user reviews of Half Moon Inn, Derby
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| First of all please note that this place is in LITTLEOVER, not Derby – a good two miles from the city centre. [ No wonder there is a lack of reports ! ] Recently went in this place for the first time in about 35 years (my grandmother used to live just down the road), only to find that the clientele were discussing what the pub used to be like all those years ago ! Anyway, what it looks like now is pretty tidy. Unlike some pubs it hasn’t been converted into open plan, so it feels smaller and more intimate than it actually is. The bar is on the right as you enter, with a small drinking area in front of it, with a large selection of chairs and tables in another room to the left. There is also a “lounge” at the rear, but I didn’t venture that far. Both rooms at the front have large screen sports TVs. As far as the beer goes, there were 4 or 5 handpumps available. Since one of them was Brains Rev James, that is what I went for, and very nice it was too. The other beers I can remember were Bass and Robinsons Trooper. You certainly wouldn’t have had a Brains beer in here 35 years ago ! Food is available, but I was saving myself for the White Swan (q.v.). In fact it was the menu which enlightened me as to the ultimate ownership of this pub (Stonegate). It was EXACTLY the same as one of their pubs in Wolverhampton. 6/10 – a good solid locals pub Martinsh - 19 Feb 2017 22:40 |
