New pub outside Derbyshire town set to officially open its doors next month

A new venue, the Pickled Pear at the Old Post Office, is set to officially open its doors next month on Main Street, Palterton.

In a Facebook post, a spokesperson for the new venue said: “We're not officially open yet, but please like and follow for the latest updates and offers from the Pickled Pear and keep an eye out on here for future updates when we announce our opening day (hopefully early to mid Feb 2024).

“For now, we are open on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6.00pm until 10.00pm.

“Please be aware that, as the pub is located on a narrow residential street, we don't have parking. Access to the pub will be on foot, bicycle or taxi only. This is to ensure minimal disruption to local residents' day-to-day. We look forward to seeing you soon.”

In a planning application received by North East Derbyshire District Council last year, Adam Taylor, the applicant, gave an idea of what would be on offer at the venue.

He said: “The micropub will sell local beer and spirits, along with traditional non-alcoholic beverages including freshly ground coffee and speciality tea. I will not be preparing food on premises; however, I do intend to provide pre-prepared pork pies alongside traditional pub snacks.”

Mr Taylor added: “I own the holiday let next-door and as such have no intention of allowing the micropub to be noisy. I intend to provide traditional wooden board games, books etc to entice a more discerning customer to the premises.”
