| Enjoyed good pints of Hobbs Bitter and Brigadier. The atmosphere debate below is probably one of personal taste as much as anything. The pub has high ceilings and is not a "cozy boozer" but a decent town pub and extremely god beers looked after by an enthusiastic landlord. Tigerdrinker - 5 May 2008 17:36 |
| What are all these reviewers looking for with their comments about ‘atmosphere’? I found the welcome friendly & down to earth from the locals and the knowlegeable, beer enthusiastic guv. The pub has a simple interior with L-shaped bar serving two rooms, nothing wrong with that, or the local feel of the place. Hoskins beers, EXS (5%), Brigadier, Hob Bitter, Mild, Navigation Ale (7%), Tollgate TGB, Ale Wagon Traditional Cyder (8%). I nearly missed this place due to its artificially low rating on these pages, but I’m glad we caught a few well-conditioned beers here before heading off to the train. trainman - 5 May 2008 13:17 |
| It's a pub on my circuit in Leicester. I'm a ticker so only an occasional tick here for me. They do regular fests but for a reason only known to themselves they fail to advertise them. Guys people will come if you let them know! The beer is well kept. If you like to drink in oppressive victorian dad style silence this will be your bag. The Hoskins lads keep threatening to brew. I think i'll open a brewery before they get around to it. Worth a visit on a beer fest. Look on scoopgen if you want that info Thatch007 - 25 Apr 2008 14:55 |
| Does lack Atmosphere,but found the beer of good quality and staff very helpful.Do not think they will be brewing their own beer there as the site is not big enough.The interior does still require more tlc but it still welcoming. lotus - 30 Mar 2008 11:23 |
| I would agree with most of the other comments that this pub serves excellent ales but lacks atmosphere. It is nice in some ways that it seems to have changed very little since the middle of teh last century but wothout the atmosphere it is not somewhere that I would want to use all the time.
