This beautiful old-worldly village pub was built in 1800 and was initially called the Cross Keys. Now owned by Everards Brewery and leased by the Brunswick Brewery based in Derby, with discounted ales from both breweries featuring regularly on the bar. Prides itself on being one of the top cider pubs in the area with up to two dozen available. A main stone flagged bar area with low ceilings, high backed pews and a large open fire is flanked by a cosy snug. A newer airy conservatory extension sits at the back, which leads to an outside garden drinking area. Holds two annual beer & cider festivals and was named as Amber Valley Camra Pub of the Year runner-up 2020.
Restoration
This pub was built in 1800 and a superb restoration in 1998 turned an ordinary carpeted pub into a beautiful, old-world inn of character with several rooms or drinking areas. Around the servery are the right hand bar, left hand bar and at front a tiny alcove with service from what is not much larger than a hatch. These areas have original stone walls and flagstone floors from an old mill. On the right is the main bar area, that is flagstone-floored with low ceilings, four high-backed settles forming two bays and a large stone fireplace, flanked by a cosy snug with a diamond black and red quarry-tiled floor, scrubbed tables, two settles which have lift-up cupboard seats and a wood-burning stove. The overall effect is homely and cosy. At the rear is a conservatory. The pub serves real ales and ciders and provides lunches.
This Pub serves 5 changing beers and 3 regular beers.
