The White Hart, Duffield

This is now a restaurant and not a pub. Don't bother visiting just for a drink as you will not be welcomed. Once the restaurant serving times have passed, you will find yourself surrounded by people cleaning up, sweeping, etc. At 11:00 on the dot (you can set your watch by it) the bell will be rung, followed a couple of minutes later by the music being turned off.
I cannot comment on the quality or otherwise of the food but certainly don't plan to visit again just for a drink. A pity as it could be really nice - I expect the profits from food dwarf those from just drinkers.

The Cottage Inn, Kenilworth

Visited on a Saturday evening and found the pub fairly empty and dominated by TVs showing X Factor. If I wanted to watch the TV, I'd have stayed at home so this was a major drawback.
Pint of bitter was average and well priced.
