The Vine has the feel of a shop conversion with a bar counter along the rear wall that faces a mix of seating. Oakham’s JHB, Moon Gazer Skidaddler Milk Stout, Fat Cat’s Tom Cat and Gk Abbot Ale were available on cask alongside a premium keg range. A large list of beers and ciders on chalk boards above the back bar suggested the presence of a large fridge somewhere. I was a bit perturbed when the barman pulled my half of JHB before preceding to pull the barrel through into a bucket, this was a first for me, however there was nothing wrong with my drink. This place is also a Thai restaurant, but I’m not sure how they make much money with only four or five tables in a small room upstairs. Also, there are only two toilets, one male and one female. I found the service to be polite, but I don’t plan on returning.

A small mid terrace pub ,it describes itself as a thai restaurant but on the ground floor is most definately a pub run by a friendly thai lady who knows her beers.There are a few tables outside but I've been in larger micropubs so space is limited with a bench seating along a side wall with small tables .Upstairs is even smaller with just room for around 4 dining tables and a single trap gents.
It's in the 2023 GBG with on my visit GK Abbot,Fat Cat Tom Cat,Boudica Spiral Stout and Oakham JHB (NBSS 4).There are some real ciders too.
Worth including on any city centre crawl,I didn't try the food but suspect it would be very good if her ale conditioning is anything to go by.

A small Thai restaurant/pub that seems to be a local CAMRA fave and given the signage spotted on the way “CAMRA night every Monday, 10% discount on food and drinks!” it isn’t hard to see why. The inside is little more than a small room with simple décor – stools, wood perch seating and aquamarine walls. The smell of Thai cooking pervaded, which is fair enough. Four pumps with three cask on; Oakham JHB, Genetic Code Mr Winters, and Fat Cat Tom Cat (NBSS 2.5). The excellent fridge range of Euro bottles caught my eye. Hardly a destination outlet, but brandish your CAMRA card on a Monday and eat and drink yourself merry I suppose. I probably will next time I’m in town and probably give it a higher mark as a consequence.
Visited early August.
