Lunchtime and just a couple of other groups in, despite being owned by a small brewery group it still bore a clinical corporate feel to it.

The pub is found in Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS13 6JJ.

Derby Brewing Company's first pub outside Derbyshire, in Tamworth Street, with the central bar featuring six Derby handpumps. A number of craft keg beers are also offered. The interior features modern, fairly muted décor, with painted wooden panels and bare brickwork chimney breasts. There's a beer terrace to the rear, also done out in a fairly plain, monochrome style. Workers in the hospitality industry get a discount on ales. Closed when owning company went into administration in 2023.

We have visited this pub once, seen 4 different beers and tried 1 of them.
