There are 2 well-regarded pubs sitting side by side on Main Street, both well known locally for their atmosphere, cuisine and selection of ales.
Dating back in part to the 13th century and thought to have one of the finest spires in the county, St. Mary's parish church sits on the eastern fringe of the village. Day to day amenities, secondary schooling and leisure facilities can be found in the neighbouring town of Syston.
