About Steamin' Billy Pubs

The Steamin’ Billy Brewing Company Ltd was founded in 1995 by brewer Bill Allingham and licensee Barry Lount. Their first outlets were The Vaults in Wellington St, which became Leicester’s premium real ale house, followed by the Robert Catesby in Norfolk a 16th century Inn. After some reorganisation in 2000 the two directors currently own the 7 venues featured on this website.
