The Parcel Yard - Leicester

Ideal place to meet up in a casual bar style environment. Food and service very good plus a large range of beers and modest wine list.

Xmas meal we had yesterday was the worst I've ever had and cost £30 for 3 courses, almost twice as much as I had paid for 2 other group Xmas meals at Keepers Lodge and Hobby Farm (Hobby Horse). We were told they had lost their chef the day before but no-one contacted us prior to us arriving for the meal. Where we were seated it was so cold, it's the first time I've worn coat and gloves to eat a meal. Several others also kept their coats on. Food took ages to come out, people were eating main course without gravy as that came out quite a while after the food. There were 3 or 4 roast potatoes on the plates, they were so small and thin if you stacked them on top of each other they didnt equate to the size of one normal sized roast potato. Food wasn't hot and I gave mine back and asked them to warm it in the microwave. There were so many complaints we were offered free drink each, most of us had a hot drink as we were so cold. The best part of the meal was the cheese board, but you can't really go wrong with that and the whole meal wasn't worth more than £10. This pub should stick to pub food. The only plus points are the venue and staff are nice.

I stopped by this restaurant on a weeknight before catching the train, as it is in a convenient location. The drinks were affordable, but the inside of the restaurant had a strong smell of urine.

An ideal venue for a quick drink, a catch up with friends, or a night out. Amazing service from Emily throughout my visit, making me feel welcome and valued as a customer. The choice of drinks was extensive, and had plenty to offer.

I guess all the good reviews are from staff or regulars. We went in. My Dad 79, sister 55 and brother in law also , after getting off the train. I have been here before the pandemic, so it was my idea to stop off there. As with the last review we seemed to get served last for our drinks, yet people just walked in and grabbed a drink under my brother in Laws nose. The staff didn't even acknowledge him. We got our drinks eventually and went outside where we thought it would be pleasant, but wow! were we wrong! Not long after we settled into the dogs cage, that once was a peaceful patio, we suddenly joined by a group of people. Who literally began behaving like kids. Laughing and shouting so loud we had to shout over them to just chat. They were soon joined by others. It became unbearable. Singing as loud as a football crowd, screaming and dancing about. They knocked over my drink, with no apologies, and made my Dad feel so uncomfortable that we just left and didn't order any food as planned . My sister did try to complain to a member of staff, but was told not to worry, they are regulars and they won't make us clean it up! What a cheek! The doormen were polite, but perhaps they should be keeping their eye on the patio. Controlling the noise and thuggish behavior of their regulars.
