The White Hart, Loughborough

A food oriented pub but not overwhelmingly so, probably more down to earth than other Quorn pubs. It’s multi roomed and has a bit of charm, each room having different decor and feel. The decor includes a few of the daft animal heads on old masters painting tosh. The beer isn’t up to much in terms of quality or choice, Doombar, Pedigree, Ghost Ship and an own badged beer from Laine which was rank, god knows how it got a Cask Marque approval on that basis. Only by chance I visited as WhatPub said it opened at 4pm but it was open on my lunchtime visit.

Old pub, but much remodelled / extended / refurbished over the years so any real character has sadly now been lost. Now has three distinct seating / dining areas in an overall L shape, with a covered patio garden at the back. Four cask ales on handpump: Doom Bar, Pedigree, Ghost Ship and Laine's Stag (£8.15 with a cheese salad cob).
