17th-century pub and Burton's oldest running brewery tap. Home to Heritage Brewing Company (formerly in the National Brewing Centre) and Burton Bridge Brewery who have been producing ales on site behind the pub since 1982. Eight ales are available along with specialist bottles from all over the world.

It has two rooms served from a central bar. The smaller front room, with wooden pews, displays many awards, brewery memorabilia, and some old framed maps of Burton. The partly divided back room features oak beams and panels. A small function room and a skittle alley are upstairs and available for hire. There is a decent sized brewery yard garden and private meeting rooms which are available for hire.

Brewery tours are available with prior booking.

No car park, but public car parks are nearby, accessed off High Street.

Historic Interest

Dating back to 17th-century, the pub was bought by Bass from the Marquis of Anglesey in the early 19th-century when it was known as the Fox & Goose Inn. After the pub had been closed for ~2 years, the premises were bought by the founders of the Burton Bridge Brewery in 1981; the brewery and the Burton Bridge Inn opened in 1982.

Restoration

This C17 pub fronts the Burton Bridge Brewery and opened in 1982. it has two rooms served from a central bar offering ales from the brewery at the rear. The multi-roomed design shows a great treasuring of old pub values. At the front are two small rooms separated by a fireplace, one housing the bar and with wooden pews. The partly-divided back room features oak beams and wood panelling. A small function room and an excellent skittle alley are upstairs. The pub was joint Best Refurbishment Winner CAMRA Pub Design Awards in 2001.
