Every now and then you find *that* b**r.

Introducing our newest, permanent bar fixture. We’re very proud to be the first in the East Midlands to have this gem as a permanent line: Bavik, Super Pils.

Having won World’s Best L***r in the 2026 World B**r Awards, we at first too were skeptical. Just how good can it really be?
Well, after having it on for the last month, it seems you agree with us: pretty f-ing good!
The Belgians have done it again.
A real masterpiece of a liquid. And no, we won’t top it up: it’s too good a b**r to bastardise with an English head. Sold as seen!

The best b**r in the world. Available now and forever from The Castle.

Bavik Super Pils, 5.2%, £6.40/pint

You came, you drank, you voted…

Augustiner Largerbier put up a good fight, averaging a 75% rating for the Germans.
We won’t mention the Spaniards….
The masses of Leicester though… DID agree with the 2026 World B**r Awards’ rankings: scoring Bavik Super Pils an average rating of 85%!!!

The 2026 Best L***r in the World, turns out, is pretty darn good after all.

Head down now to try the reigning champ!

Massive thanks to GEARSTICK | Promotions & Events GearStick Events for supplying the tasters! Watch this space for more pics from the night, and for more b**r events to follow!

Great local brewery!
We host their Nitro Stout as a permanent feature - Reverend Ho**er.

Better than Guinness??
Definitely a debate to have over a couple of pints… but we think it might well be…

Our featured Spotlight Brewery this month is Castle Rock and we’ll be hosting a rotation of their many ales, and showcasing some of their kegs on our Select Kegs craft wall.

Come and enjoy a pint with a locally baked cob, freshly made daily, an in-house-homemade sausage roll, or one of our MASSIVE scotch eggs - with a big shout out to our butcher and local meat supplier Glenn Lewin Butchers

Many more short eats, hot sandwiches, and bowl foods available from our coffee and lunch shop, the Hand & Bowl Deli, just next door!

Coffee roasters, meat butchers, bread bakers, veg growers, w**e suppliers, b**r brewers: as much as we can, all sourced from other small local businesses. From the price of your pint, a little bit goes to all of these other local and family, British businesses.

Tucked away in medieval Leicester - it’s definitely the best time of year for a courtyard, candlelit pint

Exciting times….! We’re opening another pub!

The rumours are true…! Yesterday, we completed on a 10 Year Lease on The White Horse Inn at Seagrave - completely free of tie so allows us to fully express our Benjamin Pimlico magic in this great new venue that we’re proud to bring back to life after it being shut since September last year.

You can expect pretty much the same as what you get at the White Hart & The Castle, but in a more serene & peaceful rural setting.

Doors open mid August…. Follow us for updates.

Town Pub, Micro Pub, Country Pub, Night Cl…😵😉
