Loughborough Restaurant Guide

Old Bull's Head, The

Selected Restaurant

The Old Bull's Head is a typical village pub that has a stylish contemporary feel, a light open dining room with a striking centrepiece in the form of a wall to ceiling glass wine cellar. Its stylish interiors, spacious restaurant and large bar are much prized by the locals in the leafy village of Woodhouse Eaves and those who come from further afield to savour its appeal.

Featured RestaurantBook Online

This handsome former alehouse has re-emerged as a well-run and welcoming gastropub within easy distance of Loughborough.
