Burton-Based Town-Supporting Landlord Wants His Pub Turned Blue and White - Ipswich Town News

Town-supporting landlord Richard Muir is inviting his fellow Blues to visit his micropub the Weighbridge Inn in Burton ahead of Saturday’s first away game against the Brewers at the Pirelli Stadium.

"I own the Muirhouse brewery in Ilkeston and a couple of years ago took on a micropub in Burton,” Richard told TWTD.

The Weighbridge Inn was packed with Blues fans for their last visit to Burton on the opening day of 2019/20 and since then the premises have expanded.

"We have added another little building to our business so we can do more food and also licensed this so we have two bars for the game,” he added.

"We really want the pub to be full of blue and white for Saturday’s match. We will be open at 9am.”

The pub, which is a minute's walk from the railway station, is a five-minute taxi ride or a 20-minute walk away from the Pirelli Stadium.

More details on the Weighbridge Inn can be found on their Facebook page.
