Sir Robert Peel in Leicester

Great pub. Cosy atmosphere. We had a coffee which was excellent

An excellent pub which has such charm. We often come on an evening to have one drink, and end up staying for multiple because it’s such a nice atmosphere. The log fire in winter is just gorgeous. Especially love the Thursday pub quiz and the new owners are fantastic, such a welcoming environment!

This pub, in my opinion, is one of the few genuine gems which remain in the city. A proper pub always serving a great selection of ales with a suitable but simple food offering to complement the drinks menu. A really characterful building which I hope can be preserved amongst the faceless concrete developments around it. I only wish I lived closer and I would drink there more often.

A great match day traditional back street boozer.

Lovely to be in a traditional pub that has friendly dogs to greet you. The pub has stalls, coasters on the beams and a nice atmosphere.

It's not really an eating pub but it's very cosy yet has lots of parts to it.

It was nice and clean. The toilets were spotless. Went there when there was hardly anybody there.

Fantastic local pub, that’s recently been taken over by new management and they’re working wonders on the place! Absolutely chilled atmosphere inside with plenty of cosy seating, smoking area and garden outside. Lovely fireplaces that are lit during the colder months. Ample selection of beers on tap and bottles. Plus everything is an absolute bargain!

Great traditional pub...Glen and Caz are super friendly. Held friends Retirement party there last month. Cold buffet that Glen and Caz laid on was delish...deffo value for money, plenty of variety and hot buffet choice looks great too! Great atmosphere with nice little beer garden....bonus! Deffo a must to visit and sample; including the liquid menu too...great variety! Thank you both for your hospitality 😀

Lovely 'old school' pub with great beers and excellent staff. They don't make 'em like this any more - spot on 👍👍👍

Only nipped in for a couple today, been before for a few. Lovely pub, staff are very welcoming. Well worth the visit!!

Great landlords. Very welcoming and as an open mic night every first Monday of the month

It's much better under the new management.They are making fans feel welcome which makes financial sense!We went yesterday after the City v Birmingham game:-)

Just started to re use this pub again on match days since being taken over. They’ve got it spot on with serving simple cobs and proper puka pies ( unlike the piglets things they now sell down king power). Perfect before and after the match. This is a big factor of our visits now .

Great little pub renewed under new landlords. Cazz and Glen absolutely make this place mixing previous regulars with the newer crowd coming in for the increasing range of offerings including food, quizzes and more! Solid food offering at a very reasonable price. Blown away by the chilli topped nachos my friend ordered they looked absolutely insane. Good range of drinks including all the usual suspects and some more interesting ales etc. Definitely give it a visit!

One of those pubs with that 'your 2nd living room feel'. No wonder it as already a nice level of full early evening on a Wednesday. Best pint of ale I've had in a while: Everards Phoenix. Landlady was lovely too.

Glen and Caz have done a smashing job since they took over. I visit many pubs and you rarely get more than your order at the bar and a friendly hello/enjoy. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just these two go above and beyond to make you feel incredibly welcome and it’s somewhere I now frequently visit and prioritise over other establishments. Constantly adding great new additions as well such as food, darts, open mic and quizzing whilst also allowing plenty of opportunity for a quiet drink as well. These are exactly the sort of landlords the city needs.

Grand pub, lovely people, great atmosphere, and home to a brilliant Chester. If you haven't experienced a Chester before, you owe it to yourself to visit this outstanding example! Good food too.

What a gem of a pub, great atmosphere, super friendly and welcoming landlords. it's a shame we don't anything like this in calverton.

Great evening thank-you. Excellent service lovely pub food great value very friendly and definitely worth a visit 😀

Couldnt say a bad word about this place.

Spent the evening in this lovely pub celebrating my birthday. The new landlords (Glen & Carolyn) are an amazingly friendly couple and made us very welcome. The atmosphere in there is just perfect; great background music, warm log fire and drinks aplenty. Bar staff (Jade) attentive and the wonderful pub dog Chester for company. Thanks for a great evening; we’ll definitely be back!

