BULLS HEAD
|
The Bull's Head is a traditional village pub dating back to 1627. So when King Charles marched past Clipston on his way to the Battle of Naseby, The Bull's Head had been built just a few years before. Now The Bull's Head is renowned for its fine beers and lagers as well as for its cask-conditioned real ales and its 200 brands of Scotch Whiskey. It is also famed for its warm welcome and comfortable surroundings, not to mention the quality home cooking.

The Hungry Pilot |
Just a mile from Brook Meadow, The Hungry Pilot at the Gliding Centre is a brilliant spot for a no-fuss, great-value meal. This relaxed, cafeteria-style café serves up hearty breakfasts and satisfying lunches at prices that won’t break the bank — perfect for fuelling up before a busy day or refuelling after one!

The Nevill Arms |
Tucked away in the pretty village of Medbourne, this beautifully refurbished country pub is our favourite spot for date night. Set beside a brook in the heart of Leicestershire’s Welland Valley, it blends historic charm with chic, contemporary style. Whether you're enjoying a relaxed drink by the fire or an unforgettable meal in the restaurant or the Bar & Grill courtyard, the setting is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly romantic — a true countryside gem. Its a little further than our other recommendations because it's well worth the trip and we keep going back.

RED LION

This is our local village pub with a great atmosphere yet still retaining its ‘local’ feel, within easy walking distance just a mile up the road from us. The menu changes at least every month to use the freshest locally-sourced ingredients. You can be sure that Andrew and Sarah will give our Brook Meadow guests a warm welcome. 1 mile away. |

The tollemache arms

We highly recommend The Tollemache Arms, awarded Best UK Pub of the Year 2024. Riding high on their success the food and service is fantastic and the buzz infectious. Boasting lovely countryside views and events, although 9 miles away in Harrington it's well worth the trip.
