Popular Wetherspoon's pub in the town centre, created in 2001 from the semi-derelict former Bass-owned Granville Arms. Named after the famous railway engine designer, scion of a local family, who was raised and buried at nearby Netherseal.

The large, open plan, main drinking area, with low ceilings and a green and burnt orange decor, inevitably features many pictures and photographs with a railway theme. Airy conservatory at side used mainly for dining; food served all day; alcoholic drinks available from 9am. Guest beers often from local microbreweries.

Children welcome throughout up to 9pm. Free public car parks nearby.

Information for this venue is provided by the Burton-on-Trent & South Derbyshire Branch of CAMRA
