sage Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Having gone in the Exeter Arms for the first time on Saturday, it comes flying in as my favourite pub in Derby. My favourite three are now 1. Exeter Arms. 2. Brunswick 3. Brewery Tap (ex Royal Standard). My favourites in Derbyshire are 1. Barley Mow at Kirk Ireton. 2. Holly Bush at Makeney 3. Three Stags Head at Wardlow Mires.

Dolphin Witherspoons, (some cheap real ales) Flower pot Need to try the Smithfield, the dancing duck place (exeter) 7 stars(5 lamps) Used to go in the waterfall match days, then they stopped the hot pork or beef cobs, with stuffing, so the expensive beer, and sky couldn't alone tempt us back.

PrivateDerby Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bentley Brook Inn in Fenny Bentley can be brilliant on a scorching day and there's a good campsite up the road. Scored a hat trick in a children's game of football that got out of hand there once, turned around and all my lot had gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
