The Devonshire Arms in East Staffordshire

Stopped in for a couple of pints of stout. Very busy Friday evening. Beer seems good and place is fine. Seems really popular.

When alighting from Burton Train Station, Station Street affords a great opportunity for a mini pub crawl of some quality. There are not many towns I know where a short stroll would encompass four quality beer venues as The Roebuck Inn, the Last Heretic, The Devonshire Arms and the Coopers tavern. Although this one may not have the historic character of The Coopers Arms for example I found it a nice traditional two bar pub, comfortably furnished and with a good range of beers available on its five hand pumps, namely Burton Bridge Brewery Top Dog Stout, Gates Burton Brewery Reservoir, Oakham Inferno, Allsopps Pale Ale and Draught Bass, plus some ciders. The Oakham Inferno was on top form and an excellent pint to take into and enjoy in the front bar with its open fire. Good to see it being well utilised on this Friday evening with a decent crowd in.

Carl has done a great job on managing this popular town bar. Ambience is laid back, all ages and types drink here. Excellent beer and range.

Went into this pub whilst in Burton. Did not feel comfortable. Person behind the bar served his locals before me although I was next - not only next but there was no one else. Found the whole pub very unfriendly. Have to say that I never had the same experience at other pubs in Burton.

We have just returned for one of the excellent food nights. Tapas night this time . All excellent home cooked food at a reasonable price. We keep returning again and again. Pie night next....can't wait !

Nicky and Carl did a three course Sunday lunch to raise funds in order to purchase a Defibrillator for the pub. This was the last of a number of fundraising events. The meal was amazing , quality produce and lots of it . This pub consistently serves great food in a great town centre pub.

Come tonight for fish supper as booked cancelled because of staff sickness not a problem only thay didn't inform us waste off a rare night out plus taxis X2 waste off our time

Just been to the fish night . We all had the Hake. Fresh meaty fish and perfectly cooked by Nicky the chef. The chips were also delicious. Thanks to all.

Well the pub is back open after lock-down and I have to say I felt very safe drinking there. Loads of sanitizer and stuff and everywhere is clean before and after use. Well done Carl and your fine team.

Well, if you are visiting the town and you choose your first pub, you hope it will be a good one and this really was. It was great to try something from a local brewery that was new to us. It felt like a traditional, friendly, uncomplicated boozer and there isn't much higher praise than that- very happy we visited.

The Devonshire is a town centre family owned and run pub. It does excellent ales is spotlessly clean and has a great atmosphere. The landlady does food on Tuesdays two or three times a month. We have been to the pie night and most recently the Fish night. The fish was amazing we both had the catch of the day which was Hake it was cooked to perfection and the chips were the best I have eaten in a long time. The portions are huge so don’t eat much in the day before you attend. These food nights get booked up in advance so get in early. Would recommend already booked in for the burger and steak nights in March.

Fantastic chips as I said in review below! This was a steak night and the food was just superb Great fillet, perfect chips, mushrooms were to die for, onion ring and a sauce (we didn’t) if you want one. Nikki does a fantastic job in the kitchen. Roll on fish night 18th February

Fantastic chips!! I’ve been drinking here for donkeys years and the beers are second to none, always fresh, crisp and very well kept! They now have special Tuesday food nights which I thought would be farmed out to some franchise and be ordinary. How wrong I was! I’ve just been to the fish night and it was superb! Carl’s mrs does all the prep & cooking aNd it was lovely! Home made chips were fantastic, hand battered cod was simply lovely, service by Dom was perfect and we will be going back! Pity it’s only certain tuesdays per month! Well done Niki

Nice little pub with great choice of drinks. We didn’t eat here but it was warm and welcoming. Sadly struggled to find anywhere to sit as couples taking up areas which could have seated more so we didn’t stay long.

