The Noel's Arms, Melton Mowbray

Fine alehouse and music venue, with a partially opened-out interior featuring two seating areas; the one at the front with a small stage for live music, and the bar in the back part. Appropriately rustic furniture and decor, and a very welcome real fire on a windy winter's day. Decent selection from the six handpumps, ranging from Doom Bar and John Smith's Cask to Star Quantum Leap, Springhead Drop o' the Dark Stuff and Oldershaw Grantham Porter (£2.80, with a Camra discount).

The Noel's Arms is a small corner pub that is almost opposite the Anne of Cleves pub. When i first went in this pub it was an Ind Coope tied house with real ales on the bar. The pub has recently reopened,it still has a single room with the bar on the right side,there were real ales advertised outside but we did'nt go in here as we had done in before.
