Wetmore Whistle

Friendly staff, lovely beer, just a real shame about the location not meaning there 's more traffic. I 've just had a 'breakfast ' and I 'm stuffed! The manager offered us a tab, not knowing us from Adam. A good choice of beers, usually I have a problem getting a dark one. There should be more people here, surely on a match day? I would only say it 's a little chilly, but it 's early in the year and I did go for a run this morning and I 'm slightly moist...

This is becoming known as one of the best live music venues in Burton. They have live music most days with a wide genre of music for all tastes but definitely worth a visit to appreciate the entertainment on offer, personally I think the best night is Saturday where some of the better know bands play. Although please note this venue is loud so if you are not into live music, it might be not your cup of tea. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The choice of beers is great. The locals are also very friendly. The downside is the car park is not very big so parking can sometimes be a problem. I understand they have a cafe on the back but this is not something that I have sampled.

Great place for beer and entertainment. Bit disappointing though that if you are in the pub when the music starts you have to pay to stay. If you dont pay you are asked to drink up and leave. Sometimes its nice to just sit and have a beer in friendly surrondings. Well worth a visit.

While I have only visited this establishment on one occasion, it was nothing but a pleasure! Friendly bar staff, nice atmosphere, a great area to watch any live entertainment (of which there is plenty! which enough space if you're the kind to Dance. Good selection of drinks, nothing majorly exotic (it has some average lagers, ciders and ales, nothing special but enough to keep you happy whether you're watching a band or in for a quiet drink. The seating is great, plenty of areas to sit, be it to sit quietly to yourself, enjoy a round with your friends or to watch some entertainment. Also while I have only been to the venue on one occasion the entertainment from their roster on the website shows that there are all style of entertainment, from various genres of music to comedy, open mic nights and more. Overall I'd have to say that this establishment is probably amongst the best venues in Burton for entertainment (providing more frequent entertainment than most and a more varied spectrum than the Appleby which caters to a more metal/gothic scene , it also appears to be great for a drink alone or with friends and offers a friendly environment. The only problem with the place I find is the location, it's very out of the way. Though it's worth the reasonably long walk to make it there from my home!

After a few years of not going in this pub i went in a few months ago with some friends to find it had been refurbished and it looks really great, its wot i call oldy worldy like a real traditional pub used to be. the staff are great and make you feel at home. i have never eaten there so i cant comment on that. but i found it a very pleasurable little pub and would go there again definately
