About This Pub

Ah, Silver Ghost in Derby – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its friendly charm and welcoming feel. From what I've gathered from folks' chats online, the staff really shine; they're always up for a chat and make everyone feel like part of the gang, which is just what you want after a long day. It's spot on for get-togethers too – whether it's a family do in the private room or a casual night out, the atmosphere gets lively and people seem to have a right good time, all at prices that won't sting your wallet. But, let's keep it real, it's not all pints and cheers; there have been a few grumbles about things like booking blunders, where food promised for an event just didn't show up, leaving folks in a bit of a pickle. And if you're a beer buff, the selection might feel a tad limited, plus that heating issue could turn a cosy evening into a sweaty one. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or social event, as long as you go in with eyes open to those little niggles – I'd say it's worth a visit for the good vibes, just maybe double-check any plans beforehand.

Had a wake on the 12th I booked it just before Christmas asked for buffet food turned up on the day of the wake no food and no staff had any idea of food being made. We had to go out and provide our own food on the day of our grandads funeral wasn't impressed at all. There was obviously some miscommunication from management to the staff. Staff was absolutely amazing specially the lady with the glasses (didn't get her name) she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She fulfilled our needs on music and drinks thank you so much
