We popped in for Sunday Lunch on spec on Father’s Day. It was very quiet but we had an excellent Sunday roast and the choice of beer and wine was good.Food: 5/5
Nice pub, very quiet at the time of my visit, but has a great range of beers and different seating areas ranging from a lounge, snug, public bar to outside beer garden. And like its sister pub The Salutation in Nottingham, very dog friendly.Service: 5/5
Derbys oldest pub, not THE best pub in my humble opinion but well worth visiting. Has an olde worlde feel. Good range of real ales in a choice of historic rooms. One minor niggle is the Gents are overdue an upgrade but don't let that put you off visiting.Enjoy. M
Decent community pub in Derby whose mail claim to fame is the fact! that it's the town's oldest public house c. 1520. I usually advise people against frequenting establishments whose name begins with "Ye Olde", as they are often tourist traps the Nottingham Castle one is one particularly annoying example or use their history to make up for other deficiencies. The cask ale selection is not too limited around half a dozen handpumps , but during my visit several of those weren't available, and the ones that were weren't terribly interesting. The seating is split into a number of smaller areas, so it's not a place for larger groups but it's a good thing if you wanna meet up with family or friends. But, given that Derby is a town of many more interesting pubs, beer-wise, I simply cannot recommend Ye Olde Dolphin except for grabbing a quick pint.
Visited Saturday 21st January 2023 early evening. Derby's oldest surviving pub dating from the late 16th century with 18th century additions into what was a doctor's, the doctor in question allegedly performed autopsies on those hanged at Derby gaol. Architecturally and historically it's hugely significant, hence it's listed status. Unfortunately beer wise it's not particularly great, it's all a bit macro, brown and twiggy as far as cask beer goes with everything else being macro lager and spirits. It's internal layout is small ish rooms, this in combination with it's city centre location means it gets incredibly busy. Personally I'd visit around midday, have a beer and appreciate the history and architecture, I wouldn't necessarily visit any other time, or if I wanted a great beer selection.
We've been to this pub many of times 3+ years ago before it was revamped recently. The head chef here Steve is a valuable asset to Ye Olde Dolphin inn, alert, catering to needs and food was amazing.Food: 5/5
Oldest pub in Derby and rich with history. Love that they haven't changed much, because it's a Derby treasure! If you're looking for a quaint English pub, this one checks all the boxes!Service: 5/5
Very nice pub oldest in derby live music great food everything you needFood: 5/5
Beer was good, a few off tap. The cider seemed watered down and the food was disappointing. The 'Mega Grilled Cheese' was done in a toastie machine with unmelted cheese in the middle, the lasagna looked and tasted like a readymade frozen one - which was dry and burnt. The Mini Fish and Chips seemed alright but was more chip than fish. The building is lovely but not well run.
Great old boozer with front and back bar. Good selection of ales on tap. Very traditional feel pub. The jukebox still needs attention and should be updated to an NSM digital.
