A lovely old pub. A Derby legend in drinking circles. I expected to enjoy the beers, that was obvious. What I didn't expect was to find such good honest food, at such a cheap price. Went for Graham's Ch Ch Ch, which was chips with chilli and some Stilton on top. Really tasty..at a reasonable price.
Many rooms as well as beers to choose from! Drink too much and you might get lost. Cannot remember all the beers I had here, but I do remember Caskablanca (Pour It Again Sam)!
They brew their own beer. -

The Brunswick Inn is one of the most outstanding real ale pubs in Derby, with no less than 16 hand pumped ales available. It is located just a three minute walk from Derby Midlands Station, but a little outside the city centre (10 minutes from Derby Bus Station e.g.). The pub has won many awards in previous years, and it's notable for it being split up into rooms of various sizes and shapes, ideal if you're with a small group and don't enjoy the rather noisy area around the bar. There's also a (modest) beer garden at the rear. Beers served include those made by its own house brewery.
The beers themselves are well-kept and fresh, which I've come to expect from a Cask Marque pub. The place can get noisy and very busy in the evening, and - to be blunt - some of the folks gathered there tend to be a little rough, if you know what I mean. I forgot a tablet there a year ago which never turned up - normally one would expect punters to hand in devices found on the premises, sadly this was not the case here.
So my impression of the crowd at The Brunswick might be a bit clouded - but it is certainly not as friendly and "family-like" a place as other real ale pubs in Derby, like The Flower Pot, The Five Lamps or The Exeter Arms.
The décor is rather low-key and traditional, but the smaller size of the rooms adjacent to the bar area do give it a cosy feeling.
Solely as a real ale pub it cannot be faulted. -

Really nice pub, great beers brewed here and lovely beer garden. Also prices are pretty cheap, the pinnacle of a pub.

Great pub. A favourite of mine and not just because it's dead close to the train station. Always come here.
Good selection of beers, ales (many are brewed in the onsite brewery), keg, craft and bottles plus a good selection of real ciders.
Decent menus but the cobs are a fair price.
Proper pub, built for chatting. Gets pretty busy on match days.
Ale is usually superb. -

This is a fabulous pub that brews its own real ale and serves food too. I spent a great hour or so in here as part of a crawl one day. Will visit again when next in Derby.
Well worth a visit to anyone that loves ale and traditional style pubs.