Since the new owners - Glen and caz - took over in December 2023, I have seen huge difference. Love to see local pub getting busy and they really do make you feel welcomed. The atmosphere don't feel somber. There's alot of fun and banter with the owners/locals. They host fun quizes on Thursday night! I recommend visiting them and show the support.

Myself and my partner have been going to the Robert peel pub for 18 years, as it's our local. The new owners Caz and glen what a breath of fresh air, they are welcoming, friendly such a great atmosphere, Chester the family dog he's absolutely gorgeous so friendly but is an old dog who likes to lay by the fire, Thursday quiz nights are fun great atmosphere. Great music, back ground music. Great pub would highly recommend this pub, also all the bar staff are so friendly but one in particular is jade who also is a great person.

I would never normally post a review when I haven’t visited the premises for a year since new owners have taken over. However, there are some very confusing messages which are actually misleading. Last month, I asked a question on Google as to whether dogs are still permitted. Now, I am very much a technophobe so honestly, I don’t know the difference between asking a question on Google and finding an email to contact someone. After no response to my question, I had my more technologically abled friend find me a “contact form” which then enabled me to have a conversation with the owner “Glen”, who informed me that if I was trying to get a hold of the previous owner, this message had obviously been “lost in translation” - I don’t know what was lost in translation about asking if dogs are still allowed , but maybe he meant because the previous owners had Scottish accents? Again, my question was not answered. So I persevered and asked again whether our large group would still be able to attend with the dogs? We had done so the previous year and had a fabulous time with great food and drink and conversation with the owners. This was met with a response that our group could be booked in, but no dogs as their dog was aging. I responded saying that was a shame, as the previous owners had accommodated us, despite their dog not particularly taking to all visiting dogs- so we would have to bypass the Peel on this occasion. All we were asked to do on previous visit was to keep to a specified area and the dogs on the lead. This was met by another response making excuses that the dog was old and deserved his retirement by the fire. This was understandable if not a little frustrating and extreme- never mind the income lost on a weekend with no sport (we specifically planned our visit for that weekend as we knew the pub would be quieter compared to football and rugby). The landlord had also explained to us previously that hot meals are not available on match days. My frustration and anger were picqued when I wandered on to the pubs Facebook page to find lots of pictures of the pub dog and absolutely nothing about other dogs no longer being allowed. The fact that you have those images AND Google still shows that dogs are allowed is misleading. If the new owners feel unable to accommodate a large group, they should have been honest and said so. Thank goodness I did check or that would have been a wasted journey from Frome.

So we had our staff night out on the 13th Saturday the staff sure know how to entertain and keep the party going they sectioned off the part of the pub for us HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Popped in for New Year's Eve after the Tigers game on the last day of an epic three day Rugby tour throughout England. This was without a doubt the best pub I found during all my travels. Great atmosphere, amazing real ales, tasty pies, and a great local crowd. The new Landlords are lovely people and the bartender was spot on. If you enjoy a local pub this is your spot, trust me. Thank you guys for an amazing time, I wish you all the best, I'll be back!

Made welcome. Toilets clean.comfortable.got served reasonably quick

Lovely welcoming pub with a locals feel to it. Great landlords and superbly kept beer. Reasonably priced, but nice, food

Nice pub but atmosphere was a little dull but maybe midafternoon just a quiet time

A great place for a quick buzz. They’ve free Internet here. A cosy atmosphere and they’ve a garden a beautiful one. Smoking area. It is not that small pub. Music 🎼 always great. They’ve food too but didn’t try it yet. They closed at 10 not 11. Such a shame. A great place for locals. Nice and kind lady.

Food for our table came at separate times but was delicious. The small sign outside says "Sir Robert Pees" instead of "Sir Robert Peel"

Lovely little gem of a pub. Friendly service from the wise chap behind the bar.

