As part of a new series highlighting the people that run our local pubs and bars, we went to meet the team running the popular Barley Mow bar on Saltergate in Chesterfield.

We caught up with landlord Adrian Matthews, landlady Sarah Matthews and manager Eloise Bestwick to find out what makes the pub such a popular destination.

The pub, which has been undergoling external rennovations recently, is always a riot of colour in the summer, thanks to fantastic hanging baskets of flowers outside.
