user reviews of the Blue Peter, Alvaston

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

The Blue Peter is one of three almost identical Art-Deco style pubs built on the outskirts Derby in the mid 1930’s by the long forgotten local brewers, Offilers.

Now trading under the M&B “Pub & Carvery” brand, the accent is definitely on the carvery element, which is basically a cheap and cheerful, but downmarket version of the Toby carvery, but at only £3.50 per head Monday to Saturday and a fiver on Sundays, it is even better value. No complaints about the food or the staff, but as a pub, forget it, unless you happen to have an addiction to nitro keg brands. Sadly there isn’t any real ale in sight.

In summary, food OK and good vfm, but the beer is crap. 6/10.

What a transformation! From backstreet boozer to a family dining experience! Gone are the TV's, the pool table and the lager louts. In are relaxed surroundings, great value food and a nice place to be.
The carvery is wonderful value at £2.99 - £3.99 during the week and the staff friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a look!
