The White Lion, Starkholmes

This pub has recently changed hands, and the new staff are clearly working hard to build up the business. As before, the right -hand end of the pub (as you enter) is the drinking half, while the left-hand section  is mainly for eating.

We didn't try the food, but the bar service was friendly and helpful, and there was a good range of beers on, including the very tasty Ugly Sisters (4.5%). So well worth a try, especially as this side of Matlock is not over-supplied with decent pubs.
