Blue Tier descent with a pub lunch
/
A local institution - The Weldborough Hotel
You’ve had an early start, bombed it down The Blue Tier trail and need a place to park you and your bike down for a feed.
Look no further than The Weldborough an old and charming country pub which dates back to 1860. With rustic wooden tables nestled under the trees, this quaint beer garden is a lunchtime oasis for mountain bikers.
It’s the perfect place to take a break with your mates, and enjoy comparing note and highlights of the exhilarating Blue Tier trail. It’s close enough to the surrounding towns for friends and family to come down and join you for lunch before you head back onto Atlas.
Live music features in the pubs sprawling outdoor beer garden
“One of the most iconic rides in the Derby network is a morning ride down the Blue Tier, lunch at the Weldborough and an afternoon ride down Atlas and back to Derby. Our job at the pub is simple (but not easy! If it was Mission Possible, I wouldn’t need to look like Tom Cruise) - provide riders with a quality pub meal featuring the best Tassie produce and all washed down with a selection of local craft beers, ciders or ginger ales. Fuel for the afternoon ride down Atlas”
craft beer (and great food) is the pubs speciality
Fill your boots with everything from hearty steak sandwiches, burgers and big bowls of potato wedges, all of which can be washed down with an interesting selection of local micro-brewed craft beers, ginger beers and ciders - enjoy being spoilt for choice to name a few: Little Rivers, Ironhouse, Willie Smith, Moo Brew, Ocho, Miners Gold, Hobart Brewing Co, Pagan Cider, Plenty Cider, Gillespie's, Spreyton Fresh, Boekamp, 9th Island, Joseph Chromy, Devils Corner, Holm Oak, Bell & Gong, Priory Ridge, Launceston Distillery, Overeem, Hellyers
Located on the main road to the east coast from Derby, the pub is easy to find
