The Black Dog Of Oadby in Oadby and Wigston

Not sure if they do food, but beer was good, plenty of staff so not waiting long at the bar. : )

Cracking footy quiz for Macmillan, fun atmosphere

Just the one visit. Made to feel welcome. Nice draught beer. 🍺🍺

Just had a drink. Comfy boozer, great beer quality

This is my 3rd visit to The Black Dog. In my experience the staff are exceptional and very welcoming. They take exceptional pride in their work. Their policy is that the customer is royalty. The atmosphere is fantastic and everyone knows each other and are very friendly. Customers are always welcome and well behaved, always looked after by the staff. The new customers are also quickly accustomed by the staff and welcomed by the existing customers. Sports and entertainment are well catered for. The food is excellent and there is a various amount of restaurants accepted in this establishment. Disco and Karaoke is an excellent experience for both existing regulars and visiting customers. Everyone is always welcome in this establishment and happy to join in

Visited on a Thursday evening for a drink, maybe food. When we arrived, we found out that you could order food from a nearby restaurant and it would be delivered to eat in the pub. This sounded great! The bar has a good range of beers, including 2 excellent local ales, one of which was Everard's Tiger. Both were in good condition and very nice. They also sold a wide range of sweet and savoury snacks. The pub has a juke box, several TVs and lots of different areas with different kinds of seating to enjoy the atmosphere. There is also a large covered courtyard area outside which we took advantage of. We had a few pints and a delicious Indian meal and a thoroughly good evening. What really made the experience great was the fantastic staff. They were helpful ,confident, welcoming and very accommodating. Pubs can be places where a new visitor feels a bit uncomfortable or out of place, but this was definitely not the case. The 2 young people working when we visited were both really great examples of good hospitality and we really thought that they do a fantastic job.

Easily the BEST pub in Oadby, great to have such a historical asset still being put to great use! Landlords Kulla & Ronnie are doing a BRILLIANT job and are fantastic hosts. Viva TBD!

Wonderful cosy pub brilliant landlord, No food, we didn't go for food

Outstanding samosas. Freshly made. Great ale. Fantastic approach to customer. Top class management with face to face banter which added to the personal element of the overall experience. Will I return- most definitely.

Good choice of drinks hard working staff

Excellent local pub, very friendly atmosphere. The staff are very helpful and sociable. I visited with a dog and was made very welcome.

34 years old and the best pub I've visited.

very impresed with black dog must of been difficolt times for ya in last 3 years my rear bumper was scretched while having a couple of pints in beer garden just noticed after driving home be careful with parking in oadby

The experience was great, the bar is pretty spacious and designed aesthetically, the bartender was very friendly and nice too.

Great traditional pub, good selection of draft beers, and good and friendly atmosphere

Well kept lovely clean proper pub.

Plenty variety of drinks from the pump. Was cosy and staff were really friendly. A roomy as well. Will definitely return 👍🏼

Great service and atmosphere. A brilliant local with a legend for a landlord

Love little gem, always a very welcoming atmosphere and the owners are so lovely!

A great pub… with a brilliant Atmosphere… not many places you can walk into and feel welcomed straight away

Expensive rip off never going back

It's a pub they make you feel welcome and their is some good characters just got back from there hic

Not found a better pub in Oadby

Lovely place, very friendly owners, definitely recommend 😊😊

Can never be sure when this pub closes every evening Not good for visiting after 10pm as landlord often just close on a whim …

Good beer good staff good pub What more can I say ?

Lovely place great atmosphere 👌

The loveliest staff in Leicester! Such a lovely and inviting place, very friendly, great beer answered snacks from Bibis next door, my favourite pub by far! X

Easy going. Good pint. Had fun.

Great place to have a drink and meet people good service

Decent Pub, good for watching Sky sports on the big screen, decent beer.

This is a great pub if you like music and having a good time.be careful if you park in the car park it's easy to miss the sign saying you need to register your car.I was concentrating on not clipping the wall and ending up getting a £60 parking notice.This was my first visit so the manager has agreed to sort out for me.any way beware and enjoy a really good pub.

