Fairly large and well appointed Everard's suburban local. The interior features bare boards and exposed brickwork. Charcoal grey painted walls have various pictures. There is a Chesterfield near the front entrance. Music was playing and there a few games machines. TVs were switched off. To the side is a large dining room. A visit to the gents found them in a very good condition. Dogs are allowed in.
Car parking is a little limited behind the pub, but there is an overspill car park across the road. Outdoor seating can be found at the front and adjacent to the rear car park.
Regular cask ales are Everard's Tiger & Old Original. Also on from Everard's were Roller Coaster & Hi-Score. Guests were Welbeck Abbey New Rise & Brunswick White Feather. A 7th handpull was clipped with Sheppy's Blackberry & Elderflower Cider. Craft beers were Everard's Buffalo, Ohio & Level Up & Camden Stout. Drinks menus on each table can help you choose from other drink types.
A CAMRA discount is offered on pints but somehow this pub has dropped out of the Good Beer Guide this year. I'd happily return.

A revisit for the F-i-L’s birthday meal. A lot quieter on a dreary weekday afternoon which gave me a bit more room to appreciate the décor and layout, which is decent - two norms and fairly well done. Usual Everards stagers plus two small batch brews and one guest in Titanic. Downed pints of Old Original (NBSS 2) and Tiger (3.5). 6.5

Looks like a nice village pub from outside but inside a huge refurb barn. Full of kids from all the local villages passing off their fake IDs on early Saturday evening. Full Everards range on cask with a couple of their small batch brews as well, my Black Forest was barrel-end though (NBSS 2). A successful pub in terms of punter numbers if nothing else. I think the praise I see for it elsewhere (Telegraph's Top 500!?) may well be from a different time. Rated 6

The Stamford Arms is in the middle of Groby and it is a nice looking pub from the outside.
Once inside there was one largish room with an island bar,there were different types of tables and chairs giving the pub a rustic feel.
This pub is an Everards tied house and there were six real ales on the bar i had a drink of Everards Beacon bitter and this was a very nice drink the other beers were Everards Tiger bitter, Everards Original,Everards Sunchaser and a new seasonal beer called Whakatu there was also a guest beer from York brewery called Long Daze.
This pub had a really nice relaxed atmosphere to it and i could have stayed here all afternoon.
