Lovely bar staff here. So welcoming! Good laugh inside with good prices and some favourite bar snacks too! Regulars were very welcoming

Me and my brother fancied a pint after competing in a Ping Pong tournament nearby (Doubles) . We saw the Union Jack flags and bunting outside and decided to go in. Proper old school place. Welcoming atmosphere, real working man's, Brexit voting, salt of the earth, Tiger drinking, hard as nails yet soft as a puppy type place. We got talking to some fella at the bar, said his name was Arthur but we could call him Art. He told us all about his life. All about his wife Susan, his pet bulldog Alfred and his late friend Bob. Apparently this Bob fellow was in the forces in Northern Ireland during the height of the troubles (very dangerous.) Sounds like a top fella. Would have been nice to have met him. Apparently he did a great Frank Sinatra tribute. Great place highly recommend.

Nice pint, decent price, had a few games of pool with a few of the locals.

Went down to this pub today while on an important Tiger business trip. Met a lovely man called Bob who happened to serve in Northern Ireland in the height of the troubles (was very dangerous). He was so modest about the experience and hardly mentioned it during the second hour of us talking. Absolutely love the decorations in the pub, the union jacks on the ceiling really add to the tarmac Brexit atmosphere. Attached is a pic of me and my mate after our pints. Bob volunteered to take the pic as he’s surprisingly ex forces so is good with optical sights.

Had a cracking pint of tiger in there, it came recommended by an ex forces bloke by the name of bob. I spoke to him and his friend Arthur for a good hour. Bob tells me he gets up at the crack of dawn ready for his 5:00am work out. I take my hat off to the guy, a true inspiration for the younger generation. Great pub great atmosphere and nice to see the England flags around the bar, it does make me proud to see them.

A lovely little spot. I went in and asked for a pint of Heineken, before an elderly gentleman named Bob interjected telling me to “stay away from that nasty Eurofizz” and advised I try Tiger Ale. I preceded to buy a pint of Tiger for myself and one for Bob who turned out to be a truly charming local, who, would you know, is an ex-serviceman who served in Northern Ireland and the height of the Troubles (very dangerous!) although he didn’t like to talk about it, a very modest chap. We sat for hours drinking lovely lukewarm pints of tiger and browsing his archive of Daily Mail newspapers, although Bob had to leave early for his 4:30 am military workout - you can take Bob out the military but you can’t take the military out of Bob! Thanks Bob and staff for a lovely experience!

Cracking traditional English pub. Very much enjoyed the atmosphere and my visit was made all the better by the presence of an elderly local named Bob, who is evidently a regular. Bob is so humble, and an absolute gentleman, and we talked for hours about the need for a granite Brexit as well as his time in the forces. I must come back again for one of his Frank Sinatra tribute nights. Tiger beer on tap is a nice touch.

O. P.

Can’t recomend enough. Attended while passing through as I spotted an elderly man in a white vest shadow boxing out the front and I was Instantly intrigued. As I parked up I got the whiff of lager and a touch of a pot noodle and knew I was in for a treat of a visit. Once I entered I was very pleased with the layout and decor. England flags were all over the gaff and it really made me feel like it was a blue passport pub. Bar staff were very very polite, especially dolly, birds are her favourite hobby and we chatted about them for ages. I then encountered the local fella in the white vest. And he made the experience even more sweet, he wasn’t impressed with the fizzy pop I was drinking but I had upmost respect for him as I later found out (after a lot of pressing and work) he was in the forces and he used to dish up wallops in the heights of the troubles, but he didn’t like speaking about it. We also had a passionate chat about football and funnily enough we supported the same team in Leicester city. It made the experience even better if I’m honest. The fella had some great stories about his rover getting him up and down the country! If I remember correctly his name was bob?! Safe to say I will be returning to this pub. The local people and bar staff are really great people and epitomise this great country. So all in all a great visit. Highly recommend, Great staff, great customers and great vibes. O. P. x

Great pub with a nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly and nice selection of beers and spirits. Experience somewhat spoilt by an old man we now know is called 'Bob' who insisted on sitting near us for the duration of our stay despite a foul odour emanating from him. After we asked staff if they could have a word with him and ask him to move he went on a tirade about respecting ex forces men before leaving. Regardless we enjoyed our time and will be back.

