The Victoria, Chesterfield

A good solid backstreet pub, nicely traditional with some splendid stained glass windows. It has a two bar layout, with pool and darts in the sporty side, equipped with leather banquettes and chairs, all in good trim. Most importantly, it felt like a proper pub. Cask ales on were Chatsworth Gold, Abbeydale Retribution, Thornbridge Crackendale and Black Sheep Best.

This pub has a good size interior and on our visit we enjoyed the bar side, which is on the left hand side of the entrance. A few of the locals were in enjoying a game of darts and later the footy was showing on a large wall mounted TV. The pub is spotlessly clean and the beer quality was excellent. Four beers and handpump, Wainwright Gold, Chatsworth Gold, Bradfield Farmers Blonde and Black Sheep.
