No, you'll be fine in all the pubs I've mentioned.
The only pub (as far as I know) that won't allow away fans in, is the Lord Burton in the town centre.
This is a Wetherspoons that has been wrecked/damaged by Rotherham/Wolves/Port Vale fans in the past to name a few.
We really are a friendly...
The Sump is alright to be fair but a little out of the way.
The Burton Bridge is a brilliant pub, brews it's own beer but as you say doesn't do food all day.
Park anywhere near the ground and you'll soon be directed to The Great Northern, it's a bit of funny place to find if driving, one way...
Burton Albion fan here.
The Derby Inn is in all honesty a bit of a dive.
The two nearest pubs are The Beech, a large Marston's pub which you will pass on the way to the ground(just off the A38)
If you're driving Jim the landlord, is happy for you to leave your car and you will have a 5 minute...
