Denoting the year the former Old Grammar School was built, 1573 Bar & Grill overlooks the modern Highcross shopping centre and offers contemporary dining within its stone walls. A plaque outside lists among its benefactors, wool merchant William Wigston, and dinner in his former home, Wygston’s House, is also on Leicester’s menu. This timber-framed restaurant is the oldest dwelling in the city, where instead of the pottage served up in 15th century, diners can tuck into anything from a sirloin steak to a vegan burger.
