August 4, 2023 at 8:20 pmCame here for the Sausage & Cider Festival. Place was busy with a lovely beer garden which included a roof terrace.
Cider selection was really good and we tried several options. Staff were nice and manager was very helpful.
Food itself was very nice but not worth the price, way overpriced for how much you get.
Also another dog friendly venue.

Lovely and friendly staff. Great outside space for when it’s warmer and disabled access/automatic door opener too.
Allegedly it’s going to have a refit soon so thought it best to upload some photos of what it looks like before it changes lol

May 23, 2025 at 7:17 pmI recently visited Rutland and Darby Leicester and, while I haven’t yet had the opportunity to sample the food, I was impressed by several aspects of the venue. The drinks selection is extensive, with a strong variety of beers on tap and a wine menu that appears well-curated.
At the time of my visit, the pub was pleasantly quiet, which allowed for a relaxed experience. The beer garden is a particular highlight—spacious and well-maintained, it’s clearly ideal for socialising in finer weather.
The interior is stylish and thoughtfully laid out, although the green of the bar and a section of the ceiling might not be to everyone’s taste—though that’s entirely subjective.
The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. A special mention to Codie, who encouraged me to share this review.
I look forward to returning to try the food in future and would certainly recommend Darby and Ruth as a spot for drinks and conversation in Leicester.
