Smart micropub (opened May 2016) in a terrace of commercial properties close to the station.
The comfortable single room, with wooden flooring and furniture, features a small bar counter towards the rear, with the stillage visible beyond through a glass door and window. A short corridor (up one step) leads to the toilets and garden. Framed pictures (a mixture of historical and drink-related) and mirrors adorn the walls.
Open Bank Holiday Mondays; also open Tuesday evenings and earlier (11am) on Saturdays when Burton Albion are playing at home.
Current and pending beers, together with currently available ciders/perries, are listed on boards on the wall near the bar. Spirits, wines and soft drinks are also offered, as are snacks in the form of filled cobs and a range of organic pork pies.
No pub car park, but there are public car parks near the railway station and free street parking may be found nearby (time limited up to 7pm).
