The Old Silk Mill is L-shaped with a central L-shaped bar counter that supports six hand pumps that were drawing Bass, Blue Monkey Brewery’s Infinity IPA, Dancing Duck Brewery’s Ay Up and Dark Drake Oatmeal Stout, Oakham’s Citra and Lilley’s Mango. I went for the Dark Drake which I enjoyed in the seating area to the right of the entrance. The main body of seating in the rear is more of a dining area, pub grub mains are available and the burgers are priced at £14. I thought it was OK in here, so being centrally located I would include on a crawl.

An old pub, apparently prone to being refurbished at frequent intervals in some strange quest to 'stay fresh'. Now in a sort of modern boutique style, with a mish-mash of red, green and yellow paintwork and furnishings with various arty lighting. A plain brick wall features a slightly random stone fireplace strewn with assorted junk. At the back is a plain dark-painted dining area and there is an outdoor terrace to the side. Alewise, it offered Bass, Jaipur, Oakham Citra, and Dancing Duck Ay Up and Dark Drake. Pleasant enough in its modern sort of way, although a bit pricier than others nearby.

Large dining area to one side and a very smart lounge where people also eat. Not all food based, good selection of ales on too.
Bass Premium selected - in good nick.
Spoiled for choice in Derby.
