The Crossing, Burton On Trent Town, Burton on Trent

This pub has gone downhill. It used to be a bikers/rock pub, which was great. Since it changed hands, firstly to Duffys, then back to the Royal Oak it has lost it's way, and atmosphere. They are trying to get the clientel back. I feel it is too much too little too late. Boring, boring, boring. That is all i can say about this pub. Shame really as it used to be a good pub. As far as i'm aware there isn't any trouble, probably because hardly anybody goes there anymore. If you want a nice quiet drink, then this is the place for you. If you want to catch up on that crucial beauty sleep after a hard days graft, then this is also the place.

I don't know what it is about Burton pubs. Since alot of them have decided to re-vamp, and go posh they have completely lost their atmosphere and clientel. This is yet another sad case of this. Nice decor and interior. Where has the atmosphere gone? Where are the public, that should use the PUBLIC HOUSES? Once again a huge bore fest and dissapointment. I am not overly old, but when i was younger, the public houses in Burton used to be packed. The masses seem to prefer the New Clubs and theme bars now. The old pubs have lost their way.
