    We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Leicester Arms. We started with the pâté, which was beautifully presented and full of flavour. For the main, we went for the trio roast—each meat was cooked to perfection, and the accompaniments were just as delicious. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable throughout. A thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish—highly recommended!

    Over salted soup, bland herb butter and poor fish and chips. Batter was burnt not golden, chips were oily and hard. Best bit was the minted peas. Disappointing and nowhere near the standard we've experienced here in the past. Just bland, unexciting, badly executed food this time.

    It was our first time visit to The Lesters Arms and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent, staff attentive, and the ambience just about right. We had some loud neighbours who obviously wanted to be heard, but the pub itself was superb. Will definitely return.
