The Cross Keys, Derby

My third pub in Ockbrook and just time for a swift half before my bus. It's a lot smaller than the other two, but the licensee makes up for this with his cheerful attitude and willingness to talk to his customers. The beer I had from among the four on the bar was in good condition. The original pub is painted white, but there's a brick extension to the left, in which a Christmas tree and its decorations were just being taken down (this was mid-January). Another customer and I joked that it looked more like he was just putting it up in time for next Christmas. It's that sort of pub.

The Cross Keys has been up for let for about a year but no one seems to want this pub it looks quite nice from the outside and is fairly unaltered inside it has Pedigree on the bar and if your not happy here its a short walk to the Royal Oak.
