Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the real ales on the pump, describing a big, well kept selection with local choices, and one names Neepsend Double Century as perfect. Several mention the pub's Camra recognition, and others call it a proper, friendly local with good staff, plenty of tables and a welcome for dogs. Food comes close behind, with pizza night, tapas and a creme brulee after dinner with live piano all getting praise. Several also stayed overnight and describe clean, comfortable rooms with a TV, tea and coffee and a small fridge, plus good value and very little noise from the bar below. The shared bathrooms were judged clean and enough in number. The one recurring drawback is that the pub has no car park, though reviewers say parking nearby is easy. One guest closes on the pleasant walk through the Erewash valley right by the pub.

“I found myself in Staplegord for an evening and fancied a good pint so was delighted to stumble upon this Camera recommended pub. Great place, delicious beer and inexpensive pizza. Turned out nice again.”

“A lot of real ales from the pump, nice staff, good atmosphere - no wonder they're Camra-awarded multiple times. Funny smoking area. Unfortunately it has no car park but you can park nearby. We also stayed overnight and the room was good and clean, with TV, coffee/tea stuff and even a small fridge. Bathrooms are shared but there are enough and they were clean. Reasonable prices for beer and room. We enjoyed our stay.”

“Welcoming and friendly real ale pub. Big selection of ales all well kept. Neepsend Double Century was perfect. Plenty of tables to sit at. Dog-friendly. Great place to meet up with friends and enjoy top ale - or have a quiet pint. Feel we should’ve been coming here for years.”

“Lovely stop off on a nice local walk for a bit of tapas and a couple of pints. Great atmosphere in what is one of Stapleford’s nicer watering holes.”

“Excellent over night stay here. It exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and cleanliness. Really good value for money. We had two rooms. One with double bed one with twin beds. Both were very comfortable. Bonus of Pizza night in the pub below too.. delicious! Very little noise from the pub and the shared bathroom was more that adequate. Friendly staff and a great little walk nearby in the Erewash valley should you want some fresh air and exercise!”
