Early afternoon a couple of other groups in so many of us occupied the vacant outside seating area on a glorious summer's day. Friendly and efficient service the large bar area helping the staff to cope with the many beers ordered!

Mid evening visit to see my last Friday Evening Group compadres just leaving! Hardly really a micropub being large with a very formal long bar counter and 3 staff serving. Long chat with a local over the town's railway history.

13:15 We stayed here for two hours. Really enjoyed the place. One of the two owners was behind the bar and made us all very welcome. I recommend a visit.

The pub is found in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, LE16 7DX.
Opened in 2014 and located in a former furniture shop in St Mary's Road behind the chip shop, this is Market Harborough's first micropub. One large room with a smaller room to the rear that houses an art gallery along with more seating. Originally up to twelve casks on stillage all with cooling pipes and two further beers on KeyKeg. Latterly 20 wall taps behind the bar counter dispense 7 cask ales, some real ciders and the remainder being keg beers and ciders. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
We have visited this pub 4 times, seen 25 different beers and tried 11 of them.
