Under the Jackson family ownership, this traditional village pub had a rabbit-warrenesque interior with no less than six diverse individual adjoining bars, snugs and a dining area. Following the purchase by Hoskins Brewery in 1988, and later when acquired by Banks's of Wolverhampton, the pub was much extended and modernised. The interior is now dominated by a modern rear extension overlooking the large enclosed lawned garden with paved areas and open-sided octagonal summer-houses, picnic tables and garden furniture. Two attractive small rooms at the front of the pub give a hint towards the former character. A full food menu is available all day, and the pub is reliable for Pedigree and other ales produced by Marston's breweries.

Historic Interest

Thought to be over 400 years old, the Bradgate Arms was for many years privately owned by the Jackson family. The last Mr Jackson proprietor is said to remember elderly ladies coming in on an evening to fill their white jugs with pints of either beer or milk at tuppence ha'penny, from the herd of cows kept in a field behind the pub, and having a quick half and a good gossip at the same time. In 1988, the Jackson family’s tenure as landlords came to an end following 100 consecutive years, and the pub was sold to Hoskins Brewery, during Hoskins' first period of expansion. Later the pub was sold to Banks's Brewery of Wolverhampton.
