The Corn Exchange in Leicester

Everything you would expect from a spoons! Decent beer, fast service

Very, very bad. There's a nervous employee who's late opening the office. This is the fifth time I'm going there. I'm not going to the street. I'm not going to pass through there. I'm not getting my kids' cards. There's one employee.

Your average Witherspoons, good cheep food at a good price!

Go every week alway coffiee food and drink all staff very good.

Really enjoyed the food. Staff and environment sat upstairs bar and in the centre of the town. Superb 👌

One of the best wetherspoons I've been to

Had the 'hangover' breakfast in here with our stag party. This is a really nice Spoons. The building is gorgeous, with a mezzanine upper floor with a bar as well as a massive bar on the ground floor. Decent staff and of course, the app works great.

Poor service from bar staff. You can stand in queue and staff move over to serve someone who has arrived after you. Need to keep eye on who is in queue. And make it so you only serve from front of bar instead of all three sides.

Typical spoons, good food, good beer, good prices and staff that are all over it

I recently visited the Corn Exchange Bar, and while I can’t deny that the place itself has a great atmosphere and is beautifully designed, my experience with the service left a lot to be desired. After waiting at the bar for a while, I politely asked a staff member if I could be served, only to be met with an unnecessarily rude response: 'Can’t you see I’m doing work?' I understand that everyone has tasks to complete, but a simple acknowledgment or courteous reply would have made all the difference. It’s disappointing when great venues don’t match up with the level of service expected. I hope the management can address this issue because the place has so much potential to be amazing.

Great value pub, lots of seats and tables. Good service.

Amazing staff. This company has the best professional style. Imagine a hotel and greggs in wetherspoons . Classic

Fantastic meeting place no meal this time round great atmosphere for its age first visit not the last. Thank you

Avoid Steak Pudding! It is the worst cooked one I have ever had, it looks ok, but the suet case is rock hard instead of soft. Save your money! The fish and chips would be a better option!

kicked out because we were sat near a table with a gurl who went over the top. :/

Waiting 30 miniatures for my bottled cider, it doesn’t even need pouring…

Music playing at a wetherspoons pub!. Ok for 20 to 30 year olds

I have been cautious to leave this review but my experience is was truly appalling, for a start I saw 2 members of staff across from the coffee machines fending off flies that were hovering around drinks and sitting on “clean” glasses. The staff members were truly rude and un attentive to customers too lost in their own conversations. I over heard 2 ladies discussing their colleagues and being inappropriate regarding them. I saw a live cockroach crawling around the floor and several rats running around outside the front doors. All around a terrible experience would not recommend to anyone who values hygiene

Decent Wetherspoon's pub about ten minutes walk from Leicester Railway Station. Six cask beers on handpump when I visited. Plenty of outdoor seating. As the name suggests, the pub is located in a former Corn Exchange built in 1850. It is a grade II* listed building.

The staff were extremely rude the entire visit. Constantly staring at our table. Took chips away from the table and it took them almost 15 to do anything with them. The same chips were then returned almost cold

Fantastic choice of fresh fish, and meats. Definitely worth a visit

Had a great time catching up with friends

Decent food swrved quick. Very lively place, very helpful staff

Walked in and was asked what I would like to order without being provided a menu, then once I received the food it was cold and there was flies on it. The table service was also poor

Chicken wings and chicken bites were delicious!

Good food, great drinks, service a little slow but it’s busy. Well done s guys.

It's spoons innit. About what you expect

Had a drink with a colleague after work. Good atmosphere, not so loud we couldn't talk. Surprised there was only 1 small screen for the football although that didn't bother us as we weren't interested

Been here 5 times this week. Up here for musical, can't beat weatherspoons for value.

We stopped off here, on our visit to Leicester, for a spot of Breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, very good food. Recommended.

Need to clean the toilet handles on exit/entrance Apart from that a lovely £10 bottle of rose

Lovely historic place for a witherspoons

Food Cold. Glasses Dirty. Knifes and Forks Dirty. Tables were a mess. Most had chairs missing. Unfortunately. Couldn't be bothered to complain about cold food. Did take my Pepsi back as it was completely flat

Nice spoons. Didn't eat here. But had nice air con rest, and ice cool 😎 refreshments. 🍻🥂

Been here a lot recently, a good spoons branch with a quick service most of the time.

