K. S.

Wonderful Afternoon and Evening. Food was Outstanding. Best Guinness in Derby ❤ The Hosts with the Most at this Establishment.

P. W.

First time in here but friends had recommended. Landlord was very accommodating, great selection of beers and lagers. Live music and reasonable prices - won't be long before we go back!

S. B.

Shame they didn't serve food. Lovely decor and nice, large beer garden. Not the best location but that made it a nice surprise when we entered

B. G.

There today for the gathering after the funeral of a dear friend and neighbour. Never visited before and I was so impressed by the warmth of the welcome and the lovely building. I will most definitely be going back there.

D. C.

It's been a cracking little pub for a good while now ..with a great outside area 😀

P. G.

Had a fantastic meal for mother's day. The food was the brilliant and the staff as usual were excellent.👍

J. B.

Called in to celebrate a double christening with my grandson and son-in-law niece. Fantastic spread - very reasonable priced drinks 🍸 😀 Sat outside for an hour or so then had to come inside as it was turning a little cool. Happy to recommend this local pub for a pint! Cheers 🍻 👏

This is a great little pub. From the looks of the inside, it has had a makeover and looks good because of it. The beer is good with a nice selection and the Guiness is pretty good too. The staff all seem friendly enough and the pub is dog friendly which is a huge bonus for those with 4 legged companions. I've not eaten here so I cannot rate the food, however, from what I have seen, I would recommend the place.

K. G.

Amazing food & service. Couldn't recommend enough

K. H.

Great pub with a good choice ales and beers + ciders. Nice friendly atmosphere

M. R.

I last visited this pub around 7 years ago and it was a bit of a dive, not because of the staff but because the locals made you feel about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit... However, what a changed pub this now is!! It has been thoroughly refurbished and knocked through into an adjoining property making it a very modern real ale pub with more than a passing nod to the more traditional historic boozer. The food being served is of a very high quality and yet reasonably priced, will definitely return to sample next time I'm over that way. The staff (and just as importantly the regulars) are very friendly and welcoming, it is a completely different pub experience to what it once was. It should also be noted the Bell and Castle has one of the largest and perfectly maintained beer gardens within the city limits, there are even sun loungers- very quirky! One of the better real ale pubs in Derby. M

Had a wonderful party here.Angie made it absolutely fantastic. She was so kind and generous and really cared. She put so much effort into making my party special. The function room has he most beautiful and tasteful decor and the buffet food was fantastic , thanks so much!

P. n.

I used to frequent this pub many years ago. I couldn't believe the changes. Very impressive. It seems twice as big as it was before. Really friendly and a really good pint. Highly recommended by me and my 2 sons. 👍

C. O.

The hospitality in this place is amazing. The food is the best ive tasted for a while. We went to a wedding reception there , the weather was wet and cold, my husband went to get the car and we had a flat tire, when he came back he was soaked through, the landlady got him a warm towel and gave him a new dry t-shirt, to me that's friendly and going out of their way to make us welcome. A massive thankyou to you and all your staff. Xxx

M. H.

Went here after the England match with panama. It had a great environment and had a DJ at the beer garden playing all the classic England football tunes. Great pint and venue. Not tried the food yet though. That is definitely on my list.

N. K.

Cool staff and really good environment with internal and external areas.

M. T.

Little gem on the outskirts of Derby town centre. Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff. Recommend the Sunday roast 😋 regular live music most weekends, function room ideal for parties and celebrations!🍾🎉🎆

(Translated) Because it is a little off the town, there are many local people and the shop assistants and customers are friendly. A well-kept garden in the back of the building! Exactly Beer garden! Oops Real ale garden! ! Derby No.1 drinking ale while enjoying the blue sky and garden on a sunny day! ! ! It seems to change the garden every year. Information from local regulars. (Original) ちょっと街から外れているので、地元の方が多く店員さん、お客さんともにフレンドリーです。 建物の奥に手入れをされた庭が！　まさにBeer garden！　おっとReal ale　garden！！ 晴れた日に青空と庭を楽しみながら飲むaleがDerby　No.1！！！ 毎年、ガーデンを模様替えするそうです。　地元の常連さんからの情報です。
