| I love Premier Inns but this is my nemesis, the toast machine. | The all you can eat Full English. | |
 |
 |
|
| Birmingham New Street, not the greatest of stations. | Burton was rather grey and damp. | |
 |
 |
|
| The home of British Brewing seemed to be American. | However there seemed to be plenty of capacity. | |
 |
 |
|
| Semi festive and in line with the beer theme. | The load Spoons. Great staff and welcome. | |
 |
 |
|
| Great pub. Shame it wasn’t open until 16:00. | However The Roebuck was open. | |
 |
 |
|
| Real wooden floor too, Mr Manning. | Couldn’t see the trees. | |
 |
 |
|
| Beer theme at the station. | Hats off I say. |
