The Smithfield, Derby

A smallish pub with a great choice of real ale and full of characters (both sides of the bar). On my visit, I was made most welcome and all thw regulars seem to have nicknames. I heard the names Mac, Cockney, Whinge, Ticker John, Girly Steve, Parky Pete and Ambulance Dave (I didn't dare ask). This is what makes a pub!

The Ropewalk, Nottingham

I've seen worse - but far too expensive compared to some really good real ale places only a few minutes away
