The Pestle & Mortar, Hinckley

As noted below this is a larger micropub than many consisting of a long narrow room that has a step up to reach the rear area. It was doing a good trade on my Saturday early afternoon visit including a table of older folk who all seemed to be drinking white wine. It's no surprise that this is the area cider pub of the year as they had 15. It looked like they can do up to 7 beers but 4 were available on my visit. The only two I could make out clearly were Bass and Titanic Plum Porter (£3.00) which I obviously went for and was in good nick. This is another good micropub.

Good selection of traditional ciders 12 I think, 5 real ales too Don't forget to try the mead it's tasty Nice pub friendly staff worth a visit John
