The small market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch is home to the Fallen Knight, a friendly restaurant and hotel in Kilwardby Street that promises a relaxed and enjoyable meal or stay to its guests.

The restaurant offers an elegant atmosphere in which to enjoy some of the finest cuisine available in the Midlands. The à la carte changes on a monthly basis to make the most of seasonal produce, and opens with starters of homemade carrot and coriander soup, and freshly carved smoked salmon with herb mayonnaise.

The mains are quite a feisty group of dishes with choices such as Wiener schnitzel pan-fried and served with salad garnish and lemon, oven-roasted chicken breast stuffed with cheddar, wrapped in pancetta and served with a red wine sauce, and grilled gammon steak topped with cheese and pineapple slices.

You could relax in one of twenty-four tastefully furnished bedrooms, or head to the Kilwardby Lounge to rendezvous with friends or colleagues over a morning coffee or a glass of wine. The classically decorated bar is the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif or a nightcap before retiring to bed.
