If you want to go to a "real" pub, like they used to be, cosy, friendly and you can talk without having to shout at the person a foot away but can still hear the music.
Bar staff great, great choose of real ale well kept and served ...Great pub..

This pub is a little Gem in Melton Mowbray. It offers a very friendly welcome and normally four real ales in excellent condition. I understand these change regularly. There were three when I visited Tribute; Bombardier and Deuchars. Amazingly for an English pub there was a choice of forty (40) malt whiskys. Well worth a visit for the friendly staff and locals...and handy for the station, just across the road.

Pleasant enough and more of a real pub than the others. Closest pub to the station. I had a pint of Kronenbourg here rather than ale as I saw no one else on the ales - probably should have had a try but the two GBG entries for MM were poor so I didn't risk an ale here.

Always make a point of going in here on my (frequent) trips to Melton; as others have said, you couldn't find a more welcoming, cosy pub; Laura & Mick have really made something of the place; lovely atmosphere (warm real fire in winter) and well kept ales plus Laura's selection of fine single malts.

pint number #69 of my week off and prob the best pint of the week, the caledonian oatmeal stout was lush lush like the barmaid who must have had a great wrist action taking into account the spangly pump clips 8/10

We phoned ahead to check whether we could eat our locally purchased pie here & the guv said no prob, although when we arrived he did admit to having thought we were on a wind-up! Small pub, nicely furnished with surround settles at the front, plasma & dartboard to the rear. Look out for the bank of four interesting handpumps (decorative) opposite the bar � unfortunately the bar itself offered only IPA, Abbot & Bombardier, but the latter was in fine fettle. And the Thompson pies were splendid with local pickles & mustard.

If you want a relaxing and comftable place to have a drink then I highly recommend this cozy intimate little pub. Boasting three open fires you can leave your coat by the door and escape the cold into a safe relaxing atmosphere. The boat is as close to the town center as a pub can be just cross the road and your on the train. It is unique to the town as it has all the charm and community ambience of a typical country pub. A real gem of a pub with ales to please any connoisseur of drinkers. Highly recommended!!!

Great pub that used to be Burtonwood, but now serves a wider range of beers (Burton Bitter and Old Hooky last time - both in excellent condition). Warm and friendly welcome, this is a proper old fashioned boozer. Can get smokey Friday and Saturday evening, and seating gets limited on darts nights (Monday).

The Boat Inn is a quaint little public house situated in the heart of Melton Mowbray. I have been to this pub on many occasions and every time I walk in, I feel an immediately welcoming atmosphere. The licensees have always been extremely warming to me and anyone else who goes there. To top this off the food on sundays are a wonderful snack before sunday lunch. Great pub!
