The Great British boozer – there’s nothing else quite like it. Whether it be a traditional pub serving the best selection of local ales or a modern venue dishing up the best homemade food, there’s nothing better than a trip to the pub.
One thing is certain in Leicestershire – there’s no shortage of good pubs to choose from. We’re spoiled for choice with everything from cosy rural country pubs to fashionable city centre establishments.
They are a British institution but sadly we lost many during the Covid-19 pandemic as the restrictions put in place saw many forced to close the doors for them never to reopen them. It is not just good food and beer that makes pubs popular. It’s the people – the landlords who are always friendly and willing to share a chat, the regulars you can always share a joke and a laugh with.
