| Pleasant enough pub, friendly staff and nice beer garden. Everards Tiger was in good nick when we visited! ng10 - 11 Aug 2011 09:48 |
| My wife and I stayed in a B&B in Cromford celebrating our Wedding Anniversary in October 2009. We visited all the local establishments, the Boat included. The Boat was a friendly, clean and very welcoming pub with lots of locals enjoying the entertainment. The Hostess was very accomodating, and we returned every evening of our stay. We even had a game of Pool. We returned in October 2010, to find a change in Management. Unfortunately, although the pub had had a lick of paint, the atmosphere had gone, the Johns Smiths was off, and the Manager was not impressed when we told him of this, denying the fact. The locals were nowhere to be seen, and this for us set the alarm bells ringing. On further investigation, we found out that the same people ran the Boat as had the Greyhound - which also lacked local residents. We made our way to The Bell Inn in Cromford, which was warm, welcoming and bustling with local folks ... we enjoyed meeting up again with friends we'd made the year before and had a swell time. A pub is a pub, but good beer is important, and this little diamond deserves better behind the bar than it has at the moment. The right management would bring this little diamond back to life, it had sunk when last we visited. Such a shame. derbyshiredancer - 10 Feb 2011 19:57 |
| A great traditional pub. Enjoyed a nice drop of Black Sheep and a plate of beef stew - perfect on a cold day. Very busy on a Saturday lunchtime, including a band of Morris Dancers who seemd to be having a stiffener before the fray! retirementfun09 - 27 Oct 2010 12:29 |
| Recently re-opened, perfect old fashioned pub. Lovely great value food, good range of real ales (4) and very friendly and inviting hosts. Just taken a party of 8 for food and we had a great time and were well lookd after. Highly recommended. mayfly - 21 Aug 2010 16:28 |
| Visted yesterday, after a 6-mile walk around the Cromford area. Pub was empty bar us and one other couple - why?! It was clean and attractive indoors, several specials boards, offering a nice selection of food. A lovely beer garden - in fact several different beer gardens! Service was good, on offer was Batemans XXXB, Abbot, and (I think) a Theakstons. We had the Batemans and it was nice beer. Sat out in the sun in garden, a pint had gone before I'd even got settled. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Reaction from work colleagues after hearing we'd been, "What, you went there?! It's terrible!". "No, it wasn't!" So it must have changed hands (as alluded to in the previous review). Well worth a visit if you're in Cromford, a nice little pub, tucked away up a quiet side street. bluebootycat - 28 Jun 2010 20:45 |