We all know what to expect from a 'Spoons, but we also like to have a certain level, even budget. I can't fault this place. We used the app for table service which was very friendly and efficient and the food was really good. Nice surroundings, good food and a smile. It's a thankless task working in food and drink, but Wetherspoons should be proud to have such friendly hard-working staff here.

The Corn Exchange is the perfect Pub to start your night out, unlike other Weatherspoons Pubs the Corn Exchange has music and a happy, lively atmosphere. The service is quick and the staff are friendly and helpful. I've only eaten here once and the food was good ( not great, but nice enough ), maybe better on another day. Nice Pub to take a family to, easy access for disabled people and the prices are very reasonable 👍😃

Typical wetherspoons, great space, friendly, hard working staff and great value for money!

It's a very roomy place, With two levels, The food is tasty & hot, The prices for the ale are brilliant

Serve slow due to short of staff, they see you standing there & go off & serve someone else 🙄

Nice food let's hope they enhance the corn exchange pub in with the new things there doing in Leicesters old Market place

Not a bad place, however, It could be improved. That is constructive criticism, so not all bad

A strong branch of Weatherspoons with staff which are attentive and largely on the ball, even at the busiest of times. Order via the mobile app (which is great, keep it) and trust it to arrive in good time.

Is a nice Wetherspoons. Lots of uni students so it was lively.

The staff were lovely and managed to keep up with the rush despite there only being 4 on shift and the security said my bag was cute

Called in for dinner expecting usual Spoons, there was music playing on the loudspeakers so we left and ate elsewhere..

Not sure what to make of the pub to be honest. We only went in for a drink and it's possibly a good job if the mutterings from the table near us were anything to go by. Their food was apparently 'horrific'. As reviews go it wasn't the best. For a quick drink the pub served it's purpose without being anything to write home about. We certainly didn't feel like having another drink and were more than happy to move on to pastures new. The nearby table were still complaining and the words, 'utterly disgusting' were the last we heard as we departed...

The pizza surprised me... it was very good... for a pub

I want to point out a server called Joe tonight. He spotted me everytime and knew my drink. He took time to speak to me one on one. A thoroughly nice young man

Standard Wetherspoons. Reasonable food and good service at reasonable prices.

Love it here with great service and great food. The selection of alcohol is perfect and a fantastic atmosphere to match it. Recommend this for groups of friends to go to.

My First time having a vegetarian breakfast at weatherspoons.. it’ was spot on lovely it was lush and great friendly staff 10/10 Breakfast

Great breakfast....Good price! Easy and quick to order!! Only problem is the place is full of piss heads!! But if u like a drink, not a problem...never no trouble and people keep themselves to themselves. Cheap drink, cheap nice food. Great staff. Win win!!

My only concern his the younger staff at Lloyds are very perlite ect,but on buser times,can be very slow and ,sometimes not awhere of who's next,which, has caused alittle bit of unrest within the customer's.

I really enjoyed the food and beers. Only the service wasn’t attentive and it was a bit complicated to order. I noticed that they were understaffed as the dishwasher corner was overloaded. Nonetheless the atmosphere was good and I liked the historic feel of the space.

Very busy pub! Poor staff having to clear up after some feral people, bringing outside food in and leaving the wrappings all over floor and table.

I came here not intending to buy food, but considering I had just finishes a gym session, I needed some food. I started with a pint of Shipyard, which was superbly kept and obviously the lines were cleaned well. I then went for the spicy half chicken with chips with a pint of Worthingtons. The pint arrived before the food, which was a good gesture. When the food arrived the plate was nice and warm, the chips were cooked in fresh oil, and the chicken itself was fresh and hot, and moist, and well seasoned with sauce seemingly to have been pumped into the meat. The plate was finished off with a pot of naga sauce and a pot of coleslaw. A very pleasant meal to have for a quick lunch and it seems the Corn Exchange hit the mark this time. Long may it continue.

Pretty active. Better off ordering at the bar cause the app takes a while.

