An industrial unit with a patio area and even a food van serving Indian food at our visit. Inside there is a stage (a decent singer on) with three dart boards, a pool table and TVs (not on). Service was good and a mixed clientele were in. Six pulls with three Brew City and three from the Brunswick Brewery in Derby. Nothing on the dark front so had a Usual and a Triple Hop from Brunswick but they were only OK (flat). Tried half of Brew City's keg MILD but tasted like first pull. Disappointed with the beer on the day but would give it another go.

Typical industrial-estate outfit, with the brewery and taproom sharing quite a spacious unit and enough room out front for some wooden benches. Two rows of canteen-style tables in the centre, with lounge seats along one side wall, brewing vessels along the other and a basic counter at the far end. A wide range of craft beers available from taps on the bar-back, including nine of theirs (e.g. the Lichfield Brown Ale, £5.00), a Seacider from a box in the back room and a seemingly disused handpump.
