Had a amazing and very tasty beef stew in a giant Yorkshire pudding. The flavour and softness of the meat was fantastic. Would definitely come and have a meal again.
Great pub to relax in and friendly staff . �
Highly recommend this pub for its friendly atmosphere very helpful bar staff superb choices of ales and excellent food deserves top marks and would definitely visit again and again.
Been here a few times and enjoy this smashing pub. Just outside Derby city, but easy walking distance and on many bus routes. Beer great, had a lovely pint of Bass today. When I’ve eaten here in the past the food has been good too. Staff friendly and polite. Car park at rear and an outdoor seating area. Well recommended 😀
Been meaning to visit for months, unfortunately on the previous attempt we found it shut.... turns out that the previous landlord had moved on.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, Brown Ales Pub Company has took over and massively invested in the place.
Judging by previous pictures the changes have been hugely beneficial, it's got a similar feel to a London pub (without the London prices) modern but warm and inviting, the garden has also had a massive revamp, it's got two sections, an undercover non smoking side and an enlarged open air side that's fully surrounded by glass.....it's also one of the hottest places I've ever been in the summer...and I've been to Egypt and Morocco!
The beer range seems to have also improved, they still have a few lagers on alongside a couple of traditional cask ales; however, there's now an excellent range of craft beer from the likes of Pentrich, Black Iris, Shiny, Polly's, Deya etc alongside modern cask from Two by Two, Pentrich, Bang the Elephant, Full Circle etc.
Full meals have gone, replaced by quality snacks such as Scotch Eggs, pork pie, cheese boards, olives etc, in my opinion it's definitely the way forward.
They've recently (May 2023) started limited tap takeovers/beer festivals with external food trucks in the garden.
The GM and staff seem to understand current drinking preferences, what makes a beer and a decent pub... which is awesome.
Alongside the Furnace and Flowerpot this side of Derby is absolutely worth visiting.
Simply a great friendly pub, large selection of beers and good quality pub food. In an area with very good real ale pubs nearby, this one holds its own quite comfortably. Recently refurbished and with a change of management the 'Lamps' is a worthy destination. Enjoy. M
Lovely little pub that's become our now local. Love the music, atmosphere, pork pies and most importantly drinks! Would recommend to anyone!
Called in for a drink but no food. Good selection of well kept cask and craft ales. It was a warm evening so sat in the conservatory at the rear so difficult to judge the atmosphere inside. Will definitely call again.
Love this local pub. Great staff
Management are doing a brilliant job with the place. Love the street food at the weekend. It has a great beer garden
What a great refreshing pint!
What a choice of beers!
You can see this place is well looked after, there is no smell of stale beer, tables clean and polished, walls and lamp fittings dust free.
I could use the toilet here but, more importantly, ANYONE THAT PAYS SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PLACE, MUST BE LOOKING AFTER THE CELLAR AS A CONNOISSEUR OF GOOD BEER.
I wished I lived close to this pub.
I had the BBQ Pulled Pork Loaded Chips (£6.50). Food was generously portioned and tasted great.
Our cycling club was there for lunch and there was plenty of space to park our bikes along with spacious outdoor seating. Service was excellent and our food arrived in good time.
What can I say I travel alot around pubs. And this is my favourite 😍. Best charcoal pork pie in Derbyshire great porters and the toilet is nice. Out beer garden all new is great. Love it.
Great pub on the outskirts of Derby.
A big selection of well kept ales including Bass and loads of craft stuff!
