Hugh & staff have moved on to The Longstop on Church Gate. Temporary custodianship at the moment. Had three guest ales on when I checked in: one from Bath, a Brunswick and a Moorhouse. Staff friendly as ever. Relaxed and friendly vibe from the clientele.

Lovely old building with a central bar and lots of drinking areas. Full range of Everards beers plus a guest (from Bath Ales this time). Good quality and very friendly service. Worth a visit when in the centre of town.

Rightly packed out every Friday and Saturday evening. Quieter during the week but still lively.

Lovely old building, formerly a coaching in and (I believe) the oldest pub in Leicester.

I attended the recent Scottish beer festival here (marked as the 'first annual' I noticed) and was thoroughly impressed.

Licensee Hugh had done a great job sourcing some excellent ales (including some real rarities this far south of the border) and had them all set up on a stillage of his own creation.

Condition was excellent for the most part, with the only exception being a handful of beers which had been supplied unfined and which sadly had not dropped - I'm not sure I would concur with the best kept in Leicester comment, but certainly better than a couple of the more noted ale houses in the city centre.

The only real niggle on this visit was the pricing - alas, Everards had felt the need to slap their own mark-up on the beers supplied by a third party beer agency, which had already been sourced by the licensee - a practice which I do not condone.

Sadly this is not a place I tend to frequent due solely to the Everards pricing policy - the "No Price Increase On Beer Here" declaration in the Leicester Drinker is all well and good, but doesn't really aid the cause when the prices are already markedly higher than the other key ale hostelries in the city centre.

Excellent pub in a lovely old building. Landlord is a friendly chap. Real ales are the best kept in Leicester.
