The Rutland and Derby, Leicester

I swung by here yesterday (9/11/09), and found it open, but not as pleasant as before. It was 12.30, so I asked for the menu, to which I was told that food was not served here, as there has been a new owner, and the kitchen needs new equipment. So a packet of crisps it was then.

As for the beer, there was no Everards, strange when you think that the place is so close to the brewery.

It was obvious the R&D is in a state of turmoil, it was cold in there, the comfy sofas had been moved from the rear of the pub, some of the wall fixtures are missing etc.... I can only hope that the "new" R&D" will the worth the wait!

I really hope the new owners don't mess this pub up.
