Glad to see the idiotic rioters didn't do too much damage to this beautiful old pub. In fact, the bar staff said that the press had overstated the effect of the rioting. Our visit today found the pub as busy as usual, with the Thai restaurant section also fairly busy. Oakham beers were at the forefront - JHB, Bishops Farewell, Citra & Inferno, along with one guest - Fat Cat Honey Ale. There were also two Westons ciders - Old Rosie & Traditional Scrumpy. Still a must visit if ever you visit this area or Villa Park on a matchday.

Whilst it is a fair comment that all the current range of beer is blond and some are citrus in nature don't be put off. We visited on 28th Dec and the beer was outstanding and in excellent condition. Whilst it may be lacking some variety as a real ale enthusiasts we recognised that we were onto a good thing. Yes more variety would be good but the four Oakham beers on offer were excellent and worth a visit alone, try and move on if you want to. We had intended to do just that but we're so impressed we stayed. Pub is a superb specimen, the food is supposed to be good but cannot comment from experience.

Fantastic building - can a large pub be built better than this? Beers well kept. Westons Old Rosie and Westons Scrumpy cider on draught too. So why only 8/10? Well the draught beer range from Oakham wasn't really a range. There were 4 beers all roughly the same straw colour, all floral citrus-like aromas, designed for new-comers to cask ales who used to drink pop or lager. No amber, red or tawny bitters, no winter ales, no stouts or porters or milds. That's why.

Great looking pub with delicious and reasonably priced Thai food.Sadly and surprisingly the beer was a bit of let down with 4 very samey Oakham ales which were a little warm and not at their best.Worth a visit but a little more variety in the beer would be welcome.

According to Oakham Ales they tried to start a fire but found it difficult as there were no soft furnishings or curtains. Apparently they need to replace a section of bar, but it could have been a lot worse.
