| Great real pub with great staff serving top real ale. A joy 47458sf - 21 May 2009 16:07 |
| A very busy pub on a Derby County match day. We arrived just before midday and were fortunate to find a table. Having settled down we had a couple of relaxing beers before having to join the the scrum at the bar. The staff were brilliantly efficient and we were served quickly each time. Nice filled rolls topped off a splendid pre-match session. We only drank the Brunswick ales which provided plenty of variety. I thought the list of guest ales was uninspiring but each to their own.

| Splendid free house at the end of a red-brick terrace close to the station. The guide books - and a very informative pub website - tells us that this terrace was built in 1842 as part of the community village for workers of the North Midland Railway. The Brunswick Inn lays claim to being the first ever railwaymans pub. It was saved from demolition in the 1980's, reopening in 1988 after a spell of closure. Nowadays it's a fine traditional multi-roomed pub, with wood-pannelling and flagstoned floors and restored in keeping with the character of the original building. It's much larger inside than it looks from outside and with its own self-contained brewery. The pub sign outside refers to "A True Ale House and Brewery" which strikes me as a very good summing up of this not to be missed gem. It's owned by Everards, but sells beers brewed on site and a number of guests. The Brunswick White Feather Ale was a nice light session ale and, at only £ 1.70p, noticeably cheap. Being behind schedule, and with a train to catch, I was unable to stay as long as I wished, but I shall return. In conclusion, it's one of the best known real ale pubs in the country and should be on everyone's itinerary for a visit at some stage JohnBonser - 9 Apr 2009 10:46 |
| Could not fault the beer or the service. Their own brewed beer was spot on at very reasonable prices. A highly recommended comfortable and traditional pub. Managed four visits during a two day stay and only had one beer twice, the choice was so extensive and impressive. dagenhamdave - 29 Mar 2009 19:40 |
| Best pub in Derby by far. Nice multi roomed pub with a flagstone floor. Most of the ales are brewed on the premises (you can have a glance at the brewery through a window) and are kept in perfect condition, as you would expect. If you come to Derby on the train for a pub crawl, make sure this is the first place you visit when you arrive, and the last place you visit before you leave. jarofporter - 27 Mar 2009 19:37 |
