Silk Mill Derby

You'll find this beauty tucked away on Full Street, housed in what was once a working silk mill – and the industrial bones still show in all the right ways. The exposed brick and high ceilings give it character that most city centre pubs can only dream of, whilst somehow managing to feel like your mate's front room rather than a tourist trap. The beer selection runs deep, with local breweries getting proper respect alongside the usual suspects. Come Sunday and the kitchen turns out roasts that'll have you booking next week's table before you've finished your Yorkshire pudding. It's the sort of place where you pop in for a quick pint after work and somehow find yourself three hours later, deep in conversation with the regulars about Derby County's latest disappointments.
