Was left a little disappointed by this pub. It's got a great location in the centre of the town next to the Cromford Dam and just down from Scarthin books (which itself was interesting). Inside was pleasantly warm compared with the freezing cold temperatures outside. Three real ales were on - Black Sheep Best, Ruddles County and Everards Tiger. But the fridges were fairly bare. Judging by the number of leaflets and posters asking if you wanted the opportunity to buy the pub, I guess the pubco may have put this place up for sale and they were running the stock down. Hopefully this is not the case.

We used this pub several times during the week 19th Sept--25th Sept. The landlady Elaine had only been there 7 weeks. We received a warm welcome ,the pub felt cosy and we felt at ease . The beers we had were in good condition, Black Sheep and Everards Tiger. The food was basic pub style,well cooked and plenty of it. At £4 95 very good value. We were ready to leave when the group started up,on Friday evening but were surprised we were still able to hear ourselves talking. Most of the folks there (50+)also enjoyed it too. Well done Elaine, Keep up the good work,Cromford needs a good local

Very quiet on Friday lunchtime. Seven people and no dogs. Four beers on but no sign of food. The Bakewell Best Bitter was okay but the Amber Stout was rather flat. We did go back later only to find that it closes at three o'clock.

Handy for the legendary Scarthins bookshop.

The beer is well kept, however there is a general grubbiness about the place and I would agree about the pervading smell of dog.Not sure I would want to eat here.

i was looking forward to visiting this pub, but despite its opening times being listed by the door, and arriving after opening time, it was still not open.
