A really nice find. Great atmosphere and good variety of beer. Quirky decor and love the cheese fridge!
Visited on Saturday 3rd December 2022 mid afternoon.
Traditional ale house, warm and cosy with 3 small rooms rather than 1 large space, bar is in the first room, fire is in the second.
Went for an Urban Chicken tap takeover so all cask was obviously Urban Chicken; however, normally it's a mix of breweries, styles & ABVs alongside ciders, lager and some decent keg offerings.
The place was absolutely packed but everyone got served, no one cut in, and everyone was friendly, it has a real sense of community.
Getting there from Derby is super easy, the Ilkeston flyer drops you off outside The Crafty One (Health Centre bus stop) the Burnt Pig is down the side street next to The Crafty One (which is also excellent).
We'll definitely be back.
Whatever great things you have read about this pub ARE ALL true ! Once inside you're impressed by the friendly welcome by the bar staff and the array of different beers on offer. The locals are very welcoming and this admittedly quite small pub gets very busy very quickly. It's amazing what can be achieved in 3 small rooms! Quirky but traditional decor add to the atmosphere. If you are on the lookout for a friendly micropub then this ticks all the boxes. Check it out . M
P.S, the Pork Pies are divine !
