Website

A typical Wetherspoon establishment named after a former Mayor of Leicester and located on the main shopping street in Wigston. The pub underwent extensive refurbishment throughout in 2015. A large open-plan lounge with large windows which open out facing the street.

Note that the pub's licence prohibits new customers entering the premises after 11pm on any day.

Historic Interest

Named after William Wygston (1456-1536), who was an extremely wealthy wool merchant, philanthropist, MP, and twice mayor of Leicester. This pub opened in 1997 in a former Kwiksave store which was itself part of a re-development, many years ago, which replaced terraced housing with retail outlets. The 1911 census records that the house previously having this pubs address was occupied an elderly widow and her spinster sister.
