The Horse & Jockey, Buxton

Like all the pubs in Tideswell, there was music playing in a totally empty pub when I was here one afternoon. Whereas the other two were unbearably loud, this one was just about OK. Good beer, too: Tetley's and Marston's Burton, plus one from Thornbridge. Interesting interior, with kitchen range in the bar parlour (no chimney above, so obviously a recent acquisition) and racing print in the lounge. On a previous visit this appeared to be the Sunday afternoon haunt of local bored twenty-somethings. Perhaps that's who the music was for...