Heard about this place from a mate, goes by the name of Tommy Robinson. Immediately felt at home - bunting, Union Jacks, Chaz & Dave and Bob & Arthur - Brexit couldn’t come soon enough if this is what it looks like. Anyway, Bob & Arthur are regulars and both have their own plaque behind the bar. Both served in NI at a bad time but it made them the men they are today - their stories humbled us. The Tiger was exceptional, I’ve never had such a hairy chest, and after a pep talk from Bob, my 3 year old no longer wears tutu’s. Thanks again Bob. Roll on 19 March 2019.

I had the pleasure of stopping by this pub on my way to Croft Quarry where I planned on disposing of an automobile. I had been thinking of a pint of Tiger all day and sure enough it was on tap. It was a beautiful sight. The regulars and staff are quite welcoming to out-of-towners as well. I met this one old fellow named Bob who looked like a man who had seen action protecting Queen and country, the kind that I've only seen from men who fought in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, which from what I have read, was the worst time to be there. I never had the courage to ask. He did let me know what Pot Noodle flavor paired well with a good English ale. Overall, I do plan on coming back if my travels take me to the Leicester area.

Pubs like this make you proud to be English. Went in with a couple of mates before a big night out. Typically we would get the Jaegerbombs in, but when we went to the bar, one of the oldies propping up the bar took exception and said we should stick to the Tiger. After ordering 3 Tigers, and one for our new mate Bob, we had a cracking night and ended up staying until close. Bob or Big Bob to his old army mates starting telling us about his time in the forces, especially when he was stationed in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles. Fantastic place, with a proper Brexit, Union Jack style decor. We will be back and hopefully Bob is in to greet us!

G. R.

Fantastic experience here. Was approached outside by a strange looking bloke prior to entering who made me feel uncomfortable but an older local bloke who goes by the name of ‘Bob’ came and sorted it out and clobbered him a bit. Bob took me under his wing and made me feel very welcome. The pub has a warm atmosphere and you sense a real pride to the pub with lots of Union Jack decorations. He reccommended me ordering a Tiger which they have on tap. The least I could do was return the generosity shown by Bob by offering him a pint. Turns out he was ex forces ( did some heavy work in Northern Ireland involving the IRA and even went to the falklands) but he gets shy talking about it, I had to insist as he was a fascinating bloke. I’m so impressed he still does his strict military training regime, he’d ran a 12 mile circuit and completed 200 press-ups before he’d come to his local. Highly recommend this place and as Bob would often say “don’t like it, know where the door is”.

Lovely pint of tiger on tap and some fine brexit supporting local who was telling me about his service in the military. Think his name was Bob and he was accompanied by another tough looking elderly gentleman called Arthur. I met Bob when I was asking the barman for a pint of dark fruits and he interjected saying you should avoid that fizzy pop rubbish and have something that would put hairs on your chest. He inspired me to order a tiger and told me about his service in Northern Ireland (he didn't like to talk about it at first) so I ordered him and arthur one. Bob told me he was a dedicated Leicester fan occasionally runs into trouble before games. He told me he wakes at 0500 to train as the military never left him. A good old fashioned boozer with England flags plastered around. Would recommend to any one looking for a nice pint. Cheers Callum

Took a wrong turn and ended up passing by this place so decided to call in. Best thing I ever did! Ordered a pint of Fosters - when an old local guy started shaking his head and shouted “we drink Tiger in here!”, so of course I changed my order and got him one too (he looked a bit of a hard man despite his age and I’m not local!). Spent the next couple of hours buying rounds with Bob - he told me a bit about his time in the military in Northern Ireland before his other friend turned up and we parted ways. Would definitely go again if it wasn’t so far from me 😥

Fantastic for all the family. We were immediately welcomed by two of the regulars, kind old gentlemen (Bob, I think his name was, and his old army friend, Arthur). After such a warm welcome, we needed a cold drink and luckily enough, The Nag's Head does a cracking pint of draught Tiger. Lovely! Very patriotic atmosphere, with the bar area festooned with Union Jacks and Chas and Dave on the jukebox. Best Brexit-themed family pub in Leicester, by a mile. Thanks guys, highly recommended.

Was lucky enough to enjoy a pint of mead in this No Deal Brexit establishment. The Union Jack buntings add a real ambience to the pub, as do the plaques behind the bar dedicated to local hero resident named "Bob" who served queen and country in the most perilous of times, a man who is a true testament to the fact legends are born, not manufactured. Was pleasing to see the pub spontaneously erupt into a rendition of "God Save the Queen" throughout the evening, and the re-runs of Only Fools and Horses and Dads Army added a new layer of fun to the evening. Overall I recommend this pub to any carbon fibre brexit man or woman looking forward to a few evening Beers.

