It’s coming good again is The Coopers. Live band on, bar snacks, cosy and warm, landlady gave the dog a fuss and a treat… and the New Bristol cinder toffee stout was superb.
Real old fashioned pub where the bar is a foot long and beer comes straight from the barrel via a tap. The Bass is bang on as are the scratchings. Cheers and enjoy.
Truly great pub and I really had great time with family (we been there to my in-laws 55th anniversary) it’s one of my favourite place in burton
What a great pub. Oldy worldly place with character. Great beers. Staff were friendly and polite. Enjoyed my visit.
Lovely back street traditional pub. Great beer and roaring open fire. Just the ticket for a cold January night. 10/10
