Much like the Roebuck, feels like this one has had a bit of a light makeover in the intervening six years and I felt a lot more positive this time round. As I was here for National Bass Day notes are sparse as I was otherwise occupied with the chat of other devotees. Said grog was in very good nick as you would rightly expect (NBSS 4).
March 2020
The old Ind Coop sign outside makes you wonder what you’re going to get. In fact, this is an ex-Burton Bridge pub and is now a freehouse. A two roomed interior via a side corridor and served by a central bar dividing the two; the main bar is where the locals seemed to congregate, it has tiled flooring, a bit of embossed wallpaper, banquette seating and 70's vibe Including a noticeable draught from the windows, which needs attention). There’s a larger room to the rear which I didn’t really explore. Four ales on; Bristol Beer Factory, Bass, Uttoexeter and Burton Bridge Porter (NBSS 3.5) along with three Lilleys ciders. My mid-afternoon visit found the place to be really quiet and I didn’t settle as well as I’d have liked. Suspect I’d have got more out of it later on. Rated 6.5

ORIGINAL REVIEW October 2022.
All very traditional interior with a front carpeted saloon with bench seating and green banquettes and feeling quite plush.The rear room also has bar access and doors to the garden,so its all quite charming.
This was towards the end of a long crawl so I may have missed a lot but the ale options were Burton Bridge Bitter and Stairway to Heaven with guests Gates Resevoir , Bass and thankfully Oakham Inferno (NBSS 3.5).
Would just about make it onto a crawl list beware that the noon opening maybe a moveable feast during the week.It caught me out but being close to the station it got ticked later in the day.
UPDATE
Since my previous review this traditional pub has won the CAMRA branch pub of the year three years in a row and the ale range and quality deserve a significant upgrade. On my Tuesday trip,once opened at 4pm the options were Thornbridge Jaipur IPA (NBSS 4.5),Vocation Heart & Soul (NBSS 4),Titanic Plum Porter (NBSs 4.5) and Marstons brewed Courage Directors (NBSS 4),Bowness Bay Fell Walker and Bass.That's a top range and in great nick on a long session.Barman was a lot of fun ,friendly and knowledgeable.It's a family run pub.Probably the best ale house in Burton these days and close to full marks.

The Devonshire Arms has a central corridor that runs from front to rear that passes to the left a small square front public bar with a counter across the rear that faces a couple of tables and some banquettes. It was rammed in this bar during a recent Wednesday evening visit. The corridor continues to a quieter lounge at the rear that is split up by exposed brick pillars and a wide chimney breast that houses a burner. To the left is a strip of sunken seating where all the tables were being used by diners and to the right is an L-shaped rear serving counter. Carling, Staropramen, Madri and craft offerings from Tiny Rebel and Brew York were available on keg and the ten hand pumps evenly split across the two bars were drawing London Pride, Jaipur, Oakham’s Citra, Ossett’s Silver King, Bass, Gates Burton Brewery’s Reservoir and Titanic’s Plum Porter. This is a popular pub that’s worth a look.
