Leicestershire pubs on St Patrick's Day

Barngates. Back in Victorian years a landlady of this Inn found her ducks lying stretched out in the road and concluded that they were dead.Wrong - they were drunk! A beer barrel had leaked into the duck's customary feeding ditch. Now called the The Drunken Duck Inn. A top pub to get drunk this Paddy's Day!!

Beetham. The Wheatsheaf has been welcoming guests since 1609. Initially a farmhouse, the lady of the house provided meals to local farm labourers and the tradition of becoming a local hostelry grew from that time. Later, the Wheatsheaf became a coaching stop en route from Lancaster to Carlisle. Stop in for a few this St Patrick's Day.
