Run the Sir Robert Peel – Leicester’s match day hotspot!
If you love the buzz of match days, the Sir Robert Peel is the place to be. Just five minutes’ walk from Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road Stadium and Leicester City’s King Power Stadium, this traditional, character-packed pub is the go-to hub for true Leicester fans. Whether it’s pre-match pints, post-match celebrations, or soaking up the atmosphere with fellow supporters, The Peel is right at the heart of it all.
Sitting proudly on Jarrom Street, the pub is also perfectly placed for De Montfort University, Leicester Royal Infirmary, nearby offices, and local residential areas. Inside, there’s a cosy bar, a private snug, and an award-winning courtyard garden that brings a bit of charm to the city. A small kitchen makes it easy to serve up light bites and match-day favourites.
The Peel has a strong community spirit, with regulars from the hospital, church, and local area all part of the family. There’s also a great opportunity to drive things like dominoes and darts teams, and introduce quiz nights - adding even more to its lively community atmosphere. Apart from match days, the pub profits from open-mic nights and live music events. Previously, annual events, including summer beer festivals and its famous Burns Night, further added to its welcoming reputation.
