I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Bell & Castle pub in Derby. This cozy spot offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxed evening alone. The highlight for me was the perfectly poured Guinness, served from their charming vintage taps. It’s a rare find, and it truly made the experience special. The beer garden is a gem, spacious and beautifully maintained, providing a great place to enjoy a drink outdoors. The pub’s effort to broadcast the Olympics on large, high-quality screens was a fantastic touch, making it the ideal spot to catch all the action while enjoying the lovely summer weather. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming vibe of the place. Whether you're a local or just passing through Derby, Bell & Castle is a must-visit. The combination of great drinks, a pleasant atmosphere, and excellent service makes it deserving of a full five stars. Highly recommend!

Just had an excellent family Sunday lunch here at the Bell and Castle. Generous portions, all fresh produce. We had the gammon and beef, pork also available. Apple crumble and cheesecake were our desserts. Service was fast and friendly. We highly recommend it. The hosts are Shay and Angela. Pay them a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Pre-booked several weeks ago. The food was fantastic and lots of it, I had the starter and main course of a lamb shank whilst my wife and daughter had a main of turkey breast and a pudding. The Mains came with lots of lovely side vegetables. My 13 year daughter is a fussy eater but she loved the way the mash potato was made. All of us were impressed and full, the service was second to none. Thank you - we will definitely be returning.

I last visited this pub around 7 years ago and it was a bit of a dive, not because of the staff but because the locals made you feel about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit... However, what a changed pub this now is!! It has been thoroughly refurbished and knocked through into an adjoining property making it a very modern real ale pub with more than a passing nod to the more traditional historic boozer. The food being served is of a very high quality and yet reasonably priced, will definitely return to sample next time I'm over that way. The staff (and just as importantly the regulars) are very friendly and welcoming, it is a completely different pub experience to what it once was. It should also be noted the Bell and Castle has one of the largest and perfectly maintained beer gardens within the city limits, there are even sun loungers- very quirky! One of the better real ale pubs in Derby. M

The Bell and Castle is a terrific pub located just a couple of minutes out of Derby City centre. It offers a good range of beers, Aspall which is my usual tipple poured very well and always with a smile. This pub serves food which looks splendid however I'm yet to try, I will review this in the near future. It has sky sports inside the pub as well and a lovely bar area and many ta les and chairs for sitting in comfort. The beer garden here is huge and is really worth visiting in summer. The prices is around £3.50 a pint but believe me for the vibe of the place and how friendly people are it's not a bad price at all. I believe there is a room available to hire here. More than worth a visit. You even see Jack o'connell stumble (literally) in a fee times.. What's not to love.

This is a great little pub. From the looks of the inside, it has had a makeover and looks good because of it. The beer is good with a nice selection and the Guiness is pretty good too. The staff all seem friendly enough and the pub is dog friendly which is a huge bonus for those with 4 legged companions. I've not eaten here so I cannot rate the food, however, from what I have seen, I would recommend the place.

We go to this pub when we visit relatives in Derby, an really love it. They have live music at the weekend and do a very delicious Sunday Lunch which is reasonably priced. Your order is taken and the food brought to you with a large dish of vegetables and an extra jug of gravy. One little bugbear was that there was not enough potatoes on our plates, but on request we were brought more at no extra cost. Deserts are lovely and very large, so beware!!! LOL. The hosts are excellent and very friendly people, as are the bar staff. Drinks are reasonably priced, too. I can highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for an excellent Sunday lunch and look forward to visiting again.