J. M.

i don’t usually go to pubs as i prefer going to more modern places that serves a nice cider but i was pleasantly surprised with the nags head! upon entering i found an old boy called bob sat drinking a tiger ale. i got chatting to bob and had a brilliant evening with him! turns out he served in ireland at the height of the troubles (dangerous) but he doesn’t like to mention it (the barmaid told me!). i strongly recommend this pub to any english loving man. fantastic pub with fantastic people.

Lovely visit to this establishment. Went in and ordered a pint of their finest Fosters when an elderly gentleman interjected and suggested ditching the 'pointless fizzy piss' and that i should instead opt for a pint of the pubs speciality, Tiger ale. He told me it was a mans drink and would put hairs on my chest. When asked, he told me his name was Bob and ,with a bit of digging, that he was ex forces. He left shortly after due to being up at 04:45 for his daily workout. Puts us youngsters to shame. Would highly recommend the ale, the pub and the bantz!! ❤Bob

U. R.

What a pub! Stumbled across this beauty after the Leicester game. They serve a cracking pint of stella, even got into conversation with a nice local named Bob, he told me about his services in NI, but got sheepish when i offered to buy him a drink. The England bunting and Brexit banners added to character of a great British pub, would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

Turned up at the Nags Head earlier today after hearing so much about a character by the name of Old Bob. Upon arrival, I was greeted by an individual by the name of Arthur - a friend of Old Bob & a Nags Head regular I am lead to believe. I asked Arthur when Bob would turn up, however he then became misty-eyed (didn't cry mind you, tells me men of his calibre are made of sterner stuff) and informed me that Bob had passed away just a couple of days ago on the toilet with a pot noodle in hand. As shocking as this news was, Arthur was only too happy to indulge me in the tales of Old Bob's life. His Frank Sinatra tribute acts, the dollybirds, his beloved Maureen as well as tales of his time in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles (something which I was not familiar with). We raised a pint of Tiger in his memory & parted ways. Sleep easy Bob, the country will always be in debt to men like you.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I was in Enderby and was shocked to see so many England flags without any protests. I had to go in, I immediately heard God Save the Queen playing on repeat. I went to go order a pint of coke until an older man named Bob walloped me for drinking a soft drink. Bob made me order a pint of tiger so I bought him and his dollybird Tatiana one as well. Bob is ex-forces and was initially hesitant to tell me about his time "Dishing out wallopings to the nancyboys." However you can tell that the forces never left this man. He wakes at 4:30 every morning and begins extensive military training at 5. There was another older man from the forces there named Arthur. Bob and Arthur clearly knew each other, however Arthur said some nasty things so Bob walloped him back to 1962. I walked in a remoaner accountant who didn't drink and left a real man undergoing extensive training to join the military, drinking tiger for breakfast and a granite Brexit supporter. Decor was a bit dated.

Went on a pub crawl and happened to meet a very modest pensioner named Bob. He’s well known in Enderby for his service to Queen and Country in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles (worst time to be there), although he goes by the ex-forces code of silence. Over a few pints of Everards Tiger, I had a good chat with him about the city, Filbert Street, blue passports and granite brexit. Still gets up at 0500 hours to commence shadow boxing on the patio, and goes by the motto, shirts off and down to business. Next thing I knew he was up singing Sinatra, with his rendition of fly me to the moon, whilst I was enjoying a cold pint of wallop juice. Very good value for money with a no-deal Brexit drink and live entertainment. Would definitely visit again. Cheers Matt.

