Got some friends down from up north this weekend and they want to go for a Sunday roast in town before there train home. Anyone know of any good places in the city centre as out of town isn't an option 

The Font used to do a banging one. Not sure if the new management still do food there.

Right guys I had booked to take the mrs to the churchhill arms in paxford next week, which is meant to be a top top place. On the cusp of a star I think. Anyway they had a fire so we can't stay over, so we are going to leave that till next year.

 

So I need an alternative in Leicestershire. What is the best restaurant around? I live in ashby but will travel 40mins. Considering North bar and kitchen in Leicester, has anyone been? I have been to places like the windmill inn and tbf that is a possibility, but I fancied trying something a bit different.

North Bar is lovely, great food and smashing cocktails. 

 

Only downside is the manager is a bit weird.

North is ok to good, they do try hard to be that bit better, Johns can have a waiting list to book on popular days.

 

Personally think you can't go wrong at Sapori Anstey, if you are looking for fine dining at reasonable prices. They do a Sunday roast as well, but their style. Andrea the owner / chef is reckoned to be one of the best chefs around, I think he has won national awards.

Hmm it's definitely an option.

Is there anywhere decent City Centre that isn't too fancy? IE somewhere that sells meat, chips etc

 

Fancied eating a meal tomorrow before the game. Whenever I've done it before I usually end up at Nandos but wanted a change.

It’s not in the centre but is well worth a journey to Narborough Road for Istanbul. You really won’t regret it and in walking distance to the stadium.
