With a pint being valued over £5 it would be worth it if the bartender smiled or was even polite. Never going there again. Very depressing attitude from the staff.

OK, but not as good as the original bell, some 10 years ago. Expensive, but nice choice of beers, decent staff, good atmosphere. Try it, worth a pint at least.

Nice pub, our barman was really friendly and knowledgable… a rarity these days! Nice outdoor seating at the front in the sun. Wide range of draft ales and beers.

The beer was terrible, could not drink it as it tasted of metal and made me feel very sick

Visited Saturday 28th January 2023, mid afternoon.Built in 1650 it's Derby's largest remaining coaching Inn and was considered one of the grandest outside of London, the Tudor frontage was added in the early 1900s.At its peak it had over 50 rooms, multiple bars and restaurants, it's been a doctor's, court and even held prisoners in its cellar.Nowadays it's massively impressive and gives a real sense of Derby's fairly grand but sadly lost history.The main bar is in 1 room spanning the front, beer choice is pretty good with a nice mix of cask, craft on keg and lager with a full range of spirits, soft drinks, tea and some nice smelling coffee.Staff are great, really smart looking and attentive but friendly and talkative.Hard to believe how much this place has changed, it's great to see someone actually caring about such an historically important building.Well worth going and visiting their website for their full history.

We went to the faulty towers dining experience here, great little pub, good service, they had the faulty towers characters off to a tea, great night out, never stopped laughing and food although a little slow coming out it was cooked beautifully, highly recommend trying this

Would not recommend using their catering.Food was bland, lacked logical variety and for some products seemed uncooked/not cooked or stored appropriately.(Half the guests experienced diarrhoea but could not prove/disprove it was the catering as GPS needed samples for testing.)When discussed compensation for poor catering for the expensive process per head the events manager Shaun ghosted my emails.Incredibly poor management of the situation.The above left a stain for what started off as a fantastic experience putting the event together. Bar staff were lovely and Shaun was accommodating with the organisations hired such as photo booth and decorations.Would recommend the location but NOT the catering. Over priced and bland at best.
