Quick info
About The Tavern
The Tavern is a pub in Belper on Derby Rd, where the food menu changes theme every month and runs Indian and English dishes, curry among them. A mixed grill also appears on the food menu. The bar pours Pedigree alongside other regular pints and a rotating guest ale. Large screens on the walls carry sports through Sky TV, though they are not on all the time, and music plays in the pub as well. Pool and darts give customers games to play, while karaoke, quiz nights and live events fill out the schedule. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the beer, praising a pint of Pedigree, Bass, Guinness or Directors Bolt Maker, and one calls the selection of beers and ales great. Close behind is the food, where the mixed grill is described as excellent and good value. Others mention Indian and English dishes, a curry, white bait and a burger for the kids, and a menu that changes theme monthly. The atmosphere comes across as friendly and welcoming, with a chatty owner, great bar staff, friendly locals and a clean, cosy bar. A few single out the beer garden as a sun trap and the smoking area, and one mentions new decking out back. One reviewer likes that the large sports screens are not on all the time, since that gets people talking. The one gripe is food served on slates, where the sauce and peas roll off. A recent review notes new owners and possible food in future. Another visitor popped in for a quick pint of Bass and found good service and friendly locals.

“Called in for a beer with my wife after completing the 4 mile Belper Meadows and River Derwent Circular walk. Clean and very welcoming pub and owner is chatty and very accommodating. The owner also operates a airport taxi business and holiday runs for those who want to get away on holiday without the hassle of driving.”

“I'm a lorry driver and I've parked near by and looked on Google maps where to eat.............I found this little gem 💎 amazing food, the food was 10/10 in my opinion. Guinness went down a treat also. Well worth a visit if you're passing. Nice and friendly staff and locals.”

“Lovely clean cosy pub, great customer service. Food was brilliant adults had mixed grills and the kids had white bate and a burger that I would have been happy being served, and all at a good price. One minor gripe pleas don't serve food on slates the sauce and peas roll off. Will definitely be back for a curry.”
