The Canal Inn Bullbridge, Derbyshire, DE56 2FL

  • 7 bedrooms

Home-brewed ales and Air-Conditioned bedrooms

The Canal Inn is tucked away in the small village of Bullbridge and has all the ingredients for an interesting pub stay: comfortable bedrooms upstairs, good food, and home-brewed beers. Beer is a particularly good reason to visit. The 14 Lock Brewery creates its own ales and seasonal brews on site. Its name pays tribute to the historic canal that once ran through Bullbridge, originally designed with 14 locks and four tunnels. The location opens up plenty of Derbyshire adventures too. Crich Tramway Village, Heage Windmill and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site are all nearby, while Cromford, Matlock Bath and the Peak District make rewarding days out.

Food & Drink

Food and beer go hand in hand at The Canal Inn. The menu mixes familiar favourites with newer dishes, while burgers, pizza and lighter choices broaden the selection. There is plenty of temptation afterwards, with a selection of homemade puddings. But what really gives The Canal Inn its own identity is what happens beneath the floorboards. The 14 Lock Brewery has its home in a specially adapted cellar underneath the pub, where the head brewer creates house ales, seasonal beers and festive brews.
