| I think the Flowerpot has had a welcome lick of paint and something of a refurb since my last visit. A quiet atmosphere during the post New Year/Xmas slum won't give the true picture of what is regularly found here, however the ale was on form (we all enjoyed the light hoppy Jarl) and there was a feeling of convivial relaxation. Generally very pleasant and looking forward to revisting. ILooklikeme - 3 Jan 2012 11:21 |
| A decent pub with a good range on, Abbeydale Chocs Away being my choice and it was in good form. Quite a bit pub, so on a quiet day easy to find somewhere to sit yourself away. There is a rack of casks in the side room that is apparently brought into use at busy times and there is a music venue at the side/rear. Well worth a visit. PhilR - 15 Dec 2011 18:25 |
| A good pub that could be better. Went in at 7pm on a saturday night and in the front bar only five of the 7/8/9ish (not sure - I didn't count) handpumps were on. Now in my local they make damned sure that all of the handpumps (15 of them too!) are on - especially on a saturday night to give customers maximum choice. By 8pm there were only three pumps and we left and went elsewhere for some choice. That said, the real cider that my wife had was good though and I thoroughly enjoyed my three pints - a porter whose name escapes me now and two Thornbridge Kipling pale ales. One complaint that my wife had was that were far too many lechy old men around the bar offering advice about beer/cider because she was a woman - she's from the south-west and knows more than enough about apple-based alcoholic drinks I can assure you. Her advice to any of those guys who might look on here is as follows: keep your f**king noses out and look into a woman's eyes when you talk to her and not at her chest. Anyway, will check in again the next time we're in town. littledrummerboy - 17 Feb 2011 16:02 |
| Good real ale pub with as good a selection as you'll find anywhere in Derby, although some of the prices can be a bit steep. They also serve very good food (try the sandwich platters) and play host to some very good bands most evenings. What more do you want? MOGWIE - 26 Dec 2010 11:16 |
| When in Derby I always make time for a beer or two at this marvellous , slightly out of town pub. The interior is clean and spacious and the bar is crammed with handpumps serving mostly small, local breweries products, The beer produced in-house is simply gorgeous; it would be hard to find better even in somewhere so endowed with boozers as Derby. I recommend the Headless KSA. Light and golden with a wonderful hoppy flavour, love at first swig! The staff are both courteous and friendly and I really cannot recommend the place highly enough. However,if you find it not to your liking, you can always pop down the road to the Australian bar for some tasteless fizz. doctorpint - 10 Jul 2010 16:24 |
