Ye Olde Dolphin Inne, Derby

Called in here on a Sat eve and the place was mobbed, still managed to have a good look round. A lot of people eating so most of the tables were occupied. Great service in spite of how busy it was and did not wait long at all to sample the Notts Brewery Bullion, which was excellent. Will call again when less busy.

very olde worlde pub with good beer selection

One of our long standing favourite pubs in the centre of Derby, this is a lovely old rambling pub entered through a passageway with two internal drinking areas off this. There is also an outside bar that is used at bust times. Theres always people eating in this place when we visit so presumably it has a good reputation for food. However, we are there for the ales and whilst not as large a range as a number of other pubs in Derby, it always has a good selection that is well kept. There are also a number of beer festivals held here throughout the year. Can get very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights but we have often still found soemwhere to sit.
