Arkwright's Real Ale Bar, Campbell St., Belper

In many ways, the polar opposite of the Lion Hotel. Unprepossessing from the outside but glorious within. As many beer choices as any man could hope for, a reasonable array of seating and it was full on a Tuesday evening (although, in fairness, there was a skittles match on). An interesting innovation was that the skittles match, taking place in an alley to the side of the bar, was shown on a closed-circuit TV screen in the bar. Arkwrights won and the players tucked into some fine looking food, as a reward. Well worth several visits.
