Lovely place, just down a dip in the hill. CAMRA *** Heritage Listed which perhaps seems a little generous compared to somewhere like Bell at Aldworth, but anyway. It’s two rooms off a porch but the right hand snug was locked on both my visits in early 2025 despite it being busy in the public. Public bar has quarry tiled floor, blue and white colour scheme and a piano as well as some pre-war fittings and a bit of breweriana including a jumbo Bass mirror. Quite tight inside and it didn’t take much to see people spilling outside to the grassed garden with their beers and as the sun comes out it often ends-up being the de facto main bar. Fans of the outside bogs will like it here and also look out for the saucy 1940s/50s enamelled print ladies in the gents. Crusty cobs are very generously filled, only attempt to eat one if you are properly hungry. A GBG regular with usually three on, Pedigree and Bass are the staples, my Bass has weighed in at NBSS 3 and 3.5. Well-worth getting the bus out for.

A detached plain brick Victorian pub (date stone of 1882) with red window lintels, black sills and keystones and sash windows - three upper and two flanking a central door on the lower. It looks Georgian in style. There is a rear patio/berr garden and outdoor bogs. In the GBG.
The interior has a couple of rooms, with the bar to the left on entry and the snug to the right. The bar is a straight room, in white, with dark red bench seats, a red tile floor and white ceiling. The walls are festooned with cartoons, plates, mirrors and there are hanging jugs, a piano and a dart board too. A small tiled fireplace sits at one end and the serving bar, also in red and white, serves both rooms. There are a couple of small TVs, which were not on at my visit and the music was soft and general when it did come on. The snug seemed in the same decor with plates. The service was very friendly and there place had a number of locals in, generally a little more mature.
Beer; usual tap stuff with Marston's Pedigree and a very good Bass on handpull.
A great, traditional boozer. Friendly service and punters. The beer selection isn't that interesting at first glance to a Midlander, but the beer is really well kept. Try it, if around.

my husband and I fell in love with "Polly's" when we lived in Whitwick, Steve & Ann are a fantastic couple and make your welcome into their establishment a very warm and inviting one.
Living back 'up north' now as we do, we have a tendency to miss the old place and the friends we made whilst in there.
A fabulous place to visit if you fancy sitting in a real old worldy, traditional, friendly boozer xx
