Visited on a Friday evening after hearing about good international beers available on draft at a great price.
Wasn't disappointed, Birrificio Angelo Poretti pint for £3.99 and others. Service was great.
The pub was very busy and loud around 7pm with people of all ages. It became fairly quiet after 8pm.
Didn't try food.
The Wetherspoon is a great option for anyone looking to enjoy an affordable meal and casual drinks in a lively, central location. This spacious, multi-level venue blends typical pub vibes with a unique touch that reflects Leicester’s charm. Here’s what you can expect:
The pub is well-kept and clean, with plenty of seating available across various sections, making it suitable for groups of all sizes or solo visitors. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, often buzzing with a mix of students, locals, and shoppers. It can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, but the staff usually manage the crowds efficiently.
The menu features all the classic Wetherspoon favorites at reasonable prices. The food is generally well-prepared, with satisfying portions, and service times are reasonable despite the pub's busy nature. The range of beers, ales, and spirits is impressive, along with great deals on popular drinks. Their breakfasts are especially favored, offering everything from traditional English breakfasts to lighter options.
The staff are polite and handle the crowds effectively, though it can get packed, which may lead to slight delays. They are typically helpful if you have any questions or dietary requirements.
Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, meeting friends for drinks, or just winding down after a day in Leicester, the High Cross Wetherspoon provides solid value in a vibrant setting. It’s a straightforward, dependable pub experience that’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Ordered steak and jacket potato plus a drink included. If you wanted extras like salad, sauce, etc, you would have to pay extra . Steak was okay, nothing special
Needed a sauce to go with it or a bit of salads, as it was very bland .
But it was cheap and cheerful.
Not first choice to go and eat, but if you're on a budget,and you don't mind
having pub meals.
My granddaughter had the noodle soup
She likes the soup, but again, if you wanted chicken or an egg, that would be extra to pay. Otherwise, it was just a veggies options .
Overall cheap and cheerful!
Fabulous place. Super clean. Bright and airy, quiet on the Thursday afternoon we popped in for lunch. Fish and chips enormous 😋🐽. The car park opposite is paybyphone or cash. Unfortunately for one lady, her disabled parking badge had expired and she got a fine😱 be careful.
We visited The High Cross in August 2023. Set in a wonderful Grade II Listed building, the pub is quite spacious inside and traditionally decorated. There’s plenty of seating and a sunken seating area to the side of the bar with a number of pleasant bookshelf booths. Really nice enclosed beer garden but the men’s toilets were mid-refurbishment when we visited.
