A second attempt to visit this historic pub was thwarted yet again. The pub was closed to the general public on my Saturday afternoon visit, instead hosting what looked to be a wake. Peering through the windows, we could see lots of people dressed up mostly drinking wine, with a picture of somebody on a table. On checking their Facebook page, sure enough they had advised everybody that the pub would be closed on this day. Hopefully I will get to visit it one day and it will be third time lucky.
Original visit (August 2020):
Still closed following lockdown and believed to be in search of new owners.

Open on our visit - Aug 2021.
Ancient building - with a blue plaque marking it as given to Thomas Cromwell. On his execution, it was given to Anne of Cleves in the divorce settlement from Henry VIII.
Kind of plays on the history inside - with swords on the wall and portrait art work.
Lovely beer garden.
They are still doing table service here. Beers on were Everards (I believe its a tied house) and Castle Rock. The Elsie Mo was that good, I had a couple.
As a tourist in the area with little experience of the other pubs in town - I would say this is the most appealing traditional pub in town.

A beautiful old building, reputedly 1384, which attracts the eye in combination with the nearby church when walking into town from the station. Once inside, the preservation and restoration as a pub has been done with taste and discernment, which makes the loud and raucous modern rock music all the more jarring.
On the bar is a row of hand pumps with four Everards beers and Elgoods Black Dog mild, which was in excellent condition. On a quiet Wednesday afternoon - several people in Melton pubs commented that it's the quietest day of the week, except maybe for Thursday - there were getting on for a dozen people in here at lunchtime. The garden looks good, and there was lots to like about the interior of the pub, but I found my thoughts constantly interrupted by the music. Lose it, please.
