Website

Everards sold the pub to Mitchells & Butlers in 2011 and it is now one of their 'Sizzling Pubs' chain. The large modern interior is L-shaped, with the main entrance at the corner. Value meals are available, but drinkers are also welcome. A patio area outside the main entrance is furnished with picnic tables, and there is another patio at the rear.

Historic Interest

Designed by Leicester architects Pick, Everard, Keay & Gimson for Everard's Brewery and built 1938-1939. It had a relatively unaltered interior with a revolving door at the corner until about 1995, when the interior was completely remodelled and knocked-together. Note the original decorative roundels around the elevations, depicting various 'blackbird' scenes.
