Chesterfield Ale House, West Bar, Chesterfield

In the words of John Cooper Clarke "Limbo, baby, Limbo, It's a doorway in the rain" and the CAH is certainly no more to look at, from the outside, than a doorway. Inside, it's no palace, either, but it has the requisite collection of good ales, at the bar on a mezzanine, and enough basic chairs and tables for the Thursday evening clientele. I had a pint of  something light and hoppy from the Ashover Brewery but there were several other choices to be had and all, by today's standards, quite reasonably priced at <£3. The service was also bright and friendly, as were the locals. A good place for a pint, if you're in the town centre.
