Turtle Bay Leicester
15 Bath House Ln, LeicesterOut for late dinner with a friend. Great service from the start. Ordered two Red Stripes beers and we both took a sip at the same time and instantly knew the beer wasn’t right. Said to waiter and straight away got 2 fresh from another pump and tasted much better. Had the shared board. Halloumi & prawn curry. Great food, can imagine it tastes like that in the Caribbean. Reasonably priced. Would come back. Like the Reggae music in the back ground.

Steak & Lounge Restaurant
43 Abbey St, LeicesterThe food was fantastic. I had the fish and it came with a sauce that it did not even need. They also have a kids menu so it’s very family friendly. Maybe not handicap friendly because you do need to go upstairs and I did not see a lift. Bathrooms were clean. My only issue is we weren’t told until the end of our meal that their card reader wasn’t working and we needed to pay cash. They did have an ATM downstairs which didn’t charge a fee so I don’t think it was too sketchy. Other than that, food was really good. Highly recommend

Pavlos Kebabs & Pizzas
88 Queens Rd, Clarendon Park, LeicesterI love picnics kebabs and these guys are the same except they never read notes so i stopped ordering for the last several months. Yesterday they read and put chilli sauce in kebab as opposed to packing it separately in a tub which is a game changer (it needs to soak into pitta) and put vinegar on fries instead of salt. When they do this, it becomes the best kebab and chips on the planet like picnics.

Costa Express
270 Melton Rd, LeicesterCosta Coffee is a British multinational coffeehouse company headquartered in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Whitbread. It is the second largest coffeehouse chain in the world behind Starbucks and the largest in the UK.[2] Costa Coffee was founded in London in 1971 by the Costa family as a wholesale operation supplying roasted coffee to caterers and specialist Italian coffee shops. Acquired by Whitbread in 1995, it has since grown to 3,401 stores across 31 countries. The business has 2,121 UK restaurants, over 6,000 Costa Express vending facilities and a further 1,280 outlets overseas (including 395 in China).[1][3] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Operations 2.1 Locations 2.2 Costa Express 2.3 Coffee production 3 Costa Book Awards 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History[edit] Italian immigrant brothers Bruno and Sergio Costa founded a coffee roastery in Lambeth, London, in 1971, supplying local caterers. The family had moved to England in the 1960s.[4][5] Costa branched out to selling coffee in 1978, when its first store opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road, London. In 1985, Sergio bought out Bruno's share of the company. Bruno went on to found a tableware company.[6] By 1995, the chain had 41 stores in UK.[7] In 1995, the business was acquired by Whitbread, UK's largest hotel and coffee shop operator, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. In 2009, Costa opened its 1,000th store in Cardiff. In December 2009, Costa Coffee agreed to acquire Coffee Heaven for £36 million, adding 79 stores in central and eastern Europe.[8] Operations[edit] Locations[edit] A Costa Coffee branch in Forster Square Retail Park, Bradford A standard Costa Coffee branch in Cyprus Costa Coffee operates 2,121 outlets in the United Kingdom as of May 2016. Internationally, it operates 1,280 stores throughout the world in 31 countries.[9] The first Costa store outside the UK opened in Dubai in 1999[10] and, in September 2017, was the first coffee shop worldwide to start delivering coffee via drones to customers sunbathing on Dubai beaches.[11] Costa Express[edit] Following Whitbread's £59.5m acquisition of Coffee Nation, a chain of coffee machines, the machines were re-branded as Costa Express.[12] The company plans to expand to target hospitals, universities and transport interchanges.[13] Coffee production[edit] Coffee served in a Massimo cup. Costa Coffee moved its own roastery from Lambeth to Basildon, Essex, in May 2017 with an investment of 38 millions pounds, increasing the roasting capacity from 11,000 to 45,000 tons of coffee beans per year.[14] Costa Coffee employs Gennaro Pelliccia as a coffee taster, who had his tongue insured for £10m with Lloyd's of London in 2009.[15][16] Costa Book Awards[edit] Main article: Costa Book Awards Costa Coffee has been the sponsor of the Costa Book Awards (formerly the Whitbread Book Awards) since 2006.[17]

Despite having other options, I choose to come back to the Sandringham store because of these wonderful ladies. Not only do I always walk away with a great sub, but I also leave with a smile on my face after speaking with them. It just goes to show that people buy from people, and their excellent service makes all the difference. I would rate my experience a perfect 10/10

Walkers Charnwood Bakery
200 Madeline Rd, LeicesterI had an extremely happy 25+ years career working at Charnwood Bakery.I started 1991 when the factory was quite new and so much smaller than it is now.I can remember the really old manual machines that were in place and the progression from them to the new age machines being introduced.I had the greatest, happiest and most proud career and I just wished that my daughters would be able to have a solid, secure and happy career like I had.I have a million wonderful memories and I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Sir David Samworth.I can remember how he would personally visit "pie palace" and he would remember us and genuinely greet us and talk to us about how things are and how are we.He really did have time for his workers and his mantra made that place a great place to be and work for.I can remember so many 16 year olds joining the company way back when and now they are still there with 30+ years experience and with great positions having worked their way up from level one to management etc.I met my wife at "pie palace" and many many great friends. I have nothing but respect, love and affection for Charnwood Bakery.Best wishes ?

Steak & Lounge Restaurant
43 Abbey St, LeicesterThe food was fantastic. I had the fish and it came with a sauce that it did not even need. They also have a kids menu so it’s very family friendly. Maybe not handicap friendly because you do need to go upstairs and I did not see a lift. Bathrooms were clean. My only issue is we weren’t told until the end of our meal that their card reader wasn’t working and we needed to pay cash. They did have an ATM downstairs which didn’t charge a fee so I don’t think it was too sketchy. Other than that, food was really good. Highly recommend

Mem-Saab
98 Vaughan Wy, LeicesterOur 1st visit at this location. We had a good time. Delicious food, attentive and friendly service. We tried two specials and both were delicious. One was a Brocoli starter, and the other one was Lucknowi Chicken korma. My wife had an egg allergy and was looked after at all the stages of service. They brought a dessert plate with a candle for my daughters birthday. The server was very friendly, professional, and efficient at his job. I can't remember his first name, Singh was his last name. Overall, it was a really good evening. The only feedback I have is the music. Very abrupt in the volume and selection.
