Dead Poets Inn in Amber Valley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food times limited but a great chilli, loads of cash ales and ciders

Best ham sandwich, bowl of chips and pint (or two) of Bass experience in the known universe.

Love this place... Have been here a couple of times Morris dancing. The beers are excellent & so is the hospitality. There are plenty of cosy nooks to curl up in. A great conservatory & ample covered & uncovered spaces outside. A real little gem hidden in a traditional Derbyshire village 🌹💕😉🙏

Brilliant local excellent service

Was lucky enough to visit when they had a Beer Festival. 🍺 The quality of the beer we had was truly excellent. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable on beers. Well worth a visit!

Sat outside, had a pint of summer lightning, very nice. The beer choice was epic!

Excellent real ale pub. Great country pub atmosphere

Lovely place! This was the british pub how I was imagened it.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, staff are brilliant!

A brilliant back to basics pub. Great selection of beers. Food is basic but nice. I had a half pound pork pie was very nice. Recommended plan a walk around the amber valley and make this a stop.

Nice old fashioned pub, good beer, good food, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Also decent open fire

Absolutely cracking pub with a proper old world feel, cannot fault the beer, environment or service!

Absolutely a star pub well worth a visit; more than plenty of ale and cider choice

We had a really nice time at the Poets. Lovely atmosphere. Great beer. Roaring log fire. We will be returning very soon. Definitely recommend.

Open fire, cosy atmosphere and very nice staff. Only popped in for a coffee and the chilli and chips. That was yummy 😋 .

Cosy, friendly pub. Well kept beers and ciders. Very Dog friendly

Beautiful old pub in the Derbyshire hillside. Great beer

Loved this pub - a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere - the buring fire and smell of the burning wood was just so atmospheric 👌 we will return 😀

Just brilliant. Cheesy chip cob was a thing of beauty!

Great old pub, excellent value ales on tap with some more modern Keg Pale Ales too. Been going for years and it is always a warm and inviting atmosphere

Great pub, lots of variety behind the bar, good atmosphere friendly people

Beer festival on is a good choice - my selections were not that great but that was my problem. The sausage cob, although filled with sausage was rather bland and the sausages were pale in colour. The chips were perhaps the worse bowl I have ever had - overcooked and greasy. Gaviscon needed when I got home

Rode there for a drink - great little pub with good choice

Excellent place. Just drinks this time, but we have eaten previously and the food is good. Great beer, loads of room

Really nice pub run by friendly folk a couple of miles outside of Belper. Serves a good range or real ales , ciders and perries. A couple of nice snugs one of which has its own serving hatch which is a rarity! Lovely pub worth seeking out. Dog friendly and very welcoming! 🍻 🍏 🍎 🍐 🐕

Great beer choice. Super staff 👌

Nice old fashioned pub Great staff reasonable prices

We called in for a drink, not food.

Can't fault the place, proper pub. Great staff and great Bass 🍺👍 From, Stu ( in the post ) 🤣🤣❤

Nice pub, good beer, lovely atmosphere. Is better now than it used to be.

Lovely place. Lovely people. Generous portions. Generous people.

A little dark and lack of atmosphere didn't help neither did the not so great beer choice and served with the sparkler off so came virtually flat.. so ask for the nob on... I kid you not .. we forgot .. very quiet out of the way on a residential street ok but probably better at weekend

Nice atmosphere and a quiet drink

Great pub to visit. Seating inside and out. Great food and always a good choice of cask ales.

Very cosy pub. Great beer. Friendly staff. Kids only allowed in conservatory area or outside, but they're still good areas!

Splendid pub. Good beer nice people, nice friendly bar staff.

Old world feel with excellent beers

Lovely local pub. Great selection of beers, ciders, gins, you name it. Traditional interior, good outdoor area with plenty of seating. Great when they have their Sausage and Cider Festival on! Staff are all always so friendly 😊

Myself and the wife popped in here on whim. Approaching the door, that looks as though it should be grade 2 listed on its own, I turned to the missus and said "all the chatter inside makes it sound like a medieval tavern" I opened the door and literally walked into a medieval tavern. If you like old pubs this is an absolute must, still retaining original flag stone floors. Great selection of real ales and ciders in cozy surroundings. If you happen to visit in the winter there is a nice open fire to get warm next to. 5 Stars well deserved.

Very quirky pub with a lot of history. 8 cask ales available when we visited. Only had cobs available at (monda lunchtime, but the fillings were substantial and good value.

Warm welcome. Old friends. Great beers. Lovely atmosphere and now....new friends. What an unbeatable cocktail.

Best cob and chips. Always enjoy meeting up here with our friends. Nice friendly pub with lots of seating options either indoors or out. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus.

Great pub, great atmosphere, good beer. what more do you want?

Great pub, always been one of my favourites. Always good ales

What a great pub. Lovely atmosphere, open log fire and real ales. Will be back

Great Beer and friendly welcome.

Absolutely, definitely without a doubt the second best pub in Holbrook..😜

Amazing pub in the heart of a lovely village. The pub has great beers that are kept well with great locals serving. Can't speaking highly enough of this place.

Medieval inn serving an incredible choice of quality ales. Gin menu is extensive. My favourite ale remains Ubiquitous! Quaint, comfy cubicle seating or open seating in front of the fires. If you prefer space, the orangery is cosey with the dogs and access to the rear tarmac courtyard is great for air, smoke, dogs to stretch. The toilets are always super clean. Staff super helpful!

Lovely pint of Brunswick ale....

A huge celection of real ales, good atmosphere in the old pub too.

Great local pub, fantastic beers and a cracking atmosphere.

