Derbyshire Micropubs

One of the latest examples of a derelict building being brought back into use, time to enjoy a drink at Belper House micropub.

In what would be my first new micropub visit for 2½ years I visit The Hole In The Wall, a former bank turned small watering hole in the Derby suburb of Mickleover.

The market town of Belper in Derbyshire now houses a small number of micropubs. Right by the town’s market place is Belper’s first micropub – The Angels.

It’s 2013 and I’m about to make my first ever visit to a micropub, and the place in question for my first visit to such an establishment was the Little Chester Ale House in Derby. Fast forward to 2019 and I decide to make another visit to this particular micropub.

They do say that ‘small is beautiful’, a saying that is most certainly the case when it comes to micropubs. Small is especially true in regards to Derby micropub The Last Post, a former small post office now delivering a different type of service in the form of real ale (plus other drinks).

Located in the Derbyshire town of Long Eaton is a small grade two listed building known as York Chambers, and in December 2015 the building opened up as the towns first micropub.
