| Another successful venture by Derby Brewing Company. They seem to like their "new stuff in an old building" theme, and so do I. Like the Royal Standard and Greyhound the beer is always good quality and there is a decent range, prices may be a little above average. Most of the staff seem to be pretty good at what they do. jarofporter - 15 May 2012 16:23 |
| A rousing "bravo" for the Derby Brewing Company. Another dreary and outdated pub has been given a new lease of life and the Queen's is an impressive addition to this thriving stable. The DBC has a tried and trusted formula, first tried at the Brunswick and then polished at the Brewery Tap and the Greyhound, and they have stuck to it with excellent results. Some may carp about the degree of emphasis on food but this is still a haven for the drinker who values quality and variety. With the Hollybush and the Dead Poet's in close proximity, this enclave north of Derby is becoming a major attraction for that fraternity and I look forward eagerly to DBC pushing into Belper for their next venture.

| First visit yesterday. DBC have done the now expected excellent job of rejuvenating this big pub. Feels a little bit more food-orientated than the Brewery Tap and The Greyhound, but none the worse for that. The usual wide range of quality beers and the famous Rack are available. And there is a bus stop outside that makes it just 15 minutes from the centre of Derby. Very pleasant walks from here to Holbrook and Makeney, so you could make it a great day out. twohalves - 15 Jan 2012 10:11 |
| I have just had the best burger in my life! (and the chips were gorgeous too). Arriving at 7.40pm on a mid-week night, the pub was about half full with a 60/40 mix of diners and drinkers. We ordered food straight away and waited about 20-30mins, during which time, the place filled up mainly with drinkers. The burgers are succulent and tasty and the relish is to die for. The chips are chunky, well cooked and taste like from home grown potatoes and are delicious. A great selection of beers, lagers and ciders too. The staff were friendly and attentive from bar staff (offered tastes of different beers without prompting) to waiting staff who were really friendly. I can't wait to go again. misterpants - 4 Jan 2012 21:51 |
| Been looking forward to the Queens Head re-opening as the Derby Brewing Co have done a great job on their two their pubs in Derby and this one is in walking distance of our house. So it was with a great sense of anticipation we went along on a recent Friday night to try it out. Unfortunately I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Is it a pub? Is it a restaurant? Or is it, as DBC's website describes, "a new fresh Gastro Food menu". Answer .....well maybe none of the above. Undoubtedly the beer is good, with a wide range, well kept and at sensible prices (i.e. some still less than 3 pounds a pint). But it doesn't seem to be a drinkers pub as the food tables with "reserved" signs, but no occupants, were scattered around the bar and there was nowhere for us to sit. So we sat in the eating part (a.k.a. restaurant end) and ordered food at about 6.30pm and the menu was pretty standard pub grub (fish & chips, burgers and the like) at standard prices. If you want gastro-pub food try the Saracens Head at Shirley; you will get better quality food at not much higher prices. But then some friends arrived at about 7.30pm, sat next to us and tried to order food but were told they couldn't as they hadn't reserved a table and the pub was expecting a large party (about 10 people turned up). So back to the start - is it a pub, or a gastro pub or what? I won't be rushing back to find out! kmr1809 - 14 Dec 2011 18:31 |