A traditional pub with good traditional beers on tap. I enjoyed a Bass Original and a Burton's Bridge bitter. Service was a little erratic due to waiting at an empty bar for a while. I was looking for the traditional bell

The most superb little pub in Burton, excellent beer from a superb choice of 'proper' wonderfully kept ales. We called for a lunchtime 'snifter', spoilt for choice of beer but I managed... Then we spied the Friday food menu - roast pork bap for the princely sum of £3, order duly placed. What was not to like, a wonderful bap stuffed with the most excellent pork, stuffing and apple sauce. Excellent - proper pub food is not dead thank goodness. Best of all it wasn't accompanied with any unwanted rocket leaves or poached avocado fillets or any such rubbish! Well done Mr & Mrs Stout, its wonderful to have you back after a few years, my favorite pub is back up there where it belongs :-)

Visiting footy fan, meeting up with fellow supporters before match. Drinks: friendly atmosphere, we were made to feel welcome; quick and efficient service, prices reasonable, good selection of good beers. Food: Landlord put on some food for our group as a special deal (as Saturdays not usually a food day). Curry and chips were excellent, and there was plenty of it, for only a few quid.Location, a short walk from the train station, so needed a taxi to the ground, though we walked back after the match.

Drank here last night after visiting other establishments in the area.Quite a busy pub but was served quickly and was able to find a seat easily.The ales on offer were numerous and we enjoyed our brief stay here. The ambiance was good so I would revisit if in the area.

Wow called in before going for a meal and although busy we wete welcomed warmly by other customers moving thereby allowing us a seatChoice of drinks superb and staff could not be more helpful.Only called for a quick drink but seeing the choice of drinks available would have been stupid not to try others..The warmth of all in the pub was top class and obviously clientel and staff added enormously to an enjoyable visitWill call again allowing more time for drinks as opposed to moving on elsewhereA gem in burton

While in Burton visiting Cask Marque pubs, we were recommended to visit the Devonshire arms and we were glad we did. Very friendly locals recommending different beers which seemed rude to ignore. so instead of 2 drinks, we ended up with 4 between the 2 of us. Glad we listened the beers recommended were very good indeed. The Devonshire Arms is a must visit for beer lovers.

Everytime I came in Britain I always had a good time. In Burton upon Trent for visiting St.George's Park with a friend of mine, we spent a lot of time in this pub, really having a good time. High quality beers, good food and a fantastic staff for a cozy atmosphere. 5 stars deserved. Absolutely.

The Devonshire Arms is a cozy, quaint little neighbourhood pub just a few minutes from Burton station. The real ale selection is adequate, and the decor typical for a community boozer. Friendly atmosphere and that just-feels-like-old-times kick make this a place to spend a nice evening. Nice staff, too. Solid option in a good real ale town.

found this place during a pub crawl around Burton what a great place it is good choice of ales and friendly atmosphere

Burton is the home to as brewery.

Just a short walk from the station on the road into town. Good choice of beers and a good pint. Ok for a quick drink

Great little pub by the train station and not far from the national brewery centre. Clean pub with very friendly staff. Lovely pint of titanic stout and erdinger!

We popped in for a few drinks from the station on the way to the football match. There was a good atmosphere, and a good range of beers on offer. It is set just outside the town centre but very close to the train station.

Well opposite a brewery in a town famous for brewing you would hope so wouldn't you! If you are eating in the Balti next door (which is un-licenced) you can take your drinks round from the Devonshire.

Excellent range of cask ales, friendly staff and customers. Little beer garden at back. Convenient location used indian restaurant next door and can take your drinks with you.

Otro puente burton pub, un lugar agradable fuego! Buena selección de cervezas de nuevo y sidra. aperitivos varios fueron compradas aquí - una variedad de pasteles de cerdo! No soy un gran fan de pastel de cerdo pero recomiendo estas, muy sabrosa. tuvimos una con chorizo.

Excellent beer. Great service. Great staff. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Immaculate cleanliness. Definitely plan several return visits

Traditional pub with good atmosphere and excellent choice of real ales. Landlady and staff greet you warmly. Good choices of guest ales. A great old English pub..........can't fault it.

Am old fashioned boozer no juke box no slot machines no steak and chips! A great line in cheese and onion rolls, a variety of pork pies and a great place to sit and chat and the Bridge Brewery ales keep you well lubricated .

Very friendly welcome on arrival. Good choice of local real ales. Homemade food available. Situated between town centre & railway station. Only 5 minute walk either way. One of the three best pubs in Burton. With the Coopers & Burton Bridge.

Wonderful traditional Burton Pub shortly to have new managers and I hope the give as good as the retiring incumbents.Lots of good beers a great atmosphere.

Great "Real Ale". Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great Staff who make you feel welcome. You have to try their fruit wines. Knock your sox off. What is there not to love about this place.