After months of searching throughout the Midlands for the perfect wedding reception venue, me and my fiancee settled on this lovely little public house on the fringes of Enderby. The decor is decidedly British (think Union Jacks and pictures of Thatcher on the walls) which is fantastic for us as we both voted to leave the European Union. The food is fantastic as well, I'm surprised that the chef at 'the Nags' hasn't been picked up by a fancy restaurant in the close bustling metropolis of Leicester. What a spread! We're talking real English fayre - pork pies, sausage rolls and proper pineapple and cheese on sticks. A particular highlight was of course the drinks selection, with Tiger on tap (my wife's favourite), we knew we couldn't go wrong. The only minor upset of the night was that although we'd expressed that only those invited could attend, a regular 'Bob' and his friend 'Arthur' pushed their way passed the mother of the bride (who's in her 90s) to sit at their regular bar stools. So as to not upset the apple cart (and because they looked tough - possibly ex-forces) I agreed that they could stay on condition that they not have anymore than 5 pints of Tiger each, and a handful of snacks from the buffet spread. In fairness to Bob, after the band had ended he got up on stage and gave us an excellent rendition of 'You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me' by the late great Frank Sinatra. It was quite remarkable how much he sounded like the real thing. To cap off the evening, him and Arthur led the pub in a few choruses of 'Jerusalem' and 'Rule Britannia'. The wedding party swelled with pride as we were led through chants about leaving the EU (Arthur nearly spoiled the mood by making a distasteful joke about our marriage ending up in messy divorce - just like the UK and EU). We finished the event around 11 o'clock, with a car taking me and my wife off to the airport for our honeymoon in Benidorm. All in all, a fantastic evening in a lovely little pub with the spirit of Dunkirk swirling throughout. 10 on 10.

Cracking establishment. Spent the day looking for a good old fashioned boozer and the nags head delivered on all accounts. Went up for a pint of numberz, but an old chap (forget his name, Bob?) Interjected with 'Alcopop for nonces' and luckilly turned me to the Tiger they have on tap. Spent the rest of the evening in his fantastic company with his stories about his time touring Norrhern Ireland at the height of the troubles... had to press him on it though, modest so he is. Love the union jack draped over the back bar! The 'Brexit breakfast' was a nice touch too, would definately visit again.

Visited here recently with my wife for a quiet drink. Got talking to what at first seemed a rather odd couple called Bob and Tatiana, as the bloke was in his 70s and his wife early 20s, cracking russian dollybird though. Bob told me about his days in the forces dishing up blue passport wallops in northern ireland at the height of troubles (the worst time to be there). Bought him a pint of tiger out of respect to an ex forces hero. Cheers Tom

Stumbled across the Nags Head, Enderby whilst on a tour of Leicestershire’s finest craft beer breweries and micro pubs. Fancying some Belgian inspired beer I enquired as to the availability of gueuze or fruit lambic. When I was told they had none a very helpful local, Bob I think his name was, suggested rather than drinking that “Walloon juice muck” I’d be better off with a pint of Tiger. Normally I’d resist such suggestions but have to say the pint was first rate. I had several more with Bob during which time he told me some fine stories of his time in the forces and various wallopings he’d dished out. An excellent pub and some very interesting locals. A+.

M. S.

great pub. had some good nights talkin to an ex forces guy called bob about us needing a granite brexit. unfortunatly i had some bad news recently that bob passed away. his wake is being organised at the Nags Head. he got to know the landlord well and he agreed a free bar so long as its a pint of wallop juce (tiger) and no fruit based nancy drinks. date to be confirmed.

M. L.

Went into this pub afew weeks ago with a few of the lads all wearing one direction t shirts. Then a bloke called Bob began telling us that they are nancyboys and that Frank Sinatra is a better choice of artist. He then explained he was leicestershires finest Sinatra impersonater. Also heard from a bloke called Arthur that he was ex forces (served in Belfast at the height of the troubles, worst time to be there) and trains at 0500 hrs every day. I asked bob and he confirmed it was true however did not like to speak about his brave service, brilliant chat, will be visiting again cheers Ovo

D. S.

Cracking place. Went in for a beer after a hard day's work. Told my mate I was tired and an elderly gentleman who I later found out is named Bob overheard and told me " You don't know you've been born son. I'm a pensioner and I rise at 0430hrs every morning ready for shadow boxing & press ups at 0500hrs". This pep talk truly changed my life and after digging very deep I managed to find out Bob is actually Ex-Forces ( Northern Ireland height of the troubles. Worst time to be there). Amazing how he didn't mention it until asked and became very embarrassed when I offered to buy him a pint. 5 stars would visit again. Cheers Dan

W. K.

A wonderful place to enjoy a pint of Tiger, if you’re lucky you’ll catch local hero Old Bob performing his heartfelt Frank Sinatra tribute. But he’s ex forces and doesn’t take fools gladly, wallops will be dished out- you’ve been warned.

O. H.

Up there on the bucket list of places to visit. Tiger on tap too. Met some cracking ex-forces lads (although they didn't want to talk about it) Arthur and Bob, I think their names were. Had some cracking stories about dishing out wallops, also their military training regime puts these young Nancy boys to shame. Highly recommend this pub.

