Gary Foley	1979-1980	Talking about this pub the other day. Mate and myself played darts here; as well visiting infrequently (it wasn't the liveliest place). A Courage pub
Antoni Zarzycki	1990-1994	I worked very briefly at the De Montfort taking over from a female member of staff who was apparently stabbed! I was only 18 years of age and lasted just a few weeks. The pub was then shut down and coincidentally re-opened by Mark and Michelle under the name Wig and Pen who I knew and they let me rent a room above the pub with my girlfriend at the time Sam.
