| Beer usually good but disappointed this week by small and unimaginative food portions. histman - 27 Jun 2008 19:14 |
| Very characterful pub. Quite touristy for such a non-touristy place. Well kept beer (I forget which) and fine, filling food. Well worth visiting. JonW999 - 10 Jun 2008 22:37 |
| Not much more to add to other comments - age oozing out of every pore here, managed to get into the snug for the first time ever on this trip. Excellent range of ales, although not the best in the city as some here would have it. Always worth your time to wander in here for a quiet pint or enjoy the packed later evenings most nights of the week. Gristy - 13 May 2008 00:45 |
| All the signage points to this being the oldest pub in Derby dating back to 1530 and the cobbled corridors and low wooden doorways back up the claim. It’s a nice looking pub with some decent beers and a cheap menu. It does come across as a bit touristy though, with the eating area being named the “1530 AD Restaurant” and various advertisements for ghost walks and the like. There was also a notice about a spiritual medium appearing every Wednesday, I was there on a Wednesday and the next event was advertised as two weeks later, unforeseen circumstances maybe!! It’s definitely worth visiting though as it oozes history. The serious “beer tourist” will also visit the Old Silk Mill across the road and the nearby Flowerpot. Millay - 27 May 2007 16:54 |
| i agree with all comments but no children allowed in this day and age is a bit of a drawback. b4 any of you post comments about kids running amok disturbing your quiet my daughter has never done that and is well behaved. also as an ex landlord i know that beer drinkers on ave spend about £7:50 families spend on ave £35 so makes good business sense and might enable some of these small special pubs going pissedagain - 12 Apr 2007 08:01 |
