Will Larter left this review about The Anglers Rest
After a change of policy by the community enterprise which owns the pub and has run it since 2013, the Anglers has had a refurbishment under the new leaseholders, Atlantik Inns, based in the Peak District. There's still a cafe and post office, and the layout is much as described in the previous review, but a pool table has been reintroduced and different wallpapers denote the various rooms: fish in the bar area I can understand, and maybe stags in the dining room, but books in the games room is going to be a puzzle for me. Service was very welcoming and helpful, and there were six hand pumps to choose from. I swerved the Old Peculier and went for a half of the two from local Intrepid (Solito and Ignis) which were both in very good condition. The other three options were from local Eyam brewery. It seems these two breweries are going to feature regularly. This was a pleasant stop on a warm, sunny day of cycling. Luckily it's only 10 miles from home. Maybe I should come here more often.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Anglers Rest
Village pub given a new lease of life as a community enterprise, now incorporating a Post Office and the daytime Rest Café within the multi-room interior, with the more traditional bar and two seating / dining areas to the left of the front entrance. Also has some garden seating at the side and back of the car park. A better selection of cask ales that I expected, with a pair each from Abbeydale (Daily Bread and Moonshine) and Neepsend (Asar and Helhest, and both in fine form) - from the five handpumps. Overall, a decent place to stop if walking in the area.

Good Beer Guide 2019 - but I expect its more to do with the community efforts in keeping it going (attache is a cafe, shop and a post office) rather the quality of the beer.
The Chatsword Gold was in average condition.
The pub was nice and busy, with bar and separate dining area. Could do with some comfier seats - but I had been walking 16 miles.
