Turtles Head Posted 25 June 2011 Posted 25 June 2011 I did a quick search but couldn't find anything similar. Being a chef, I'm curious to where people have eaten lately and what it was like. Not sure if the thread would take off but would be good to get a few reviews of places, wherever they are. I don't live in Leicestershire so I have no idea as to what good places there may, or may not, be to eat in. So...I recently ate at The York pub in Sheffield, in Broomhill. Really good selection of local ales, had a Jaipur and a Moonshine. To start, the mrs and I shared a platter of homemade bread, chutney, ham hock terrine, pickled onions, local cheddar. It was all really nice, apart from the salad on the side which was rank to be honest. Impressed that they do their own pickled onions, tasty stuff. Next, I had Three Little Pigs, a dish with many different elements of pork; black pudding, parma ham, loin, belly pork, crackling. As well as red wine gravy, apple sauce and spinach. All very nice. Did have to order a side of green veg just to break up the meat feast a little. The mrs had home smoked belly pork, dauphinoise potatoes and cider gravy. She enjoyed hers too, loved the belly pork, really tender. Overall, nice food, good atmosphere, nice(and fit) waiting staff. We paid £47, two drinks and two courses each. Would recommend it and will go again. It did cost more than we expected though, for a pub meal. But then it was better than we expected. Anybody else?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 25 June 2011 Posted 25 June 2011 Best food I've ever eaten was at a place in China town in Birmingham, was only 13/14 at the time and have no idea what it was called, but it was immense.

Thracian Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 Despite my son being a professional chef who now cooks for a whole gaggle of household names on a daily basis (here) http://www.stokepark.com/ , I had one of the best steaks I'd ever tasted at Entropy's last week (42, Hinckley Road, not far from Narborough Road junction). Decent wine list too, including the house red. They do a cheap steak night offer on a Tuesday, £30 for two. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7ADFA_en&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=entropy+leicester&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=entropy&hnear=0x487742ab49b76c73:0x9a151d2a6fb49cb8,Leicester&cid=6524091334995535985&ei=W
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 The Black Horse Inn, at Lacey Green. Superb home cooking, lots of it, and very cheap. Average for two course meal is about £15. Lot's of great real ales too!
The Year Of The Fox Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 The Hunting Lodge in Barrow is very nice. Great food, not the cheapest though. It has a brilliant garden you can eat in as well. I bet thats been rammed today!
The Doctor Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 Cuisine Of India in Wigston. Brilliant restaurant, the food is top notch & the customer service there is like nothing any other restaurant i've been to has offered.

FoxesAreBlue Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 Cuisine Of India in Wigston. Brilliant restaurant, the food is top notch & the customer service there is like nothing any other restaurant i've been to has offered. I can second that, used to live about 20seconds walk away, bloody love that place

Trav Le Bleu Posted 26 June 2011 Posted 26 June 2011 Cuisine Of India in Wigston. Brilliant restaurant, the food is top notch & the customer service there is like nothing any other restaurant i've been to has offered. That's just around the corner from me. Top curry house though! If you're ever over in north Norfolk can I suggest this place? The Carpenter's Arms - Wighton Top pub food! Had our anniversary meal there and wasn't diappointed. The menu varies each day and the atmosphere and service is great. Not cheap, but not expensive. It doesn't look much from the outside, but don't let that put you off. Probably the best meal I've ever had was at this place though - http://www.mustardseedrestaurant.co.uk/ - great food, well cooked, beautiful location (overlooking the River Ness in Inverness), but not too cheap. Our two courses and drinks cost two of us £87.
FantasticMrFuchs Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Can anyone recommend a nice place for a Sunday Lunch? Preferably South Leicestershire way. Thanks
Soar Fox Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Can anyone recommend a nice place for a Sunday Lunch? Preferably South Leicestershire way. Thanks Man at arms in Bitteswell. The shires, peatling Parva I think. The Grey Goose in gilmorton. 1573 outside in the new Highcross is nice might be a bit far out though.
Carl the Llama Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 There's a disappointing lack of fellatio jokes in here.
Kitchandro Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Anyone know what San Carlos is like? Really good mate, been going there for years.
sphericalfox Posted 8 January 2013 Posted 8 January 2013 Anyone know what San Carlos is like? The staff won't go down on you, unless you tip heavily