Lovely relaxing pub with courtyard and decent ales. Ideal for nursing a broken limb after a visit to LRI

Good atmosphere good selection of drinks

This was the nearest pub to our hotel. Quite on the night we went. Friendly staff, happy to let us taste their beer before choosing. A nice ambience.

Lovely little pub, home made food is fantastic

Great real ale pub, very busy on match days

Good friendly pub good choice of beers and ciders and food

Nice buzzy pub, good for an after football pint.

Awesome little pub, very homely. Well kept everards ale (about 4 or 5) including their special/seasonal brews. Serves food and has a whole deserty counter.

Great pub love the beer and the pork pies on match days are very good. Car parking an issue with the big car park companies grabbing every plot of land to rip off drivers. Not the pubs fault as a pub you can't fault it.

Landladys a liar said she would lose her license if she served me alcohol having just been discharged from hospital im 50 yrs old and had my discharge papers . Any adult can have a bad reaction to alcohol hospital or not snobbery at its finest

Nice pub but only person in there on a Tuesday lunch. Probably says more about me than the pub!!

Nice friendly chap one day.....positive visit Obnoxious lady week later......our last visit

Very nice pub,next to the lri lovely atmosphere, beer,food will ve back

I visited Sir Robert Peel to have lunch with friends. The menu is quite broad and service is attentive and courteous. The pub is cosy and, even if small, very accommodating. The manager asked us to preorder the day before our visit. When we arrived and sat at the table, we only waited for a few minutes before having our meals. I had fish (haddock) and chips while friends had fish fingers sandwiches - a quite popular and tasty option offered by staff. However, fish and chips could've been prepared with more attention and served more dignitously. The haddock was slightly overcooked and a tad dry in the inside. Chips were tasty, but not exceptional. More importantly, they didn't look hand cut. The menu presented the fish and chips as accompanied by coleslaw. This was not provided. Lastly, the menu was a tad overpriced if one considers the setting of the establishment (an industrial area close to public offices). In conclusion, a good place to have a pint, but food and offers can be improved.

Proper pub. Little changed since I was a student 40 years ago. Good beer and hot snacks selection.

Went into the Sir Robert Peel tonight after trip to the LRI.Very nice pub and excellent pint

Horrible vile Scottish landlady she’s very rude and aggressive! went in for a quick pint as near the hospital, the pub was empty me and mate sat in corner and she stood there listening to our conversation and when I said the f word she went absolutely nuts wouldn’t let me finish pint and kicked me out! For swearing… in a pub.. gobsmacked. What does she do on a match day when there’s 100 blokes chanting songs in her ‘home’.. will never step foot in that place again hope the old witch drops dead. EDIT: thanks for reply landlady truth hurts doesn’t it! No wonder your home is empty everyday apart from couple of hours before the football! Would help if you could pour a pint your beer is rank and watered down!! Btw it’s your not you’re dumbo learn English!

Everard's Pub with some nice guest options. A very nice pint of Stairway from Burton Bridge and a very decent Titanic Stout. Good Pork Pie too. A little pricey, but a good option on a Tigers match day.

Attended rugby for years and always come to the peel- but staff are letting the place down. Little girl behind bar was unable to communicate appropriately . It felt like pulling teeth and she didn’t want to be there. Beer and food very good however.

A lovely pub run by a lovely Scottish couple. Decor is very welcoming, food and drinks are great.

Extremely poor service before tigers vs falcons. Served by a pale dark haired female who did not have an idea. The manager said she was new, but that does not justify extremely poor service and rudeness. She wasn’t interested in being there.

A pub from days gone by AKA 30 yrs ago when at Poly!

Excellent pub with great beers and snacks. Great service also

Hospitality was wonderful A proper pub

Lovely pub great food and drinks Moira always makes you feel welcome

Best huge slice of traditional pork pie £2.75 I've had in a long time washed down with a refreshing pint of west country cider

Great pub with a wide selection of drinks. And even though I'm an infrequent visitor the landlord always remembers me and my order, can't fault the atmosphere particularly on match day.

