This is an early 19th century pub in a small village
across the main road from East Langton. Very much a locals pub, even on a quiet
night. Don't let this put you off as the beer choice can be very good for these
parts. However, the food can also be quite expensive - unless you are a senior
citizen going for lunch where there is a discount price offered. This pub is
very much the home of Leicestershire's cricketing fraternity, there are bats and
other memorabilia all over the place. If you look carefully
there is even a plate with David Gower's name on it. Note also the miniature
cricket bats in a case as you enter the pub. The decor is very much country pub
style with exposed beams and whitewashed walls. Seating is at benches against
the windows and chairs at round and square dark
wood tables. There are also some stools at the 'L' shaped bar. The bar is
centrally heated, though there is a real fire to keep you warm otherwise. Food
is served throughout the pub, though there is a no smoking room to the left of
the entrance corridor. For the summer there is a large beer garden suitable for
children. The beers on sale were all well kept if a little expensive.
