Dewdrop Inn in Erewash

Fantastic pub serving a great selection of cask & keg. Only serve pub snacks ie cobs, sausage rolls & scotch eggs but they are all delicious & superb value. Very friendly staff & lovely welcoming locals including, Tom, Natalie & William 🍻

It is an excellent bar with great beer No music Cheese cob and Scotch eggs are awesome

Great selection of beers, good service, and what every pub should serve, proper cobs.

Great little pub after a walk to Bennerley Viaduct 👍🏽

Loved this pub. Really friendly basic pub. Superb range of beers and serves basic snacks like pasties and scotch eggs. It's cash only. Worth tagging onto a visit to the bennerley viaduct which is about 15 min walk away.

First time here amazing pub great choice of beers and wonderful staff

Love this pub. Has a family room with a few toys in. The real ale is great 👍🏻

Nice atmosphere. Great staff. Friendly local pub.

A Victorian pub has a very good choice of real ales can't fault the choice full of history apparently Barnes Wallace the stayed there in the 1940s. The creator of the bouncing bomb..There's a out door seating area and family room plus lounge and main bar area. Fresh local eggs on sale.. Food is various snacks plus Cobs priced at £3.75.. I do recommend cheese and pickle you get a good 👍 size portion of cheese..Ham tuna.. etc . very friendly bar staff and landlord . Outside is opposite is a shopping mill Arkwright mill I think it's called...

Fast efficient service of a great choice of cask ale with the 4:00 pm rush at opening time. A CAMRA heritage pub with its 1960’s decor - I suppose a digital train time table would look out of place in here - the station is less than 5 minutes away if you are travelling North bound with no footbridges to cross.

Great real ale House Try the famous Cheese n onion doorstep cob with your ale

Stuck in the 70's and that's it's charm. Great real ales, clean seating and ooldy worldy log burners. Nice staff and friendly locals, egg man walks round selling his own chickens eggs from that day too. Highly recommend. Try their food too!

Real ale prices are extortionate and very overpriced compared to other real pubs in Ilkeston. Won't be coming back.

Shhhh 🤫 don't tell anyone about this place as it's brilliant.. proper pub, proper beer 🍻 and proper people

Lovely pint,great company,nice atmosphere

Visitors from Marske Utd.,real ale aficionados. Loved it. Pub with real atmosphere

Really friendly atmosphere and a lovely warm feel to the place considering we turned up in a large group.

What the most recent steward Tony and family have done to the the place is simply remarkable. This Victorian circa 140 building previosly known as The Middleton Hotel has always been a beautiful, yet became a run down building needing love. Now it is again beaming, and bustling at full steam. Full most days with lovely people just trying to wind down. No delinquents ever drink here. Just a wonderful place to have a fantastic pint. Theres also a nice selection of spirits available. It never gets old saying.... Well done to Tony, family, friends and staff for bringing the drop back to life!!!

Real down to earth proper English pub fab range of real ale good price new fav pub to have a quiet pint

Great place to meet after work. Super beer choice and snacks available. It's been a long time since we went to a traditional pub of quality that also sells fresh local 🥚🪺 eggs!

Absolutely adore this place. Pies are very tasty, the cheese and onion Cobs are amazing, but very filling due to the amount of filling you get. Always have loads of different ales on. Good ciders too. The staff are absolutely brilliant, have an artist quite regular. Atmosphere is great especially when a regular turns up and plays guitar. Dog and children friendly.

Great meet up place and close to train station too

Really nice local feeling pub. Staff are always friendly, good drink selection and a great snack selection too!

Best pub for miles around..... Great Beer Great Staff and a lovely clientele who sure know how to get the banter going........ I'll give it foive

Quiet when I went in on a Friday afternoon, but really nice pub. Good selection of ales and lagers and reasonably priced. Very good service, efficient and friendly, felt welcome the moment I stepped in. It's a little out of the way for me so I don't get down there as often as I would like but I've always enjoyed my time here, I've been in 3 or 4 times before with friends.

Great beers and friendly people, what more can you want.

Excellent selection of real ales Friendly staff

This is a lovely pub. It's not flash but a great place to spend time drinking and laughing with friends. Comfy seats inside, lovely outside space, and top 5 star service with a wide range of real ales and ciders. We'll be going back soon.

Great pub, staff are always polite and friendly and the cheese & onion cob is awesome. *Update 15/042023* Still a great pub staff are polite and friendly and the cob is still awesome.

Cracking place. Good beer and food. Staff really friendly

A proper pub, with a good selection of ales, much to the delight of my husband.

Great beers,lovely inside when cold, lovely outside when hot. Landlord is a decent bloke too.

