Quinno _ left this review about The Woodmans Stroke
A bucolic location in a rickety old street with the church looming further up. The pub building has a thatched roof and inside is fairly rustic with a traditional feel over two rooms along with with a roaring fire. No music or TV, just the chatter of the patrons. Amazing bogs plus a lovely rear patio and extensive grassed garden. Ate here and had very nice sandwiches served-up on monogrammed crockery. Four ales on; Bass (NBSS 3), TT GB (3.5), Charnwood Vixen (4) and Fuller's London Pride. Very busy on a Thursday afternoon and it was easy to see why. An excellent village pub and rightly GBG listed.

A village local and eatery full of rustic charm, multi roomed with two at the front and one at the back, the main counter is in the left hand front room, there’s another in the back room.
Four pumps with local brewery Charnwood on one, Bass, Black Sheep Bitter and Sharps Sea Fury on the others, a T-Bar and some solos for the keg fraternity, only three pulls in the back room. There’s a thatched roof, lots of beams and quarry tile floors. Furnished with tables and chairs and decorated with old photos, drawings and documents. It has a large garden at the back. Very pleasant GBG 2025 listed, it’s about a 20 minute walk from the Great Central Railway station.