Used to love this pub. Hadn't been for a while. Went yesterday for a meal with my partner ordered 2 large mixed grills 1 medium and 1 well done. When the plates came out they were both missing fried eggs and were both very well done. Reported that a waiter came out with a small plate with 2 undercooked fried eggs. Upon closer inspection of the pile of meat it was very clearly not the 4 different meats it's should be. I called a waiter over and spoke to him he just said "yes I know what you mean it does look similar but there is pork, chicken, lamb and steak." So after cutting into my meat and tasting it I had 1 gammon, 2 pork and a piece of lamb. My partner had 4 pieces of steak only. The only thing on the whole plate that still tasted nice was the chips and onion rings. Really disappointed overall that our complaints at the time were not taken more seriously and rectified.

Decent spoons with a great atmosphere before the rugby

Nice Modern pub. Plenty of tables.

Nice place, highly recommend the Octopus burger 👍🏻

Great place to have a good time with your mates. Fair pricing for food and drink and service is great

good selection of beers, also ales - very good jalfrezi nice pub atmosphere from 11 o'clock

Only stayed for coffee great value coffee keep it up spoons

Although fairly busy on a Friday, we got our big plates fast and hot 🔝🍻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

As any weatherspoons, cheap, quick service, not bad place really. Large building, enough space. Not too bizy. GROUND FLOOR TOILETS

Decent pub but bar staff were useless.

Yes it's cheap, but that is the level of service you get. Ordered breakfast today, estimated wait time 20 minutes. Went to the bar after waiting ages to see where my food was. Member of staff told me it had 'only' been 36 minutes and should hopefully only be 5 more. Very disappointing.

Nice place to go if in city centre lovely food n very clean friendly staff 👌 😀

We chose the Coin Exchange for a young womens 21st birthday with friend's and family meal, but also because my son has a nut allergy and it is the only pub that my son can have anything off the menu without the nut allergy being an issue. It's value for money especially as time are hard financially for a lot of us. Also I'd like to give a shout out to Warren (a credit to Witherspoons) the duty manager who went above and beyond to make sure all ours needs were met. WITHERSPOONS YOU HAVE A REAL GEM IN THE HEART OF LEICESTER.

At first glance The Corn Exchange just looks like another Wetherspoons pub, but beneath those majestic stairs a place is breath-taking sight of two immaculate bars, armed with multiple shimmering taps with enough beer to satiate even the most gluttonous of Pub-lords, alongside an entire arsenal of spirit bottles containing the finest ambrosia ever to be conceived and the most exquisite wines that are crafted to perfection. These luxurious fluids are presented and made by extremly talented and charismatic artists known as Bar Associates who always present their work to the customers with beauty and flair. Each one of their creations are works of art that stay with you for the rest of your life. Being a student who must embark through the streets Leicester City Centre after an eternity of study at my establishment of education and who doesn't have a lot of free time, I always make pause my journey here to take a break from the immensely busy life I have chosen to pursue. It's one of the only places that makes me feel like I can close off my mind from all that exists beyond the walls of this historical monument. Upon each visit I make to this divine tavern I am lost in thought deciding on the upcoming banquet that I am about to consume, as the selection of delectable feasts on offer is as broad as the city it is located in. From the pinnacle of all dishes known as the "All Day Brunch" to the short bursts of magic that is the "Boneless Basket" there is little something for everyone and the quality of each dish is sublime. The chefs in that kitchen are some of the most remarkable geniuses I have ever encountered. In conclusion my many experiences at the Corn Exchange are memories that I will cherish for rest of my life. If you reside in the city of Leicester then no other establishment in the this fine city will satisfy you quite like The Corn Exchange.

The perfect pub for scum, tramps and weirdo's. Avoid.

