The Burton Bridge Inn, Burton-Upon-Trent

I still go to town every week or so just to visit this place, my favourite pub in the whole area. Beer top class especially Golden Delicious and Soveriegn Gold. Heard from the local paper that they are taking on brewing DBA (Draught Burton Ale)after C*******g dropped it due to falling demand! (mainly due to its non-availabilty in any of their houses, being only intrested in l***r). Cracking pub, ace food, friendly staff.

Green Man, Willington

It's me again for an update on this pub. After 3 sets of managers, a couple who ran the place after its refurb have bit the bullet and signed a lease. I wasn't keen on them before but now they have a stake in the place rather than just a wage, a total change is under way. Landlady's 2 sons run the bar ( Harvest Pale, Pedi, Bass, Doombar, Courage Bitter-rare in these parts and 1 other changing, Black Sheep bitter at mo.Wye Valley Butty Bach next). Stone baked pizza's are superb, Food offers most weeknights, Pizza-night, homemade pie-night etc. Quiz night Wednesday £1 a person each team get a 14'' Pizza of their choice. Everybody very friendly and the busiest it's been for years.They've not paid me for this ad, I just like the place a lot again!

The Wilkes Head, Leek

Read the other comments, can't say I've met the landlord but the girl who has served me on a Saturday afternoon is pleasant. All the locals seem to be members of a serious celeb deadpool. Decent rock soundtrack and Hartington IPA. Not bad for a quick visit, but could do with a bit of a tidy up.
