This was originally a tiny traditional city centre local owned by M&B, which was extended to its current size in 1993. It was acquired by Black Country Ales in 2012 and was fully refurbished in 2017. 12 handpulls serve 7 regularly changing guest ales. Its open fire and roof terrace make it popular throughout the year with real ale and cider enthusiasts and visitors to the local football and rugby grounds. A range of bottles is offered. No meals, but filled cobs and samosas are usually available. There is a rear access to the pub from New Walk. Sky and BT Sports shown. Leicester CAMRA pub of the year 2015/16. Covered outside seating is available.
