| The first thing to note is the correct name of this place is PATTENMAKERS ARMS. Largish brick built building in a back street of a mainly stone-housed village. Easy enough to find once you know where it is. The first impression when you walk in is of a lot of empty space – that’s because you are near the darts board, and are in danger of getting hit ! There is a central bar around which everyone seems to congregate, so I took my seat there. There were a few tables around the edges of the room, and I believe there were another couple of smaller rooms off the end. [ Actually the whole place looked smaller from the inside ] There were 6 real ales available, Bass, Doom Bar, Pedigree and 3 guests. I had the Hook Norton Hop To It (an easter golden ale) which was nice enough without setting the world alight. Football was being shown, but unobtrusively on a smallish TV. I suspect that’s because it was Derby County, and the sound would be turned up once the match actually started. I suspect that was also the reason for the free bar-snacks (tortilla chips, pork pies) that were on the bar. I believe they do larger food at lunchtimes, and I may well eat there next time. There was also a “meat raffle” in progress – which my cousin & I regard as a sure sign of a BAD pub, which this definitely isn’t. The landlady did look very sheepish though when it turned out she’d won it ! Almost forgot to say the clientele are very friendly. 8/10 – definitely adding this to my list of list of watering holes !

| Excellent pub, best for miles. Enter a stranger, leave a friend. Have also found out that it's the sister pub to the Smithfield in Derby as well. ramdrinker1 - 3 Oct 2013 12:20 |
