No surprise, they’ve lost a lot of their good staff and not been replaced. It’s not my favourite place ever but will be a shame to lose another stop.

Add to this. It’s an important venue for live stuff too! Hopefully someone can take it on and use the space.

Yeah man, I was quite impressed with it when it opened even if the furniture was rock hard. Recent visits not so much, lack of real ale in a gaff called that isn't great really

Never been too fond of it personally but certainly a shame to see another go in Leicester.

Was having a beer yesterday in the sunshine outside the forge in Glenfield.

Along come two ladies, well into their seventies on cycles donning all the safety gear, helmets, hi viz jackets etc.

After securing their cycles the two 'girls' went to the bar & came out with a couple of small ciders & whilst chatting a lady member of staff came out & asked them to remove their hi viz jackets as the pub does not allow 'workwear'!!

Dont you just love a jobsworth!

That is absolutely ridiculous. Pubs should be doing everything to encourage punters ffs