Went for an open mic event. Staff very friendly and pub has a good vibe. It's very much a football pub with big screen TV and lots of football themed decoration. Games room outside with table tennis and skittles. There did seem to be a lot of kids running around. Drinks are mainstream brands. 2 handpulls for real ale but no real cider on offer (only thatchers on draught plus a selection of bottled fruit ciders like old moult) will be back for more music but if you are a real ale/cider drinker the choice may be disappointing.

Great night great atmosphere and support apart from the police and the security

Fantastic place to meet and drink

Allows dogs and has a couple real ales

Great pub, friendly staff, good choice of beer and gins

Went here in boxing day and what a lovely family run pub great staff and excellent place

Proper pub nothing fancy but friendly

A bit rough but a good friendly atmosphere

Popped in to watch the football. great atmosphere, good beer, and lovely staff, and the locals very friendly too, wish it was my local....

The Black Dog in Oadby has been my local for a few years now but I’ve never before reviewed it on Trip Advisor. It’s a proper community pub with a fantastic landlord and landlady in Ronnie and Kully and plenty or characters that will welcome you to this very friendly pub. There is a good selection of beers plus sport, music and jukebox available every day and they normally have some entertainment on Saturdays. The main thing that comes across when you visit however is the age range of the clientele where young and old mix together with total respect and simply have fun. What a great pub !

Visited here Saturday lunchtime for drinks and food but was told that they do food anymore. I wasn't if that was all the the time or just lunchtime only. I didn't enquire as I was disappointed. The service was good.All the facilities are good.Beer choice was good. Beer served was good.Overall satisfied, just shame about food!! I hope the landlord will sort this (food).

Lovely atmosphere, great landlord, tdajjw lovely pub

Fantastic pub back to being great again, helpful friendly staff great selection of real ales, draught beers, ciders and bottled beer, plus a seperate a gin bar. Fantastic for watching sports, with a great beer garden with a good smoking areas,. This is the oldest pub in Oadby with a great history and reputation this is not lost, friendly welcoming to travelers old and new, culturley diverse in every way. Old style pub feel that has kept up with a modern day, this is a must for a drink in Oadby

New car parking system did not realise it cost me £100 because I didn't register my car staff didn't say anything

Best pub around. Nice people and good drinks

Terrible food, ok atmosphere however, bad service and I mean bad bad. The lamb was dry and disgusting. Disappointed.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, quick service and lovely locals.

Good atmosphere, enjoyed the company. Drank more Tiger than I had planned!

Jazz night where artists left stage back in few minutes never to return . Beer expensive mild at £3.66 and small scratching £1.40. A few customers and staff tried to out shout musicians not for me.

This pub is nearly always empty more bar staff than customers!Some of the bar staff can be friendly but found the new "bar manager' extremely rude and lacks customer service. Owners never there and they always make me feel uncomfortable and judged. Will not be returning anytime soon. Overall not a nice community pub bring back the last owners

Nice pub but so expensive even compared to other everards pubs

Lovely quiet pub run by great people.

After a days shopping in Leicester, decided to stop off for a bite to eat and this places popped up on a search for a place on our route home. Glad we did , fantastic food and reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff.

Met Gary, as he was on his way to The Black Dog. He'd prepared this delicious meal and was going to serve to the regulars - for free. Top man, great pub.

Nice place, but bit too loud to have a chat. Of someone want to listrn a music and have a drink then would recommend it.

Excellent service, the owner is extremely considerate and helpful. Nice selection of different draft beers and if that isn't enough, plenty of bottled beers to choose from. Additionally, the gin selection is quite extensive and you can also get a variety of other things. All in all, the atmosphere is like in a stereotypical British pub. And I don't mean that in a bad way at all. If you're looking for a great pub to pass time at or for meeting up with friends, look no further.

Slow service very busy,nip to gin bar and bring one or two back.

Nice atmosphere, good selection of drinks, good smoking area.

Popped in for a last drink after visiting Oadby, the last drink turned into about 4-5 more with dancing and singing too!!! Maybe shots as well lol Everyone was really friendly even the bouncer that asked us to leave as they were closing lol

Went to black dog yesterday with friends for a Christmas meal and night out . Food was fantastic and loads of it. Great atmosphere, lovely music and really enjoyed the night . Would recommend for a good night out , host is top notch !!

We went with a group of 10 for our Xmas dinner, the food was gorgeous with excellent service, a really good atmospheric pub with a wide variety of beers. I will definitely organise my Xmas dinner there again, and definitely will be taking my weekly custom there.

