Duke Of Wellington
115 Wellington StNearest pub and a level 3 minute walk. Serves food and many people recommend it.
This one is a 10 minute drive away, in small town of Wirksworth, but sells really good ales that are well looked after by owners. Always lots going on including music. Highly recommend if you like a rustic and quirky vibe. There’s also a small restaurant opposite (Umami) and because they don’t sell food you can take theirs in!
