The pub retains its two-room layout, albeit modernised, with a central servery. Public bar on the left with a panelled annexe; lounge with real fire on the right. There are small patios side and rear. Darts and poker nights; live jazz Thursday lunchtimes fortnightly; dogs welcome. There is a house beer 'Dog & Gun Bitter' brewed by Shipstone's. No hot food is served.

Historic Interest

This old backstreet local was owned by the Leicester Brewing & Malting Co until the takeover by Ansells in 1952. Operated by the Steamin' Billy pub company from 2011, but reverted to Punch Taverns from 2024.
