The Nags Head, Killamarsh

On the Spring bank holiday Monday an American BBQ was held at the Nags Head in Killamarsh, reflecting the Texan roots of Mary, who runs the pub with husband Martin. Customers enjoyed huge portions of smoky ribs and brisket, washed down with beer from Drone Valley Brewery at just £2 per pint. Unfortunately the weather was typically British bank holiday – it poured down with rain, so the intended garden party was held indoors, with those in attendance entertained by live music. The pub hosts regular live music nights and a single handpump offers real ale on a permanent basis. Nick Williams
