the cost with a mate.
Kings

Set in a very traditional and relaxed atmosphere, Kings is the perfect
place to eat in peace, especially when every price on the menu doesn't
stem above a fiver. Small beer garden.
Courthouse
6B New Walk
0116 255 9633
Courthouse has a misty pub atmosphere, which is the perfect place
to kick back with a friend, have a bite to eat and play some pool.

meal. The most expensive dish on their menu is a big breakfast at
£3.

fiver at the most.
