No 189, Derby

Very busy micro-pub in an otherwise pub-lite part of northern Derby, now with a doubling of seating space under a marquee at the front. Plain wooden tables and limited decoration, but a real community feel. All six handpumps were also in use, offering a couple of Littleover beers - King George's Bitter and The Panther oatmeal stout (£3.50) - plus others from Theakston, Milestone, Affinity and Hawkshead.
