"My wife and I, and two long-time friends had dinner here and it was quite a good experience, but as per many visits in the past there was a slight niggle that stops me from saying the meal was excellent. As usual we ordered through the app, and the drinks were soon brought to the table. It wasn’t long before the first two meals arrived, and I immediately told the member of staff that delivered them that they had been a bit mean on my coleslaw as there was hardly any in the dish it came in. Now you’d think that she would have apologised and rectified the problem, but no, she just laughed, turned on her heel and went into the kitchen. I was thinking that she may bring more out with the other two meals, but alas that didn’t happen. The other two meals arrived shortly after the first two and were delivered by the same person, who quickly put them on the table and left rather sharpish. Our friend then noticed that she had very little beans and cheese on her baked potato, so she decided to speak to a member of the staff when one of them next came up to the dining area. That didn’t work out too well as the person that brought the meals came up to the table and asked if everything was alright with the meals, but left without us answering, so the service we got was certainly below par. Apart from being short-changed on some of the items on our plates the meals were fine. We always come back to this pub, as no matter how many little grumbles we have about things that are not as they should be, we always consider that we get good value for money, and the meals are normally okay – pity about the staff on this occasion."

Went for breakfast with my son. Food was good and stayed hot after forgetting to get sauces. Staff levels seemed a bit low but we were served quickly.

We've eaten a few times in the Willy Wig, it's what you expect from a Spoons. Went for the spicy meat feast pizza with extra chilies. the pizza looked great, see photo, but it was a bland as bland can be, all you could taste was the tomato base, i ate 4 of the chilis at once, nothing, if you're going to say it's spicy then make it spicy. Very disappointing.

Having visited fairly regularly over the last 20 or so years at the moment this place is very good. The general quality of the food and presentation is good value for money. The staff always are friendly and welcoming even when they're having a testing day. For a number of years it wasn't as good but it seems to have got over that phase. Keep up the good work. Thank you View menu

I just popped in for a pint on my way back from somewhere, one 'Spoons is much the same as another and the Doom Bar is almost always perfect but I just wanted to drop in a short 'review ' as two things wound me up regarding the service. Firstly, the young guy that served me (about 13:00? was one of the most miserable people I 've ever had serve me who wasn 't actively rude. He has a lot to learn about customer service; I really don 't want a false smile and an American style 'Have a nice day, now! ' but actually speaking to the customer might help. Secondly and this can be a real problem in certain Wetherspoons the other person serving, a woman, blatantly ignored me and served a regular firs...

I have visited this pub on several occasions, at different times and on different days. Generally, on my evening visits, it is usually a bit of a scrum to get into the pub and to the bar, as it is very popular with the locals and therefore on a par with most of the others I have visited around the country over the years. If you're going in for a few drinks, then generally good value for money and choice, but generally a little slow getting served as there aren't enough front of house staff, although this is again typical of most Wetherspoons. I have also stopped for food on a few occasions and again, typical of what you would expect from a Wetherspoons, though notably the service is fairly p...

"We ordered takeaway and the order was wrong (not the delivery drives fault) when we called the restaurant the owner also tried to argue that the ezme sauce is a white creamy sauce until we proved him wrong. He then said he will call back in 5 mins for a solution. 15minutes later we called and the person we spoke to said he would deliver a fresh order in 30minutes accepting he had forgotten to send the right order and the person we previously spoke to had left. 1 hour later (still not receiving the correct order) we called again the owner said oh we cannot send your food out you have to come and collect but will be ready in about an hours time. He said he didnt call back as he had gone to deliver another order. We asked if he could deliver our order and he said he doesnt drive. We asked for a refund which he refused. He said we should come and collect and that he was not giving us £60 worth of food for free!? Ridiculous as our order was paid for £35.58 and was wrong (missing items). We explained we had paid for the food and would like our correct order delivered. He point blank refused and was incredibily rude. I would avoid at all costs. Owner has serious issues taking responsibilty for HIS errors. Which in the food industry can seriously ruin his business. I hope he learns before its too late! My advise would be to avoid a very arrogant owner in his deluded world!"

"We visited Oggi meaning today) on a cold November evening. The restaurant was brimming with people already at 6.45, so much so we skipped down to a local for 29 minutes until our table became available. The owner f the restaurant brought us delicious olives and bruschetta while we studied the menu. We were a table of 3 couples, four of whom had been close uni mates of 40 years. There was lots to catch up on, tears and laughter and clinking of glasses. The service was professional as yoi would expect from a good Italian restaurant. I am hard to please. I love good food, cooked well and this food was certainly the most delicious Italian I have eaten. Fat, sweet scallops in their shells, grilled with butter, cream and fine cheese. Rich and delicious. Fat, juicy king prawns cooked to perfection in a spicy tomato and garlic sauce. Thank goodness for the bread to mop up the delicious flavours. We ate pasta Oggi linguini with seafood, fresh cannelloni with ricotta and spinach, the best I have eaten, with such fresh flavours. We had fungi risotto with truffle oil and a portion big enough to feed two! We chose an organic Nero D’Avola from a single estate in Sicily. It was superb. Our host sang to us, recited beautiful poetry and brought a tear to our eyes with his generosity of sprit and honesty. I think each of us loved our experience and came away with a warm spot in our hearts for Reno and his superb Oggi, We will be back, for sure."

"This place is nothing short of 10 stars if I could . The food is outstanding . I’m new to Leicester so it was daunting ordering as it is with any other place you visit but It was such a great descion . Me and...and my husband have confirmed this is it for us now in terms of ordering Chinese this is our go to . Where do I start... the spicy prawns ... wow if your a sea food lover TRY they are delicious , so much flavour and swimming in sauce not a dry dish at all ! The homemade noodles I think the dish is called “leghman” I’m not sure but WOW iv never tried them before this was a new thing and Wow I don’t think I could eat the tradiotional chow mein style noodles after this .They were amazing as were the spring rolls. Crispy and all the food you can taste the difference , the freshness , not no warming in the microwave like iv once had from other places Just for an example of how good it was ... I ordered on Wednesday and ordered again on Thursday . My husband colllected on Wednesday and I thought I would collect this time and the restaurant was fitting for the food produced it was so so clean and there is a window that you can see through to the kitchen this is always a gold star when it comes to eating out you have the option to have a look to see behind the scenes and it’s all spotless and you can tell they enjoy providi my good quality food. The manager also gave me a complimentary drink as I couldn’t help but tell him how great the food was. I do like to take my time to comment when I have received a good service because they defiantly deserve it . Great work guys . I’ll be back ."