Fabulous little pub discovered while walking - great choice of beers

Proper old pub friendly and great range of beers ciders and spirits

Top real ale pub, loads of choice friendly staff & good food well worth a visit 🍺👍

Good beers,nice atmosphere and Camra discount. What's not to like!

Great place, fantastic range of beer's

Lovely local pub with good cask beer selection

Great pub. Stone floor. Hanging beams. Real fire in winter. Excellent choice of real ales and cider. Beer garden and conservatory to rear. Friendly staff. Great cheesy chips. Dog friendly. What more would you want from a pub!

A very nice real ale House with a good choice of ales even a ale menu board... very cosy to sit in. A family sitting area ..usual kind of pub snacks .food prices gone up as expected i suppose £3.25 for a basic cob example cheese and oinion. £1 for crisps nuts etc

Decent pub. Good beer. Has a garden. Enough said.

Lovely pub with a great selection of beers. Nice big outside area around the back with plenty of tables.

Nice ambience, excellent beer, tasty food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Lovely place for a nice quiet drink. Very decent ales, and the atmosphere is convivial and friendly. Just how a pub should be.

This pub is easily one of the best in Derbyshire.. I know it sounds like an exaggeration but its mix of great real ales and 'olde worlde' charm is wonderful. From outside it does not look anything out of the ordinary, but inside there are real fires, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. To see the pub at its finest I would recommend you drop in on a cold winters day..heaven. In summer there is a updated beer garden. Is also well worth factoring in on a 'crawl' given this pubs proximity to both the White Hart at Bargate and the Holly Bush in Makeney. Enjoy. M

Another good watering hole round this area.

Always a fine selection of Ale and Cider in the ever increasing popularity of Lager, 'tis a refreshing change to have the nicer beers catered for and you certainly do here. The welcoming staff are very pleasant and informative. There are a fine selection of snacks including the World's Greatest pub Snack : The Scampi Fry! 😇. The overall ambience is always nice, my last visit it was Sunday afternoon and the whole pub was short on seats as it was full, gone are the days where folk will just sit anywhere but we offered the spare seats to a couple of fellows who joined us, their friends joined us later and without looking too much like imposing nut cases we joined in with some of their conversations. What I'm saying is that this is an old timesy, local boozer, and it holds onto the village character without being isolating to non-locals. It's not like the local shop from the League of Gentlemen, much the opposite. Well done Dead Poets Inn, I raise a glass to your continued success.

Friendly warm and cosy, great beer

Not visited for a while but still had an excellent range of beers. Nice pint of Summer Lightening on a New Year's Day.

Great beers, friendly staff, good atmosphere and dog friendly! What more could you want?

A lovely dog friendly village pub. Always a nice welcome 🥰

What I didn't like was, there were too many dogs.

If you love good ales and a pleasant atmosphere ,this is the pub for you.X

Great pub, fab real ale , and friendly ambience .

Great traditional British pub. Good beer and cobs, crisps and dogs. Perfect.

A good pint, lovely cob and scotch egg. Glad it is my local

Best pub for cider I've ever been to.

Great pub, fab atmosphere. Lovely Beer's and Gins. 👍👏

Great ales and fabulous bar team make your visit a very happy one 😀 🍻🍻

Proper old fashioned pub, full of character and characters. Friendly atmosphere and excellent ales.

great country pub, excellent choice of beers and good food

Good range of ales served by attentive and friendly staff...

This pub don't deserve 5 stars, I want to give it more, but Google won't let me. Staying in Milford, and twice walked the 1.5 miles to this pub, it's worth the walk because the beer is so good. This is a traditional old pub with great atmosphere, and a great choice of beers. People who live close to this pub are so lucky.

A real gem of a real ale pub, very olde worlde feel inside good selection of Beer, nice big outside seating area, only serve food at lunch, parking on street

Good simple menu, excellent value. Good real ale & ciders. We will be back soon

Excellent well kept beers and a good selection of ciders. Lovely cosy pub retaining its character and small rooms and nooks. One of the best pubs in Derbyshire for good beer!

Great pub, great staff, 2 nice pints on a fab afternoon!

Love this pub . Brilliant atmosphere , welcoming landlady & her staff . Excellent beer . The Bass is the best pint ever . Good bar meals .

Fantastic food, service and adherence and organisation to covid rules. Very welcoming friendly and the beer is great too.

Great pub with well kept real ales👍

Lovely friendly pub, with fantastic landlords 😀

Ordered food while sat outside with a seven-year-old started to rain lovely lady working at the dead poets asked us if we would like to sit inside we sat down which was great because we will be out of the heavy rain while we are out then to be told by some big guy that works there but it’s now policy that you cannot bring children inside didn’t say that before he took our money so we had to sit outside in the rain and eat he did say we can eat in the smoking shelter if we like very clean cigarettes that have been in peoples mouths next to my food COVID-19 bring it on will never go there ever again how embarrassing

Overly paranoid with rules that are illogical but the get out clause is they claim it is the law. Evening ambiance ruined by a dog that kept barking at anything and everything.

Nice well run pub with good attention to respecting Covid rules, good range of ales on cracking form, the Bass was as good as my friends had drunk anywhere and the Oakham Citra was crisp and fresh...all in all very good.

Great night lovely beer and friendly staff perfect night out

God beer and bar snack, staff were great very covid aware.

Friendly local pub. Excellent beer

Great location, good selection of beer and reasonable price

Immaculately run cosy pub with an excellent selection of beers, ciders etc. Lovely inside in the winter and outside amongst the beautifully planted garden.

Nice place for a pint in these troubled times
