| Under Dancing Duck, this has fast become one of the very best pubs in Derby, no mean feat in the beer capital of Britain. Their own beers are never less than superb, especially the Dark Drake and their various guests are excellent as well. The food is very good indeed, some unusual dishes and a fair veggie selection. The sister pub to the New Zealand, both run superbly by very very good staff. Brilliant. Gristy - 4 May 2012 19:20 |
| A flying visit to this one, though I wish I'd have been able to spend longer. the best beer here from any of the Derby breweries I tried with the Dark Drake being an absolutely excellent beer. Alas no time to try the others (three on offer plus a guest from Titanic). ahscum - 17 Apr 2012 19:02 |
| If you haven't visited the Exeter in the last few months you're in for a surprise. Dancing Duck brewery of Derby now run this pub and keep the bar well stocked with their locally brewed gems of beers. In my opinion the gold medal winning Dark Drake has to be one of the very best dark ales I've ever had. I can also say that I've never had a single beer that is less than excellent quality in here. Staff and locals are a friendly bunch. A shining example of what all traditional British pubs should be! jarofporter - 9 Feb 2012 10:06 |
| I am generally a traditionalist where pubs are concerned, Australian bars or white-walled, minimalist wine bars are an anathema to me, so whenever I visit Derby I seek out places like the wonderful Exeter Arms. I admit it's not somewhere one might go to pick up young ladies nor are there giant screens showing Manchester United and loud throbbing music. In contrast, this is a lovely old-fashioned city pub with a myriad of small nooks and crannies, it is welcoming and comfortable like a favourite pair of slippers, people in here will happily chat to you and when you have to go for a comfort break the loos are spotlessly clean. The beers, from the Dancing Duck brewery, are immaculately kept and one pint is never enough. I just can't sing this place's praises too highly. If all of this sounds like your sort of pub then I urge you to seek it out. You won't regret it. doctorpint - 8 Feb 2012 17:47 |
| Dancing Duck Dark Drake sampled here, only the fact I had to get a specific train back to London prevented me from staying longer. TiaMariaJim - 15 Dec 2011 20:44 |