P. N.

Visited this fine establishment last week with a few of my colleagues after our shift at the local building site. We bumped into an individual who's name now escapes me (I believe it was Rob or Bobby, or something)? He told us about his commendable work in Northern Ireland in the height of the troubles, and although he made it distinctly clear that 'our type is not welcome around here', and that he would soon be 'dishing out wallops' if we were not to leave, we struggle to find fault in the service provided by the Brexit loving staff members here. If I was a Brit, this place would be my go to.

O. H.

Lovely pint of tiger and met a couple of locals, Bob and Arthur. Bob was exforces though he didn't like to talk about it. Great to hear the wallops he dished up and his views on a granite Brexit. Lovely pub experience.

D. R.

A shining hard-brexit jewel in a sea of PC-gone-mad gastro bars with their table tennis, their books and their half pints of gender fluid. Serves proper drinks, like Tiger on tap, or via a mainline straight into the veins (recommended). Atmosphere reminded me of the good ole days i.e 'Farage-esque with a hint of Mogg'. Went in and couldn't see the bar through the Union Jack bunting and the dimpled mugs, the barmaid proudly declaring that they do not recycle (despite tyrannical EU regulations) nor do they use hoovers (in protest of the EU mandated 'powerful hoover ban' that has blighted these shores and it's carpets for the last time). One old man in the corner with a whippet and a pint of gravy sets the tone off nicely. I witnessed him dish out multiple wallops to passing students, librarians and vegetarians who tried to enter. apparently his name was Bob and he served in Ireland at the height of the troubles (very dangerous) not that he talked about it mind (extremely modest, unlike all these millennial types). The air is delightfully thick with daily mail, Boris on the TV declaring public spending cuts for softie socialist types is met with cheers here. I breathe in and fill my lungs with colonial glee. This is home.

J. L.

It was here at the nags head we an a fellow work colleague stopped off for a pint and some food when we came across a local named Bob & friend named Auther, I think it was he mentioned that he served in northern Ireland at height of its troubles, upon trying to order a fosters we received advice from the ex forces man that it should be a Carling so upon which we did had a 1 few too many so we thought it was wise to order food as ordering a chicken tikka masala Bob dished out a few worst time to be there height of its troubles clobbering on which we had to leave other than that 4 stars. Would visit again.

Came up from the liberal London locals of my gaff for a family celebration up here in Leicester. Saw this solid local and we went in. What a sight! True Brexit colours of British pride running through the halls. None of that liberal poofter nonsense! True sight! Enjoyed a good carling with the old man! Tried the order a pimms but none that sissy drink here! True place for all brexiteers! Would strongly recommend for all! You'll turn British from just the sight!

Proper Granite Brexit pub. Tiger on tap, union jacks everywhere! Took my remainer pan-sexual brother Drew and one of the locals Bob gave him a wallop and called him a spastic. Told him about his time in Northern Ireland in the troubles (worst time to be there) and now Drew is a hard brexit walloper.

l. j.

Loverly pub, the Stella's unreal best pint in Leicester by far never taken one back billions of bubbles always clean glasses very quick service and Great staff.

C. W.

Had an absolute cracker of a night. Learnt a lot about the armed forces and Jamie Vardy’s workrate. Sticky Brexit atmosphere and best of all no Dark Fruits on draft. Lovely man called Bob went out of his way to make us feel welcome. (He’s ex forces)

J. T.

Visited 3/6/17 for family wedding reception. Polite, friendly staff. Impressed with barman who served me because on 2nd visit to bar he remembered my order exactly. Great atmosphere and surroundings. Buffet food was well presented outside. Would recommend to anyone looking for a location for their party/reception.

I. W.

Best pint of tiger I’ve ever had. I almost ordered a babysham chaser but an old fella in there, Robert, recommended the Tiger. Top fella and a great pint.

S. J.

M. K.

Cracking pint of Tiger, best I've had in the Enderby area. Also had a scintillating chat about immigration with a local, ex-forces type - kept banging on about blue passports and a granite brexit.

Cracking pint of tiger, word of advice though don’t come in here unless you’re ready for a scrap had a gret wallop of a 6ft 7 ex service fella felt like I got hit by an artic lorry, because I looked at his mate funny think his name was Arthur, would come again.
