welcome to pillings boat house 01509 414627

restaurant & bar

A unique place to relax and enjoy the gentler pace of life. Sitting on our large decking, watching the boats meander past, you can easily imagine you are a million miles away. With each changing season, the view from our restaurant is refreshed and renewed. However, one thing is constant and that is great food and warm welcome. From our small open kitchen our chef’s are able to produce a diverse menu with locally and responsibly sourced produce. All our meat is supplied by local butcher Glenn Lewin, of Sileby. We are also proud purveyors of beers from Charnwood Brewery.

We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a menu that changes with each season. Our menu is simple and excellent value, prepared by our experienced chefs. We are also able to cater for groups and parties. We can cater for up to 50 people for a sit-down meal or up to 150 people for a buffet. We are experienced in organising events, tailoring them to your requirements. Our party planning service means that you can enjoy your event without stress or worry.

Discover somewhere different on your doorstep today and enjoy the local area from a new perspective.
