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.

What a find and thanks to the GBG 2018 for bringing me here. A front bar little changed since 1644. A lovely roaring fire. Pork pies as big as your shoe for £3.80. I would have gone for a Joules but I spyed a rarely seen Bass Pale Ale and had to give it a go.
Exceptional.
Would be my local.
