Close to the High Street, this welcoming one-bar pub with an inviting atmosphere has appeared in this Guide for over 20 years. Six ales served with one always from Oakham. Good quality, home-made food is available lunchtimes and evenings, with curry night on Wednesdays (including Thai and Goan). The bar and food service is efficient and friendly. The walls are adorned with prints and decorative plates, and a collection of jugs and tankards hangs from the ceiling.
