Quinno _ left this review about The Bridge Tavern
The ‘wrong way’ from town and the interchange which means it’s ideal as the start or end point of a crawl; we picked it as our start point. Recently taken on by BCA and it follows their usual template of 3-4 of their brews alongside several guest ales (four today) and big cobs (or rolls!) in comfortable and traditional surroundings. This one has a slightly unusual double depth layout which worked rather well I thought and we bagged a seat by the crackling fire. My slurps of BCA PotW was good (NBSS 3.5) as was the Fownd Porter. In a nod to their location as the nearest pub to the station, there’s a train departure board. A strong BCA outlet and a guaranteed GBG pick for next year, Rated 8.5

Pleased to say it has been taken over by Black Country Ales. Hoping to reopen this Summer.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bitter-Suite
Stretching the micro-pub definition a bit perhaps (given that it was formerly a 'normal' pub in the past), but this two-room establishment definitely has that ethos. Plainly furnished and decorated, but counter-less and with the 'cellar' being visible in a rear cool room. Five real ales - including the regular Bridgestrike from Burton Bridge (£3.50) - and four ciders advertised on the chalkboard. Excellent, and handy for the station too.
