Large, popular locals pub, still often referred to as the Wyggeston Hotel although accommodation has not been available since the 1950s.

Internally, there is an L-shaped public bar with a long bar counter, with a small snug / darts room off one end, and a large, split level, comfortable lounge with a stage area. There is also a recently refurbished function room, with its own bar counter, at the rear. The beer garden includes an enclosed children's play area.

Meals include carvery on Sunday. Live entertainment in the lounge some Friday and most Saturday evenings.

Historic Interest

Opened in 1904 by Salt's Brewery and named after William Wyggeston, a Leicester wool merchant who owned land in the area. It became a Bass pub when the latter took over Salt’s in 1927, and remained so until 2002 when the leasehold was purchased by the Unique Pub Company, which was acquired by Enterprise Inns shortly afterwards. The land is still owned by the charity 'The Chaplains and Poor of the Hospital of William Wyggeston', which supports Wyggeston's Hospital, Leicester. (The current lease runs for 99 years from 1956.)

Asset of Community Value

Built by Salt's Brewery in 1904 with a bowling green - now a car park. In the inter-war period a flat roof extension was added on the right which houses the public bar. While the left part is now a modernised lounge converted in 1984 from a number of small rooms, the present public bar is little-altered since it was created. It has an inter-war vestibule entrance, panelled bar counter of an inter-war style (replacement top), original bar back including cupboards and two drawers, also a large semi-circular mirror with small bar back fittings either side - left side has shelves, the right one more mirrored panels. The fixed seating look to date from the 1960s, which is when the room was expanded to the rear.

To the left of the public bar is the small 'Men Only' bar which retains some old bar fittings but having been used for storage in recent years is about to be converted into an office. What looks like an old off sales hatch still exists at the rear. The large lounge on two levels was originally a passageway with a number of rooms off it but combined in 1984 and original front door blocked up. Only two original fireplaces remain here.
