Set in a 300-year-old building at the heart of Derby’s Sadler Gate, The Shakespeare combines historic character with contemporary style. Following a thoughtful refurbishment in 2023, the inn features a Scandinavian-style courtyard, a chic multi-level interior and an adventurous American-style menu. Choose from gourmet burgers and other substantial dishes, or settle in with cocktails by the fire in the orangery-like garden. Live music and bottomless brunch add to its lively, modern pub atmosphere.
