About Bar B Q Base

Bar B Q Base is a grill on Uppingham Rd in Leicester, spread across three floors with a different role on each: the ground floor handles ordering and takeaway, the first floor is for eating in, and the second floor is set aside for reservations and large groups. The menu runs from chargrilled chicken and Smash Gourmet burgers to Skirt and Slider burgers, wraps, and a Mongolian grill mix, with gazebo chicken as a recurring item. Spice level can be adjusted when ordering, and chips are served in portions sized for two or three people, alongside a range of sauces. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis. A dedicated hand washing area is on site, and an NHS discount is available.

    “Just simply far too pricey for the type of food they serve. I’ve watched their prices rocket up in the last few years, used to love getting the slider meal but it’s simply not worth the cost anymore. Quality has also dipped and clear to see from other reviews, theme in Leicester prices go up quality dips. Some nice staff there though to be fair.”

    “thought I'd try out the much heralded 'gazebo chicken'. I ordered using the new automated AI voice telephone thing which doesn't give you options for customisation. The IT worked fine although it thought I wanted 4 full chickens, luckily realised what it was about to confirm and amend so that mostly worked. Picked it up, was steaming hot. Excellent. Opened it at home. And therein lies the great disappointment. I dont't normally leave negative reviews but I can't be the only one who sees the flowing red hot lava smothering what would otherwise be a tasty spratchcocked chicken and think 'sick day tomorrow'. I don't understand who enjoys licking standard chicken shop industrial chilli sauce off their charcoal chicken. It makes no sense. Anyway, warning to others, if you aren't into playing volcano with your mouth, then just stick to the far tastier roast chicken.”

    “I’ve been eating here for 10 years and the taste has never changed. The quality is always consistent, and that’s what keeps me coming back. The quarter chicken with naan and salt is still as juicy, smoky, and perfectly seasoned as it was the first time I tried it. The naan is always fresh and soft, and the flavours are spot on every single visit. It’s rare to find a place that maintains such high standards for so long. Highly recommended!”

    “I have ordered from Bbq base for years and honestly disappointed with my recent delivery. Ordered a chicken pita for £10 and was really disappointed. The portion was tiny, barely filled, with just a few dry pieces of chicken and almost no salad or sauce. Definitely not worth the money”

    “Ordered from here several times and the last three times it has been awful. The chicken lacks flavour, the spicy chicken is just drenched with a hot sauce out of a bottle. The bbq wings were drowning in a bbq sauce which again tasted like it was straight from a bottle. The chips are literally refried or re microwaved because they taste like cardboard! I mean take a look at the picture. How hard is it to fry some fresh chips? This is the third time it has happened. I believe this place has gone downhill and the food is no longer consistent. Unfortunately we will no longer be ordering from here.”

Customer Review Summary

The complaints are about recent decline. One reviewer says the last three orders had flavourless chicken, bbq wings drowning in bottled-tasting sauce and chips like cardboard. Others cite rising prices, including a chicken pita described as tiny with a few dry pieces of chicken and almost no salad or sauce. One reviewer found a burger overdone. Even so, several mention friendly staff, and one reported that a phone order for four whole chickens was caught and corrected before confirming.