To busy chatting among staff to serve waiting customers breakfast cold

always loved this pub has great people and great drinks. still concerned about the entrance but is what it is

When I stepped into this pub for the very first time last September, I wasn't really a pub-goer, and hadn't been to a lot of Wetherspoons before. Since then however, I feel like I've become somewhat of a regular. Whether I'm coming in for a quick XIX Vodka and Pepsi (no ice and a bit of fruit) before an event, or I've come in for a slap-up meal and a long night of drinking with the mates, I'm never let down by anything. The food is made as quickly as possible and always looks so good that you don't want to eat it (but then you remember how truly delicious it is, so you eat it as swift as Taylor). The same can be said for the drinks - and hey, the drinks always taste sweeter here because of how friendly the servers are here. And it's not just the servers, all of the staff here are super nice, with incredible skills to match (some good training that the managers have implemented, very clearly). I've met chefs, and some of the cleaners as well as the servers - the Corn Exchange is a machine, and all of the cogs are in place and working smoothly. They're always happy to welcome new people into the Wetherspoons family. If you can have one pub to keep in your heart and mind, make it this one.

Good food. Friendly people. Really handsome bearded guy in the kitchen

Great pub, bar is staffed by great people

A Symphony of Gastronomic Delight at The Corn Exchange: Allow me to regale you with the tale of my recent soirée at The Corn Exchange, an opulent oasis nestled within the heart of the bustling cityscape. From the moment I crossed the threshold, I was enveloped in an aura of refined elegance, where the confluence of grandeur and conviviality danced harmoniously. Upon perusing the menu, my senses were enraptured by the symphony of culinary masterpieces on offer, each dish meticulously crafted to tantalize the palate and elevate the soul. From the succulent sirloin steak, cooked to absolute perfection, to the exquisitely indulgent vegetarian options that left me in a state of gastronomic euphoria, every morsel was a testament to the culinary prowess of the esteemed chefs. But it was not merely the delectable fare that enraptured my senses; it was the ambiance, the ambiance that transported me to a bygone era of sophistication and refinement. The resplendent decor, reminiscent of a grand Victorian parlour, provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of revelry and indulgence. The soft glow of the ambient lighting, coupled with the gentle hum of laughter and conversation, created an atmosphere of unparalleled warmth and camaraderie. And let us not forget the libations! Ah, the libations! The Corn Exchange boasts an extensive selection of libations to suit even the most discerning of palates. From the velvety smoothness of the finest single malt whiskies to the effervescent effusion of the most exquisite champagne, each sip was a revelation, a testament to the artistry of the master mixologists behind the bar. But perhaps what truly sets The Corn Exchange apart is the impeccable service. From the moment I was graciously ushered to my table by the impeccably attired staff to the moment I bid adieu, every interaction was imbued with a sense of genuine warmth and hospitality that is all too rare in this modern age. In conclusion, my dear compatriots, if you find yourself in search of an experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further than The Corn Exchange. It is a veritable haven for the epicurean soul, a bastion of refinement in an increasingly chaotic world. Let us raise our glasses in salute to this veritable jewel in the crown of culinary excellence. Cheers!

I don’t even know where to start so I think I’ll just say… coor blimey, never in my life have I been to such a pleasant and clean pub before and I’ve been drinking for 30+ years, ginger bloke I think his name was worren was very helpful and the kitchen manager personally came and delivered our food, her name was Elaine I think. Great experience all around

Had a lovely time - great food as always would definitely recommend trying some of the menu. A lovely boy provided great service (I think he said his name was josh)

Have so many great memories here. Met my bestest friend in this spoons

Really like the atmosphere, always buzzing and always has people. Truly unparalleled compared to high cross

Had small fish, chips and peas. The food was very tasty and portion size was just enough for me. The service was excellent, would recommend this place to friends 5*

Food is always great and drink always great value , not sure why pub always has a strange smell when you walk in

First off the building itself is great. Popped in for breakfast with the wife one morning, food was a good standard and simple to order on the app. Staff seemed friendly and I can imagine a lively atmosphere on the weekend evenings

Curry night at a Wetherspoons is always a great value meal. Where else can you get a tasty tikka or korma, rice, naan, poppadoms and a pint for less than £12

Always a great place to visit when shopping in town! Drinks are very reasonably priced and coffee ,tea and hot chocolate top ups are free😁👍 Food is good and the food service is quick! Lovely atmosphere and friendly people of all ages groups😁

Very quick service even though it was a busy lunch time

It’s a decent Wetherspoons, but you do wait quite a while sometimes for drinks and food.

Best thing about it is my pitcher man, he’s a real one frfr ❤️
