Built in 1772 and a pub since 1828, the beamed ceilings and stone walls give the main bar a cosy, old world atmosphere. Small snug area, dining room and function room gives space for both drinkers and diners. Home cooked meals are served 12-9 everyday. There is live music every Friday and Saturday night, and Sky Sports and TNT Sports on a big screen in the downstairs cellar bar. Large sunny beer garden at rear with separate covered smokers' area, overlooking the adjacent large mill pond. Cromford is in the Derwent Mills World Heritage site.

Five cask ales are available on weekends.
