Five Lamps Pub

"The best pub in Derby by far. Interesting surroundings but more importantly 11 handpulls with a different excellent real ale on each one, kept and served exceptionally well. What was also impressive was that the cider and craft beers were separate. Well worth the long walk from the station. If you really like real ale, wherever you live, you must visit this place."

"Been meaning to visit for months, unfortunately on the previous attempt we found it shut.... turns out that the previous landlord had moved on. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, Brown Ales Pub Company has took over and massively invested in the place. Judging by previous pictures the changes have been hugely beneficial, it's got a similar feel to a London pub (without the London prices) modern but warm and inviting, upon speaking with the new manager there's more to come with a complete rework of the beer garden. The beer range seems to have also improved, they still have a few lagers on alongside a couple of traditional cask ales; however, there's now an excellent range of craft beer from the likes of Pentrich, Black Iris, Shiny, Polly's, Deya etc alongside modern cask from Two by Two, Pentrich, Bang the Elephant, Full Circle etc. Full meals have gone, replaced by quality snacks such as Scotch Eggs, pork pie, cheese boards, olives etc, in my opinion it's definitely the way forward. The GM and staff seem to understand current drinking preferences, what makes a beer and a decent pub... which is awesome. Alongside the Furnace and Flowerpot this side of Derby is absolutely worth visiting."

"Bloody lovely place. Bustling with beer lovers and a set of really well kept allies. It has a great atmosphere and a decent outdoor area. The licensees Jess and John are the loveliest and most professional people, who've been in the trade for years and know their stuff! Awesome. Can't wait to return."

"Superb suburban pub, a short walk from the town centre, large range of ales and ciders available, with knowledgeable staff, beautiful interior. Worth a walk from town."

"The Five Lamps has had a full refurbishment along with new management. The decor inside is classic British pub with some quirky elements. Seating is plentiful with a mixture of tables and chairs and booths. The beer selection is excellent with MANY real and craft ales and real ciders to choose from. There is a selection of no/low alcohol beer which is actually quite nice! Good range of wine and spirits as well as soft drink options. No food offered here now, with the exception of bar snacks. Toilets have had a paint job too and are clean and functional. There is a small car park and a small outside seating area, half covered and non smoking, the other half more open to comply with smoking laws. Really nice pub, friendly staff and great beer. The pub is also dog friendly. What more could you want?!"
