The Falstaff, Derby

The Falstaff has just completed a refurbishment of their bar (the first room you go in) and all I can say is go and see for yourselves. They've put a slate tile floor down with under tile heating. A lovely carved wood fire surround with a log-burner style gas fire and have swapped the bar top from formica to wood. One of the locals was telling me the bar top was reclaimed from the old Roebuck on Stockbrook street before it was demolished. They've highlighted some of the natural features of the pub. Apparently the landlady spent a week stripping the old paint of the front of the bar to reveal a lovely old pitchpine bar. They've done a magnificent job. Needless to say the beer was as good as ever and the locals are a really friendly lot. This pub continues to be my favourite in Derby.
