Discover The Elms, a characterful Victorian pub overlooking the River Trent in Stapenhill, Burton upon Trent – and a wonderful place to experience a little of the town’s famous brewing heritage.
Originally built as a private house in the 1890s, the building was later transformed into one of Burton’s original parlour pubs. Today, it retains many of its traditional features, including a historic Victorian bar, wood panelling and fixed seating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The Elms also has a fascinating connection with Bass, one of Burton’s most famous breweries. Look above the entrance for the historic “BEST BASS ELMS INN” lettering, while inside you’ll find brewing memorabilia and historic mirrors celebrating Burton’s brewing past.
Today, The Elms brings its heritage together with a lively modern pub experience. Enjoy cask ales, a great choice of drinks, live entertainment, sports and outdoor seating, including a terraced garden. Its riverside location makes it an ideal stop after exploring Stapenhill Gardens or enjoying a walk along the River Trent.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, real ale fan or simply looking for a friendly place to relax, The Elms is a brilliant addition to any Burton upon Trent day out.
