Nineteenth-century former coaching inn, handy for dog walkers, students and sports supporters. Long-standing tenants retired in 2025, and management of the pub was taken over by the local 'Beautiful Pubs' chain. A brand-new kitchen is being installed in January 2025. The pub is well-known for its choice of ciders, and is a regular winner of Leicester CAMRA's Cider Pub of the Year. Tasty and good value food is served, including Sunday carveries. Behind the pub is the largest pub garden in Leicester complete with children's play equipment. Regular quiz nights, karaoke and special events take place.
