A Guide entry for many years, this local enjoys a considerable reputation as a real ale destination. Normally features five local beers and others from independent brewers elsewhere, often Oakham and Thornbridge. This small early Victorian pub is laid out on three levels. It has a lively jukebox, is decorated throughout with militaria and boasts a striking set of old well-preserved and attractively painted and stained glass windows depicting 19th century cavalry charges and battle scenes. Worth seeking out.
