Essential post-match stop (it's en-route from the Walkers to the city centre).
Basic 2-room boozer with half a dozen or so ales, including Oakham & Batemans, & 2 draught Belgians from Lefebvre. Plus, an extensive bottled list, mainly Belgian but also including Belarussian Wheat Beer, if that's what you're looking for.

Nice dark wood bar, solid light wood tables, two-roomed pub with great ale selection and, apparently, ~140 bottled beers in the many fridges which wind around behind the bar. The ‘menu' may not always be bang up to date but, from reading a tda review, the prices seemed fair, eg Rochefort8 £3.20. On handpump Oakham No Bully Dozer, JHB, Bishops Farewell, New-K-Ham Brewery Puffin, Bateman's Salem Porter, Burton Bridge Festival, Sam Smiths OBB, Bees Amber Ale. Bar billiards table, soundtrack included Adagio for Strings followed by some cracking blues. Friendly, and beer friendly, barman who was happy to chat, great value Sun lunch suggested roasts (beef/pork/duck) at £6.95.
