Quinno _ left this review about Pig & Pump
Determined to bag this one en route to the train and in fact I ended-up here for longer than expected by taking ‘a shortcut’ (others would say using Googlemap correctly) to get myself ahead of the fellow crawlees. An imposing exterior but opened-out, high-ceilinged and quite upmarket inside (which partially extended to the clientele, although some were certainly on the livelier side) with blue, white and green mustard colours along with some William Morris style wallpaper and lots of framed prints. Seven or eight ales I think, my Titanic PP was in good nick (NBSS 3.5) and I’d happily pop in again, especially given its proximity to the station. 7.5

Close to the station and the wonky church, pargeting to the parapet indicates that this was once the White Swan until 2019.
The interior is largely modern, catering mainly for what would seem to be young people, the venue smelling strongly of short order food all to a rather raucous ambience.
There were 12 pumps with three pseudo ‘real’ ciders, me plumping for a half of Oakham Citra at a pricey – for Chesterfield - £2.30 and good.
Not too bad as part of a crawl and handy for the railway station, but I wouldn’t call this a destination pub in its own right.
Rated: 7.5.

Always good to see a pub reclaimed, and I thought this former Chinese restaurant was now functioning as a decent pub. I could imagine that the large one roomed high ceiling internal space could lack a bit of atmosphere when there is not many in, but on a Friday evening when the place was packed out, it was literally jumping.
Well named as a lot of people do come here to eat, but with the impressive row of 12 hand-pumps, which were dispensing nine ales and three ciders for our visit, it’s a very good pub just for a beer as well and should definitely be considered in any beer crawl of Chesterfield, especially given its proximity to the railway station.
