Our location
The Observatory Beefeater opened in 1996 alongside the Braunstone Premier Inn hotel next door. We’re Beefeater pioneers – we were one of the first Beefeaters to use the iconic Orange Cow logo, and we still lead the way even today.

We have everything you could want for a perfect meal out, including a spacious dining area with booths and open-plan seating, an enclosed outdoor pub garden and terrace, a comfy bar area with TNT Sports showing the biggest games on two screens and much more.

Why we love Leicester
Leicester is a city with a lot to be proud of, including a rich cultural heritage and history with plenty of fun things to do nearby. This amazing city is best explored after a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner with us at the Observatory Beefeater.

We’re based in Braunstone’s Meridian Business Park, next to a bowling alley, Mossdale Meadows and a huge soft play area. As we’re only a few minutes from J21 off the M1, you could eat with us and then drive to the city centre in 20 minutes!

Leicester is famously where King Richard III’s remains were found in 2015, there’s now a visitor centre dedicated to the fascinating story of his life and death. The King Richard III centre is a brilliant day out, but there’s plenty of other things to see in the city. While you’re in Leicester make sure to visit the Jewry Wall, National Space Centre, The Curve Theatre, Leicester Cathedral and of course, the home of former Premier League winners Leicester City football club at Leicester City Stadium and the Leicester Tigers Rugby club at Welford Road Stadium.
