The team at the Dead Poets Inn, located on Chapel Street in Holbrook, are celebrating after retaining their title of Amber Valley CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2025.
To mark their achievement, the Derbyshire Times visited the Dead Poets Inn to learn more about the pub – including the range of real ales they have on offer and the venue’s new beer garden.
These photos show what you can expect from the pub – will you be making plans to visit at any point over the coming weeks?
9. Recruitment
Natasha said: “We’ve got about 10 members of staff in total, but we’ll be starting to recruit. We’ve got some lovely young people that are moving on in their careers - it’s been lovely to have them for a short time, but we’re going to start recruiting soon.” Photo: Brian Eyre
10. Regular events
Natasha added: “We run a successful quiz night on the first Wednesday of every month, and live music on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. We have our June beer festival coming up, which is classed as a sausage and cider festival, and is taking place on June 20 I believe. We’re also looking forward to an amazing summer in our new beer garden.” Photo: Brian Eyre
