A cosy, relaxed pub with a great selection of real ale. Perfect for an after work drink.

A true local institution, The Five Lamps sits just a short stroll from Derby city centre, at the iconic junction where five roads meet. This award-winning free house is renowned for its no-nonsense charm, warm atmosphere and outstanding beer selection — making it a go-to for both real ale enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.

Inside, you’ll find a traditional layout with wooden furnishings, friendly staff, and a crowd that reflects the best of Derby’s pub-going community. The real star here is the bar: with up to 12 cask ales and a rotating selection of craft and continental beers, there's always something new to try. The pub is frequently featured in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide and has earned a reputation for quality and consistency.

Food is hearty and unpretentious — think pies, pub classics, and Sunday roasts — served in generous portions and at a fair price. Whether you’re catching up with friends, looking for a quiet pint, or heading out on a Derby ale trail, The Five Lamps offers the kind of welcoming, well-kept pub experience that’s increasingly hard to find.
