We got to the Five Lamps regularly. It has very much the feel of a London pub. Excellent choice of beer and cider. Great staff and atmosphere. Different events throughout the month. Highly recommend.
We regularly go here when we do an ale trail around derby. They always have a good selection of real ales and ciders. Usually very busy which is a sign they are doing a good job. Sometimes they have inexperienced staff (maybe student workers) on the bar who don’t know about the real ales but all staff are always friendly
Simply a great friendly pub, large selection of beers and good quality pub food. In an area with very good real ale pubs nearby, this one holds its own quite comfortably. Recently refurbished and with a change of management the 'Lamps' is a worthy destination. Enjoy. M
Been here a few times and enjoy this smashing pub. Just outside Derby city, but easy walking distance and on many bus routes. Beer great, had a lovely pint of Bass today. When I’ve eaten here in the past the food has been good too. Staff friendly and polite. Car park at rear and an outdoor seating area. Well recommended 😀
Been meaning to visit for months, unfortunately on the previous attempt we found it shut.... turns out that the previous landlord had moved on. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, Brown Ales Pub Company has took over and massively invested in the place. Judging by previous pictures the changes have been hugely beneficial, it's got a similar feel to a London pub (without the London prices) modern but warm and inviting, the garden has also had a massive revamp, it's got two sections, an undercover non smoking side and an enlarged open air side that's fully surrounded by glass.....it's also one of the hottest places I've ever been in the summer...and I've been to Egypt and Morocco! The beer range seems to have also improved, they still have a few lagers on alongside a couple of traditional cask ales; however, there's now an excellent range of craft beer from the likes of Pentrich, Black Iris, Shiny, Polly's, Deya etc alongside modern cask from Two by Two, Pentrich, Bang the Elephant, Full Circle etc. Full meals have gone, replaced by quality snacks such as Scotch Eggs, pork pie, cheese boards, olives etc, in my opinion it's definitely the way forward. They've recently (May 2023) started limited tap takeovers/beer festivals with external food trucks in the garden. The GM and staff seem to understand current drinking preferences, what makes a beer and a decent pub... which is awesome. Alongside the Furnace and Flowerpot this side of Derby is absolutely worth visiting.
