Set in a prime Derby city centre location opposite Derbion (Derby’s biggest shopping and entertainment complex) and within a short walk of Derby County Football Club, the Royal Telegraph can attract a wide mix of customers – from shoppers and circuit drinkers to sports fans and families.

A major investment is set to transform the Royal Telegraph, Derby, introducing the Grandstand concept to this city-centre site – a bold, sports‑led proposition built around standout screens, big‑game atmosphere, great food and a welcoming community feel. Designed so every fixture feels like an occasion (while still being a pub people can enjoy any day of the week), this investment will position the Royal Telegraph as a go‑to destination in Derby.

The pub is open plan with a striking central horseshoe bar, creating natural zones for casual drinks, dining and big‑screen viewing.

Outside, you’ll find an external courtyard and a large car park – a real advantage for a city-centre operation.

The proposed investment is due to take place in October 2026, but the pub is available from July, which will give the successful candidate the opportunity to recruit sports teams, introduce weekly events, i.e. quiz, bingo, etc. and establish a loyal customer base pre-closure for the investment.

With huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food & drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, the Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. They don’t just show sport – they live it. From matchdays to live music and big sporting moments, Grandstand pubs are where local communities and fans come together, and where your next partnership could start.

Live sport will be central to the future offer, with the Royal Telegraph already well placed as a Derby County supporters' pub. From DCFC matchdays to major tournaments, cup runs and headline sporting events, Grandstand is all about creating shared moments through immersive viewing and an electric atmosphere. This will be supported by a landlord 's-branded Grandstand menu, featuring sports‑inspired favourites, bar snacks and crowd‑pleasers designed to drive trade throughout the week – not just on matchdays.

The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, an office, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It's a big space for city centre living.
