You might not get the best out of me with The Horse and Trumpet. Martin Taylor, the guy in the photo above, had dragged me out of the wonderful Real Ale Classroom and it’s even […]
The Real Ale Classroom, Allandale Rd, Leicester 2.
It’s a bit of a mouthful, The Real Ale Classroom, so I will refer to it simply as the Classroom. I must add, that at this stage on my day out in […]

The Ale Wagon, Leicester
Funny name for a pub, The Ale Wagon? Maybe that’s what they call a Dray in Leicestershire? On a recent tour of ten Leicester pubs, it was by far the best of […]
