The Sparrowhawk is situated on the corner of a very busy road junction.
The pub now sports the horrible battleship grey colour.
Once inside the bar faces,there is a single room which is wrapped around the bar on three sides,the seating is normal tables and chairs and settees to the front and bench seating to the rear.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Cronx Kotchin which went down well,the other beers were Harveys Bitter and Purity UBU.
The background music was too quiet to be heard properly,the pub was very busy on my Saturday afternoon visit.
I did not encounter any problems in being served here,so they would probably serve anyone who turns up here for a drink.

There were three ales on in here - Harvey's Best, Purity Mad Goose, and Clarkshaw's Gorgon's Alive! (£2.10 a half). I felt obliged to try the Gorgon's Alive!, because it's such an unusual name for a beer, and Clarkshaw's is a local brewery based at Loughborough Junction. And pretty good it was too. I also saw a black cauldron on the counter, for some mulled drink, or possibly soup, I guess. There weren't any menus on the tables, but I saw people eating so they obviously do food weekday lunchtimes.
This old pub has now been thoroughly made over. The bar counter's painted dark grey, with plenty of light grey painted woodwork at the front, plus wine racks are included in the modern bar back. So far so gastro. Furnishings are mainly big chunky tables and normal chairs, but with considerable "distressing" in evidence. There are also the inevitable chunky tall tables/tall stools. A few smallish prints adorn the walls of miscellaneous things - one might have been of a microscope - plus a larger one of a bird of prey, a sparrowhawk presumably.
Any pub character this place may have had has been completely stripped out. This is an ordinary gastropub. But the beer was good though.
