Popular 1950s two-roomed pub which has been run by an enthusiastic CAMRA member for 30 years. There is a quiet lounge to the left, while to the right is a more lively bar/games room where a quiz is held on Sunday night. A beer festival is held on the third weekend of August. The Piper is close to Wicksteed Park, one of Britain's first theme parks. An outdoor seating area is across the road from the pub. Tries to have a dark beer as one of the guest ales.

Asset of Community Value

Built in the 1950s and externally intact with terrazzo walkway into the hall with toilets off. It still retains two bars but has lost its off sales which is now combined with the Lounge - note the position of the pillar just inside the room. The lounge on the left and the public bar on the right both have their original counters but have new fronts; the bar back lower sections are mainly original but the top parts only date from 1999. Fixed seating in the lounge might be original but re-upholstered but that in the bar looks new. Stone fireplace in the lounge could date from 50s. Gents toilets are intact with a tiled floor and dado tiled walls and possible the ladies are as well. The amount of modern fittings make this pub unsuitable for inclusion.
