Where Heritage Meets Proper British Fare

Built in 1874 to quench the thirst of the town's hard-working stonemasons and bricklayers, this historic pub remains the beating heart of the Loughborough community.

Whether you're finishing up a fresh walk across the rugged rocks of nearby Bradgate Park or visiting us after a trip to the historic Great Central Railway, you'll find cozy snugs, local chatter, and hospitality that feels like home.

We work hand-in-hand with local Leicestershire brewers and farms to supply our cellar and kitchen daily, ensuring every pie is packed with local beef and every pint is poured to perfection.
