This is the local CAMRA branch POTY and it is not difficult to see why. A very impressive line up of ten real ales and six craft keg pumps dispensing a good variation of beer styles and strengths.
There is a focus on the local Brampton Brewery beers, but with only three on the ale pumps, this left a choice of seven other brewery products, including Everard’s Tiger, due to the Project William tie up. As it happened I ducked the Acorn Brewery Gorlovka Imperial Stout at 6% and went for the more sensible 4.5% Brampton Brewery Stout as I thought it would be rude not to try one of theirs, and it was perfectly fine.
I wasn’t sure what to make of the interior decor on first entering, clearly clean and modern in one way, but giving an initial feeling that you had stepped back in time to a 1970’s boozer, but I have to say I did warm to the William Morris wall paper and think it’s probably better enjoyed and comes into its own on a dark evening when there are a few in and the lights are on.
But the main attraction here is the impressive beer range which is complemented by the knowledge and friendliness of the team behind the bar. And with several other decent options nearby it makes a bus journey out of Chesterfield to visit almost compulsory.
One thing to add, that seems to have been missed in previous reviews is that as well as the benches to the front of the pub, there is an additional enclosed outside courtyard area, accessed by the door at the back of the pub near the toilets.

This is a fairly substantial roadhouse pub in a none-too-appealing area and a fair trek from Chesterfield proper; it’s a Project William pub courtesy of Everards, linked though not exclusively to the Brampton brewery.
As described below, the interior is large and slightly trendified, with either a carpeted or modern boarded floor; there’s a trendy patterned bar front, décor in the form of random black and white photos.
There are 10 pumps, my Ashover Three Horseshoes was £2.03 a half though rather dull; I couldn’t finish it.
This place may find favour with fans of Brampton beers which may justify the trek, but I didn’t warm to this place.

A quite splendid pub, quite large with a collection of connected areas in the main part and a snug behind the bar, with (I think) 11 cask ales on, Brampton brews heavily featured of course. As other have commented, the sort of pub you could happily spend considerable time in.
