The Nags Head, Enderby

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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 😥

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
