The Globe

Serving Leicester since 1720

The Globe has been synonymous with serving dine ales and food since 1720, where quality ales were brewed using spring water drawn from its own well beneath the pub, which still exists today.

Prior to becoming a public house, the Globe had several interesting uses, including a cattle merchants and accommodation for women awaiting impending execution at the hands of the noose man in nearby Gallowtree Gate. This may go some way to explaining the reported haunting within the premises, which includes the ghost of a woman on the stairs, two disagreeing brothers that argue over the bar and a young boy in the cellar who turns off the beer!

Ever So “Environmentally” Sensible

Climate change is a real threats to all our futures, we all need to start doing things differently before it is too late. As a business we actively take steps to be more sustainable.  Whilst we can’t change everything immediately, we have made a start, see below.

• Increasing “plant-based” food items on all our menus
• Reducing food waste throughout our sites
• Smaller changes like switching to eco-friendly straws, napkins, and toilet rolls.
• Reviewed our waste recycling and now separate our food waste, glass and cardboard.
• Working with suppliers to reduce unnecessary packaging.
• Switching all our Electric and Gas to a of 100% renewable energy supplier
• Started making the change from gas cookers to electric induction cookers in our kitchens.
• As our hot water boilers need replacing these will become electric rather than gas
• Some of our sites even give their vegetable off-cuts away as animal feed!
• Where possible, we are installing electric car charging points in our car parks. The MD now drives a fully electric car with other company vehicles being Hybrids.

We will keep looking for changes we can make now and in the future.  If you can suggest other practical and sensible action we can undertake please let us know 🙂
