A detached plain brick Victorian pub (date stone of 1882) with red window lintels, black sills and keystones and sash windows - three upper and two flanking a central door on the lower. It looks Georgian in style. There is a rear patio/berr garden and outdoor bogs. In the GBG.
The interior has a couple of rooms, with the bar to the left on entry and the snug to the right. The bar is a straight room, in white, with dark red bench seats, a red tile floor and white ceiling. The walls are festooned with cartoons, plates, mirrors and there are hanging jugs, a piano and a dart board too. A small tiled fireplace sits at one end and the serving bar, also in red and white, serves both rooms. There are a couple of small TVs, which were not on at my visit and the music was soft and general when it did come on. The snug seemed in the same decor with plates. The service was very friendly and there place had a number of locals in, generally a little more mature.
Beer; usual tap stuff with Marston's Pedigree and a very good Bass on handpull.
A great, traditional boozer. Friendly service and punters. The beer selection isn't that interesting at first glance to a Midlander, but the beer is really well kept. Try it, if around.

my husband and I fell in love with "Polly's" when we lived in Whitwick, Steve & Ann are a fantastic couple and make your welcome into their establishment a very warm and inviting one.
Living back 'up north' now as we do, we have a tendency to miss the old place and the friends we made whilst in there.
A fabulous place to visit if you fancy sitting in a real old worldy, traditional, friendly boozer xx

I first went in this pub in 1984 and it was a Bass house,it still has the bass signs next to the front door.
This pub looks really nice and unaltered from the outside.

An unspoilt survivor from the late 19th century in a former mining village, this pub doesn't have fancy fittings, etched glass or ornate tiles. It is a small basic boozer but beautifully elegant with spotless simple red and white decoration. It also has the best Marston's Pedigree I have tasted in many years. There are two rooms, a public bar and a saloon or snug, the saloon is served via a hatch. It has been run by the same family for about 100 years and is on CAMRA's national inventory of unspoilt pubs. No food, open fires, outside toilets, not even a till, the only concessions to modernity are a couple of TVs and a few keg taps. Nothing to excite fans of youth oriented bars but a splendid place to drink finely kept ales. A busy lunchtime with a few sweary auld lads in during my visit. Sometimes called Polly's.
