This edge-of-town pub on the A6 had been fairly recently refurbished when I was here last summer, with an alehouse style accented by plenty of new or repurposed wood and fake or reconstituted stone flags. I had a little chat with the licensee, who evidently knows how to keep his real ales, of which - despite the four hand pumps - there is usually just one on the bar at a time, from a rotating list of Marstons Pedigree and Timothy Taylor Landlord or Boltmaker. It was the turn of the last named when I was here, and it was in reasonable nick. Knowing Belper as I have come to do over a number of years, I can say it is a strong real ale town, and this pub is perhaps not best placed (in the geographical sense) to break into a very challenging market. I'd be interested to call in here again and see how things are going.

The Tavern is a plain looking bare brick built town pub,this is just south of the town centre on the main road to Derby.
Once inside this is quite a nice pub,there is a single L shaped room with the bar facing,the floor is stone and the ceiling beamed which has lots of small jugs hanging from it plus some pump clips.
There is comfy bench seating to the front and left side with small stools,the front right has pew seating and small stools,the rear left area is down one step,there was a covered up pool table here,there is a TV to the left which was showing cricket.
There were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Lincoln Green Archer which went down very well,the other beers were Pedigree,St Austell Tribute and Abbeydale Wellesley.
Decent background music was playing and the pub was busy with a good mixed crowd on my late Saturday afternoon visit.
This is a decent pub that is worth a go if in the area.