What a superb freehouse. So excellent I'm writing this review after my second visit in a few weeks on pub crawls up from London for the day. Just had to stop for another visit after a small crawl at Langley Mill. Cask ale choice and quality really high. Nice good value cobs served, I had two ! Customers very friendly and owner/manager? (Tony?) very welcoming. If you're on a day out to Ilkeston or on a pub crawl on the Erewash Valley line this pub needs to be on your itinerary. Cheers x

A great pub in a quiet corner of Ilkeston, attentive staff, good food and beer. Could happily while away an afternoon here so I did!

Cracking pint proper pub pasties cobs scotch eggs the size of cricket balls, proper boozer.

Close to Ilkeston Station Good beer and an old fashioned pub warm and cosy.

Always very welcoming and a great selection of beers

Some of the best real ales in the land

Been in today for the first time in ages and thankfully it's still a proper ale house with a good selection of real ales and friendly staff and customers. The pasties smelled beautiful. Highly recommended

Sat outside on very hot day The area was nice and clean and separate area for smokers. Real Ales thoroughly enjoyed by my other half.

Lovely public house and friendly professional staff

Nice real ales, Bar staff very friendly and welcoming, a must try.

Excellent beers n cheese n onion cobs - shame no longer has juke box

This is the old Middleton railway hotel. It no longer provides accommodation. It is a specialist​ real ale pub with live music occasionally in the bar. It has a snug room very quiet. Also has a big lounge where everyone talks to each other ,just good beer and good conversation. There's a yard with outdoor seating and a smoking area. Bishops Farewell,& Devil at 6%ABV is a regular drink here from Oakham,s Brewery plus six other guests ales at a average price of £3.40 They also do 4 strong Ciders. Simple food prepared​ fresh to order ham and cheese cobs also hot Cornish pasties,pork pies Soups with co All in all a good old fashioned pub.

Great selection of beers and ciders, nice little beer garden for sunny afternoons/evenings.

Great range of beers and a great garden area

Lovely staff great atmosphere. A real pub with real ale

Best easter egg I got was from there. Goose egg.

Nice place really friendly owner. Definatelly worth to back

Lovely pub with a great selection of ale.

It's many years since I went in the Dewdrop Inn but it's had a very sympathetic refurb and is well worth a visit. Close to the Station, is got a range of great beers and a really nice atmosphere. The staff and locals are very friendly. Give it a try, you don't be disappointed.

Lovely traditional 3 room pub,good beers and normally very nice made to order cobs.

I gave it 5 star if I could give any more I would. The last I was in a bus load came from Tamworth they brought their own folk band. If you haven't visited you don't know you are missing.

Lovely , as always , nice beer and a lovely public house .

Great real ale pub, good selection of Beers cosy little rooms, no cooked food but good selection of bar snacks outside seating in summer and live music at times

Good old fashioned drinkers pub

Lovely bit of old Ilkeston. Owner has renovated the entire place during COVID. Reasonably priced and a great watering hole.

Lovely welcome for my first time in the pub. First rate local beers. Glad my train was cancelled so I've found this great pub.

Best pub around , very traditional, great people, good selection of beer, Tony and Helen always welcoming, can't go wrong going to this pub at all. Ps the ham salad cobs the best around.

Lots of good ales and Proper Cornish pasties - winner of pasty world champs for last 5 years

Gone back in time, hope it never changes.

Lovely old pub, very welcoming, nice outside area, just like a pub should be! Very nice staff.

What a fantastic unique place, like going back in time to the old style pub and values, with a piano. Girls very polite and welcoming, and very knowledgeable on beers, 110% be returning.

Really enjoyed my night. Great staff, service and entertainment

What a lovely pub! Helen and Tony have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere and I can't wait to visit again. Ps the cheese cobs had THE biggest lump of cheese in them. No skimping on the fillings here 😁

Fantastic landlord and great atmosphere always makes you welcome

Nice choice of ales and friendly folk

Excellent choice of real ales, well kept and served. Safe and welcoming. Love it.

Brilliant friendly pub, best cobs around and they're massive. Cracking ale too.

Cracking traditional pub out the way 👍

Very nice little bar, decent selection of real ale.

Cracking little local pub. Friendly staff. Not too expensive. Recommended.

Great selection of real ales. A very homely place

Proper drinkers pub. No tv or music playing, just a coal fire & great selection of resident & guest ales. Cheese and onion cobs are massive. Beer glasses clean and no short measures. Would recommend if visiting or passing by. Local pub for locals that extend a warm welcome to newbies

You won't get better beer anywhere.

Fantastic pub just like going back in time but in a great way it's well worth a visit. Good beer selection.

Decent beer, new landlord and a good almost dry smoking shelters.

Great company, lovely regulars.

Quite possibly the best cheese and onion cobs on the planet with real ale as well

I can't even put this place into words.

Great beer, handy for the station and cosy. Experience only marred by a group of anti Semites in the front snug pontificating on a 'Jewish conspiracy' to rule the World. It could though happen in any pub and isn't necessarily the publican's fault.

Excellent beer, roaring fire, friendly

Always well kept beers with a good pool table. Largest cheese sanwitches known to man
