Winstanley Arms in Blaby

Went to a private party, and overall, it seemed like a well run pub. Staff were friendly and efficient

New owners lovely people and just been a week taking over best of luck in your new business and keep up the good work

Great atmosphere and great people especially the landlord and landlady

RADAR toilet. Not just wheelchair accessible. Suitable for people with sensory issues and neurological disabilities who need the Red Cord. Really good.

Great pub got a pool table staff friendly . We need to use this sort of places before they all disappear.

I was in the area on family business and fancied a couple of pints while watching the football on sky, was disappointed that they didn’t have sky sports for such a popular and quite big pub, stopped to have a beer then moved on, perhaps there isn’t much demand in the area for football or it’s now too expensive.

Had such a great night, celebrating my 50th birthday. Staff loved the disco and the atmosphere. Can't thank you enough

Pleasant staff, but needs the pub needs makeover!

Good decent place will definitly go back

Very run down and worn out pub but nice staff and the food was good.

Good place to have a catch up with your mates nice prices

Thoroughly enjoyed the Indian meal. Loved the spinach chicken, mixed grill, Chilly paneer and Lamb Karahi. Must try their butter chicken. 5 stars all round.

Avoid!! I visited with my Daugher, and was greeted by what I can only describe as the local yobs! Not only where they welcomed inside they were also served alcohol on numerous occasions! Clearly being under age. Management needs sacking! Reported to police and trading standards

Attended today for the Sunday carvery...have to say the food was very good....the homemade complimentary vegetable soup was delicious....then the chef ... a very friendly young man gave us the choice of four meats...turkey, beef, pork and gammon...I chose the beef and turkey which I then had lots of veg, cauliflower cheese..carrots..green beans..cabbage..broccoli...all cooked very well...then you get offered roast and new potatoes...Yorkie pud and stuffing...parsnips...liver and onions...gravy...all cooked very well...great achievement chef..... The atmosphere was friendly...the bar staff were helpful...the room was very clean and well organised....will defo be going back...today wasn’t overly busy due to terrible weather...but have heard that usually it is safer to book a table in advance...defo worth a visit...enjoy all. The price was I believe £7.95 per head and £5.95 for under 12 s.

Lovely pub , great food , only downside is if you sit in the bar you have to listen to the children upstairs banging and slamming around !! Annoying after a while so we left !!

Another great meal, lovely staff, landlady is very friendly. Great steaks and salads. Great guest beers for the hubby. Brilliant value for money. What’s not to like. Thank you all

Won't be going back because of this miserable bloke. food was nice. Prices are good value. I did put a report on here but deleted it. I thought the miserable guy was the landlord. Apologies. He needs a few lessons on customer service. He put a damper on the time spent in there.

Me and my Sister attend the quiz here every Wednesday. It's really good and friendly, and the bar staff are very friendly too. The food is good quality and great value for money too.

Our local for a few years , moved out of area now but still visit for family get togethers and has great value tasty food.

Been coming down for a number of years now, got to know all the staff, the locals and the owners, always well looked after! The lager is always spot on and the food menu is an absolute bargain. The atmosphere is spot on, especially when the suns out and everybody is outside having a laugh! A secure park for the kids to play on and for the parents to sit at is always a bonus. Great pub, thank you!

Visited last week, wasn't very busy as which was good. Food was lovely. Lee and kate are lovely. The barmaid Hollie, was as jolly as ever. Always smiling, excellent service the staff are all lovely, really can't fault the place. They have a play area for children, I'd say for 5 over, could do with some swings for something for children under. But other than that they are a lovely esablisment.

Can't fault the food and the staff, especially Hollie, such a lovely girl. Gave me and my family excellent service and always has a smile on her face. Just what you need when you have had a terrible day.

Good, honest food at really, really decent prices. Not a 'fine-dining' kind of place but the restaurant is done out nice enough and overall the place is clean - 5/5 hygiene rating. The food has always been good quality when we're been here, the waiting staff are young so not the most engaging but the bar service is cheerful. We'll be back again for sure!

After looking at the other reviews, it stands out that this is a local community pub in Braunstone, Leicester. It is a real gem, yes it is child and dog friendly, and does represent the local community mix with some colourful language at times. But this is a real pub and very good restaurant. For example: Two cod, chips and peas for £7, a two course Sunday lunch for leas than £6 with choice of 12 vegetables on the carvery, with three meats and veggie option. We have had Sunday lunches for double/treble the price which were half as good. It is worth a visit for the food, and drinks, I would recommend calling in if you are in the area.

Not a very pleasent welcome. Food okay. Children running around car park and onto paths beyond which was rather dangerous imo. Staff very disinterested in all aspects. Would not visit again.

