The owners and staff at Foxton Locks Inn are celebrating being named Tourism Pub of the Year in the Leicester and Leicestershire Excellence in Tourism Awards held at the Mercure Grand Hotel.
Foxton Locks Inn shared the top honours on the night with city centre bar The Exchange.
Now in their 4th year, the awards celebrate excellence in the region, with accolades for local visitor attractions, accommodation providers, restaurants and events. The pub’s entry was also commended for their commitment to regular staff training, use of local suppliers, community involvement and high standards of customer service.
“We have put a lot of hard work into making Foxton Locks Inn a great place to visit, so I am delighted to have that formally recognised by experts in the industry,” comments owner Stephanie Hamblin. “We are fortunate to have a fantastic waterside location which attracts visitors from Leicester and beyond, as well as our loyal local customers. However, maintaining a great standard of food and drink is crucial to our success and we ensure that we use high quality ingredients, locally sourced where possible.”
After a three year period of closure, the pub was renovated and re-opened when it was bought by the Hamblin family in 2005. Owner Stephanie has just completed another £150,000 refurbishment which includes internal redecoration, new furniture and the building of a large glass enclosed terrace with underfloor heating to facilitate year round use.
“We are thrilled with the latest renovation, particularly with our new terrace area which looks absolutely stunning when candle lit at night and offers great views of the canal,” Stephanie adds. “We wanted to really make the most of our location and believe that the terrace will be a fantastic addition that our customers will love.”
Foxton Locks was named one of the ‘30 great spots on the canals’ by The Times newspaper in 2013, with Foxton Locks Inn cited as one of the best places to eat, recommended specifically for its casseroles and pies.
The awards were organised by Leicester Shire Promotions, the tourism organisation for Leicester and Leicestershire. The company works in partnership with Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership, VisitEngland and the local tourism industry to deliver campaigns and services to attract more visitors to the city and county.
The Foxton Locks Inn has this week unveiled its brand new extension – The Terrace.
Following a £150,000 renovation, The Foxton Locks Inn has opened its new 75 seat extension to the public. The Terrace, featuring under floor heating and panoramic views of Foxton Locks and the canals, is billed as the perfect venue for anything from a private party to a candlelit dinner for two.
To celebrate the unveiling, The Foxton Locks Inn has a newly updated menu, as well as new themed food evenings, with Pie Night on Mondays, Curry Night on Fridays and Wednesday and Sunday carveries.
Owner Stephanie Hamblin comments on the new look Foxton Locks Inn: “We’re so happy with the work done to update the Inn, and we’re sure that visitors to the Inn will be surprised at the transformation it’s undergone.”
“The Terrace is the real jewel in the crown, with picturesque views of the Locks that you can’t get anywhere else. We wanted to reflect this with the new menu, which features some Foxton classics as well as brand new dishes created by our chefs.”
The opening comes as The Foxton Locks Inn is announced as a finalist for Pub of the Year at the Leicester and Leicestershire Excellence in Tourism Awards. The awards celebrate the excellent service provided to ensure that visitors to the destination have the best possible experience during their stay. The winner will announced at a ceremony in Leicester later this month.
