About The Hercules Inn

Near the historic battlefield of Bosworth, in the picturesque Leicestershire village of Sutton Cheney is the rather lovely Hercules Inn. This unusually named former coaching inn retains that good old traditional country pub air thanks, in great part to it’s location on the Ashby canal and in part to an attractive, traditional pub décor. In summer enjoy a cooling pint with your meal on the suntrap terrace or in winter cosy up by the open fire with a large red wine. The british menu is full of fresh local seasonal ingredients and the food is all homemade even down to the breads and chocolate truffles. Try the king scallop ravioli with celeriac mash, spinach and a mussel beurre blanc.

Sample dishes

  • Crispy tiger prawn cocktail, rocket , courgette and parmesan salad, £6.50
  • 28 day aged 20 oz cote de boeuf, fat chips, seasonal veg, béarnaise sauce (for two to share), £31.95
  • Chocolate tart, homemade mint sorbet, £5.25

The Hercules Inn at Sutton Cheney was a last minute decision for a meal on a Friday night, and we were pleasantly surprised. A smart, clean restaurant with friendly service and good quality food. We'll definitely be going back.

Our meal at the Hercules Inn in Sutton Cheney was OK. Confusion on the booking date meant we had to eat in the bar (I have checked and the booking online was the correct date). It was quiet so the ambience in the bar was ok. The food was nice and the selection for the starters/mains was good. We all opted for the steak which was mostly well cooked - one of us asked for a blue steak which was cooked the same as the rares ordered. The sweet selection was uninspiring and no-one had any.
