The Globe in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Brilliant Great staff. And Great pie selection.

Had a work meeting here today and went for the pie and pint offer ( only Thursdays I think ). Food looked amazing and tasted equally good. Service from Bex was fantastic! 5 stars ! Would recommend 👍🏼

Great pub, excellent drinks selection, food was top notch and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. An easy recommend.

I think we entered after a busy session. Staff didn't acknowledge me at the bar whilst I was waiting yo be served. Food was nothing special. The lamb wrap came with a handful of chips. The lamb tasted watery with no flavour, definitely won't be back

Recommended to visit the globe so we did. Lovely old pub , looked ideal. We do not take cash, card only, we were informed, so we beat a hasty retreat, four hungry and thirsty customers left for pastures new. In these recession hit days I would have thought the brewers would be pleased to accept any currency.

Genuine historical public house. Clean tables, friendly staff with good choice of reasonably priced drinks. Ideally located in Lanes area half way between city centre clocktower and King Richard III museum. Lovely pub.

Good food, good atmosphere, great service, good choice on menu, Try the PIE AND CHIPS. Good choice of beers and ales. Apple crumble is yummy too.

As always the experience was amazing. This is the place to visit for your Sunday roast time :) my husband and I keep coming back almost every Sunday and without avail we’re happy with what we getting.

Lovely old school pub, nice pint can tell they look after the lines properly. And decently priced.

Just popped in for a drink, but nonetheless a great experience. Was served by Bexx again, and they were very friendly and attentive, both to me and other customers. The pub was being renovated when I visited, but it did not detract from the experience.

Superb historical pub with wide range of beer selection. Food is very good.

The globe is an excellent pub with great food. A wide array of nice beers for whatever mood you are in. Layla the landlady is very friendly and accommodating to large groups and always lets my group Leicester round table in and looks after us with excellent food that’s more than just traditional pub grub. This is a must visit pub for food and drinks

Amazing food and atmosphere. English cuisine based but a good selection and specials. Diverse drinks as well.

Great place, with a soul.. A pub as it should be.. We will definitely be happy to come back

An amazing place with great food!

Great staff great atmosphere and the beer was well kept, and service was excellent. Redd and Jed were fabulous hosts.

Best roast in Leicester without a doubt 🙏

10/10 forever and a day. Best roast in Leicester without a doubt. Love coming here, fur baby friendly which is always a must for me and my pooch! She was treated like the queen she is. Shout out to Jed for being a top notch server and looking after us :)

We have been here before as casual drop in mid week. This Sunday booked in advance for lunch. Service from Jed was excellent and the food was up to its usual high standard.

Great meal and beer at a reasonable price-Jed looked after us and even tweaked the menu to please my wife.A nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a lovely meal

Having eaten once before we knew they could cater for my dietary requirements (gluten intolerant Vegan). Greeted by very friendly bar staff grabbed drinks (very good pinot Grigio) and sat in the very pleasant snug. Husband had the McCopterface burger (£1 donated to air ambulance)-excellent he said and I just had chips (really really good chips) as I’m not a big eater. We were served mainly by Jed who was lovely and very helpful with menu choices, I wasn’t going to have dessert but he mentioned the Vegan Ice Cream (which was also gluten free and I suspect homemade), my husband had the sticky toffee pudding, both magnificent. It’s been a long time since I’ve had the confidence to eat out with my limited diet, I haven’t enjoyed a meal this much for a long time, Chips and Ice Cream seems a simple meal to most people, but to someone who struggles with food intolerances it’s a huge thing. So thank you to Jed and the globe.

Had a great lunch today of Mediterranean Haddock with my partner together with a lovely glass of Czech Lager. I have been here many times always a delight to eat here & Jo always has something on the the specials board for us to eat as in the fish dish today.. Dave as always looks after us on the drinks front so all in all a wonderful lunch yet again at the Globe Pub & Kitchen.. Foods as it should be !! homemade and cooked from fresh... Thank you all very much look forward to seeing you again soon Kind regards Richard

My partner & I went for lunch today again to the Globe Pub & Kitchen for another excellent lunch. I applaud Dave & Jo in the kitchen for the foods and drinks especially for the Czech Lager I love.. We had the Mediterranean Haddock which was wonderful in taste & ingredients loved it. I can always find a lovely dish on the specials board that Jo puts together each time we visit.. So congratulations Jo & Dave for your first class hospitality this lunchtime.. Foods how it should be cooked to order & home made! Wonderful... We both look forward to our next visit Best wishes Richard

One of Leicester's oldest and most beautiful venues, it is very enjoyable to sit outside whenever we catch the sun, which we rarely see in England 🍻🍸

Nice, friendly place with plenty of indoor & outdoor (street) seating. Haven't tried the food, but there's a good selection of everything boozy.

