Quinno _ left this review about The Blue Ball
Fairly straightforward locals place which looks like it had a bit of investment over COVID which is slowly being battered away. Two rooms off a porch, main bar to the right with jumbo TV football, wood plank servery, blue and white colours. Two pumps at the servery with a turned Theakston clip leaving GK IPA which not been pulled through and was in a Doom Bar glass for added comedy (NBSS 1.5). Shepshed Dynamo FC scarves and I made like a Dynamo when I found an opportune time to drop my half of grot. In a small town with a remarkably solid stock of pubs, this one let the side down.
