The Queen's Head, Belper

What a cracking pub! Initially, it promised little from the outside - there was a band practising in an upstairs room and the door looked blank. Inside, though, a real treat - rooms galore, some with open fires, some with books for reading and exchange, a terrace with a view (allegedly), suitably antiquated toilets and that type of bleak lighting which, in other settings, would be garish. A range of four beers were on offer (after some changing of barrels had taken place) and we all settled down with a perfectly acceptable pint of Bass. This wasn't the end of the entertainment, though, by any means. At 10 o'clock, the pub suddenly filled with teams of men  eager to pit their wits in the Tuesday Night Quiz. Once order had been established by the twitchy quizmaster, the questions came thick and fast and maybe if we'd stayed another half an hour, we'd have found out who won. Maybe next time...
