Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Merry Widows
Corner local directly opposite the station, with a surprisingly small 'L'-shaped interior sub-divided by two brick archways. Basic furniture and just a limited amount of sports-related decor. Three handpumps on the counter, but only Jenning's Cumberland (£3.35) available when I stopped by.

Directly opposite the station,this is a small street corner boozer .I had 15 minutes to kill,had a wander around the small interior with mainly whitewashed walls,ordered a Jennings Cumberland Ale which was the only real ale available and settled down to the left of the entrance where there is bench seating running around the walls and a Sky flatscreen.Lots of Derby County ephemera and more seating beyond the bar.In a town centre overflowing with excellent real ale pubs ,it's hard to justify using up drinking capacity in here.

Very close to the station and while there is nothing inherently wrong with the place it just doesn't compare with the one down the road.
