I had to choose between here and the Coopers Arms for a final pub visit and dreams of pork pie brought me here. Loved my Pork and Chorizo Pie, but really liked the pub too.

Evening. Who can resist speciality pork pies from Hartland? So greedy guts partook of both Pork & Blue Stilton and Pork & Bury Black Pudding varieties.

Not my fave Burton Bridge bitter, too strong tasting for me for quite a light ABV.

I enjoyed this. Thought it would be a typical Yorkshire beer in the Landlord mould but actually a fresh, pleasant bitter with pleasant aftertaste and nice aroma.

One of my favourite session ales at a favourite pub, found this slightly off kilter and not as zesty as normal. Not convinced I got the right pint!
Burton Bridge - Bridge Bitter
4.20
Nice pint of Bridge. I always find this pint a bit generic though
The pub is found in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 1BT.
Nice town pub with atmosphere and real ales. 2 separate bars served from a central servery. 4 handpumps on each of the counters in the public and saloon bars.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 9 different beers and tried 6 of them.
