The Needle and Pin

Reviewed By adamkX9612PI

Hi. I have been visiting The Needle & Pin "Almost" since it first opened. I wrote a brief review some 9 months ago, and and seeing so many 5 star reviews since. Sean and Rebecca have continued to deliver knowledgeable, consistent high standards, and a very welcoming experience. There is in addition to the vast array of craft ales and ciders, an expanding portfolio of gins and whisky, whiskies. From Scotland, and Ireland and Japan. What makes The Needle & Pin special? The owners, and staff and the intelligent conversation from everyone. A superb venue to visit.

Cask Bah.

Reviewed By sianashli

Great bar, fantastic friendly staff. Love the variety of entertainment on offer and music to suit different tastes as well as getting the customers involved with requests. The staff really value their customers and there is a personalised feel. Great choice of Ale, lots of choice for Gin and Tonic including Fever Tree tonic or from the pump (cheaper option, suits me fine!) No two nights are ever the same so you just have to keep going back!

Great real ales. Love this pub. Nice warm roaring fire last night, sat in a very comfy chair by the fire drinking infinity, very friendly staff and good prices. Keep up the good work, try one of their pork pies too.

The Wheeltapper

The Wheeltapper is a modern bar situated on Woodgate in Loughborough. Specialising in real ale and craft beer on draught.

Reviewed By Mikejy

An excellent micro-pub, but quite large in extent and with a patio garden. At the time of our visit physical distancing was easy, with table service. There’s a great range of well kept beers, both cask and keykeg, some of which are gluten free (the owner is a coeliac). There are also some ciders. Great Central Railway and other railway memorabilia are on the walls. Recommended for both small and large groups, when we can, and for long or short stays.