Always a very warm welcome , Burton Bridge beers on handpumps, always in top condition . Handmade pork pies on sale , said to be "the best" . a guest beer is always on , this is a "proper English town pub owned by many times CAMRA Award winner Burton Bridge Brewery . Just go and make yourself comfy , Check out the rear garden , [also has a smoking area at rear] . Used by many visitors to our town every week , QUIZ NIGHTS, once a week . one of my favourites.

On a day trip to Burton seeking out some ales. Devinshire arms is a friendly busy pub. Good atmosphere. Enjoyed a speciality pork pie.Good ales! Enjoyable visit!

my first time to this well reknowned pub, and it didn't disapoint.Hugely busy at around 20:30, which was great, and had some excellent bridge beers..

Lovely friendly real ale pub. Penny + Jackie run a great house. Excellent range of Burton Bridge beers - top place for a great night out. Like the best pubs used to be.

This pub is only a short walk from the train station. They had a really good selection of local real ales. I cannot remember what ones I had now but I did enjoy them. Definitely worth calling in if you like your real ales.

The Devonshire, known to we locals as "THE DEVVIE", Is owned by the BURTON BRIDGE BREWERY , s you know your ales ect are of top quality just as are the Staff. always a pleasant welcome , locals actually will speak to you , just strike up a conversation .

Very friendly and welcoming. Great selection of ales and awesome pork pies! A two minute walk from the station and a perfect stop off if you're going to the football.Will definitely visit again.

If having a few in Burton make sure you include this pub in any crawl. The beer was in good condition, and there was a good range.

Visited with friends on Friday evening . Great atmosphere good choice of beers , wines and spirits. Will defiantly be returning . Well done to all the staff at the Devvy !

The staff and owners make you feel very welcome, the range of real ales is fantastic and the snacks are also delicious. worth a vist

I used this pub over 30 years ago before I moved away from Burton. Where I live now is very much cafe/bar establishments. When I visit relations it's always good to go back to a proper pub. Visited on Thursday night, beer was spot on, bar staff friendly and a ladies dart night. Enjoyed a few pints. Any beer lovers visiting Burton should give it a go. You will not be disappointed.

Wow, hardly ever do you see pub do things well, however the Devonshire do everything perfect. From the outside you could be confused that it's a dingy old pokey pub but you couldn't be further away from the truth. When you enter its a proper traditional pub. You have both the bar and the lounge. Bar full of your pub drinkers who go in to eat nuts and talk about beer and wet dogs. The lounge is spacious with plenty of alcoves and seating. It has all the traditional decor you would expect and a random wedding photo stuck on the celling. The bar suits everyone's taste both in drinks where they have a vast arrange and the nibble department is second to none. However the biggest draw to this pub for me and my friends is the atmosphere, it fantastic. The hubbub is great the people are great the staff are great. This pub should not be mussed wether it's for just a couple of drinks out or staying in till closing time you won't be disappointed.

Typcal real ale pub with a wide choice of beers. good surrounds and excellent service. A proper pub!!

handily located not far from rail station. welcoming trad pub with bar at front and lounge at rear. good beer from local burton bridgr brewery and snack food - cobs and pork pies. well worth a visi.

This is one of the Burton bridge brewery pubs, so if you are a real ale fan it is a must. Well run and great staff, close to the train station, so good for football fans. Also serves draft erdinger weibgier (wheat beer) happy days.

Stopped for a pint at the Devonshire, on a recent trip to Burton. Ended up staying for two. Visited a number of pubs in the town which were mostly good, and this was the best. Good selection of beers, including the Burton Bridge bitter. Excellent friendly welcome from the landlady, nice old pub feel, and tremendous pork pies.

Brilliant little pub close to the railway station. Superb selection of ales... Damson Porter was very good. Erdinger wheat beer on tap as well. Local pies and sandwiches on offer, as away football fans we had a great welcome. Very busy but service was faultless.

Excellent array of beers and fruit wines. A wonderful, traditional English pub. Staff always friendly and chatty. Great atmosphere!

Well kept Burton Bridge Brewery beers, including Damson Porter; Guest beer, Traditional fruit wines; Pork Pies and crusty cheese and onion cobs. No fruit machines, no juke box, just the hum of conversation. Lovely newly extended patio area to the rear. Welcoming and well worth a visit. If you're wanting more substantial food, you can take your drinks to the 3 curry houses - Balti Towers, Exquisite and Apne. Also ideally located for 99 Station Street and Flora Thai Restaurants.
