About Queen of Bradgate

Queen of Bradgate is a pub in Leicester at 93 High St, serving a British menu with vegan-friendly dishes alongside a list of beers. Upstairs, a private terrace and beer pong and ping pong tables give the space a purpose for hire, and it is booked for private events and parties. Groups can arrange a buffet with both veggie and non-veg options. At the bar, the cocktails include the French Martini and the Pornstar Martini, and the pub also runs cocktail making sessions for those who want to learn the drinks.

Customer Review Summary

Cocktails draw the most praise, with the French Martini and Pornstar Martini singled out, and two bartenders among the reviewers were impressed by how balanced and good-looking the drinks were. Close behind is the food, which reviewers call consistently good and not typical pub fare. One vegan diner enjoyed the wild mushroom risotto and vegan brownie, plus mocktails like the painters punch and elderflower mint fizz. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, from a server who had garlic bread made to bar teams who kept a busy birthday crowd served. The upstairs gets credit for private events, with beer pong, ping pong and a private terrace. Reviewers note live music changes the weekend atmosphere and brings a larger, younger crowd. Criticisms are minor: one found the burger very plain, one disliked being asked to pay for each order immediately while seated, and one said the toilets could use a revamp. Dogs being allowed earns a mention, and a cocktail making session is described as good fun.

    “Amazing experience! Cocktail Making with Lucy was excellent and good fun. Amy helped to arrange a very successful evening. 🙏🏻👏”
  • A. B.
    “We were here recently for our friends' 40th birthday party, and it was a brilliant night. A huge thank you to the team for letting us in during the day to set up. Having that extra time was incredibly helpful and very much appreciated! The bar staff in the evening were absolutely incredible. They worked so diligently and managed the busy crowd exceptionally well, keeping everyone served with a smile. The toilets could probably do with a bit of a revamp, but honestly, that didn't detract at all from what a fantastic party it was. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it for an event!”

    “Amy was absolutely amazing and was a lovely server for us. She checked in on us during our food to ensure we enjoyed everything and even went out of her way to have us some garlic bread made.”

    “Really enjoy coming here for the food. It's consistently good food with some occasions being really exceptional. Really not what you'd expect if you judge the place by it's cover/location. The staff are also really good, attentive and friendly. Tip - after 7 or 8pm they often have live music on a weekend that really changes the atmosphere and brings in a larger younger crowd. Not a complaint as it's good to see the place busy but if it's not for you, best to get there before. If in doubt... Give it a try! Never had a bad experience yet.”
