It attracts a wide range of customers
It's the home-cooked carvery and cask ales that make a canalside pub in Derbyshire so popular with Nottinghamshire Live readers. The Great Northern is only just over the border in Langley Mill and the licensees Kath and Ian Magill said because of the NG postcode, a lot of customers assume they're in Notts.
"It's always been a nice pub and the carvery has always been known. We have always liked it. It's a proper little hotspot out there in the summer. It's nice sitting there and watching the world go by, having a meal and a drink." Ian is a dab hand at pulling pints - currently Castle Rock's Elsie Mo, Blue Monkey's BG Sips and Primate bitter and Dancing Duck's Dark Drake. The former British Airways worker, who quit after 21 years and moved into the pub industry, said: "We like to use local breweries rather than the big nationals because everybody knows their beers. We're trying to get the local ones out there as well.
"We might be doing fish Friday and a burger deal on Saturdays," said Kath, who added it's the people that makes the Great Northern what is is. "We've got some nice people coming in," she said. Their demands included wiping out the National Debt but unfortunately, a government spy amongst them quashed the uprising soon after it began. Three men were hanged and beheaded and 14 were transported to Australia.
