Swan in the Rushes (Old man and Castle Rock).

 

Other notable shouts: Organ Grinder (quite traditional), White Hart (traditional pub, but stylish), Wheeltapper (micropub), Pin & Needle (micropub), Three Nuns (Traditional Everards and next to White Hart).

Mega thanks.

 

Any of them likely to have Bass on?

Afraid not. The windmill would have been perfect for that but it's gone now.

Wilfred Pinsent and the Swan 1-2 in Mountsorrel is just corking, I've said it before but those two can hold a candle to any pair.

 

Had a bottle of Gäffel Kolsch, then a Hall's Brewery (Coalville) Keller lager in WP, pint of Round Corner Market Pale in the Swan, capped of by a Blue Fox in the Sorrel Fox. Susan as some would say.

I took my Dad to Pinsent just before Christmas and he's obsessed with it now. Now I've got him out of Quorn he realises that there's better pubs elsewhere.

It's a shame the opening hours are what they are but I totally get why. The clip they rotate through the bottled selection is impressive

Out the way a bit but the Peacock will have Bass on 9 times out 10 mate, I haven't been though so can't vouch for it personally!

GB does, never went pre-refurb but it's so soulless, I hate the contemporary Indian restaurant grey look pubs are going for. 

 

Pubs should not have LED spotlights!

Horse and Trumpet in Sileby used to be decent when it was Steamin Billy. It's now a Punch Tavern so imagine it's gone downhill (haven't been post change).

 

Navigation in the sun is Susan.

GB is very studenty these days 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Yeah the Generous Briton still has a decent cask range from the nationals but it was so much better pre-refurb.

Saw the bowling green was closed earlier.

 

Did think the footfall had dropped in there in recent months.

Think the tenants had left or are leaving - lease is up on Stonegate's site so not closed for good

Good to hear the Peacock is still running. At one point my sister did the Sunday lunches in there.

My favourite drinking hole, the Gate Inn is long gone. All the memories are fading now. Even the Green man.

Not drinking until Feb 15th

Ashby has the best concentration of good pubs in the smallest vicinity of the Leicestershire towns

Had this in the R&D Arms a couple of weeks ago and yes it's very nice. Do they still produce Beacon? Haven't seen it in ages and always thought it was a very nice light bitter but the kind of beer that doesn't get drunk loads any more.

Haven't seen it anywhere for ages.
