Wetherspoons' food gets worse. Beer was OK though.

The pub is found in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, ST14 8HN.

The earliest map of Uttoxeter, drawn in 1629, records that the home of Peter Lightfoot, a local man of letters, stood on this site. Lightfoot's house had previously been the Old Swan Inn. Alongside was another timber-framed building, owned and occupied by Thomas Salt, which stood, at least partly, on this site. This is the nearest JDW pub to Alton Towers.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 10 different beers and tried 4 of them.
