The Barton Turns Inn — Restaurant in East Staffordshire

The new licensees of the Barton Turns have quickly made it my favourite pub in Barton. They have focussed on providing an interesting range of guest beers outside of the normal 'fare' found in Marston's pubs, and this has been very popular amongst my friends.

We have since been back two more times and hope to make this pub our “local” even though we are a little bit of a drive away. Need I say more! ...
