Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire:
Historic pub in a medieval building sympathetically converted in 1996. Originally gifted to Anne of Cleves by Henry VIII as part of her divorce settlement, apparently.
Traditional inside and out- beams, tapestries, low doorways, stone floor.
Pleasant staff, cask ale and alcohol free on offer, good food, nice outdoor space. Very busy on a bank holiday Sunday lunchtime, but we got served in a reasonable time.
