ASK - Leicester

For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking. Then one day I decided to put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered that I could not have been more mistaken.

Bakers Arms, The

Another fine old Leicestershire pub with a reputation for good food amongst friendly and relaxed surroundings. The menu never stays the same very long but its consistently high standards remain the same, with the result that booking is advised.

Black Horse, The

In these barren times of bland Nitro Keg beer and pre-packed, deep frozen, de-hydrated Pub Meals, the Black Horse is a refreshing oasis, where you can still get good beer and freshly prepared food.

• Cuisine(s): Thai
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £17.00

Bobby's

Not unsurprisingly Leicester has as fine a collection of curry houses as you could wish to find this side of Madras and many of them are concentrated in what has come to be known as Curry Mile. Bobby's is one of the well-established locations and has earned itself many accolades for its vegetarian approach to cuisine, but more recently has had a major revamp, making it one of, if not the first retro Indian restaurant in the area.

• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £21.00

Boboli Restaurant

The good people of Leicestershire seem to be showing their appreciation of Sarah and Lino Poli's efforts to bring real Italian food to their area, though one wonders how much the proximity of East Midlands Airport has to do with this popularity.
