Derbyshire Food & Drink

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.

Formerly a derelict building but now home to a new cafe brought to you by the team behind the Grand Cafe Caruso in Derby. Time to pay a visit to Cafe Villabella.

With the easing of lockdown many small hospitality businesses are now able to open up, initially with outdoor services. One such venue to reopen is The Brunswick Inn in Derby, and I caught up with them to find out how the pandemic has affected the business and his hopes for the re-opening.

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.
