CAMRA Good Beer Guide: The 9 best pubs in the Harborough and Lutterworth area
The Guide, which surveys 4,500 of the best pubs across the UK, is the definitive beer drinker’s guide for those seeking the best pints in the nation’s pubs.
It is a tough time for pubs and breweries and CAMRA is campaigning for more support for the Government to protect local businesses, in the wake of a cost-of-business crisis and the constant pressure of fuel bills.
Here are the local pubs that have been selected by the CAMRA experts.
For the full list of pubs recommended in the edition, order The Good Beer Guide 2024 on the CAMRA website
1. Admiral Nelson, Market Harborough
Address: 49 Nelson Street, LE16 9AX What CAMRA says: A friendly and welcoming locals’ pub in a quiet street west of the centre of this historic market town. There is a lounge with TV (often showing rugby) and a bar with darts, pool, jukebox and another TV. Photo: Google Street View
2. Beerhouse, Market Harborough
Address: 76 St Mary’s Road, LE16 7DX (directly behind St Marys chippy) What CAMRA says: Market Harborough’s first micropub is in a converted furniture shop. The focus is very much on beer – no food, gaming machines or loud music. There are 20 taps for draught products – the first eight for cask ales, the rest for KeyKegs and ciders.
