Church End Brewery  This somewhat uninspiring building, tucked away down a narrow driveway between houses in Ridge Lane, houses both the Church End Brewery and a bar selling a range of its beers. There is a large car park and beer garden. Church End Brewery was originally established in 1994, although not on this site; as well as the brewery tap here the company owns another pub at Stoke Golding in Leicestershire.
