This well-loved, privately-owned free house, dating back to the late 19th century, offers a stunning view of the Dove Valley and Tutbury Castle from its expansive rear patio. The establishment features two split-level rooms, a public bar, and a lounge, all of which exude a warm, homey atmosphere. These areas are catered to from a bar that is also split-level in design. Additionally, there is a spacious dining room situated at the rear of the property. Notably, this pub holds the distinction of being the only one in the region that has consistently offered Draught Burton Ale since its introduction by Ind Coope (based in Burton) in 1976. This loyalty has continued through to the ale's 2015 revival by Burton Bridge. This commitment to tradition and quality makes this free house a unique and cherished establishment in the area.
