Acorn Inn, Barton under Needwood

Small front bar inhabited by not unfriendly locals. Larger area at the back with a pool table. Unusual collection of old cameras behind the bar.

Meynell Ingram Arms, Burton Upon Trent

Friendly welcome to all-comers here. Seemed quite popular with the walking/cycling brigade but there were also a few regulars in attendance. The central bar serves two rooms, one a more cosier, locals type and the landlady was more than happy to allow small tasters of the ales on offer before purchasing.

There's a courtyard at the rear which was a bit of a suntrap when we were there and the pub has been extended around this with what looked like a dining/function room.

Bull and Spectacles, Rugeley

There can't be too many pubs in the country where you can watch a herd of reindeer doing what they do from the beer garden but this is one of them! The pub itself seemed more geared towards diners than drinkers but that's nothing unusual these days.
