The Local Hero Pub in Hinckley and Bosworth

Visit the Local Hero frequently. Good food and very friendly staff. Visited yesterday and was well looked after by Charley-Dee 😊

Food was exceptionally as always, staff friendly and helpful.

We came on Monday night for the Leicester vs Newcastle Match. The atmosphere was great, they even had a dj on. There was plenty of staff so didn’t really have to wait too long to be served. We ordered 2 Sirloin steaks and both came out within 15 minutes and were cooked to perfection. We also had the Chocolate Fudge cake for dessert. There was a good range of drinks to choose from. I had the Flirt on the Beach cocktail and my husband had a pint of Guinness. The staff were all very friendly. The location of the pub is spot on for getting to match and as a guest at the pub we got 4 hours free parking. We are relatively new to this side of Leicester but we will definitely be back.

We are regular customers who come to the pub before the Leicester games. Our waitress Donna is friendly, efficient & always goes above & beyond. Nothing is ever to much trouble.

Staff friendly and helpful. Much better than oadby owl, Staff don't want to be there, full of toxic controlling staff. So glad found a better green king pub who actually know how to run a pub. Well done local hero.

George was amazing took my order and it came as I ordered it thank you table 20 16.04pm 3/4/2025

Love this place our little local after work. Friendly staff and always makes us feel welcome. Lovely food can't fault my food that I ordered. Work their pants off when it's football.

I paid a visit a few weeks ago with my friend I had xl mixed grill my friend had steak have to say was the best I had tasted staff where welcoming from start to finish can't wait for another steak

Great food. Friendly staff and brilliant atmosphere- highly recommend

Last visit was for breakfast with Santa, kids absolutely loved and the breakfast was very good

Came in on Sunday for food with friends, very disappointed to find a limited menu so i went on to the Facebook page to see if it was advertised and we had missed it and nothing on there was posted. Reluctantly we ordered food from the limited menu of burgers and chicken strips. We didn't have to wait long for food as it came quite quickly but as you can imagine we were quite surprised when it was served on a cardboard tray! If we wanted a burger on cardboard we'd have gone to McDonald's next door! Not at all what you'd expect from a pub/restaurant. Shockingly disappointed, which is a shame as the food that we ordered was very nice but I prefer to choose from a menu as advertised and eat it from a plate. This also wasn't ideal for a vegetarian who obviously doesn't eat beef burgers, chicken burgers or chicken strips so he ended up going elsewhere for food. We were regular customers when Joe was manager, we haven't managed to come in as much since he's left and definitely won't be returning if these are the changes the current manager is making. Although I'm sure we aren't the only ones leaving feeling like this yesterday. If the manager can't be bothered to let his customers know there's changes to menus with no advertising, no notice just a quick mention when you sit at the table, no vegetarian options and cardboard trays I'm sure he won't be there long. Seeing as my review keeps getting removed I thought I'd post again.

Kelvin was a very helpful gentleman and helped me when I was stuck in a rut, Consider this man with more value than you already would because he goes the extra mile. I was happy with my drinks and service all the way with no doubts. 😁

Was really upset with the service from bar staff telling me that’s how onions come. Second time round lovely!

Food always great and service friendly Server Charley was lovely

Good atmosphere good food reasonable price. Definitely go again

After going for a drink after bingo at 10.15 with my daughter we sat at table 1 and proceeded to order a round of drinks using the app. After confirmation on our phones and money leaving our accounts we sat for nearly 15 mins when we looked at the bar the two girls were talking and didn't appear to have our order. We went to the bar and politely asked about our orders. We were spoken to by a very rude young girl who said we haven't got any orders, we showed her our app confirmation and she looked and said we don't even sell that drink, after asking what we could order she came back to the bar with two screwed up receipts and said nobody uses the app at this time of night and they never came through to the bar, after changing our drinks to what they did sell my daughter's were slammed down on the table and I was told they had no vanilla vodka for the cocktail I had ordered, so I then asked what they could make and then 5 mins later my jug of cocktail was slammed on the table, after a death stare I politely asked would it be possible to get another glass to which she huffed and again returned banned it down on the table and stormed off Absolutely shocking rude service and will never come into this pub again !!

The food was delicious and plenty of it. I had the full rack of ribs and it was amazing. I will be eating there again soon.

I only go pre match. Busy but service fairly quick. There are cheaper pints on offer at other pubs close to King Power Stadium. A fairly generic experience.

Food is good Little sweet for my taste They haven't got their seasonings locked down Good atmosphere

Quiz night and football, brilliant night.

