Local Hero, Leicester

About us

At the Local Hero you’ll find a variety of great value pub favourites on the menu, plus our favourite steaks, meat combos and burgers.

Our amazing range of beef steaks are our speciality and are matured for 35 days, seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper and oil before being flame-grilled just the way you like them.

All of our steaks are served on a hot iron skillet to keep your meal hotter for longer and sizzling all the way to your table.

If you dare, take on our Flaming Food Challenges like the Flaming Challenge Burger, the gigantic 32oz ‘Bulls Head’ Steak, scorching Hot Hot Hot! Challenge or the mighty Trash Can Challenge. If you defeat the meat we’ll put your name and photo on our “Wall of Flame”.

Great pub unfortunately won't be able to go there again took my family to see what it was like on the 4/1/24 paid by credit card and it wasn't until the 8/1/24 they took money from my account this is how it goes according to the bank so that's not the problem we stayed for 30 minutes and never again As we have been nothing but harassed ever since by a company called parking eye they try to threaten you with a hundred pounds fine if you don't prove your innocence just for having one drink you get months of aggravation and threats from them so sorry to say won't be using the local hero again because of threats by parking eye

Today me and 18 other family members attended for Christmas Day Dinner. We were greeted and shown to our table, which was laid beautifully. The service was quick, no orders were messed up. Nothing was to much trouble. The staff were bubbly and friendly, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Thankyou so much we will be booking again, the food was lovely and the portions were massive. The kids could be kids too. The prices and menu was fab great selection. Merry Christmas.

Good customer service in a nice pub / restaurant. Great place where you can eat and watch live sports and grab a drink at the same time. Food is nice and presented well, also good prices. They have brill deals on food and drinks on certain days of the week. Shots from £1. Also has a pool table 🎱 Parking is free outside.

Visited for the first time for breakfast, the service was really good and the food was hot and really nice. For the value for money portion I would give it a full five as well because it was a good size portion. Will definitely make this a go to for future morning outings and loads of parking spaces as well. It's not close to where we live but we met up with friends so was a midway point. Went back this week and still exactly the same, really good 👍 Wednesday 5th October 2022 Went again and this time I remembered to take photos
