What Carol G likes about Half Moon Inn:
Good music and good value drinks. Have not been for a very long time and it has changed since I last went (no longer serves food and more open plan than it was). Won't leave it as long until I next go, View all feedback. What niffenhelm doesn't like about Half Moon Inn:
Absolute utter rubbish sums up just about everything in this pub. Terrible food, terrible beer, a landlord that couldn't care less about his business or staff and very strange wife swapper customers. It's almost like someone made an effort to make this place the worst pub in derby. View all feedback.

Amazing food and service for my sons christening party today. Can't thank Dave and the team enough. Everyone commented on how good the food was. I...

Great place. Really. I've atmospheric my only negative is its to hot and no ventilation

Gone really down hill, food stopped and open mic has finished. Staff behind the bar are great but management are non existent and rarely around

Was looking forward to a soul night tonight, but then I found out it had been cancelled.

Been a few times and was made to feel really welcome

The Half Moon pub presents a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons appreciate its charming garden, competitive prices, and a selection of decent pub food, others bemoan the lack of organization and indifferent service, particularly during larger gatherings. The friendly staff strive to make the best of unfortunate situations, yet inconsistencies in service and menu changes have led some to seek alternatives. Despite its flaws, patrons enjoy its inviting atmosphere and good value drinks, making it a popular spot for casual meetups. Overall, the Half Moon serves as a reliable yet unremarkable choice for dining and relaxation in Derby.