A lovely pub with a whole range of different beers, Also wheelchair friendly & the staff are kind courteous & very friendly! We have been back a few times & will continue to do so!

A nice pub we returned to on our weekend in Leicester. Good food, nice ale, friendly staff.

I'm a frequent visitor of the Globe and always enjoy their food and the atmosphere. However I was disappointed by the lamb shawarma as it was very bland and dry. The scampi was delicious though and everyone else enjoyed their meals, I was just a bit let down. The service was really quick and the staff were lovely. Would recommended to all.

Historic pub. Nice to sit here and have a beer. I'm not a beer drinker and I can't say anything about which ones are the best. There's a cathedral, a museum and a shopping center nearby

Visiting here for the first time after being away from Leicester for many years on the 23 may 24, only to find that the pub was empty and they no longer except cash, so as I only had cash on me we left..... The staff coundnt have cared less, cash is still legal tender in the uk and any business that won't except it is wrong. The only way is to boycott these businesses and go elsewhere, which we did. There was quite a large group of us and we went to O'Neals just up the road and there Happy to take cash. We did email the globe and there excuse was we done this when covid came in. Pretty lame excuse really and they obviously don't want people who pay cash.

you don't become the oldest pub in Leicester without being this dam good 👌 10 10

Great little quirky pub ( oldest pub in Leicester city centre). Good real ale choice, staff friendly and every time I've been to The Globe it's been busy.

Great pub but one of our party only had cash and the pub doesn't accept cash which made it a little awkward

Easily ignored, perhaps because of its location closer to the more retail end of Leicester, The Globe is easily missed and less frequented than a lot of pubs it's size. Anyone who likes to try something new and hasn't popped in should give it a look. This is a beautiful traditional bar and on the inside feels in places like you're stepping back in time. Good seating outside. Dined here a couple of times and wasn't disappointed. Food came quickly and was delicious.

Great pub. The staff are friendly and helpful and the pub itself has plenty of character inside, with chairs and tables outside if you want to enjoy nice weather and watch the world go by. The top room upstairs can be hired out for birthdays/events and has its own bar. The Globe stocks a good range of drinks, pub favourites and ales.

Excellent and friendly service. The food tasted very good although I thought the pie was quite small. For me, whilst I realise it's a pub, it was a little cramped and quite noisy.

Worst burger in Leicester. Do not recommend.

Easily the best pub in Leicester. Not only is it very traditional and everything you’d want from a pub on the inside, it has the best selection on tap and delicious food too. Can’t go wrong with a trip to the globe. Jed is always so helpful and friendly.

Lovely old pub that has kept its character. Had a really good meal in the Snug ,which you can reserve for get togethers (not sure if there is a charge) Friendly staff and in a historic part of Leicester but only just off the High Street. We visited early evening mid week and it was very chilled and relaxed

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Bonus that there's a free upstairs function room with bar that can be hired out. We went to support our friend Elise for the anniversary of her late husband. Although there were a lot of people upstairs, the atmosphere was great and relaxing to be around a variety of friends and family sharing the comforts of the past and present memories that we have all had. The prices of the drinks were fairly priced and I wouldn't hesitate recommending any of my friends and family to come to hire the free upstairs venue such as a birthday party or similar event.

Absolutely awesome experience! Managed to get a couple of seats in the snug and it was great that everyone else was chatting, very unusual these days. Great ale too!

Nice pub in the middle of Leicester

Came here for a drink and food, ordered the the roast beef and must say it was probably the worst I've had, cannot recommend at all. Very tough with no taste at all. After letting the bar staff know, I was told the chef(really!!) would be informed.

Had lunch and couple of pints of Guinness . Very good value and very friendly staff .

