Oooh, smell the leather 3*

Sharon B. says:

I love this place

They have LOADS of helmets in stock and their collection of all in one suits is quite large too.

The staff are always VERY friendly and will order anything they don't have.

You can usually get your two wheels parked outside the front door, but cars are limited down the side street on a Saturday.

Hidden Gem 3*

Sharon B. says:

This pub is up a back street, so if you aren't familiar with Beeston then you won't come across it.

They have comfy sofas, high tables and normal tables, so if you are fussy where you sit you'll probably be catered for here.

The lads say the lager is a good pint and they have sky sports, dart board and something in the corner that has flashy lights on too - so I guess there's entertainment - although I did see a Meat Loaf tribute guy setting up one Friday night.

To Die For ! 5*

Sharon B. says:

This place is within walking distance of my house ! Fatal !!

On the plus side no taxi is required - on the minus side no taxi is required so I end up with a few more glasses of wine down me than usual.

They have a brand new bar at the side for guests to chill out and read the menu with a glass of wine before being shown to your seat.

The waiters are great, and when they say "chips or rice with that" they don't flicker when I ask for half and half.

Share the meatball starter and stuffed mushrooms - they are heavenly and don't get me started on the seafood risotto.

The selection of deserts gets bigger each time I go, I'm stuffed just thinking about it.

Brilliant place - 10 out of 10 - or 5 out of 5 since that's the highest you can give!

Thank You ! 3*

Sharon B. says:

I go here for bread and milk and wine and more wine, and sometimes for wine.

There's loads of little chinese people in their now since the uni is back but you can still pop round the lanes with ease.

The tills can be more of a challenge if it's busy but I called in there after running the Robin Hood Half Marathon and they actually did a tannoy announcement that said "congrats to the couple in store who've just completed the marathon" - I thought it was VERY sweet of them - although they could have popped me into a trolley and wheeled me round to save my tired legs!

Nice Nuts... and olives and drinks! 4*

Naomi K. says:

This is a lovely bar, great for a nice quiet drink to get the night started as the atmosphere is laid back and a bit more chilled out than some other Leicester bars!

They have a good selection of drinks and stock some more unusual tipples, they also have lovely olives and nuts!
