The Stumble Inn, Long Eaton

The Stumble Inn was first opened in 1899, by Publican William Kilbey, originally known as The Wheatsheaf.

During the Second World War, the Wheatsheaf pub in Long Eaton acted as an unofficial local contact point for the families of servicemen posted overseas. The pub was one of very few places that actually had a telephone, and of course very few people had a telephone in their own homes in those days. Fast forward 60+ years, and The Wheatsheaf came to an end.

This is where Martin and Kerry came in and completely transformed the pub into what is now The Stumble Inn. Working around the clock to renovate the pub, Martin and Kerry have managed to make The Stumble Inn into a warming local for the residents of Long Eaton by day, and a Live Music Venue by night for bands all over the midlands now eager to perform at.

After two years of transforming the place, The Stumble Inn was presented with an award for Most Improved Pub in Erewash by CAMRA. Now serving a whole range of Real Ales from both local micro breweries and national favourites, The Stumble Inn is a watering hole for the Real Ale Enthusiast.
