Another GBG entry. This one is more of a locals pub. Good, but unusual music (warm leatherette) greeted my arrival. I left to the Skids Into the Valley.
Traditional feel to the pub with plenty of Derby City Football Nick Nacks around the place.
Good beer - I had a breakfast at Tiffanys - but after a long day, failed to record the brewery!

Supposedly a Marstons pub, but far removed from their typical offering. A long low stone-built building, looking a bit incongruous in a brick terrace. Inside there are two bars at two levels, the front one at road level, and the other side behind lower down. Lots of photos etc on the wall relating to old Derby – and particularly Derby County FC.
There were 7 beers available on handpump, mostly from small local breweries, but also Marstons Pedigree. There was also a handwritten notice saying you could have Bass from the jug (it wasn’t available on draught). I tried the Hartshorn Revolution, which was very nice.
I cant remember anything about food, but did notice they were advertising live music every weekend.
Main drawback was the lack of other people ! I was the only person in the front bar, though there were a couple of others in the back.
7/10 – I’ll be back – hopefully when a few more customers are present !

I used this pub 7 days each week because they were selling oakham bishops farewell, Due to a faulty batch they stop selling it, I drink elsewhere now

The Marstons sign on the outside didn't fill us with optimism. But once inside, you realise that this is far more than just a basic Marstons pub. Pedigree was the only Marstons beer. Others were an excellent range of guests - Hartshorns Ignite & Shakademus, Whim Hartington IPA, Burton Bridge Top Dog Stout, Ossett Citra & Fernandes Challenger. Cider was Westons Single Orchard. Service was with a smile and the locals were friendly too. Plenty to like about this pub. If only all Marstons pubs were like this.

Visited for a swift one on the way back to our hotel. Found the landlord quiet but amiable enough when he served. A Marstons pub which serves various guests which when I popped included offerings from Whim and Oakham and the Phoenix St George's Flag which was nice but unexceptional. Worth a look.

Visitor to derby thought nice looking pub entered with my wife, we were only 2 customers in. Stayed for 2 pints of top notch pedigree landlord very unfriendly, staff arriving one at a time also very unfriendly. Wonder why this lovely pub with its lovely beer is empty ? Will not be coming back, shame really, what a waste. We would have spent a lot of money in there and came back for next day

nothing to shout about ,very miserble landlord and staff
|
Yet another Deby classic, with a slightly less "Beer-exhibition" style and all the better for it. Excellent Pedi, great pub architecture and a chatty landlord.

Nice clean little boozer with good selection of real ales since new licensee took over.
Cosy, warm and inviting. Look out for the summer booze blues and barbeque nights.
Also great pork pies

The Peacock has recently reopened following refurbishment. Seems to be all the rage with Derby CAMRA at the moment. I visited one evening in the week to try it out. It seemed OK, not amazing, there are better pubs in Derby. Boasts about a warm welcome but the guy on the bar seemed rather miserable to me. Beer was alright though.

Yes it's Marston's but the pint of Oyster Stout was so so divine i actually ordered another!!The pub itself had a lovely gem of an interior,a friendly barmaid and a reasonable priced jukebox, would definately reccommend if passing, 8/10

Pedi or Pedi. OK place but far from great.
|
A nice looking Marston's house on the old Nottingham Road. Worth a visit.