Busy city centre pub. Food served; I haven't eaten here for a while but it was good when I did. Upstairs venue for hire.

Absolute gem of a pub, great selection of Beers and the food is boss as well.

Decent pub been popping in for years but at £13.20 for 2 pints of ipa beer it's charging too much

Lovely old pub with fabulous beer. Great service. Can get busy at times due to central location. Well worth a visit.

Nice beer and food. Friendly staff that recommended me a beer.

Fabulous pub close to Leicester Cathedral & the Richard the 3rd centre, offering well kept local ales & good simple food Highly recommend

This pub's gone cashless now. No good. I'll go elsewhere to a place that still takes cash. I need to continue using my cognitive function rather than just tap aimlessly and not track what I'm spending.

Great place, wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, and great comedy shows upstairs caught a few as part of the festival

The Globe is an atmospheric pub that dates from the 1700's. There is a choice of places to sit, rooms with a number of tables and lovely snug areas. The Globe has a good menu that caters for all tastes and there is a broad selection of beers, wines and spirits.

Proper old style pub with good Everards beers.

Popped in to watch the rugby upstairs, friendly staff and lovely pub.

Excellent place, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff. Layla in particular was amazing.

Fantastic night not been in the globe for some time. But what a gem, the bar staff amazing people so friendly, polite, helpful definitely recommend the globe to friends family or just a pop for a quick drink. Still one of the best pubs in town

Cool place with Mexican cuisine

Nice little pub it was surprisingly empty for a friday so we managed to get a table but the drinks are on the higher end £10 for a double gin and tonic I didn't see a menu anywhere i would have liked to check the prices before buying

Great public house with friendly staff

Great pub, good food, great service

Good all round pub with history

Came here with friends for pre Christmas meal. Good food and service.

Food for burger and chip was really good.. definitely going back and a great pint too

Great Beer friendly staff nice atmosphere. Will be back soon. Lovely food

Had my favourite crispy pork belly, cannot fault the food, one of the best places to eat in my opinion.

Nice place good beer 100% Recommend

Food didn't come altogether as we were a group some had to wait a while

I have visited this pub for 25 years. It has been card only for the past couple of years and I will not use anywhere that is cashless, out of principle of not wanting to go down the dangerous road of a digital technocracy. Look what they did to Nigel this year! I will return when the Globe accepts cash once more. I urge the Globe (with traditional nod towards being counter culture) to accept cash once more, so I can come back to regular visits

Been drinking here for 15+ years, many great memories. Still one of the best pubs in Leicester, great ales! I have not tried the food so can't comment, but am sure it will be as good as the beer. Layla and the team are very friendly.

Great place, great atmosphere great food

Another great Christmas lunch at The Globe. Food all piping hot and arrived at the table so that we all ate together even though there were lots of Christmas lunches going on, well done 👏 🙂 great value for really lovely food. Thank you

Went for a couple of drinks with colleagues and ended up having some food really friendly staff nice cosy pub definitely going back

Excellent food,good value. Great range of beers. Friendly staff.

Great traditional old city pub serving good value food and great real ale (and other beers, wine etc.....oh and a Bloody Mary! ). Been once before but this was a Saturday lunchtime on the day if a home Tigers match ..... so it got busy but the atmosphere was great. We hadn't booked a table but we're early getting there (before 12). If you are going for food I'd advise booking a table. Staff were very friendly and really helpful. Liked it so much before the game we went back after!

Wonderful old English pub. Dark, cozy, and quaint. Perfect spot to spend a rainy afternoon. Jed the bartender recommended a couple of lovely ales and took excellent care of us.

We always find a warm welcome from staff and management at this traditional English hostelry in the heart of historic Leicester. The menu offers something for most palates and our visits to this vibrant, multicultural city are not complete if we don't pop in for a bite. Be back soon. (Note: to be sure of a table in busy periods, book ahead. It should also be noted that you can only order a side of Yorshire pud with a recommended Lincolnshire sausage, mash n seasonal vegetables on a Sunday).

Great service, great atmosphere! The place is well kept, welcoming, not too crowded.

Wonderful old world boozer with smiling staff.

Great service. Food delicious,well presented and lovely and hot. Nice cosy atmosphere.

