Wygston's House Bar & Restaurant 12 Applegate, Leicester LE1 5LD

"Review is for the vegetarian Sunday roast. First the positives: great attentive service; good value wine; fantastic roast potatoes, gravy, and Yorkshire pudding; well-cooked veg; lovely dessert (I had the Chocolate Orange tart); generous portions. 5 stars for all these. The cauliflower cheese was disappointing. It barely had any cheese on it, and if there was a sauce it was so watery that any flavour was lost. 2 stars only. Sadly the meal was let down badly in two areas. The stuffing ball simply wasn’t cooked enough and was a warm, wet, herby mush of breadcrumbs inside. To their credit an attempt was made to bring us more (they arrived just as we were finishing our meal). They’d been deep fried and had a delicious crunchy outer layer, but sadly still very soggy inside. My main criticism is reserved for the vegetable Wellington. It was bland and uninspired and as far as I could tell was basically overcooked potato and carrot in a soggy pastry. Please replace with a protein such as seitan or a nut roast. I’ll keep an eye on the menu and if a new vegetarian main is available I’ll happily return as there was a lot to enjoy here."

"A very nice pub, the small bar area is more than complemented by the attractive drawing room, and well used outside terrace, 4 cask beers are available."

"Relaxed setting, great partions and well prepared foods. Our anniversary dinner was fabulous. Thank you for such a wonderful time! Highly recommend."

"Lovely building to be in. Had sunday lunch. Staff were great. Food overall was reasonably good although our party sent one mushroom starter back and they forgot items in my order. Mussels were slightly gritty and some cracked. Carrots not properly cleaned. Gravy was bang average however and disappointing. There was plenty though. These are things any chef ought to get proper sorted given Sunday lunch is a key part of their service. Improvements needed for sure but it is a fairly good."
