VILLAGE PUB BEGINS A NEW FURROW

We are very happy to be beginning a new furlough at The Old Plough.



After 15 very successful years at The White Horse we have the opportunity to add
another offering for the good folks of Birstall and our customers from further
afield.

SINCE 1811




WE LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING YOU SOON!

We plan to offer you a’ village pub’ which will be a very different to what we
do at the White Horse, it will however have our signature of friendliness,
reliability, quality, cleanliness and our Birstall community focus.



You will find a new atmosphere at The Old Plough, smiley  faces, a great
selection of drinks and some quality bar fodder. We will open a much-changed pub
with new carpets, furnishings, and a fresh coat of paint.


BOTH THE WHITE HORSE AND THE OLD PLOUGH WERE OWNED BY THE STRETON DERBY ALES
COMPANY, AND BOTH WERE REBUILT IN 1929.




REBUILT IN 1929


SOME LITTLE KNOWN, YET COMMON BIRSTALL HISTORY…

The White Horse and The Old Plough share some common history, did you know…



The Old Plough (Inn) is the oldest public house in Birstall and until 1811
brewed its own ales.  It was these ales that were taken down the lane to provide
refreshment for the labourers who were building the canal, and this outpost then
became The White Horse.

The Old Plough was originally a picturesque, thatched building which had an
ancient outbuilding which served as the village mortuary when bodies were
recovered from the nearby canal.
In 1955 The Old Plough boasted Leicester’s most original cocktail bar when Ex
Sailor Bernard Fawkes was landlord.


DRINKS AT THE OLD PLOUGH

The drinks come first at The Old Plough, immediately as you walk in, there’s a
bank of traditional hand pull real ales and that is how we want to set the tone.
The drinks offering is a well thought through selection of beers, lagers, and
ciders, different from the White Horse to tempt you,  with an entry price lager,
bitter and spirit selection. There’ll be a good range of Rose, White and Red
wines all by the glass or bottle too.



The Old Plough will have traditional bar food fayre with a selection of crusty
cobs, doorstep sandwiches, Ploughman’s platters, and scotch eggs on offer to
compliment your drinks.




ENTERTAINMENT

We offer our customers great drinks and lots of reasons to venture out, whether
it’s for a daytime drink at a bottomless brunch, or for dancing at a disco
afternoon, there’ll also be live Sky sports on the TV screens.



We will also be having evening entertainments and already have live bands lined
up bimonthly until December. We will hold our own Birstall beer festival,
Octoberfest, in October!
 
We are really open to suggestions from the community, so please let us know if
there’s something you like to see us offer.

We have darts boards, lots of playing cards and traditional pub games available.
 
Watermead Park is only a short distance away so why not pop in for some
refreshment after a walk, we are dog friendly too.
 
The pub will be available for parties, wakes, and other private, please just ask
a member of our team
 
FYI – Other improvements projects such as updating the toilets are planned in
for the near future so please bear with us while we get going.
