| Look, I'm giving this pub 7/10. A high mark for a pub that only had 1 real ale (Harvest pale) on draft 12/9/19. So why? Well, everything felt right.. The Brookside is tucked away, off the beaten track in Barkby, and not somewhere you'll end up if your not trying to find it.. It's in a lovely location, very rural, and (not surprisingly) next to the brook. It's like going back 30 years.. two rooms, maybe in need of a lick of paint, but a lovely, friendly barmaid, great locals and dogs... Garden large, but again, needs tending.. if you sit outside, sit on the front, it's a lovely tranquil setting. I know the Malt shovel is popular, and rightly so, but do try this pub!

| The Brookside was to be our second pub of the day on Sunday. But it was closed due to "a family bereavement". Has a lovely setting in this pretty village though. 0/10 for now. But maybe I'll be back to try it again one day. blue_scrumpy - 30 Sep 2015 23:14 |
| GBG pub but was below par on recent visit. Despite the many pump clips on the walls only a Ruddles (GK version) was available. According to the locals the previous night had been unexpectedly busy. Always had good local paper write ups so hopefully a one off. Leicesterbeer - 20 Nov 2008 17:19 |
| Very friendly and welcoming traditional pub next to a small brook. Jukebox and pooltable free but with low 'easy listening' music. Excellent food and ales. Dog freindly(not in food areas) Beer Garden and large car park. jantar - 4 Dec 2005 07:53 |
