About
The Flying Childers is tucked away in the quiet Leicestershire countryside, just outside Melton Mowbray, a town known for pork pies, Stilton cheese, and an old-school charm that hasn’t been polished away. Whether you’re just after a quick pint or a proper meal, it’s got that relaxed, local feel where you won’t be questioned for bringing a muddy dog in.
The menus span the whole day and are family-friendly, from breakfast buffets to lunch and evening, and there are always some specials.
Dog Access and Rules
Dogs are welcome inside the pub and in the beer garden with a heated patio. Water bowls are provided, and there’s no separate dog menu or anything fancy, but if you ask nicely, they’ll usually rustle up a little treat. Some areas of the dining space may be off-limits for dogs during busy times, so if you’re planning a sit-down meal, it’s worth calling ahead.
Things To See & Do
Melton Mowbray is a solid choice for a dog-friendly day out. The town is small but has a good mix of old buildings, local shops, and cafes that don’t mind dogs tagging along. There’s also the Melton Country Park, which is about 10 minutes away and a good shout if you want a quick stroll before heading for a pint.
Bradgate Park is about a 25-minute drive and well worth it. There is plenty of space for your dog to run, deer roam about, and some old ruins to look at.
Access and Facilities
If you’re driving, there’s parking on-site.
