Elms Inn, Burton upon Trent

36 Stapenhill Road, Stapenhill, Burton upon Trent, DE15 9AE (View on Google Map)

Lively locals pub overlooking the River Trent, on the opposite bank from the town centre.

Internally, sensitive renovation has retained the Victorian style towards the front, which comprises a small public bar and snug on either side of the bar, plus a small side room served through a hatch. In contrast, the lounge to the rear has recently been extended and refurbished in a more modern style.

While there is a disabled toilet off the lounge, wheelchair users will require assistance via the side entrance off Elms Road.

Street parking nearby can be awkward, but there is a public car park ~450m to south, off Stapenhill Road.

Historic Interest

Built as a private house in the late 19th century, this is one of Burton's original "parlour pubs". The "BEST BASS ELMS INN" lettering high on the front of the pub reflects its past ownership (until 1992).

Built as a house in the 1890s and later converted into a pub. The two narrow front doors have etched 'Elms Inn' panels on them and a passage with tiles laid diagonally runs to the rear with a hatch of no great age on the left and a 'Salt & Co's Burton Ales' mirror. On the left is the very small public bar with bare floorboards, a substantial Victorian counter with brackets decorated with acanthus leaves (painted green) and grapes (painted black) and fixed bare window seating. Note the two small 'vaults' panels on small screens on the top of either side of the counter and a good narrow 'Salt's Pale Ale' mirror. On the front right with wide gap from the passage is a small room with bare floorboards, good fixed seating (old, but age?), wood panelling above fixed seating but added when? Good wood surround fireplace with new stove. At rear middle left through a wide doorway is another tiny bar with very old, possibly Victorian counter, old dado, fireplace lost (new dado panelling instead) - looks like a room since it was a pub but there is no bar back. Extended to the rear where a wide doorway leads to a large room with a flagstone-like tiled floor.
