Malt Shovel

Characterful old pub with a tiny bar and small low-ceilinged rooms off a central corridor. These are full of interest and thankfully survived the trend of twenty or more years ago to strip out interior wall and features in order to 'modernize' (i.e. to produce something akin to the lounge bar of a mid-range industrial estate hotel). Essentially a village pub, but also attracts those from further afield who want to enjoy a quiet pint or two in the sort of charming surrounding that can only be created by time. One of the Derby area's few pub gems of its kind.
