Old Cottage, Burton On Trent Town, Burton on Trent

A traditional Victorian pub retaining an original layout and well described below.At the far end of the building there is a restaurant,but unvisited by ourselves due to a focus on ale consumption.Most definitely worth including on any tour around town,especially to sample the Old Cottage Brewery output,I would happily return .Good to see very strong support from the local community,in a slightly shabby part of town.

An excellent Victorian local with its own brewery and, judging by our visit, a loyal, lively and friendly clientele. To the right on entering is a bar area, which was too full on our visit to pick up any detail, to the left is a smaller room with seating, possibly a family room. At the rear is a lounge type area, full of tables and chairs and with a tele on the back wall. The central bar serves both bar and lounge. Three beers from Old Cottage: Halcyon Daze, in excellent nick, Oak Ale and Stout and 3 guests: Everards Coppernob, Shardlow Spring has Sprung and Idle Brewery Idle Eyes on our visit. There's a few decent looking ale houses to go at in Burton so we didn't spend long in here but I'd certainly be happy to return for an extended stay.

Warm,friendly back street pub. Another little brewery in Burton. Serves 3 of their own beers plus 3 guests. Being just round the corner from the town hall, its worth a visit on a beer festival night. Well its worth a visit anytime really.
