The food was very nice and I enjoyed it but I could see staff standing still talking in the work room for 20 minutes while I was waiting for my food, my partner's egg yolk was very dry and so was my chicken strips and there definitely wasnt enough curry sauce. I'll definitely come back again though because it's not the worst thing in the world and my stomach was satisfied.

Food: The chefs need to work on their timing and some basics when it comes to skillet plates (wet onions on a hot plate whilst the steak is sizzling leads to water sitting on the skillet, the steak then is essentially boiling removing flavour from the meat) fix the basics and this becomes a non issue. Service: Excellent, the ladies in here work their ass off and still manage to keep a smile and be very helpful & attentive. Absolutely faultless. Atmosphere: Bit rowdy and some of the patrons here can be quite obnoxious, but that's not a slight on the staff or bar. They probably should keep them in check better.

Sunday Lunch. We both ordered a medium rump steak. After a 40 minute wait, we were served a very well done steak.Our daughter had Southern fried chicken burger, which she stated, was like the very cheap burgers from Aldi. We will not return.

Where do I start. We have been visiting here for years and year, we used to split between the local hero and counting house which is up the road spent plenty of our hot days here and some rainy days. Food- hit and miss. Can vary. Steak on hot plates are good sometimes. Sometimes we’ll majority of the time it’s hit and miss. Friendly locals. Very friendly locals, friendships were built within the establishment and continue outside, my family and myself were very delighted at first back when BEN use to run the place. There is a new owner now and I’m sorry but you need to work on your public service skills and quite frankly my family and myself will not be visiting this poorly ran pub. Rude owner.

BEWARE MATCH-DAY PRICES. £7.10 a pint. Which is at least £2 more expensive than drinking in the actual ground. Which feels like a con. It’s pretty bad when it’s cheaper to drink inside a sporting ground. Food is ok, but is often sold out, unless I’m just unlucky. Service has always been good, friendly with a positive attitude and chatty.

Have been coming here for many years I have a blue light card and have never had an issue before however today they put the order through and took the bluelight off but didn’t mention that due to their ^special offer^ it actually cost me more than it would without the bluelight, I asked them about this and was met with a rude and confrontational attitude from the bar maid saying basically I should have read the terms and conditions( I have it doesn’t say anything about not being used with in-house discounts or special offers) I asked to speak with the manager who also gave me attitude and said take it up with bluelight I said surely you should have made me aware that the discount would be less than the special offer and you couldn’t use both? She said I can refund you and it will take 6-7 days to return to card but you will have to order and pay again without the discount o said just leave it she said next time read your terms and conditions I may be in the wrong I can’t see in t and c that what they say is true but really was their a need for the attitude? However on a lighter note when the food FINALLY arrived (it’s lunchtime) it was very nice

Service was great, staff nice but tables and menus not clean. Tables hadn’t been wiped down, many had sticky marks on and we arrived 11.30 so can only assume from day before. The ones that were you could see dirty streak marks as if they were cleaned with dirty cloths. The menus were filthy. Had to try several tables before got half clean ones. They were covered in spilt drinks and food. Debated leaving but it was my sons birthday and we had got a taxi there and limited on time so just hoped the kitchen was clean. The food tasted very nice but by the time I got home it was exiting the building. Will not be going back again. The cost is reasonable but £55 for 4 meals, soft drinks can get so much better elsewhere and not end up on the loo 2 hours later

I visited Local Hero to try their Sunday roast, but to my disappointment, they were out of the low & slow beef rib. Instead, I opted for the traditional beef, which came with mash, peas, roast potatoes, mini Yorkshire puddings, broccoli, carrots, and a generous serving of gravy. I also added a serving of pigs in blankets. Overall, the meal was adequate, but as far as roasts go, it fell short of expectations. The vegetables offered paled in comparison to your usual seasonal veg, and the beef wasn't particularly flavourful. The standout element was the pigs in blankets, but aside from that, there wasn't much else noteworthy about the dish. It wasn't a bad meal per se, but it's not one I'd choose to have again. I remain curious about their beef rib, but without that option, I doubt I'll be trying another Sunday roast from here anytime soon.

Just got back from a great lunch at the Local Hero. We had BOGOF burgers. We sat at table 15. Ordered the burgers, which is not our usual food but we thought we would try. WOW!! what a great choice. The burgers were brilliant, nice and tasty. It came with chips and onion rings. I had a side of coleslaw that was great too. The service was great, attentive without being in your face. Thank you Local Hero. Brilliant.

Absolutely shocking went in on a Saturday night 8:00 pm for a drink , place 60% empty ordered 1 pint and bottle of Sol , price should have been £10.10, presented payment card and was charged £12.20 questioned the barman who explains event prices had been triggered I asked what the hell that was he told me Leicester Tigers had played at home so it was event pricing . That game finished at 4.45 and I had been nowhere near it how the hell that triggers event pricing over 3 hours later I do not know. Talked about being ripped off. Will avoid in future just in case there's been an event somewhere in the world the same day.

Think this member of staff needs some customer service training .

Went to watch the rugby which was great, until I asked to get a cocktail pitcher which they said they don’t serve during rugby which is fair. I then ordered a guiness which was terrible. And then they turned off the rugby for football so we couldn’t even watch the second half. I then was refused to order a cocktail pitcher aswell again.

Went with a friend and had a good time. Lots of seating. Menu seems to have a lot of options but three dishes were out of stock, and I'm vegan so it really left me with very little to choose from. Went with nachos in the end, not bad as we were also there mainly for drinks. Bit average but the portion was fairly decent, not huge though and I know the profit margin on it is huge haha. Staff were okay, not particularly welcoming but then again I've been bar staff before at various places, and between bad management and bad customers you can't expect them to be glittering and full of joy, nor should someone expect that. Outside seating area is very nice. Decent location to other places nearby. I'd probably eat there again but not likely as I didn't even get to try the dishes I was interested in. My friend and I just had to settle for our second and third choices. Drinks prices are very steep, considering how often they're very busy you'd think they could pass down the savings 🙄. All in all a pleasant time, not bad, not outstanding.
