Opened in April 2013 and awarded National Pub of the Year 2015, this contemporary Alehouse is at the far eastern end of High Street, backing on to Sandford Park. U-shaped main bar area wraps around a new timber staircase with a Bar Billiards table at far end. Small front Snug room and large south facing beer garden. There is a first floor room private functions or meetings or just as an overflow from the downstairs bar. Up to nine guest ales (with Oakham Ales, Purity and Wye Valley regularly featured) plus a good selection of ciders and foreign beers on draft and in bottles. Good range of food available. Back issues of the Tippler magazine are now available in the Snug.
Changed ownership September 2019 but no obvious changes to pub, opening hours or beers.
Restoration
A pub in the 'cafe-bar' style but done extremely well and offering plenty of different spaces. A U-shaped main bar area wraps around a new timber staircase with a bar billiards table at the far end. There is a small front snug room and space upstairs as well as on the garden. There is a fine range of real ales and ciders and food available. The building is Grade II-listed.
This Pub serves 7 changing beers and 2 regular beers.
