I am sorry for writing this review as this pub has been around for years and normally our go too place for a quiet drink & catch up with friends. BUT this afternoon I would have given them 0 stars😡 (normally it would be *****) This afternoon it was full of kids screaming & shouting whilst their parents were drinking on other tables (away from their children) We came out with friends while our kids were being look after responsibly (🥰)). Although the staff were brilliant and the beer/wine as of good quality as normal, we might as well have all stopped at home and looked after our children (instead of paying for a bay sitter and saved some monies😭) I know we were in the pub for 16:00 on a Saturday but I don’t think a tradition Camera pub is the environment that young children should be in! After todays experience I think if you want to go out and enjoy a quite drink and a chat with friends you should go somewhere else (Although saying that Chesterfield is becoming as the Specials sang “A Ghost Town”) Again I am sorry for writing this review as the staff as always work so hard to normally make this a fantastic place for people who enjoy a good quality pint and usually has an excellent atmosphere 🫣😭😭

A real gem and now the best pub in Chesterfield town centre. It's nice and traditional inside and they've always got some decent ales on. There's always been a good vibe whenever I've been in (no thanks to me lol) and I've never seen any trouble. Highly recommended.

Popped in one lunchtime for a swift pint while waiting for a data transfer going on in the Vodafone shop... An excellent real ale pub just outside of the shopping centre of Chesterfield, about a five minute walk from the Market Place. Nice selection of real ales, well kept. Friendly staff. And a cosy little log-burner complementing the central heating.

Wandered in here while waiting for a bus. I wasn't sure it was open at first as it was quite gloomy inside however the friendly and cheerful landlord (I think) reassured me it was and beckoned me inside. The apparent "gloominess" was in fact part of the Halloween decorations. Had a pleasant pint of Neck Oil and sat down to enjoy the ambiance and a refreshing classic rock oriented playlist. There's not many pubs you walk in and can hear The Scorpions etc. playing. Would have happily stayed longer had I not had a bus to catch but I'll definitely pop in next time.

I used to love this pub when I lived in Chesterfield before leaving 4vyears ago. Went back on Friday, really looking forward to the warm cozy buzz that I remembered only to find that the character had somehow disappeared. Service was fine and there was a log fire too but it was almost empty when we went in at 9 oclock, and very few others came in. A victim of the pandemic perhaps?

Highly regarded by CAMRA, I found this real ale pub in the heart of Chesterfield to be disappointing, at least upon my visit in mid-October. None of the real ales was available, the only cask beer was "London Pride" - and that one turned out to be oxidized (It was taken off after I complained about it). Other than that it's certainly a nice traditional pub: spacious, with pleasingly comfortable décor, and friendly staff. Shame about the beer though.

No real ale here which is à bit of an own goal in my book. Clean and tidy but the loudish music detracts from the atmosphere. There is a comment on the Internet that they sell alot of Guinness,think this is the gall back for real ale drinkers,not that it's popular.

Siobhan was a super friendly and efficient server. Food good as always and good value, just a little small on the chip portions today. I scored low on the atmosphere as we were seated near the kitchen and they had their own music playing quite loud which at times sounded a bit drum and bass. This was highly irritating as it was also playing over the top of the 'in house' music. It was just a lot of stimulation whilst trying to have our own conversation over dinner.
