I visited Leicester for the first time on Thursday and was surprised to find a lack of pubs in the centre of town serving real ale. Maybe I didn't look in the right places and ended up settling for a pint of Guinness in "The Market Tavern" which I couldn't finish. Later in the evening I found "The High Cross". Normally I don't seek out spoons pubs as they lack something in character and the staff are usually robotic and soulless. However, this pub is something of an exception. The service was efficient and overall the staff (and other customers) were friendly. It happened to be curry club night when I dropped in and I enjoyed a generous serving of lamb rogan josh and a pint of Ruddles ale in comfortable surroundings for £4.99. The High Cross is a clean well run pub but there is nothing about the place that would make me rush back. It lacks charisma and feels like it is missing a few heartbeats in terms of atmosphere. I'll give it 6.

THIS PUB USED TO BE A HANG OUT FOR LEICESTERS INFAMOUS BABY SQUAD FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS. ITS STILL FREQUENTED BY A FEW TO THIS DAY. CHEAP RUBBISH THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM WETHERSPOONS.

Straight up what you see is what you get pub. Cheap and cheerful. If you're not expecting too much then you'll be happy!

Came in here on Saturday because the Criterion was without electricity and I wanted something to eat. The fish & chips were very good indeed: I know JDW food is mass-produced but it just seemed better turned out here than in some others in the chain. The place was busy but not too crowded for a Saturday evening, a friendly easy-going crowd, presumably mostly students but also some older drinkers like me and my friends.The ales we drank were in good nick. I'd go back again.
