A bowl of golden, creamy mac and cheese is something very magical. It is cosy and soothing and puts your spirits in the right mood after a long day. In Bowling Green Pub, we have made it something unique, the final mac and cheese Leicester pub experience.
The Bowling Green, one of the oldest pubs in Leicester, founded way back in 1733, is a mix of historical, welcoming, and comforting food that Leicester people simply can't get enough of.
You can spend time here to have a good meal, watch sports live with your friends, or experience themed nights full of flavour and laughs, and you will feel like you are at home at all times in our pub.
The Ultimate Comfort Food: Why Mac and Cheese
There is no other dish which can be compared to the nostalgic value of mac and cheese. The whitish sauce, sticky cheese, and hot-cooked pasta make it the nap definition of a comfort food that Leicester residents need in the kitchen of The Bowling Green Pub.
The chefs are also proud of coming up with a rich and balanced mac and cheese. It is a mixture of fine cheeses, a touch of seasoning, and a crunchy baked top, and the dish is enough to satisfy any craving. And since we all have our own ideal version, you will find an artistic twist on our menu – classic cheddar or smoky bacon, hot jalapeño, and even pulled BBQ chicken.
The Bowling Green Pub – Tradition and Taste
The Bowling Green is not an ordinary pub in Leicester; it is somewhere one can find stories, laughs, and fantastic food. We have been known to unite people over good food and cool drinks since we launched our doors close to 300 years ago.
The Bowling Green has a welcoming mood, and you will immediately notice that when you enter the place. You can sit in a comfortable nook inside or on a bench in our large garden and will surely find a spot where you can sit down and enjoy the moment.
When that golden, aromatic mac and cheese comes to your table, you will understand why it is one of our most-loved meals.

It is an informal affair, it is a night out, and it is all you need in a mac and cheese Leicester pub evening.
