West End Brewery have announced that they will be closing down at the end of the year. The final day will be on New Years Eve 2022.


Work has started on a £650,000 refurbishment at the pub which has been closed since July 2020.
Star Pubs and Bars is undertaking the work along with new operator Michael Thomas, who runs three other pubs around Leicestershire: The Dovecote, in Narborrough; The Bull, in Broughton Astley; and The Lime Tree, in Whetstone.


The Ale stone has a familiar face as it’s new owner. Kieron Lyons has taken on the lease from Richard Thomas and will be running the Aylestone pub after a small refurb is complete.
A belated presentation took place on Wednesday 23rd March 2022 at the Syston Social Club. The club won the award after votes from Leicester branch members and the winners were announced at the 2020 Leicester Beer festival. Unfortunately, that was just two weeks before lockdown and we have only just managed to get the presentation done.
