| Wetherspoon's Blue Bell | A large L-shaped open room with a long glazed frontage onto the street. Wetherspoon's usual good beer and food.

| Nags Head | A plain but clean and tidy boozer on the main street. Sadly the hand pulled Batemans was very poor.

| Jolly Brewer | Normally I would describe this as a great traditionally done pub, but after the Kings Head and the Tobie Norris it's a bit more "ordinary"! Although at least there's a mobile signal here!
Nevertheless, a wide choice of quality real ales is offered in a large comfortable pub knocked through around a J-shaped counter. I had Oakham JHB which was excellent, although thanks to bar blockers watching footie combined with misted up specs due to the frosty weather, I couldn't see all the other options!

West Street / Foundry Road |
| King's Head | A wonderful gem, unexpectedly open and very busy when whatpub said it would be closed, early on a Sunday evening.
All the other customers seemed to know each other, ignoring the pub researcher typing away in the corner. (Until I got thanked for vacating my table.) Antique decor, some rough stonework, wooden floor. Excellent ales served from five handpumps. Last visited January 2020. |
Maiden Lane |
| Tobie Norris | Another historic-looking gem, multiple rooms with a higgledy-piggledy layout on two floors. Bare rough stone walls and quirky decor including about fifty chamber pots hanging from the ceiling in the quiet side area where I settled. Quality real ales are served.
Lots of customers early on a Sunday evening, the majority enjoying Sunday dinner. Take care on the steep stairs if you use the gents after a few pints! Last visited January 2020. |
St Paul's Street |
| Wetherspoon's Stamford Post | A rather odd, quirky 'spoons, the theme of the decor is goodness knows what but it's certainly comfortable and fun; I like it. Friendly staff and quality real ales.
