Three Stags Head, Darley Bridge

I visited this pub a week ago on my first trip to Derby. We arrived to find the place rather empty due to the snow but were greeted by the landlady and grateful for a warm spot in front of the fire. We ended up staying a good few hours chatting away to the landlady and enjoyed the friendly, laid back atmosphere. Drinks are reasonably priced, there is a pool table, darts, some games to play and plenty of space so you are not cramped. There was no food served whilst we were there due to a supply issue.

My personal opinion would be that if you are looking for an upmarket gastro pub then this is not for you. But for a friendly local that allows dogs, with a few decent beers on tap, where you can sit comfortably then I'd definitely say give it a try. And I much preferred it to the square and compass a few yards down the road!
