Exeter Arms, Derbyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The pub was very much alive and kicking when I was there 3 weeks ago. It's the nearby Royal Standard that closed. The old landlady has gone (hoorah!) and the new landlord seems very welcoming. The food is great - the old kitchen staff seem to have been retained - and huge portions. Old Empire seems to be the house beer. A few others were on tap but I only had eyes for the Empire so can't remember what they were.

I heard that this pub has been closed down - if it has it is a great shame - it was a nice place.

Decent pub, not very busy in the early afternoon. A few real ales on. A natural stop on a Derby pub crawl, between The Smithfield and Ye Olde Dolphin Inn.
|
nice pub just out of the town centre,friendly bar staff and locals,good pint of pedigree.
|
Attractive interior with interesting artefacts on the walls. The big attraction here is the magnificent "Yorkist" fireplace (where's that blacklead!?). Some opening-out but still retains a homely feel.
|
A really good, traditional pub with well-kept beer and good pub grub. Concerning the latter, please note that the portions are generous! Very friendly bar staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!
