Quinno _ left this review about The Distillery
Long narrow modern place, modishly decorated but seen worse – it’s like the Queen of Bradgate would end-up like if Linda Barker was let loose with £20k and a bag of Bolivian. Half-arsed attempt at being a craft bar with seven keg from corporates with Tiny Rebel as the genuine interloper. My half of Brooklyn Pilsner tasted of a 2024 vintage in terms of age - crap. Bring back the Slug! (you had to be there back in the day). 4.5
September 2013 (as Slug & Lettuce)
Listed in the GBG so thought I’d give it a go. It’s a long and narrow building with an entrance at either end, leading onto two different streets. Five ale taps with three on; Yates Bitter, Kelham Island and Orkney (cold but good and fairly cheap too) with Bombardier being pulled through. A slight industrial feel to the interior with the décor shot to pieces in places - scruffy. Loud echoes throughout the high-ceilinged interior from sports TV. Some tables pre-set for dining but can’t imagine what sort of person they’re attempting to attract. A decent stop for the beer and football but hardly essential. Still, better than the usual Slug on the ale front... Rated 6

The Distillery is a long and thin pub with a bar counter midway up the right hand wall, depending on which way you enter. There’s seating at either end and opposite the bar are some booths. The three hand pumps on the bar were badged with Black Sheep, TT Landlord and Wychwood’s Dirty Tackle. Unfortunately they were all off due to ‘technical difficulties’ so standard and premium keg was the choice, alongside an offering from Beavertown and eight craft keg from the back bar. Food is available from the same menu as the Loaded Dog that I visited earlier in the day. The burgers in here are £2.50 more expensive at £12.50. I asked for a half and got a pint, unfortunately not for the price of a half. An after work / weekend evening pub.

Now called The Distillery as per the photo attached. A long room with the bar on the right. Three or four hand pumps and eight craft ales on the wall. No a bad place.
