The Crafty One in Erewash

After spending an hour or so visiting the Ilkeston Heritage and Classic Vehicle Show which was held on the Market Place it was time for a spot of refreshment. Warm and friendly greeting from the person behind the bar, tables well laid out with good decoration, I love these kind of places, no gimmicks, people talking to each other and a a very good pint of beer.

Always a warm welcome , great craft beers and an unrivalled selection of hard to find bottles and cans.

Nice micro pub. Decent selection of beers. Bottle shop to the side of the bar with a wide range of beers but some of the prices are exceptionally high. £6+ for a can of beer might be ok in Scandinavia, they don’t have any potholes in their roads.

A great little pub with a good range of beers, and an extensive range of ciders too (rare for this sort of place). Very friendly knowledgeable staff. A great pub & they’ve got a decent bottle shop for take out too

loved all the different ciders, favourite one is rhubarb. Nice owner, we was made to feel very welcome. Great modern decor. well worth a try.

real ale and ciders in an upmarket setting, light and airy. you can also buy take out bottles. no foor offering apart from snacks, friendly.