From the moment we walked in we were made very welcome by the landlord Ron and his team. Very courteous and attentive. The pub is a hidden gem full of character and charm. The selection of beers is varied as are the spirits. The food is excellent value, with ample portions and a good home made menu selection. We passed on our compliments in person to the chef as our dish was cooked to perfection and was on par with much more expensive restaurants. We will definitely be back again and if you are ever in Oadby and searching for a local pub with good food this is the one!

Visited the Black Dog on a Saturday night for food and drinks. The food from the Christmas menu was absolutely fantastic . Not only where the portions sizes very generous , the food was very well seasoned, tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff and landlord were extremely friendly and the whole atmosphere within the pub was warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this place if you want quality beer, tasty food all set within a lovely ambience.

This is nice friendly pub with rear car park. Good Beer. Good friendly locals and service. Lots of seating area. There is pool table. Worth a visit.

Staff friendly, food nice. Just a bit noisy with football fans, but would visit again.

Fantastic night made very welcome great landlord from landlord of the 1852 Carl

Excellent, one of the best pubs i've ever been too. Good beer, good pool table and a jukebox to boot. Would recommend to anyone. The manager/owner Ronnie is hospitable and friendly and makes every customer feel welcome.

Friendly service and great venue. Ronnie the owner, even greeted us and wished us well on the way out. Chef is coming in three week, we shall return to sample the menu.

Nice enough pub, with plenty of room. Only two people in at a Tuesday lunchtime, possibly because they don't do food.

Great pub with great interiorwith skittle alley and footy on tele.. pool room too Landlord and locals a really friendly welcoming lot ...no food served but great place to visit on pub crawl to racetrack ..Good lager on tap Bier Morreti great selectionot gins for the women too....Defo visit again when in area .

Looks great after the refurb and the new owners seem lovely.

Very nice pub since the renovation with good selection

Lovely traditional pub with history. A friendly family run pub. Tasty Sunday carvery. Give it a go.

Great atmosphere. Chilled out during the week, busy and vibey on the weekend evenings.

This pub has been upgraded and is very nice inside, but is a little pricey

A great family get together with traditional skittle alley food. The venue was lovely, cold but we are talking December. I highly recommend trying a skittle alley night, it brings everyone together and laugh.

Love this pub! Good beer with a lovely comfy feel. Love it! Would recommend trying their cocktails when they're available.

Good atmosphere,friendly bar staff...a good night .

Nice little place with good choice of beers.

not fresh, mixed spatulas to pick up the food, and a bit of a dead pub overall. the meat wasnt tasty or hot either

Lovely food, quality. Left very stuffed. The poor lad was serving on his own has the chef has packed in . He did a fantastic job . Our first visit to the pub and wont be the last.

Great place, I really don't get to go here as much as. Like.

Great food great vibe and excellent staff! Really enjoyed the night their and will be back! 👍

This place is amazing . The new landlord and landlady kully and Ronnie are absolutely the loveliest people I have met . They both are friendly and accommodating. This was my first visit and went with family. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the carvery was 10 out of 10. I would recommend this little gem to everyone . The indoor and outdoor area is clean and well decorated as well as inviting . I have even pre booked my birthday party there in September. I have been to many bars and pubs but rate this one the best in oadby . Well done guys and we will see you again very soon for the delicious food and drinks and company. Ricky and Pam and family

Love this pub - such a friendly feel and good service. Ronnie and Cullie go over and above to make you feel welcome and relaxed 😃

New Landlord and Landlady are really nice, pub has a nice cosy atmosphere and is clean and tidy, outside seating is nice and I'm informed they do a lovely Sunday lunch which I will be trying very soon, definitely be going back

Wish I could give more stars, really good atmosphere and the food is puka

Always friendly and the staff are great

I have been here several times and for Sunday lunch and for about £8.00 it is exceptional and the food in the evenings is also very good.

Great beer and staff brilliant atmosphere Very welcoming

Cosy atmosphere and fantastic food

We called in for a quick drink & decided to stay for some food. Couldn't fault it, we only had burgers, but they was lovely. Quick & Friendly service, nice ambience & fairly priced.

Friendly bar tender, told me to sit down and watch the game and he'd bring drinks over. Excellent service.
