The Crows Nest in Leicester

Ah, The Crows Nest – it's one of those pubs that just makes you smile from the moment you walk in. I've been hearing great things from mates who've popped by, and from the reviews, it's clear this place knows how to make everyone feel welcome. The staff really shine; they're attentive and go out of their way, like sorting out dietary needs without a fuss – it's that kind of thoughtfulness that sticks with you. The food's another winner; the Sunday Carvery comes highly recommended, and it's not just your average meal, but something that'll leave you satisfied without breaking the bank. Plus, if you're with the family, it's brilliant for the kids with things like bouncy castles and outdoor areas to let off steam, making it a top choice for a relaxed day out. On the flip side, their online presence feels a bit lacking – I tried checking the website and hit a snag, which might put some off if they're planning ahead. And those operating hours? They look a bit muddled in the details, so it's worth confirming to dodge any disappointment. All in all, though, it's a solid spot with a friendly buzz that outweighs the minor niggles; I'd say it's well worth a visit for a pint and a chat with friends.