Winstanley Arms Leicester good food pitty about the foul language 499343287 we have eaten here a few times now, the food is really good (excellent) in fact, but my god the terrible language is not acceptable , bad language is heard every other sentence . this a lounge and eating area where children and elderly people eat and drink and we should have to listen to that.........but the worst and most unexceptable thing here is one of the staff I think the manager? was using bad language himself..... you sometimes hear the odd swearword in pubs but this was constant a landlord should respect other customers not just locals.......what a shame because the food is lovely....

We popped in mid week after work for a drink and ended up staying for dinner. It's a local pub so has no finesse but fed us when we were hungry for little more than you'd pay for a Chinese. 4 drinks & 2 mains for £30 Bf had pie and I had lasagne, his pie was gorgeous but the lasagne was a bit dry so we swapped :)

Had a lovely meal at the Winstanley arms.3 of us dined and all 3 meals were lovely. Fish pie,baked salmon and steak. All 3 meals were hot, presented well and very good value for money.

Friendly and cosy local. Great food at very fair price. Friday fish and chips at two for seven pounds - the best in town! Sunday carvery excellent.

He threatened me for no reason he was rude. I made a complaint about some fools in there + he was not interested in dealing with that at all.

This was the 2nd year a group of us had a Christmas meal. This year's meal was even better than the year before. Excellent quality, quantity and service. Extremely good value.

Visited with a pre-booked party of 20 for our annual Christmas get-together. We all found the service, quantity, quality and value truly superb. Highly recommended.

Food is quite good pub food for the price. It's not fine dining - but it's better than you expect given the low price points. Reasonably extensive menu. Staff are good. Dining room usually empty except on Sundays when they do a carvery (no menu option) and you should book.

Food was absolutely great, me and the Mrs go out quite often and try new places this has now become one of out best meals out and one of the best that we have had for a long time, the mix grill was outstanding, great value for money when the 2nd is brought for half price, with a quick and polite service, I am one for picking fault where I can but I cannot pick fault the food what so ever... there is one and only one bad point, this is the reception you get when you walk in and this has always been the same, as you walk in you get met by the regular drinkers and sometimes in large numbers in the lounge area on your way though to the seating area, this is quite intimidating even to a big chap like myself, do not let this put you of, there is a side entrance which I always forget about.. all being said the food was great and will definitely be going again....

Very disappointed from the moment we walked in to the time we left. Was met by a barman with a cigarette behind his ear, not a good look. The mixed grill not lacking in quantity but I have to say quality was not good. Everything over cooked and hard.the pie which was the other meal again over cooked and hard to digest.having told the waitress and the barman about this the only reply was sorry about that I'll have a word with the chef. Sorry not good enough.

We eat here quite regularly now and I feel I must write a review. The food here has improved so much especially in the last year or so. The meals here are always hot and nicely cooked and well presented. My husband often has the surf and turf and always comments on how good the steak is, one of my favourites is the fish pie, it is so tasty and has a nice portion of fish and a great sauce. The staff are very friendly. Over all great pub food, good value for money. Thanks Kate and the team

We popped in recently to see what this place was like. We had the carvery as it was a Sunday & I must say their cauliflower cheese is the best I've ever had. Really good value so I'm pleased that this is now my local!

Called in for a quick good value dinner, which was what we got. I had the large fish and chips and thought it was great value for money.

I've lived in the area all of my life, I've never been into the Winstantley, but, I thought I try it with my friends in tow.Kerb appeal is possibly the Winstanleys better side, inside belies a fierce welcome.A barmaid greated me and my friends by 'coldly' asking what we wanted. It wasn't a great start.We had a few drinks which were exceptionally well priced and as you'd expect from a local brewery, quite comforting really.There was a distinct lack of atmosphere and honestly, if I had a drink there every day is become a non drinker.It's probably not somewhere is go back to.

When I've been here for meals the food has been great and the staff is very polite. The price is very good for the quality of the food! Its always nice to return to a nice and family friendly service.

17 of us met for a Christmas meal. The food was excellent. It was hot and and tasty with a good choice. Much better than some hotel Christmas meals I have had. The service was good and we were made to feel very welcome. The price was also excellent as many Christmas meals are usually more expensive.

Visited the Winstanley for a works Christmas fundraiser. Thanks for the Arms for their support tor that.However that's where the thanks stop. The meal was a carvery with the usual hand carved meat and help yourself veg'. The chef was polite and considerate and has that great skill of being able to treat each person as individuals. However once we had our plate full of food it was apparent after the first mouthful that it was tasteless, with the only flavour being the gravy. Disappointing.I purchased a cup of tea/coffee and I couldn't believe it was from a slot in pod machine. The coffee was awful and tea not much better. Come on Winstanley put some taste into it!
