About This Pub
Ah, The Aberdale in Wigston – it's one of those local pubs that feels like a proper community hub, you know? From what I've gathered from the chats online, folks really appreciate the warm service; the staff are spot on, always up for a laugh and making sure you're looked after, which makes it a great place to pop in for a casual catch-up. The beers are solid, with reasonable prices that won't break the bank, and if you're into a bite to eat, some reviewers have gone on about the fantastic carvery options – that Caribbean twist sounds like a real winner for a Sunday treat. It's clean as a whistle too, which is always a plus when you're settling in for the evening. On the flip side, it can get a bit too quiet sometimes, especially if you're in the mood for a bit more buzz, and there was that unfortunate parking ticket drama that left one person fuming, even though the staff tried to sort it. Overall, it's got that homely charm going for it, but do keep an eye on the opening times as they vary, and maybe plan your visit around avoiding any car park hassles. If you're in Leicester and fancy a straightforward, no-fuss pub experience, it's worth giving it a go – just take the good with the not-so-good, as with any spot!

I came here to a funeral the food was provided by the family not the pub so I don't know about the food.
The service though was brilliant nothing too much trouble.
Lovely little pub with a nice room for hire and reasonable prices for drinks. Pop in I'm sure you'd feel welcome as I did.
The only problem is I've now got a parking ticket for parking in the car park for £74.00 I was told by the family to follow them and park in the car park. I m shocked as a disabled person I'd asked about parking and told there was a car park had I known it was a private car park I'd have parked outside with my blue badge. I'm really upset no one told me. And I didn't see anything because I wasn't looking for any warning signs. I was at my lively friend's wake.
😢
Sadly I tried calling the pub but no responce and I had to argue to get it reduced to £30.00 please inform new customers they will get a parking ticket from using the car park or put up a big sign right where you park. This was now weeks ago so I had to pay even as a blue Bade user. But thankyou for the offer.
Very clean pub, bit quiet when we were in but good beer and nice staff.
Didn't try the food as it was early.
Visited 31st of January 25 nice people nice staff nice beer received a parking ticket.
For parking in their carpark told that they had validated the car as my partner was disabled and I visited the toilet on my return to the bar was reassured it was taken care of had a laugh with some nice people enjoyed the atmosphere nice couple of drinks thought about visiting again only to receive a parking ticket not nice 🤔
