A 1930s corner pub with an attractive exterior. Although it formerly sold a large range of beers, unfortunately real ale is no longer available. It is now a cafe bar popular with the gay community.

Historic Interest

Owned by the local brewery Leicester Brewing & Malting until 1953, then Ansells. Run by Hoskins from about 1985 to 1992.
