  “On a hot Monday afternoon after a day exploring Matlock and the surrounding area we were feeling a little thirsty so we popped in for a swift drink. 3 minutes into happy hour was a bonus. A pint of San Miguel and a pint of Cider came to £8.00. Both were good and with friendly service and music that wasn't to loud it was a nice way to chill before heading back to our accommodation.”

  “Pleasant micropub. Only two real ales on offer. Very quiet on a Saturday lunchtime. Nice comfortable seating. Nice interior. Sport on big screens. I didn't notice the food menu”

  “Didn't order food so can't comment. Usual standard range of beers on tap (Guinness, lagers etc) plus 2 craft brews on tap. Ordered a craft can expecting it to be cold but it turns out that the cans are kept in a locked display in the front window at room temperature. I was asked if I'd like it chilled (which of course I did as it was 26° outside). Received it after being in the beer 'chiller' for a minute. It was barely cold, very disappointed and won't be going again. Why don't they keep their cans in a fridge like every other bar/pub??”

  “What on earth has happened to this place? Hardly any craft beers on the taps, run down, bar staff vaping behind the bar (!!!!), and toilets were filthy!”

  “Was looking forward to this, but it was really disappointing. Poor beer selection; interesting can selection in the window draws you in, to be met with a weak selection of mostly macro, with just two mediocre beers on the keg lines. Toilets an absolute state at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon, dead flies on the window sill, no lock on the toilet cubicle, filthy, shocking. Worst of the four bars we've tried this weekend, by some distance.”
