Good value for money. The parking is behind the pub and the road surface is rough. There are no designated parking for disabled.

There is some the seating that I snot so hard and uncomfortable but they go quick. There is a steep uneven pathway up to the pub itself.

The Brunswick Inn is one of the most outstanding real ale pubs in Derby, with no less than 16 hand…read morepumped 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.

If this was my place I would be looking to replace the staff!

The Carvery is what you would expect (not great) but reasonable value. My experience of food from the menu is that it is poor (I had to send my LAST meal back) and over priced but it may improve once it has been open a while. In summary good selection of Beers but not a drinkers pub, and average/poor food.

This pub has a homely feel and is popular with families at weekends and holidays. The pub also has a large beer garden at the back which overlooks the river (with some weeds in the way). The pub has the usual range of beers on offer but also now offers pub meals, however, these are the usual standard pub meals fare. The pub also does a basket option should you want to have a meal outside. These are very expensive for what you get, so I would suggest you come inside the pub to eat.

This is such a charming pub. Well worth the trek I had to…read morefind it. It looks fantastic, a real gem and had such friendly people on both sides of the bar. I've got a smile on my face just writing about it! The selection of ales was a relatively familiar one, with a tasty exception in Golden Pippen, delicious. They had 5 others, including a couple that have to be brought up from the cellar in a jug (a few places locally do this and boast of doing this..not quite sure why it is such a big deal). Was surprised and happy to see Dark Star Hophead so far from home too. Quite a bit of food choice, including a selection of pies. I braved the game pie as it contained venison and pheasant, neither of which I had previously sampled. This was nice too. The pub really can do no wrong! It was seriously difficult tearing myself away from the Hollybush, to try some other local pubs.

The fairly cluttered layout identifies it as a historic pub, there are several designated areas so it won't get *too* loud even when busy [which it mostly is in the evenings]. Good food, wide variety of real ales and ciders on tap (large rather than particularly distinguished on my visit), good atmosphere. It's a 10 minute walk from the nearest bus station in Milford, a little remote and easy to miss (God bless Google Maps!). Very popular with the locals. There are several good pubs within a short radius (this one, the Strutt-on-Arms & the King Williams IV). Get a zig-zag ticket on the Sixes buses from Derby so you can hop on and off at the various stops of your crawl.
