Old Silk Mill, Derby

Prominently sited pub, with a mixed modern, 1930s and older interior. Eight handpumps serving well kept beers from microbreweries countrywide, plus the usual suspects in the keg line. Comfortable interior with a main room containing the bar counter, a smaller snug like room to one end called the Offilers Lounge and a function room towards the rear. There are some nice 1930s tiles in a service corridor running behind the bar, tiled floors and a pretty victorian fireplace. Quiet on my visit with a few older gents in the Offilers. Offilers is the name of a defunct Derby brewery which closed in 1966 but I don't know if this was one of their tied houses.
