Rutland Arms - North East Derbyshire

It's rare that I get chance to visit pubs these days but on the odd occasion I do then this pub is my favourite. Open fire and country setting. Nice people and friendly atmosphere. Fab!

Fantastic traditional pub. Great atmosphere, friendly bar staff and good beer. Unfortunately it is far too easy to get very comfortable and stay all day!

A lovely pub. Good ale, well kept and served. Bread and dripping and pork pie on Fridays early bar. Very popular

This is a friendly cosy pub with an open fire. They serve real ale. Quiz night on a Monday night is popular, free fun quiz no cheating! followed by sandwiches and pork pie, good evening out.

The Rutland is a great little proper pub, is well used by walkers and locals alike and I have noticed that it has a very good early bar trade.It seems that food has to be organised in advance but although the pie and peas are to die for, it is not its main attraction. You always receive a warm welcome from the hardworking landlord and staff and there is an excellent choice of real ales. My favorite is Harvest Pale, which along with Black Sheep seem to be regulars, with a few others which seem to change on each visit. There is often something from the Bradfield Brewery, sometimes Farmers Blonde but also one of the fruity options, which are worth a try. It has a cosy atmosphere in winter and a large beer garden which is great, when the weather is better. With many pubs closing or turning into restaurants in the area, this is a real gem, worth supporting.
