Goodness me! Judging by previous reviews the old landlord may be back. Here is my carefully considered review.
If you are dying a slow and painful death from chronic starvation then you'd perhaps have this place on your list of eating places but even then it would be at the bottom. Never once was I looked in the eye while I ordered drinks. Mono syllabic answers or one word answers were the order of the day from bearded bar tender. When asked if they had a vegi option I was handed a piece of paper with 4 options on...no prices or verbal communication just handed a piece of paper!
The last straw was when asking my if there was a child's menu as he could clearly see two children in front of him and the answer (you guessed it) one word answer, "No". I ask do they get just a child's portion? Answer (shock not a single word this time but) "Only if that's possible."
We walked out without paying a penny.
Do not enter unless you are DESPERATE or love being insulted.

We 'dropped in' for a meal and a pint after the 'Race for Life' in Derby.
It's our 'local' so we know it well. The beers good and the food is excellent.
If you're looking for quantity look no further, these are big portions. Nevertheless it's very nicely cooked and presented.
This is traditional pub food, just what you'd expect from a village pub with good beers to match.

The place to go if you are in the area and want some good grub! Nice cosy atmosphere and lots of interesting local trivia on the walls.
