The Pharmacie Arms

The Pharmacie Arms is at the heart of the Syston community, a real community lead Micro Pub, very family friendly, our age range is from two years to 99 years everyone just sits together and chats… no strangers just friends not yet made…
Since opening they have raised money for The Poppy Appeal, Loros, South Leicester Community First Responders, Teenage Cancer and Prostate Cancer UK plus others and also sponsor local teams and sportsmen.
They hold an annual ‘MacMillan Coffee Morning’ on the last Friday in September and have raised over £4,000 so far for the charity.
The annual Oktoberfest raises money for Teenage Cancer Trust.
The upstairs function room is available to be used by local community groups free of charge. Currently this includes the new Menopause Café, which is held on the first Wednesday every month and is also the home of RJ Vocal Coaching and Choir, who meet on Thursday evenings.
They are the winter home of Syston Town Cricket Club, who use the Board Room for committee meetings and The Pharmacie Arms helps by sponsoring them.
You are probably thinking what is a Micro-Pub? It is defined as ‘A Micropub is a small independent freehouse which listens to its customers, mainly serves cask ales, promotes conversation, shuns all forms of electronic entertainment and dabbles in traditional pub snacks’.
