Ye Olde Dolphin Inne in Derby

Popped in here for food whilst we had a short getaway and wow, the bar food was amazing. We didn't pre book as we were not sure where we were eating but this place saved the day. It was very busy but got served in a timely manner and ordered from the bar menu. Had a good selection of olives, bread, cheese, and other savoury veg items that were lovely. Would definitely recommend for a quick bite or drink.

Nice friendly bar staff with good recommendations of the local area, beer and snacks! Beautiful pub with lots of rooms and great amount of history. Would recommend

Lovely place. Very busy just before Christmas as to be expected. Good service and my dog was very interested.

Lovely place. The oldest pub around. But the beer was on point. Cracking little building with a lot of history. The place was clean. And the lad behind the bar was nice and friendly

I love this pub and the history behind it. This pub, Derby oldest pub, has remained remarkably original, with 16th century beams, heavy stone flooring, wood panelling and etched leaded windows. This was an old coaching inn, it is said to have been a stopping-off point for highwaymen including Dick Turpin. Several ghosts reputedly haunt the pub, which is a regular calling place for ‘Ghost Walks’ organised by local celebrity Richard Felix, who stars in the TV series ‘Most Haunted’. The stories of the history of the pub are made real by the ghosts that haunt the pub. From the boy that sits on the stairs, the Grey Lady that haunts the steak bar that the landlord himself, Jim Harris has witnessed; or it’s the flying Scotsman that runs up and down the corridor that breaks up the two buildings of the pub. Finally there’s the scariest of them all, the girl that lives in the cellar. A doctor who lived on site would dissect humans who have passed away in order to gain insight into the human body. One cold evening in the middle of the night a presumed dead girl opened her eyes and came back to life as the doctor was practicing his dissection skills. Every now and then the horrified screams of the girl can be heard in the dead of night.
