| Is this the worst pub in Derbyshire? Probably not, but it's doing its best. With fireless fireplaces, stone cold radiators and the foulest beer (which, apparently, "the locals like"), it was unsurprising to find the bar empty. There's absolutely no need to visit this pub when the much better 'Black's Head' is only 50 yards away and 'the Royal Oak' is just around the corner. SteadyDrinker - 15 Apr 2012 15:02 |
| Two distinct halves to this pub, one half full of families and the other full of youths who seemed to be either very drunk or high on something; -seemed a bit early in the afternoon for that to me. Anyway the front bar seemed to attract a rum bunch but the pub's own ale is very nice and the pool table only costs 50p so I had a lovely time. Also, the sozzled youngsters were putting some excellent tunes on the clearly fantastic juke box so we were glad they were there. dyyony - 25 Oct 2011 20:50 |
| Me and my brother called in here yesterday after a quick visit to the EVR railway and we enjoyed a wel-kept pint of Batemen's Summer Swallow and their locally brewed house-beer Anchor Bitter which was perfectly acceptable. The staff were friendly and offerred us the chance to have a sample taste of one of the beers beforehand. We also and a reasonably priced excellently cooked roast beef dinner, a very pleasant visit and based on this experience we would certainly return. DiscerningDave - 15 Aug 2011 21:06 |
| Very deifinitive bar & lounge set up.The 'public' is naturally the lower street facing bar. A mix of the 'lower order' in the bar, (who am I to be such a patronising twat - but hey... we all see it as it is according to us ). Pool table and indigenous dog owners in the bar. Four ales on - Tribute, some Storm brew from Macclesfield and two local Wirksworth brews : Anchor Bitter & T owd Man. The T'owd Man was a nice pint but the general ambience of the place wasn't conducive to me having another. Snarling_Mallard - 25 Jun 2011 22:24 |
| Cerationly central to Wirksworth nightlife ! Very lively with a youngish crowd, but decent beer range and friendly staff mtaylor40 - 23 May 2011 21:38 |
