Marston's Pedigree and Timothy Taylor's Landlord are always on offer alongside a changing selection of other real ales.
We only sell real ales, so if you want draught beer you will be disappointed and we don't do meals (but you're welcome to bring in your own take-aways!)
We do have snacks such as crisps, nuts and pork scratchings and usually have Organic Seed and Bean Chocolate and Soundbite's yummy Snax in the City
DE MIRABILIBUS PECCI
An Exhibition of Mixed Media Paintings by Christine Gray
In 1626, Enlightenment Philosopher Thomas Hobbes, toured the Peak District in the company of the Second Earl of Devonshire. He described the places he visited as 'Wonders' and was inspired to write the poem, De Mirabilibus Pecci, which was translated to English in 1678. This poem inspired early tourists to visit one of Britain's most popular destinations.
I have followed in Hobbes footsteps and explored the areas that Hobbes enjoyed, using a mixture of collage, paint and drawing, I have painted his favourite places in the Peak District. Hobbes's 'Wonders' included Chatsworth House, Peak Cavern, Tideswell and Buxton.
I have also included some of my favourite places in the Peak District and the UK, ranging from Belper where I now live, through Matlock to the White Peak, to some favourite places from my native Anglesey.
