The Crown, Crown Square

One of the best 'spoons' around, a little gem with staff who really care, very clean and the usual great value food and drinks, can get pretty busy at times.

Fox & Crown, Skegby

A two for one pub which is good value food if you get the right cook on the day,the beer prices are reasonable but don't expect a full pint and although there's a notice to ask for a top up it's considered an offence by some of the staff, be prepared to rub shoulders with contractors at tea times and also endure the foul mouthed banter.Mixture of clientele, popular with families.Good location for a pub, adequate smoking area,large car park.

The Coach & Horses, Ashbourne

I have visited this pub before and can agree with the previous reviews, however it has now changed owners again (seems quite frequent) and I have to say it's not for the better.After the shock of paying �3 for a pint of guinness and �2.90 for john smiths it was a hassle to get anyone to admit the bitter was not on form and smelled / tasted like cider. Overall the pub is the same layout
as the previous owner had modernised it, by moving the toilets around which made an improvement for access.I did'nt see anywhere I would have liked to dine so I did'nt, the outdoor smoking area is good and dry.
