O.W. at The Grand

In the storied halls of The Grand Hotel Leicester, O.W. at The Grand pairs Victorian heritage with modern Art Deco elegance, offering refined yet warm hospitality. Set in Leicester City Centre, the restored interiors create a stage for easygoing lunches, celebratory dinners, and cocktail conversations.

The kitchen leans into British comfort and bright flavours, with classic fish and chips given Charnwood beer crunch, while a grilled chicken supreme arrives over truffle mash with charred leeks and a whisper of white wine sauce. Global notes weave through the mix: masala chicken skewers with mango chutney and cool cucumber, or a warm Cajun chicken salad. Plant-forward appetites are welcomed with a generous sharing board and a roasted squash and lentil salad jewelled with pomegranate and hazelnuts.

For something indulgent yet familiar, the Red Leicester melt on toasted sourdough, and the wild venison burger with tomato chutney has local character; the ploughman’s platter gathers Stilton, Brie, Red Leicester and pork pie in a congenial spread. Snacks like marinated olives, smoked almonds, and Parmesan truffle fries fit effortlessly around conversation.

Service is attentive without fuss, the mood elegant yet inviting, and every plate feels both recognisable and just a little new. Settle in, savour the detail, and let the evening unfold. Book a table, bring good company, and make a grand night of it.