I came in here today for a couple of pints whilst watching the game. Almost £6.50 a pint is extortion. Is this just match day price? To add insult to injury first pint was very flat and tasted watered down. (Madri) Went for A San Miguel after that just to see if it was a bad barrel and same again. Pretty flat and again tasted watered down. Loved the pub and layout but won’t come again. If I am paying £6.50 for a pint I expect it to be nice.

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. As a follow up to this review, my wife and I have been back to Local Hero a few times since this review and do you know what? Each time we go, the food is exactly the same.....perfect along with the service and welcome. Once again, thank you Local Hero.

Food is reasonable and the staff look after us as we're here every monday

Come here every Monday for the quiz and it’s always incredible

Wonderful atmosphere and the staff was amazing

We love the quiz on Monday nights and the staff are lovely!! Food is great as well!!!

Come here on Mondays for the quiz - great place

Great place!.. 👍 Food honestly depends on your needs. Being a vegetarian, the options are small.

Went today and had a mixed grill the chicken was small and dry a hanful of undercooked wet onions with a small stake burnt on the outside and raw on the inside and the peas were cold also the wait time was long considering it wasnt buisy normally the food is beautiful i got the feeling it might be a new chef the women staff seemed overworked and not like there usual selfs i hope there ok.

Lovely place nice food great staff

Stopped off for a couple of drinks before the cinema, lots of tvs showing the football, good atmosphere, attentive staff, didn't eat but food that came out to other tables looked good.

Very nice meal reasonable price

Always good vibes when I go there to watch football. Lovely atmosphere, decent service.

Everything is 1st class except the parking requires your car reg entered at the bar l was not informed of this and got a £100 fine which at the moment l have objected too ask me later of the outcome later on l rang the pub and asked to speak to the manager who was not available so the young lady l spoke to informed me when l gave her the reference no of the fine she would get it cancelled eventually l had a further notice of the fine and because 2 weeks had passed the reduced fine which would have been reduced to £60 had l paid it promptly had expired so l had to pay the £100 so to the lady who told me don't worry about it l say thanks and of course l won't be visiting ",the local hero " in future even though the food was excellent David C

We were a party of 15 who came into the pub for a few drinks. Ended up staying for food and more drinks. The bar staff were absolutely outstanding. They took multiple drinks orders all afternoon, 2 running bar tabs, and were faultless in their service. Cannot thank you enough for the way you looked after us

We stay in the area for LCFC football matches and are testing food options for our hotel (Takeaways, local restaurants) It was the turn of Local Hero and we were delighted with combination of good value and quality. For modern pub food, it was excellent. The friendly and helpful staff provided additional pleasure.

Breakfast with santa (best santa I've seen) is perfect for everyone. Even better gifts this year and the breakfasts were lovely and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend and also praise to all the staff and santa see you next year!

Went here before watching football for drinks. Staff very friendly and effecient even though pub was very busy

The local hero is a big local city pub with Television in great places to watch the big games. The time we were in I observed one or two families which was nice (5.00 pm). The food was okay, the staff were keeping on top of things it's a big place. I imagine when the city or Tigers are at home it's one busy place.

Charley was exceptional the meal was amazing and the speed of the meal coming out for there being 17 of us was amazing. The staff are incredibly friendly and always welcoming. We have been here many times and everytime it gets better and better. Absolutely recommend as a place for 2, 4, 6 or 20 people etc they can cater everyone and have a great selection.

Good food quick service food hot tables clean just the cutlery look like they needed cleaning or replacing

Had christmas festive fair we totally enjoyed the food beer was good and staff where really good

I am disappointed with this place. We were there on Saturday after 7 p.m. for a beer and a drink and to eat something. Unfortunately, we received the beer in disposable cups even though we sat inside, opposite the bar. Beer prices vary at 7 p.m. (£4) and then after 8 p.m. (6.25 a.m.) they are much more expensive and are still served in disposable cups. We have already given up on one, although it could have been tasty. Regards

Nice layout Food good Service good

Wonderful pub fantastic service and awsome staff

Deanne was a pleasure to help Is with our meal and very cheerful Pleasant environment, attentive and excellent customer service

Great place, with a nice atmosphere and lots to do. Charlie and all staff are lovely. Great selection of beers too!!

Out for birthday meal. Was lovely .

Always love coming here ,great staff and food ,will always come back again and again

It's not going to be your go to local i get it for its location its great but how you can charge them prices for a pint in Leicester in a bang average pub at best is beyond me. the outside 'beer garden' is poor but understandable as they are using what space they have but the inside is really big

Good place to go before (or after) the football & rugby games. Plenty of tables & places to sit.

Given it was a Saturday evening we expected it would be busy but we waited an hour for food to be served. Overall food was good but the steak was way over done when we had asked for medium. staff were great though.

