Visited 14th May 2011.
As we were meandering through the city centre we saw a group of guys setting up some instruments and decided to pause a while and listen. As it turned out we though they were pretty good violinists and we enjoyed their brief performance so much we bought one of their CDs. In case you're wondering they were called Stringfever. A bit more walking and we arrived at 'The Last Plantagenet, easily the most cramped pub of the day. Leicester Tigers fans were very much in evidence and Mrs S. really struggled to find us a table. I don't know how she does it but by the time I had finished paying for a Dissarono and Pepsi (£1.90) and a large glass of Pepsi (£1.85) for myself she had procured us somewhere to sit. I'm still wondering why the soft drink consumer is penalised so much.
For us the pub of the day had been 'The Corn Exchange', so much so that if I had a top ten of my favourite Wetherspoon pubs it would almost certainly be in it!
We reluctantly wandered back to the car. We had both enjoyed our visit to Leicester and didn't really want to go home so soon. Our first Groupon adventure had been a resounding success.© John Sinner.
