| This is now a restaurant and not a pub. Don't bother visiting just for a drink as you will not be welcomed. Once the restaurant serving times have passed, you will find yourself surrounded by people cleaning up, sweeping, etc. At 11:00 on the dot (you can set your watch by it) the bell will be rung, followed a couple of minutes later by the music being turned off. I cannot comment on the quality or otherwise of the food but certainly don't plan to visit again just for a drink. A pity as it could be really nice - I expect the profits from food dwarf those from just drinkers. albert_bear - 15 May 2012 15:52 |
| Posh, nice. Excellent food though pricey. Have decent beers. Duffield's lovelies can be witnessed here... chickenrun - 22 Dec 2011 14:43 |
| Visited 29/6/10, 7pm. Overpriced gastropub. £2.90 for a pint of the house beer from Derby Brew Co. It was cloudy and tasted like it was near the end of the barrel so I took it back and changed it for Landlord, which was acceptable though not brilliant. Worth a look but a better beer range in the Kings Head. Chief_IDIOT - 30 Jun 2010 13:39 |
| In my opinion Duffield's best pub, even though one of the others (Pattern Makers) is Good Beer Guide listed. Ales on offer were Pedi, Bass, Landlord and Derby Brewing Company's White Hart Pale (you guessed it - brewed just for the pub). I obviously went for the latter which was of very high quality, so they must have someone who knows what they're doing with ales. They should probably think about swapping one of the big brands for another local brew. The pub itself has been heavily modernised but there are some old features remaining, eg the terracotta tiled floor and the wooden beams (presumably artificial but nice nonetheless). My only negative comment is the fact service was a bit slow, I was standing at a bar with no staff behind it for about three minutes. Didn't try the food or look at the menu but I'd happily go there for a meal sometime. jarofporter - 8 Mar 2010 17:07 |
| Very disappointing, especially given an enjoyable visit a year or so ago. First problem was the lack of staff - a large recently-vacated adjacent table remained uncleared for a large part of our time there, for instance. Food was ambitiously priced and failed to deliver. The Sunday roast consisted of grey lamb, powdered gravy, soggy yorkshire puddings and, worst of all, potatos and parsnips that appeared to have been cooked in a deep fat frier. The starter wasn't much better. The prawns in the prawn, potato and chorizo salad were tiny and tasteless to the extent of being pointless. The greenery of the salad was a tuft of undressed rocket placed on top. I know this is a pub, and I would have no complaint if the food was, say, half its current price. But when a pub has the guts to charge £5+ for a starter and £10-15 for a main course it really needs to provide restaurant quality food. Because that's what you're paying for. As it is, it just smacks of yet another place trying it's luck by masquerading as a gastropub. Yossarian1 - 1 Sep 2009 14:06 |
