user reviews of the Courthouse, Derby
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
It has recently been refurbished and re-branded under its old name … The White Horse … and seems to be making a brave attempt to re-establish itself as one of Derby’s leading pubs, as it was in the 60’s when the formidable Alice Baker and her manager Charles ran the business. Since then it has gone progressively downhill. Renaming it the Courthouse some year ago was a BIG mistake as it seemed to attract the dross celebrating that they had somehow escaped prison sentences handed down by the High Court opposite. The current management seem to be boldly trying to reverse that image. There is now a dining area and a daily carvery. They have an uphill struggle particularly as the Castle & Falcon nearby is probably the worst pub in the country. I agree with goalman2000, the availability of Pedigree has been very inconsistent, but it was on today and in reasonable condition and served by a friendly and efficient barman who seemed to be a refugee from Eastenders. There is still a long way to go, but I hope that a 6/10 rating will be an encouragement. steve2905 - 26 Oct 2010 03:49 |
| Infrequently has a Pedigree on but usually the three empty hand pulls are covered up. Full of nitro keg, tasteless lager. Modernised from the White Horse days but not particularly friendly and has a very loud juke box during most hours of the day. goalman2000 - 30 Nov 2009 20:56 |
