Revisit Aug 2023
Still a quite excellent pub, with even more assorted junk hanging round the walls and ceilings. The large gardens have been expanded for the family, with assorted play equipment, trampolines and a bouncy castle on this visit. Beers from the wider Marstons range, including a good condition Banks's Mild, with a guest, in this case from Dancing Duck.

Excellent pub tucked away on a side road and easy to miss which would be a dreadful shame. Central bar between two rooms totally covered in jugs and other memorabilia makes this a cosy local, with an exceptional range of beers and good-value home-cooked food. Actually on the Leicestershire side of the river and only a few minutes from Junction 24 of M1.

I have been in here a number of times in the last 10 years, mainly because they use their large rear car park for classic car events. I was in last Saturday, dropping a friend off to visit his sister. Having been bullied into stopping for a pint, I opted for the guest at 3.8% as most of the others were too thick to drive on. especially the Marston's Old Empire at 6.5%. Other beers were Pedigree and Wainwright. The pub does decent food and has an extensive lunch menu. Well worth tracking down, but a difficult place to get to any other way than buy car or boat (right next to the trent).
