Just about to dive in but it's sold out :emoticon-0102-bigsm

The most outrageous thing about that bit of food is that 2kg is deemed enough for 6 adults... I'd have half of it for breakfast on Xmas day. Actually, why do Sky and other news sources, always describe British ppl as being outraged over things that are mildly surprising, such as a more expensive beef wellington.
 
Ok, it was freezing in Leicester yesterday so we didn't stray far from the station. We went to:
Ale Wagon, 10/10. Great pint and friendly locals. Started and ended up in there.
Blue Boar, 8/10. Equally friendly, cheese and onion bap about a foot thick £2.50. Limited cask beer range.
2-tailed Lion, 6/0. Ok but it's an evening/weekend pub really.
Rutland & Derby Arms ditto.

Ate in Kayal, Granby street, very good but don't expect the usual madras, vindaloo type of menu items, lots of fish things, Kerala specialities.

Got absolutely mullered after a bottomless brunch in the 2 tailed lion and Rutland and Derby one weekend. Tend to be popular with the puffby crowd particularly when the tigers are playing at home they both get absolutely rammed. Rutland and Derby is too quiet for my liking although quite a nice pub for a city.

Never been in the blue boar.

Blue Boar's worth a look, very small and it was packed, mostly with old folk (like me :emoticon-0100-smile), this was during the afternoon.
