About This Pub

Ah, Moonface Brewery & Tap – what a delightful little spot it is in Loughborough. From what I've gathered from the reviews and a bit of my own imagining, it's all about those fantastic home-brewed ales and craft beers that flow straight from the cask, leaving you with that satisfying, fresh taste that's hard to beat. The staff sound like absolute gems, always greeting you with a big smile and making sure you're well looked after, which really adds to the charm. It's got this relaxed, easy-going feel that's just perfect for sinking into a chair with friends, and those occasional treats like cheese and biscuits on Sundays make it feel extra special. On the flip side, it might not be the best choice if you're out on your own, as it can come across as a bit quiet without a crowd to liven things up. Plus, with only five days a week open and some wonky website access, you'll want to plan ahead. All in all, it's a solid pick for anyone after a genuine, unpretentious pub experience – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the minor niggles.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The beers are absolutely cracking – fresh home-brewed ales and a good range of craft options that really hit the spot.
  • Staff are wonderfully welcoming and friendly, always ready with a smile and a chat to make you feel right at home.
  • It's got a relaxed, laid-back vibe that's perfect for unwinding, especially when there's a group or two in.
  • They often have lovely little extras like cheese and biscuits on Sundays, which adds a nice touch to the experience.
  • Prices are inexpensive, so you can enjoy a pint or two without breaking the bank.
Cons
  • It might feel a bit quiet or strange if you're popping in on your own, as the atmosphere really picks up with a few groups around.
  • Opening hours are a tad limited, only five days a week with varying times, so it's worth checking in advance to avoid disappointment.
  • Their website seems to be playing up and isn't accessible right now, which makes it trickier to get the latest info before heading over.

We walked in to the most fantastic welcome and glorious smile from a lovely friendly young lady who proceeded to serve us delicious home brewed ale straight from a cooled cask. The owner then introduced herself to us and offered us cheese and biscuits, the normal custom here on a Sunday we were told. Altogether a lovely experience encompassing so much that is lacking these days from our dwindling pub stock. All those involveed here are to be congratulated for getting it 'right', we cant wait to return. Well done folks, you're a credit to the hospitality trade. Nick and Jo.

Very nice little pub with good range of beers for it's size. Real ales gravity fed and a couple of craft beers on a keg system. Strange if you're in there on your own but if there's a couple of groups in there it's a nice atmosphere. Well worth a stop on a pub crawl

A laid-back place with delicious beers on tap. It's always nice to see what new beers they have available. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. And occasionally they have out cheese and crackers which is very appreciated!

Still a great place for great cask beer. Back again Feb 2023. Charnwood Brewery Crazy Fox is awesome. And Moonface Imperial Stout is very good out of the wooden barrel, but not for everyone. Ask for a taste. Staff are as brilliant as ever.

Hidden gem!! Really nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly landlady, good choice of good beer and excellent cider. They have just started an acoustic night on Thursdays which they said was good and so will try out soon. Tasty local snacks - pork pie, scotch egg etc. Nice ambience and locals very friendly too. Definitely one to visit
