Old Boots left this review about Dronfield Arms

One of two GBG listed pubs in the village. A thin pub that goes back a long way, the set of 4 hand pumps with beers from the on-site Temper Brewery is at the furthest end of the counter round to the left. It would have been easier to get to if one of the bar blockers hadn’t deliberately tried to trip me up as I made my way through, my negative opinion of this pub is obviously coloured by that incident. I visited early evening on a Friday and it was fairly busy. The counter is pretty long running front to back on the left hand side then up some steps curving round to the left. Entering you could be forgiven in thinking no cask as it’s all T-Bars from the door onwards. Seating in various forms is available down the side opposite the counter then at the back where the place widens there’s banquette seating down each side. Brewing mirrors, old maps and ads form what decor there is. It has a beer garden at the back. Needless to say I curtailed my visit, a shame as the beer was very good and it’s doubtful I would ever set foot in the place again thus joining a select band of three or four other offensive pubs I refuse to ever visit again.

A good traditional pub with some of the locals having a game of darts on our afternoon visit. The barmaid was friendly and welcoming, she also offered us some beer tasters. I immediately went for their own beer, Temper Brewery Sinter Stout, which was excellent. They also had Temper Relacite Pale, Abbeydale Moonshine, Thornbridge Crakendale. The prices in here were also very reasonable.

Excellent Good Beer Guide pub and home to the Temper Brewery. Quite a narrow but elongated layout on three sides of the bar, with a small lounge area at the back (up a couple of steps, and probably also used as a stage?) at the back. Semi-modern furniture and decor throughout, but the feel remains traditional. I found three of their own beers - including the Nectaron (£3.70) - plus Abbeydale's Moonshine available on the four handpumps.
