Old Boots left this review about The Generous Briton
A two bar corner pub, solid brick local from the outside but modern on the inside. Entering the vestibule off Ashby Road there’s a public bar/games room to the left and a slightly more lounge like bar to the right with a second door on Regent Street. Pool, darts, screen and no pulls in the public but only a T-Bar. A couple of screens in the lounge but it has four pulls and a double length T-Bar, a decent choice on three of the pulls, Batemans XXXB, Charnwood Salvation and Bass, the fourth was blank. A bar blockers paradise with stools ranged along the full length of the counter, banquette and tables with chairs down the two outer walls. There’s a bit of a 1930s art deco vibe to the decor, geometric shapes and in some of the furniture.

Large two room corner pub which has been recently modernised and the bar front aside there's no heritage left. The right room is a steely blue colour, the left having light neutral tones with what looks like vandalised wood panelling. Sports TVs with an audience of nil. A surprising six pumps spread across the two rooms with a fair selection of four on, I plumped for Bass which was a bit watery and lacking distinction (NBSS 2) served by a very polite and friendly barman who made a point of checking the beer was clear. Place feels like it’s been shot from a cannon and has missed the landing point. The students probably dig it I suppose but I think it's not really sure what it wants to be.

Two rooms with various real ales on offer, sadly, nothing above 4.5% ABV. There was a cider @ 7.5% which more than made up for it.
