We popped into 'The Knight and Carter' yesterday (Sunday) and wow, what a blast from the past! This spot used to be my local Irish bar back in the 90s, so it’s amazing to see how Leicester has changed over the years. This place hit all the right note... great service, delicious food, and a lovely vibe. I was so happy with the meal; it looked gorgeous, tasted even better, and was super fresh. I’d gone for the roast beef dinner, but they’d run out (clearly a popular choice!), so they offered me steak instead for the same price. And let me tell you... it was melt in-my your mouth good! Thick, tender, perfectly pink slices of beef with incredible flavor. Honestly, I couldn’t have been happier. Before I forget a 'Big shoutout' to the staff... you were all fantastic! Sorry I didn’t catch any names, but you were so friendly and attentive. If you’re in Lesta, definitely check out 'The Knight and Carter' It’s a proper wee gem!

We met with some friends for dinner, I had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant. They were all correct. Food and wine were fantastic with brilliant service from all the staff, comfortable seating with a great atmosphere.

I’m not super easy to wow with food, while i’ve been to a lot of restaurants where the food is nice/ok it’s difficult for me to really be amazed. This food was delicious, I had the chicken with mushroom and dauphinoise truffle potatoes, i do not like mushrooms ever, i finished the mushrooms, the truffle potatoes were divine still thinking about them the day after, the chicken was nice too but nothing insane. My partner had the Salmon and risotto and the salmon was done perfectly. Not crazy for the vinaigrette with the oysters at all but the bloody mary sauce was really tasty, the oysters were clearly very fresh. The dessert portion was tasty but small, perfect to share for us not to be super full up but could probably manage a whole one yourself. Very happy, been to some very expensive restaurants and this blows most of them out the water. Will be coming again.

Delightful pub/ bar/ restaurant! We arrived early for a booking and so sat in the bar area. We were then taken through to the stylish dining room. Attentive staff took our order and remained on hand throughout the evening. We had the mussels and croquettes to start, followed by the chicken supreme and burger (emperor chips added) for mains. All were delicious and generously portioned. If we return to the area, we will certainly visit again!

The service was amazing, staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food was just delicious not to mention the many unique cocktails! there’s a warm ambience to the pub and gorgeous interior! 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait to return again and try out more of their menu!

A group of friends meet here in the pub, food is good but some starters and main just bang average. Food took about 45 mins, considering it was 10 of us at lunch time and was the only table. Great atmosphere

This restaurant offers a fantastic British menu and dining experience. The service was really friendly and our host, Kate, understood the menu and wine list really well. For what you get it was incredible value. We had two starters followed by the pork and fish and chips, all delicious and superbly presented