A fantastic old world pub, great selection of beers and fantastic food. Great service, no loud music to spoil the atmosphere. Highly recommended, will definitely be coming back. Thanks for a great experience

Lovely pub with great beer selection. Food is more than mediocre, tasteless, small portions, that were expensive. No staff around to alert to the fact the food was so poor.

Love this traditional pub. Good selection of beers and spirits, friendly staff and nobody kicking off. What more could you ask for?

It's a small town pud in the city ! So great 👍

Great food, good selection of ales,

聽說這是一家百多年歷史的餐廳，從建築物和裝潢都看得出，氣氛舒適。 因為Leicester Restaurant Week 的關係，餐廳有特價優惠，所以來試試。 我們叫了two courses ，食物算是不錯，服務員態度非常好，價格實惠。

Good friendly pub plus great food and drinks and friendly staff

The best pub in Leicester in my opinion and it's also mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide. The food was fine and I was happy about the prices. This pub is close to the Richard III Centre and the cathedral. The pub is now a cashless business and offer vegan pot pies. On my last visit, the young bar staff were turning people away who wanted to eat at 8pm when the kitchen closes. Surely when the pub is nearly empty, a little bit of leeway come into play for the food, plus drinks, plus future custom? It's a business after all? I have downgraded the pub as a result.

Lovely pub, well set out for Sunday dinner will be back for one 😊

One of the better centrally located pubs in Leicester. Decent beer and food 👍

Really nice staff and food was great. Between us we had the lamb shank and the steak & ale pie - recommend both.

Had a fantastic evening here with a great selection of drinks and amazing food. Even though it was 50% of all foods we will definitely be coming back here. The two people in the bar made us feel incredibly welcome and safe. Look forward to seeing you guys after lockdown.

Came for a Sunday dinner with family, despite the place being completely full to capacity everything was grand, service was on time and exceptionally friendly, food was hot and delicious, and the pudding was the perfect end to things, all in all highly recommend coming with family or friends for a good time

Lovely breakfast. Nice pint of cider. Good service. Happy. Not many people in. Place nicely decorated for Halloween.

A welcome addition to the brunch offer in the city. Good service as always and well set up for health and safety so you can feel safe as well as looked after. Veggie breakfast recommended.

The food here is always delicious. You don't have to wait a lifetime but it does seem to be cooked fresh. The staff who serve are really nice people. Before lockdown we used this pub a lot.

The family visited The Globe yesterday for the first time since it re-opened earlier this week. I have been drinking in there for over forty years and it was necessarily a little different but rest assured it is still the best pub in Leicester.We were shown to our table by the wonderful Layla herself, who also took our first drinks order. Full table service at The Globe is the new normal and payment has to be by card. My first pint of Old Original in six months was bound taste lovely so I had to have a couple more to check and none of them disappointed.We ordered our food and second round of drinks using the new web app, which was easy to use. We had been given some printed menus on entry that have a QR code to take you to the web app, so they've really tried to make the new normal as simple as possible. We all enjoyed our food and ordered some more drinks at the table.The staff were as friendly and helpful as ever and because a couple at the next table left before us we could see how thoroughly the table was sanitised for the next occupants.I've visited a few pubs since Leicester came out of lockdown and they have all made some changes but The Globe is in a different league when it comes to ensuring the safety of their customers and staff.If you would like to go out for a drink and a bite in town but are humming and harring because you are not sure you are ready to brave a pub in the current situation, I can recommend The Globe. The pub opened later than a lot of others to ensure they were ready and I cannot fault their preparation.The pub have done their bit but is obviously operating at reduced capacity to ensure real social distancing so I think the least we punters can do is try and make sure they don't have any empty tables. They are doing their own "eat out" offer Monday to Wednesday in September so you can save money too.

Out in Leicester and after a walk in the culture area. Had lunch here. Very friendly staff and good food, would recommend

A friend and I had lunch here before our visit to the Van Gogh experience. I had Lincolnshire sausages and mash with seasonable vegetables, my friend had a burger and chips. Both meals were lovely, hot and served quickly. We both had sticky toffee puffing for pudding and the pudding came with a free hot drink which was a welcome touch. Both wait staff were helpful, friendly and polite. We'd definitely come again!!
