The multi award-winning – and, many would say, ‘Best Steakhouse in Leicester’ – 1573 Bar & Grill, is celebrating 15 years at the top of the Leicestershire restaurant scene with a special, one-week-only, 15% ‘thank you’ discount for patrons old and new.
1573 Bar & Grill is housed in one of Leicester’s oldest stone-built buildings dating back to 1573. It sits in the heart of the Highcross food quarter and has proved itself one of the city’s finest independent restaurants and grill houses with a red-hot reputation.
This historic boutique restaurant has garnered multiple awards and accolades, including winners of Taste of England ‘Best Casual Dining Experience’ in the Leicestershire Tourism Awards 2022 and Trip Advisor’s ‘Traveller’s Choice Award 2023’ since it was taken on in 2009 by independent hospitality specialists, SRK Hospitality. SRK are owners/operators of much-loved venues such as Barceloneta, Bar Dos Hermanos, Restaurant 263, and previous owners of The White Peacock in Leicester.

The Proprietor of SRK Hospitality Ltd comments: “The world has changed immeasurably over the past fifteen years, but our passion for serving Leicester’s best dining experience has never faltered: we’re as passionate today as we were in 2009 and to celebrate our anniversary season, we’re offering diners – old and new – a very special 15% discount off their bills, as our way of saying thank you.”
The special discount is exclusively available from 18-24 March.
Whilst steeped in four century-old history, this former Old (Free) Grammar School Grade II listed building has a keen eye on the here and now and proudly sources ingredients for its much-loved menu locally, wherever possible with many dishes also reflecting the changing seasons.
1573 is renowned for, among other things, sensational steaks (The 1573 Steak Experience); grilled, flavoursome fish (From The Land & Sea) and delicious vegetarian dishes (From The Garden) lovingly created by their in-house team of talented chefs, many of whom were classically trained at some of the finest restaurants across the country.
Stand-out dishes on the lunch and evening menus – and customer favourites – include the 1573 Mixed Grill with Cajun Prawns; T-Bone Steak; Pan Roasted Salmon and, of course, the Sunday Roast with all the trimmings.
As spring approaches, 1573 Bar & Grill is home to one of the city’s most popular terraces – the perfect sun trap to enjoy drinks and dining, and watch the world go by.
