The Bear, Alderwasley

















 

When five customers turn up at an almost empty pub bar you might, at least, expect someone to take your order. But in our case, after waiting several minutes, we had to ask the barman to serve us. Feeling thoroughly unwelcome, despite the cosy stove and well-worn furniture and fittings, we were next shocked to be charged £3.50 per pint for perfectly ordinary, if satisfactory, beers. This price is near our all-time record for Derbyshire, and it was hard to see any justification for it. Perhaps they are only interested in catering for diners - in which case see recent reviews of the food on Tripadvisor!

Needless to say we didn't stay for a second round, but spent the rest of the evening in a decent pub - the Royal Oak in Wirksworth ....
