Grand Union, Leicester

Enjoyed my first visit to the Black Country Ales pub on Wednesday. Good choice of guest beers to compliment their own beers, and all entered up on a board the same as their other outlets with all the info you need to make your choice. Comfortable room and friendly staff. We chose Lincoln Green TorchLight and Broughs Springfield, both in good condition. Seating outside includes iron stairs to a roof garden which could be a suntrap.

I've been looking forward to visiting this Black Country Pub, since I heard about it opening in Leicester. I was definitely not disappointed as the pub was traditional in decor and had a good choice of ales on handpump. Fabulous cobs behind the bar. They had the usual range of Black Country ales, but on this visit, I went for the Coastal Merry Maidens Mild and Morton Brewery Essington Gold. Look forward to spending more time here on my next visit.
