The King Billy

General information

We're a friendly and completely independent ale pub just outside the town centre. No ties, no chain, just a family-run pub where we'll probably remember your drink on your second visit. We're that needy.

Expect!

- A fine selection of nine real ales. Oakham's Citra and Bishops Farewell are always on, along with a bunch of Nottingham's finest - Black Iris, Totally Brewed, Scribbler, Abstract Jungle, and Lincoln Green. Other favourite breweries you can expect to see are Shiny, Newby Wyke, Rat, and many others.

- Real cider - we've added to our lonely Old Rosie pump with a range of boxed ciders. Biddenden's, Gwynt Y Ddraig, Local Legends Blue Barrel, Abrahalls, and others.

- Four craft pumps, because that's what you do these days, isn't it?

- So many bar snacks. Fully trained crisp sommeliers on hand to make appropriate Kettle Chip pairings

- We're dog friendly, so long as your dog plays nice

- Pool table, darts and Sports TV.

- Function room

- Hidden roof garden that'll have you thinking you're in some kind of Babylonian god-knows-what

- Live folk music every Thursday night
