No website available

Situated adjoining Leicestershire County Cricket ground. The interior consists of a public bar with pool tables at the front. an extended lounge bar with family/dining annex; and an upstairs function room with balcony overlooking the cricket ground. At the side and rear, the paved patio and lawn are furnished with picnic tables, and there is play equipment for the kids. A footpath at the side of the pub car park gives pedestrian access to the cricket ground. No meals, but cobs may be available. Following its sale by Everards to the Punch PubCo, there are three handpumps, and the beer range may change.

Historic Interest

Contrary to popular belief, Grace Road was named after a local property owner and not the legendary cricketer W G Grace.

The former Cricket Ground Hotel was redeveloped by Everards in 1974. The new pub was set back from the road, and was built behind the site of the original hotel.

In 2025, Everards sold the pub to Punch Taverns.