Wouldn't rate it at all very disappointed after the comments I had read beforehand

Visited after Leicester Tigers won semi final to get to Twickenham Great atmosphere good beer and another win, what more could you want. Looking forward to visiting again next season Thank you

Great beers. Great staff. Great pub.

Great traditional pub with real ales and good food

I absolutely love this place. Lovely little pub, very welcoming staff especially the landlady Moira and their Dog Noah.

Just been refurbished very clean and fresh. !!

Great pub, great beer, great company

friendly place with good choice of beers

Popped after a visit to the hospital. Excellent little pub complete with range of bar snacks (pork pies, samosas etc) in a chiller. Soup and coffee also available. Good Beer Guide listed. Lovely ambience. Plus Noah the greyhound who puts in a regular appearance!😊

What a find fantastic pub, changed so much from what it was like when I was a student 38 years ago

Haven't been here for ages, but when I went it was very relaxed and nice staff.

An unlikely oasis amongst the area surrounding Leicester Royal Infirmary. Cosy, traditional and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and staff , good range of beers.

it's a nice place to have a drink

it's a nice place to have a drink

Nice pint and a good atmosphere. Can't fault it.

Excellent traditional pub with well-kept handpulled beer. Highly recommended. Next door to LRI.

Great Beer great Price Great place

Lady at door letting I one at a time????? Whatttt

Lovely garden. Friendly staff. I only had one pint, but it was top quality. They obviously look after their beer

I've been using this pub for years. A meeting place before the football. John and Moira the best landlords we have ever had ! Long may that continue!

Good for a drink or 2 before Leicester city match or anytime.

Good old fashioned pub with great beer

Nice pub, lovely garden space, staff were really friendly and helpful.

It is located next to the Royal Infirmary hospital and the Primus Student accommodation, Sir Richard Peel was ex Prime minister of UK during Queen Victoria era,

Made to feel very welcome nice pub.

Very nice, relaxed pub. A nice place to sit and enjoy a pint.

Staff were very friendly but I have a serious concern/problem with the menu. I'm a vegan and I have had bad reactions to dairy when I've consumed it by accident. I was delighted to hear from a friend that this pub had a vegan option! I ordered the "Veggie spicy bean burger - V & VE" from the menu. When it arrived, it came with dairy cheese on it so I had to send it back and was told by staff that if you are vegan, you're supposed to declare this at the bar so that they don't put cheese on it - This isn't stated anywhere on the menu. The ladies behind the bar explained that it was just the burger patty that is vegan so if I wanted it vegan I should have told them when ordering. I had to send it back but i'm suspicious that the spread used on the bun was not dairy free either. This is wrong, misleading and most importantly, dangerous to people who have serious allergies - If someone orders a vegan friendly burger like it says on the menu; that person should expect the dish in its entirety to be fully vegan. I suggest/urge you to check your ingredients for this particular dish and amend your menu to have a disclaimer in order to avoid any confusion or misleading future visitors. Thank you.

The first time i visited and will be the last time i ever visit, rude obnoxious women working there, listening to my conversation with a colleague after work claiming i swore and she stormed over and said no swearing, i felt i was in a childrens school and been told off by the evil head teacher and, rather than an adult pub!!!! price of a CARLING is EXTREMELY OVER PRICED. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

Great beer,great landlord and friendly locals

Lovely pub! Excellent ambiance for a night out with your friends, or an after work drink with your peers. But a good place to bring your loved one as well.. Haven't tasted their food yet, but the smell was amazing! So, planning another visit soon!

Lovely Pub always been one of my favourites nice to take a break from visiting at the Royal !!

Well kept ale, good landlords and staff, nice venue

friendly and welcoming. can't do enough for you. we love it here.

Excellent place and great staff

Dimly lit little place, but nice, good beer and snacks.

Good friendly service, cosy atmosphere and most of all, a great pint!

Really lovely intimate warm traditional pub. Next to the hospital so perfect for whiling away the moments if you are waiting for someone.

Excellent beer, wholesome food and a friendly welcome.