The fish and chip were fantastic by the chef. Staff were all friendly. Plus, I love the updated decor.

Charlie was fantastic made the night with her service

Food was brilliant and very welcoming staff

Great atmosphere, friendly stuff and good food and drinks

We had a wonderful time, food was perfect. Service was great, Charley-Dee was very helpful.

Local Hero servido por Alisha y Lee, donde excepcional y servicial, viajamos de Skegness a Leicester para visitar a la familia y solo vamos a Local Hero es increíble!

Very good, value for money was good & staff were great

Excellent service. Food was very nice, everyone enjoyed their meals and food was reasonably priced.

Nice spot for a drink and a bite to eat. Loads of screens to watch sports.

We stopped into the Local Hero for Sunday lunch. Our waiter, Donna, was friendly & attentive and greeted us with a smile. The Low & Slow beef was phenomenal and falling off the bone. Great value! Family of 4 spent £50 including drinks. I will be returning.

Donna served us she was really lovely and helpful

Donna was lovely and very helpful, polite and welcoming!

Staff are always friendly, and always have a smile, good quality food and good value.

Great to have a good value meal and take the family joe and team are fantastic and alway gives us a good experience

I've been a regular customer of Local Hero for a long time, visiting weekly for lunch., the food is delicious - especially the macaroni cheese which is perfection - always served hot and with only a minimal wait time. The staff are always friendly and (especially Maxine) remember us from week to week, making us welcome. Lovely atmosphere too.

Been here few times post work for drinks. Great place and plenty of seating options nice place to sit outside

Went on a ruby day so very busy

Donna the severe was very nice I ordered a Stella but only had madri which was fine she apologized and assured me would like Madrid which I did

Food excellent staff very helpful

Fabulous evening out, excellent service from great staff. Shout out to Maxine and Deanne amazing staff 👍🏻

VISITED ON SUNDAY 12:30 ISH, FOOD WAS HOT AND VERY NICE BUT THE STELLA WAS SILLY PRICED AT £6.25 A PINT...

Husband really enjoyed his meal ( mixed grill) mine wasn't the best by far ( chick"n" mix) maccies would of been better !!

Book a table on 'match days' Food ok

Luv este lugar, la comida es siempre lugar en y las camareras son lugar en especial Bretaña, la cerveza es decente y hay un amplio aparcamiento.

Charley was amazing and so kind Thank you for the great service x

The place was amazing food was great an the two young girls on the floor couldn’t enough for you thanks to Donna an Brit think that was there names will come back 100%

Gran pub bueno para una noche lo recomendaría aquí siempre encantadora comida mixta parrilla es agradable. También hay una gran selección de bebidas aquí siempre una cálida sensación agradable y un buen personal.

Good value food but portion size was a little small(scampi, chips & mushy peas), mushy peas where a bit like soup.

Really enjoy coming here. The food is really nice and great price, so brilliant for large families. The staff are really polite and helpful. Definitely recommend.

4 of us went for a birthday meal, the food use to be so good there bit the last few months it's been disgusting food.

Lee the guy behind the bar was very friendly and helpful the guy needs a medal because very busy and helpful I would recommend pub to anyone with staff like that

A friendly pub with good food, took a group of residents for lunch (seniors menu) and they all thoroughly enjoyed their meals and dessert. The staff were friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much. Would recommend a visit to The Local Hero

Not my cup of tea, it was very busy so others must like it.

Staff were nice, food was lovely, good music, TV is all on with football on. Good atmosphere x

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.

Absolutely fantastic. Donna was great bar service all the food finished with no left overs loved it all from start to Finnish

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.

I used to be a regular here after coming in on a flying visit this bar and grill always impressed me absolutely superb. After coming back here with the family the food was brilliant, the choice of food was brilliant, the staff were brilliant the whole establishment were brilliant.

Great all round. Food was hot and very tasty. Service was very friendly and prices were excellent. Had a lovely evening. A big thank you

We ordered a 2 course meal, finished the first, and then waited so long, we had to walk out and never got our second course. Very poor service.

You can't give a minus on this these people are the people getting rich of work like this it disgusts me I can't explain how much I hate platform I'm out of here don't deal with these people they don't listen to you I wish I could see them in person instead of over the phone thinking there above everybody else because there on a phone it woukd be different in person I'm telling you disgusting people

Used to be terrible service for a beer on match days but it’s good now. Foods alright too. Beers a bit pricey but no one forces me to buy it

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.

Very good food. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. Great Sunday Roast the slow cooked beef rib was amazing.

Popular meeting place for Leicester City home games, although at £6.50 a pint for their lagers people don't stay long...

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.

The meal was good and the price and service was excellent !!
