Got to be up there amongst the best pubs around. Pure quality from the ales (I had Pheasantry Pale) to the food (cheeses & pies) and the decor with all the pub paraphernalia. Top class atmosphere from the regulars and staff working here. Sorry I had to move on.

This little gem of a pub is a wonderful place to meet people, enjoy some magnificent real ale and enjoy the authentic atmosphere.

Good range of Real ales, cosy atmosphere, but if you want fantastic pork pies or cheese, this place is a must , as the various assortments of detectables, are delicious, and would recommend %100. This is the first time I have had pork pie in a pub ,which is not a restaurant and it goes down a treat , enjoy yourselves. ?

The best micropub in Ilkeston, and one of the best I have ever been to. Excellent choice of beers, friendly atmosphere and staff. Give the chilled cabinet a look, and get proper cheese, pork pie and other deli delights. Brilliant!

Popped in for a quick pint, wine and to buy some cheese and pork pie. Everyone in there looked happy, a great atmosphere with music, small bar but has all you need. Landlord is amazing, so friendly and engaging. We've been a number of times as a couple or with mates, same experience every time. Nice and quirky layout, slightly off the main route into town but definitely worth a drop in.

Lovely little pub tucked out of the way of the high street, much bigger than we expected it to be as it has three separate seating areas. Super cosy, unique and a great choice of drinks and snacks. This was our first visit but it definitely won't be our last!
Superb back street micropub serving traditional cask ales, still/ fizzy cider, craft beer and lager. Pork pies, cheese, sausage rolls and other deli items are for purchase, either eat in or take away. Ben and the staff are very welcoming and will assist with the wide variety of ales on offer according to your taste.

Amazing little pub serving locally brewed beers supporting many small breweries. A cosy atmosphere with gourmet pies, cold snacks and cheeses...a little gem in the backstreets of Ilkeston town centre.♥️Wheelchair accessibility: it's all ground floor access

A lovely little gem in a quiet corner. I have often walked or driven past only to think "I'll pop in there one of these days".Recently my local got flooded, which was terrible of course. However, this gave me a push to finally give 'the burnt pig' a go.I was not disappointed, in fact I was so impressed I have returned twice since. With each experience better than the last.From the 1st visit, 'Ben and co' were so very warm, welcoming. Ben is especially charming and humorous.The patrons are cheerful and the atmosphere is as if being transported to a bygone era in this quaint and qwerty setting, where everyone loves engaging in eachothers company. Even if you just want a quiet drink in the corner, there's just a positive charge in the air.Not to mention the ale and the whiskey selection and quality are outstanding, especially given the relatively small bar.Before I forget, massive fridge with a vast selection of cheese, pork pies, pastries and beers to take away.Hats tipped and off. Well done!

As the hubby and myself were in Derby for a few nights, we went around the county with a Derbyshire Wayfarer and one of the places we visited was the Burnt Pig in Ilkeston. A small pub with the bar just on your right as you came in, we were made very welcome. A decent selection of real ales and dog friendly. There was a fridge next to the bar where you could purchase cheeses, pasties and pies so we got some to take home with us. Well worth a visit.
