Station Inn, Derby

Superb pub, has been for years. Very experienced and friendly landlord - never any trouble owing to his keen involvement in Pubwatch. Beers second to none. Best Deuchars I have ever had anywhere. Very clean, well presented premises and also has very nice function room. Toilets impeccable :o)

Ye Olde Spa Inne, Derby

Now under new management. The current Landlord has had two previous well renowned pubs in Derby, majorly investing in one as a private venture.

Weekly triva quiz on Tuesdays, great function room, seating out front and back. Lovely traditional pub with generally two real ales and a creamflow.

The Dyffryn Arms, Pontfaen

Fantastic place. Known locally as "Bessie's", as in the Landlady who bless her is in her 80s and running this jewel of a pub.

Bessie told us that other than a lick of paint, this hostelry has not been changed for over 50 years. She does not want music or television at the pub, pubs are for social interaction and beer! I agree!

Perfect Bass poured from the jug, no pumps. I only which I didn't live 270 miles from this little piece of real life history - the nearest you will ever get to going back in time.
