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.
The pub, which was built in 1875 and will celebrate its 150th anniversary in two years' time, prides itself on being a traditional watering hole with classic decor, a beamed ceiling and a pool table. Sitting just off the junction from the busy A610 between Ripley from Nottingham, it attracts a wide range of customers.
Dog walkers, boaters, people out for a stroll along the canal and locals pop in for a pint or a bite to eat - either the carvery on Wednesday evenings and Sundays or the main menu of steak, burgers, chicken tikka masala, fish and chips, baguettes and jacket potatoes.
