This pub appeared to have acquired new owners, who were feeling their way into things at the time of my visit. The pub was looking very spruce and there were three hand pumps on the bar. There was the almost ubiquitous (in Burton) Marstons Pedigree, plus Hydes First Frost and a house beer called The Navigator, whose origin was unclear, but it was a very pleasant malty drink in good condition, and excellent value at only £2 a pint.

Named for the adjacent Trent & Mersey canal, this pub is about one third preserved and two thirds modern bar. One end is furnished and decorated in traditional style including exuberant Victorian style wallpaper, while the other has all the screens, machines, laminate floors, and shiny keg founts to satisfy the most uber of metro-sexuals, well almost - it is Burton on Trent after all. Both sides are divided by a modern glass entrance vestibule. The whole design is linked through a selection of old photos throughout and a homely touch is given by a dog’s cage and food bowls in a drinking passage cum corridor behind the servery that links the front and rear areas of the pub. Two pumps both with Pedigree, drinkable but not in brilliant condition.
