Quinno _ left this review about Generous Briton

Solid looking place. Inside is a bit of a barn set for discos, live music and blokes going “MWEEARRRGGHH”, playing pool and watching Top Gear. Decor at least decent. No cask, so a Guinness it was, served-up by a friendly barman.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Generous Briton

The 'Genny B' proclaims itself to be "Melton's No 1 live music venue", and there is certainly little inside the bar apart from a pool table and a nominal amount of furniture. Very quiet when I stopped by early on a Saturday afternoon, but I was impressed by the barman taking the opportunity to give the woodwork around the counter a good clean. Just Jennings Cumberland (£3.00) from the pair of handpumps, but that was a bonus since it was one more real ale than I was expecting.
