Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the drink selection, especially well kept real ales and a good range of beers, served by bar staff described as friendly, welcoming and helpful. Close behind is the room itself, called modern and clean, with televisions on three walls for the sport and a decked area for sitting out. Drinks and the food menu are described as reasonably priced, and one reviewer says the food has become pretty good. A few mention occasional live music, Saturday entertainment and a mixed age range among the locals. One reviewer found the car park hard to locate. The one sharply negative account describes young bar staff unfamiliar with drinks and prices, an older staff member who responded rudely, and a refusal to top up a purchased ale. That reviewer also reports feeling they were treated differently because of their skin colour. Another reviewer stopped in after a three mile walk around Chellaston for a couple of Dancing Duck beers.

“Don't be tricked by some of these reviews, majority seem rather vaguley genuine, my impression when popped down earlier took walk to the area, young bar staff, had no interaction, or skills to be behind bar, no knowedlge of types of drinks or prices, plus had to repeat myself to the senior older bar staff, which rudley responded with intention unwillingly to help, then as i have worked in bars in past they were not willing to top up the Ale that i Purchased, then rudley started laughing with other ill mannered customer at the bar standing, it hasn't settled yet, clearly me and my friend were too DARK for the place, as it seems to be rather a prejudist type of a place, some faces NOT welcome, personally will never recommend or bother ging back again, sham on these members of staff Nothing else to say , but they have lots of work to do, sorry”
