Enderby, Leicestershire:
Our nearest pub while on a short break. Near as in “opposite our rental property”.
This place impressed from the start. We walked in at 13:55, and were still able to order food (the kitchen closed at 14:00), the landlady was friendly and pleasant, there was decent beer and an alcohol-free choice.
Inside is multi-room and traditional, and there’s outside and semi-outside space (a roofed-over area at the back). Outside is traditional and thatched!
Fantastic pub with great food: they only usually do food at lunchtime at the moment but are trialling evening food. Opening hours aren’t all-day every-day, being more like traditional hours, so check before visiting.
