Tramway Tavern, Chesterfield

A 19th century pub now run by nearby Brampton Brewery, four of their beers on pull plus four guests from far and wide. They probably change but today it was Everards Tiger; Only with Love Chinook; Glamorgan Fresh; and more locally Triple Point Gold. Formerly a two room pub it has the standard T shaped modernisation of two areas at the front and a long tail backwards with the square servery occupying the back right and right side, there’s a sitting area beyond that at the back and I believe a beer garden. Mixed seating forms and the place was very busy on my Saturday evening visit, beer quality was excellent justifying its GBG2025 entry.

Quite an attractive terraced pub, with a refurbished L-shaped interior featuring a few tables in a small area by the front part of the bar, with further seating to the left and at the back. Four handpumps on each side of the counter: Everards Tiger (as this is a Project William pub), Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Bewdley's Worcestershire Way and Blonde Protagonist from Alter Ego facing the street; and a 'house' Terminus pale ale from Brampton Brewery (who run the place), along with their Best, Golden Bud and Mild. So far so good, but the chap serving wasn't at all welcoming and the place was quiet, leaving a rather depressing impression.
