Quick info
About The Bradgate
On Main St in Leicester, The Bradgate is a family restaurant built around a pizza oven and a roast dinner menu. The beef shin filled Yorkshire pudding sits alongside the Bradgate pizza as a standout from the kitchen, and a set menu runs for those wanting a fixed option. Vegan curry and vegan wine are both offered for those avoiding meat or dairy. The pub takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and cash is not accepted, so card payment is required. New owners have refurbished the patio areas and the interior, and a real fire stays lit on site. The building keeps a garden terrace and a children's play area alongside the dining room, rounding out its country pub format for family visits.

Customer Review Summary
Pizza from the visible oven draws the most praise, with reviewers calling the Bradgate pizza superb, bigger and better than expected, and far better than anywhere else. Close behind are the beef shin filled Yorkshire pudding, a salmon dish on smashed potatoes with a chive sauce, a vegan curry with medium spice, and a roast dinner. One diner found the choice excellent for coeliac and gluten free eating. Staff are described as friendly and attentive, and several note the refurbished interior and patio. The complaints are smaller but specific. One reviewer found the calamari rubbery and overcooked, another thought the pork steak a little firm, and a third said it took so long to take their drinks order, with a longer wait for the food. One reviewer also found the place not very busy early in the evening. During that slow visit, two meals were missed from the order, and the staff apologised and provided them free of charge.

“Food is outstanding and staff are excellent and attentive! Great pub to visit as a couple, group of friends or large family gatherings. Have previously chosen a selection of pizzas which are delicious and far better than anywhere else. Have tried a number of dishes off the menu especially the dishes that the Head Chef promotes on the socials. It really helps entice you to try the amazing dishes that are currently leaving the kitchen at The Bradgate. You cannot go wrong with the set menu - great value for money!”

“We chose this based on reviews and proximity to the National Space Centre. The outside is beautiful kept and the inside also attractive. We were served by two relatively new staff, both of whom were very friendly. I was very happy with my large piece of salmon on a bed of smashed potatoes with purple sprouting broccoli. The chive sauce was lovely. My husband had the pork steak which was a little on the firm side but the chips were perfect.”

“Heading home after my weekend stay locally, I decided to pop in on the off chance they could fit me in for Sunday lunch — and I’m so glad I did! I was greeted with such a warm welcome and they kindly found space for me. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the beef shin filled Yorkshire pudding 😋 — genuinely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The staff, although young, were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for me. They were polite, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure I had a great experience. The music and atmosphere were spot on too — relaxed and enjoyable without being too loud. The only small downside for me personally was that they didn’t accept cash, as I prefer having the choice of payment method. That said, this is just my personal preference and doesn’t take away from the quality of the food or how professional and welcoming the staff were. I’d definitely return again if I’m back in the area in the future.”
