The Cheney Arms, Leicester

Upmarket Everards pub in an unusually large building. Three of theirs on, Tiger (NBSS 3), Sunchaser (3.5) and Old Original, drinking well on a Tuesday afternoon. Two rooms off a porch, main drinking area if you tack right and restaurant to left. Relatively ‘modern rustic’ feel décor-wise, the missus was taken with the pheasant feather wallpaper and the diagonal brick lower servery looks straight out of a mid-70s refurb. Hosts a Pub Character, who we thought we recognised from supporting roles Off The Telly, but neither of us could accurately place him. Enjoyable stop.

Rural pub with a number of rooms surrounding a central bar. There was an unused dining area to the left and a more compact public bar to the right. Outdoor seating was proving to be popular early on a June Saturday evening, with locals enjoying watching the art of parking cars into tight spaces. This is an attractive-looking Everard's pub serving Old Original & Tiger as regulars, alongside Sunchaser & Small Batch Irish Red. Further guest beers were Brampton Best & Titanic Steerage. My Small Batch Irish Red was enjoyable.
