The Five Lamps - Derby

We had a 50th party at the five lamps. the outside area was perfect and the log burner made it extra warm on a chilly November evening. Jess and John were very accommodating and the good platter of their lovely pork pies, scotch eggs and big cheese board went down a treat. Everyone commented about the great selection of beers and all the staff went out of their way to make the evening run well. Great job 5 lamps team, our new favourite pub

8pm on a Saturday night and the place is almost empty. Apart from a group of young people whose squeals are just annoying. Whilst we really like the improvements made to the decor of the pub since its change of management (apart from the fake trees and other greenery and the very low watt lightbulbs) the change to the quality of the beer is a great shame. The Oakham Citra used to be the best pint of Citra you could get. I aways said the Oakham tap couldn't beat it. That is no longer true. The Citra is no better than that served anywhere else in Derby. The prices have risen too and that mediocre pint of Citra was a whole £1 more than the one we had earlier. And no CAMRA discount either! We also miss some of the old locals and wonder where they've been pushed put to? We'd like to join them! The Five Lamps has changed from a great community pub to yet another city centre pub full of young people. Our Fridays night drinking sessions after work have been changed forever.

The pub was extremely busy during this time of year, with many customers enjoying drinks. Despite the crowds, I was able to order a pint and find a spot outside, which was covered.

Very spacious Traditional pub , friendly staff and a good selection of ales. We went during the day and l think it was mainly locals.

Not a bad place but for saying it’s on the inner ring road with traffic flying past the kitchen is mostly closed and the beer is far too expensive
