The Blue Jay is one of Marston's new style large dining pubs built at the junction of Raynesway and the A6/A50 link road. The pub is a large L-shape with the dining area across the front of the building and a more traditional pub area heading to the back of the building. An outdoor patio area is at the front and a garden area to the side.

It serves customers with daily carvery and is open for breakfasts at the weekend. The pub is a very family friendly but can get a little crowded at the weekend and busy festive periods. ideal for travellers or locals wanting a meal and a rest.

Information for this venue is provided by the Derby Branch of CAMRA
