a consequence of them running out of food. We thought we would give the new owners a try, having been a number of times when previously open, sorry to say we were disappointed. Hope things improve, we won’t be rushing back.

Food is fantastic. Friendly staff

Brilliant service, food and good red wine. Definitely call here again for a relaxed lunch time chill. X

Just been to the King Richard III pub/restaurant to celebrate my nieces 30th birthday. I had the Barnsley Lamb chop, with beef dripping chips, corn on the cob and broccoli and I have to say the food was absolutely fantastic and the lamb was probably the best I have ever tasted. My fellow diners had the salmon, burger, sirloin and pork chop and they all raved at how nice it it was. The staff were also very attentive and I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

I have been to this pub sometimes and I can say that it is an elegant and Welcoming environment. Staff is always present and available to customers. I recommend this pub especially to gourmets and more. Everything is cooked and served with art. As for the selection of drinks,it is rich and also of great value.

Great little venue, the transformation from what it used to be like to now is amazing. Ellis is a very amiable barman. We shall return.

Excellent food, but expensive, very friendly and helpful staff

Its had another revamp. There is now a better "pub" feel going on. Decor is tidy and some history on the walls to cover what is after all an historic pub. Food is of standard steak affair. Drinks menu is on point. Staff are all happy enough. It might last a bit longer than the last attempt.

A newly decorated restaurant which feels more opulent and cosy. Went for the Sunday lunch menu and wasn’t disappointed. Came with seasonally vegetables, and individual pots of gravy. All food sourced locally. Staff were attentive and polite. Would recommend a visit. Bill came with complimentary tickets for the Richard 111 visitors centre which was a nice surprise.

The food, service, atmosphere decor and drink selection is top notch. It's fast becoming my first choice in Leicester to take customer's, friends visitors too. Try the Veal Chop and chilli and garlic broccoli washed down with a pint of Budvar!

This place has transformed into serving the best steaks in Leicester, also awesome service, great decor and dinks selection 👌

Lovely sunday lunch almost perfect. Small criticism - please make sure your plates are very hot as food cools quickly. Food plentiful, service attentive but not overbearing. We will be back!!

Nice, not as good as before, new ownership lacks the passion & live for traditional pub meets good food

First time here since the New owners and refurb . Great food and staff. Will definitely be back -can’t recommend enough.

Visited the other day after hearing good reviews from work colleagues. Was not disappointed, the food was amazing and the service by the assistant manager Ellis and the other team members was excellent. After seeing pictures of their Sunday roasts I'll definitely be back to try that too!

Nice place clean and reasonable priced

Stopped in for a drink and ended up staying for dinner. Spinach gnocchi with truffle was absolutely delicious - really enjoyed dinner. Thank you for having us!

Dropped into here for a drink and decided to eat here too. A variety of lagers and ales available. The back “Chop House” Restaurant is lovely and clean with a unique decor, the menus is varied for all courses and the food we ordered was absolutely delicious, the staff were very chatty and friendly and always on hand, definitely worth a visit.

First time we came was for a quick drink and to check out the place after the refurb. The place looks fantastic and after seeing the menu we had to visit again and this time no driving. When we came for dinner we ordered the duck, the lamb and extra greens and fries. Both dishes were beautifully presented and just as beautiful to eat! We also had an amazing bottle of wine to go with it. Definitely recommend to visit and experience the lovely atmosphere, the great staff and the amazing food!

Nice size dinner. Attentive staff. Well cooked beef will be going back

Visited with my wife for my birthday. Food was really good and the service was excellent. Its a small restaurant which makes it very intimate. Would really recommend this place, especially the veal chop and double pork chop.

Went for Sunday lunch, lovely place, staff very good and the bone on sirloin was amazing!! Thank you, we’ll be back.

Nice ambience, intimate setting with historical decor

If you like Czech beer, you can have a real Budvar here. I like this place.

Meet a friend for lunch and had a nice meal. The staff are really nice too! It's in a handy part of town so you can nip off to do a spot of shopping afterwards.

Fantastic first experience of the new Richard III, staff couldn't do enough for us for my wife's birthday and the food was fantastic, I would definitely recommend to anyone

A superb chop house/bar with a great menu (try the nduja mash) and superb wines and ales. The staff are also a reason for such a great review!

My husband cooks a great steak.... but this steak sandwich was just as good as his. The steak was perfectly medium rare with a delicious beef dripping sauce and well seasoned chips. The salad was even good. £8.50 seemed like a reasonable price for a fantastic work lunch. We will be back!

Absolutely loved the meal we had here, the robata grilled steak was the best steak I have ever had. We will definitely return.

Yes,Ask, Winking Willy's and Golden Grid are fine but try King Richard 111 for a varied and excellent choice of meals. The giant Yorkshire pudding with roast beef is superb as is the service.

We had been to the King Richard III pub / restaurant prior to its refurb and takeover by posh pubs and really enjoyed it. But dinner in the renewed KR III pub & chophouse was fantastic to say the least.

drinks after having dinner at wagamamas and what a difference to the place, vibrant, mixing with the old and new place

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.

Went here for a business lunch and was blown away. The steak sandwich was epic. The steak itself was well cooked and so tender. The peppercorn sauce was delicious. The chips were perfect. Even the salad was good. All for £8.50. Nice touches in terms of outside decor. Great staff. I will be back... a lot!!

We were at the pub today part of our Marketing Voice wednesday do. Great good and lovely staff
