Oakham Southern Cross at the Raglan Arms, Rugby

This small community pub is only a stone’s throw away from the commercial district of Rugby but it has all the feel of a small local, and despite the appearance of a tied house outside it had beers from three independent breweries within. There’s a couple of picnic benches outside its front doors for those who like their beer al fresco, but it’s still sealed off from the main street. Inside is a snug on the left while the right leads out into a long room that takes up the rest of the pub. The bar is in the middle and there’s a stage at the top of the stairs. The landlord here was very friendly and instantly took an interest in where we were from and our plans for the day. We visited this pub before the grand refurbishment; and it’s now tied to Black Country Ales. I’ve not a chance to visit yet.
