sage Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 That sageisback youth knows all the boozers. Theres a nice pub at ashover.......the crispin inn I'm not keen on the dead poets, and its yonks since i went to the holly bush. Why thank you. The Old Poets at Ashover is very, very good. Lambchop did a pretty good job to be honest. I would add the Victoria at Matlock Bath, Bell Inn at Smalley, King William at Milford and the White Horse at Woolley Moor.

The Fish Pond at Matlock Bath has been done up recently and they have a selection of real ales now. They are also hosting MAD Beer Festival in August. There will be a hog roast and 50 different beers. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 The Poet's Corner has also won cider pub of the year, beating the Square and Compass at Worth Matravers in Dorset, which is my favourite pub anywhere. A good pub walk I did recently is to start in Sheldon, go to the Bull at Monyash, then down Deep Dale and Monsall Dale to the Stables, call in at the Packhorse in Longstone, then back up to the W*nkers (Cock and Pullet).

McRainy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I would add the Victoria at Matlock Bath. Struggling a bit since Kim from the Poet's gave it up, unfortunately. Excellent beers and pizzas in the Fishpond now, and the music is picking up again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far is that it must take a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 How far is that it must take a few hours. Think it's about 9 or 10 miles altogether, but nicely broken up by pub stops, and a good variety of scenery. Probably averaged about about 1 mile an hour when we did it at half term.

Boycie Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Amber Valley pub of the year, Black Bulls Head is just up the road from me. Outside Bedlam Bar in the courtyard also, so probably 12 real ales and 6 ciders? On a bus route too. 71, 6x, and a short 5 mins walk from the 6.3 to Ripley.

I was reading about this pub in one of them free booklets you get about real ale pubs. The Bedlam Bar sounds great. Apparently it was the area where they slaughtered animals. Do they serve the beer straight from the barrel in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally 2 ciders or perry. Plus the good selection inside, and he keeps his ale in tip top condition. I've been down the cellar too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It's quite nice walking between the Spotted Cow, Poets, Wheel, Holly Bush and King William. Not a great distance but just enough on a hot day to be ready for the next pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 http://www.troway.co.uk/welcome.html Big fan, great food and plenty of Thornbridge on. It says Sheffield but the village of Troway is in NE Derbys. Views are stunning too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I don't really tend to go in pubs unless it's before football (more often drinking at home.. less sociable but a good selection and less cost) but when I do go in pubs before football it is a combination of The Exeter Arms and Brunswick. Country pubs I know very little about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Walked from Belper to Makeney along the river and back again along the heritage trail and went to the Milford Social Club, very 1970's but good, cheap ale and then the Holly Bush, which is even better than ever.

Ramble On Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I hear good things about the Staff Of Life. My favourites are Nags Head in Mickleover; Red Lion in Repton; Unicorn in Newton and The Dog and Partridge at Tutbury Nags is ****, Vine all the way!

Ramble On Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I hear the Vine is good but a bit protective of its locals and doesnt like outsiders! You must mean the Masons thats where the real clicky locals go, Vines my local 2 min walk always see different people there. Proper pub and nice staff better than the rude ********* over the road!
