Quinno _ left this review about Duke of York
Wraparound Joules place with two bars. Wonky beams, log fires and a nice old skool country inn vibe. Four on, my Pale was fag end (NBSS 2.5) and the Belgian Fruit was a rank cardboardy mess (1.5) – the first I can forgive but the second I can’t. Why are so many Joules pus incapable of managing their cask correctly?

Nice old Joules pub with Pale ale, Pure Gold and Slumbering Monk on. The Pale ale and the gold were fine.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Duke of York
Solid terraced pub, claiming to be Lichfield's oldest pub (as does the Kings Head), now a Joule's house, with a split-level public bar at the front and a more comfortable lounge to the rear. Both rooms are as traditionally furnished and decorated as you would expect. There is also another smaller room (looking like a covered former yard) on one side of the latter and a patio beer garden to the other. I found three of the brewery's own beers - Pale Ale, Pure Blonde (£3.15) and Slumbering Monk - plus Pure Black IPA from Tiny Rebel as a guest and Rosie's Pig cider from a total of nine handpumps on the two counters. Well worth the short walk out from the town centre.
