Quinno _ left this review about Rutland & Derby Arms
Apparently there was a very expensive refurb in here a few weeks back and indeed it does smell of ‘new’ though the casual visitor might struggle to note the difference beyond a slapping of dark green and blue paint. Awful Irish music on for Paddy’s Day made wince. Four Everards ales and a cider, my Sunchaser was decent (NBSS 3). A joker for a crawl given you are certain to hit the nearby Blue Boar and probably the Two Tailed Lion. This one is only a couple of yards stagger further on. 6.5
November 2022
Another long-overdue revisit (I used to be up this way a lot back in the day when I was first dating my now-wife). The previous refit seems to have been done-over again lightly - seems a bit of a darker shade than I recall - with an extension out the back. GBG’22 listed with five pumps drawing four ales and a Rosie’s Pig cider. Ales were 3x Everards and Titanic Iceberg. Neither of my beers were up to snuff, the Everards Yakima was warm and a bit barrel-endy (NBSS 2) whilst the Sunchaser was warm and didn't fully clear (1.5). Poor form from a GBG pub and I note it doesn’t appear in the new 2023 edition. A couple of bonuses were that the playlist was decent and the barman was a cut above the average. It’s the kind of place that you can get on with when the beer’s good but easily take against when it isn’t. Rated 5.5
January 2007
A rather nice modern bar (steel and pine) slightly away from the town centre. Serves quite a number of foreign lagers. Three handpulls from Everards in good nick, served by knowledgeable staff. Has hireable board games (all pieces included!) and a very eclectic music playlist which was refreshing. Décor is nice with a beer garden thrown in and the punters vary from students to This Life-style workers. Serves food, but didn't get chance to sample. Has gone non-smoking in advance of the ban. One downside is that is that it's a little more expensive than most of the surrounding outlets - you're paying for the refurb. Rated 8

Housed in a large and fairly attractive red bricked building , the interior though has been modernised and opened out. The bar supports five handpumps with Everards Tiger, Tiger Triple Gold and Sunchaser, Brunswick White Feather as a guest beer with the last handle given over to a Cider that I forgot to note.
An inoffensive pub but not one I'd use regularly if I lived locally.
Pub visit Jan 2025.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Rutland & Derby Arms
Everards pub / restaurant with a remodelled and modernised interior (including a side dining area located up three steps) in a rather bland mix of modern and more traditional furniture. Four cask ales - Tiger, Sunchaser, Tiger Triple Gold (rather disappointing) and Brunswick's White Feather as a guest - plus a draught cider.
