The Abbey, Darley Abbey

What a pub! Good for two very persuasive reasons - you couldn't find quainter surroundings than a 12th Century Augustian abbey with bars on two levels and you can't find beer anywhere at £1.71 a pint. The pub is situated on a narrow back street but only a few hundred yards from the Derwent in a very leafy part of Derby's North East fringe. We turned up on a snowy Tuesday to find a smattering of folk, moderately-comfortable quirky seating, recesses in the walls which didn't quite match the former location of beams and the afore-mentioned cheap beer. The beer was well-kept Sam Smiths and, if you want to be picky, there wasn't much choice - but there were no complaints from us. Definitely one to return to..
