Quick info
About The Woodlark
The Woodlark is a pub at 76-80 Bridge St in Derby that runs a bus to all Derby County home games, giving supporters a way to get to every match. Sport is shown on two TVs, so it works as a sports bar as well as a back street local. Three ales are on the bar, including Bass and a Welsh beer, Rev James Gold. The kitchen serves a Sunday roast with roast beef and trimmings, and the menu also lists filled rolls, puddings and cheesecake. A free jukebox plays a range of music.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast is what reviewers return to most, with beef and trimmings described as a proper home made roast and several calling the food good quality and cheap. One regular says the Sunday lunch can't be beaten for quality and price, and another was fitted in despite the pub being booked up, then had a cheesecake packed up to take home. Close behind is the staff, called friendly, helpful and warm, with a bar lady singled out for a good pint of Welsh beer. Reviewers also mention three ales on the bar, a free jukebox with an excellent genre of music, and regulars who are friendly. The main reservations are modest. One reviewer says the faded pub sign and interior are in need of a refresh, and another held back a star because the pub is primarily a sports bar, with two TVs showing sport. One reviewer even had three puddings.
