In spite of the latest regulations prohibiting pubs from selling take-away real ale, breweries can still do this.

Visit Lougborough's real ale breweries: Charnwood and Moonface to purchase your supplies.

Alternatively, pubs are still allowed to deliver real ale to your home. In Loughborough, the Needle & Pin, and the Wheeltapper are among those pubs offering home delivery.

From the 6th January, England entered a national lockdown. The guidelines indicate that pubs are not now allowed to sell take-away real ale.

This is probably the last straw for many of our pubs.

If you are able, please email your MP to ask for help to reverse this crazy policy. Use the link: https://camra.cmail20.com/t/j-l-adtnud-ijdklrjhp-j/

From Thursday 31st December 2020, Leicestershire enters Tier 4. This means that all "non essential" shops join Pubs and Restaurants in being forced to close.

Although there seems to be little hope at the moment for our publicans, we can all do our bit to help by purchasing take-away beer and food from those pubs offering these services.
