The acclaimed Regency Restaurant is just another reason why Leeming House is such a desirable destination. The dining room – decorated with plush carpets, garden-fresh roses and theatrical drapes – enjoys panoramic views of the gardens and lake, and the modern British menu includes favourites such as the pan-fried coley with crushed potatoes, and the glazed lemongrass tart.

MONDAY & TUESDAY is 2 courses for £25 p/personWEDNESDAY is Pie and Burger nightTHURSDAY to SUNDAY is our locally sourced main monthly menu.We’re a 17th century dog friendly coaching inn run by husband and wife team Tom and Claire. There isn’t a straight line in the place and we’ve kept the old character of the pub while injecting some more contemporary charm of our own. Our monthly menu showcases the best the local area has to offer featuring things like hogget reared in the village and wild garlic picked from local woodland. Our bar is stocked with locally brewed hand pulled ales, a wide variety of spirits and a good selection on tap with bar snacks alongside at the weekend. New for this year we now have a beautiful outdoor seating and dining area where you can catch the afternoon and early evening sun while trying to spot every one of Tom’s 32 fish (they’re not on the menu though!)
