About the Pub
Note the unusual old stained glass fanlight above the inside front entrance door.
Regular beers are served through 5 hand-pumps at the front of the bar. Changing beers are served through 6 hand-pumps mounted on the wall behind the bar counter in the rear section of the pub, where a glass-fronted 3x3 array of 9 firkins containing these beers can be seen.
The extensive food menus include hot meals and snacks, pizzas, vegan options and children's dishes.
While there is some concentration on food, the two sections towards the rear of the pub (on the left) are set aside for drinkers.
Monthly quiz nights on a Thursday, but these may become weekly if sufficiently popular.
The Burton Folk Club meets here on Friday evenings.
Dogs are allowed on the patio and in the garden, but NOT inside the pub (with the exception of assistance dogs).
Historic Interest
Built as a coaching inn/hotel in the 1880s and named after the nearby brewery. The latter was built in 1874 and bought by Marston's from Mann, Crossman & Paulin in 1902. Still referred to locally as the Albion Hotel, but it is not known when accommodation ceased to be available; best guess is the 1920s!
