The Half Moon, Whitwell Common

The staff in this pub are great most of them know my wife and I by sight and we always feel very welcome. My wife and I usually stick to the same "microwave" food from here but under �10 for a meal and a drink is reasonable in my opinion.

It has recently changed to a 2 for �10, the menu is far worse (which is impressive as the old menu was pretty terrible already) and the choice is far less. Same old food and more expensive, I'll go when I see the good ole 2for1 sign up again.

The Rose and Crown, Barlborough

This pub is now owned by the same guy who owns the Royal Oak and is reopening soon.

I'll prospone my judgement until then!

Apollo Inn, Barlborough

This pub is very hostile thanks to the people who frequent it, the landlord is very pleasant and welcoming but the customers are not. Avoid this one if you're after a quiet drink.

Treble Bob, Barlborough

To be perfectly honest the only good thing about this pub is the decor. Yet another uninspiring Cavery pub in Barlborough, we now have 3 leaving one with the option of the Royal Oak or 10 miles drive for a nice meal.

I used to be a regular customer in the Treble Bob until it changed hands. Now, after 5 attempts, I will never go in again or until I am at least told that they have got their act together. The service is very SLOW on 5 occasions now I have gone in with family and friends and been left waiting for staff to serve us drinks, allocate us a table or greet us. Very disappointing and as the most expensive pub in Barlborough a real let down.

If you want a Carvery go up the road and get the same thing for half the price.
