Quite a nice little pub on a main road (511) running through the town.

The pub is small but nice and both staff members we saw today (young ladies) were polite, friendly and gave good service. We both decided to try the chicken curry which was pretty good, tasty, plenty of chicken and a nice level of spiciness. The mango chutney had a nice bite to it. Two thumbs up on this one. Yes we will be back - given the amazing Bulls Head in nearby Repton it is hard to give more than 3 stars - but remember folks - 3 stars in pretty damn good!!! Of course I had a pint of cider :) Review #45 2018

The Wheel Inn is a very popular pub just off the A511 in Midway. A big car park with easy access,…read morehelps catch passing trade as people commute between Burton on Trent and Leicester. Most nights of the week, the Wheel is full because of its good reputation and the fact that it shows most big sporting events. The pub itself is a fair size, but not huge and has an open plan feel, with a good range of outdoor seating too. On Friday and Saturday nights it is packed to the rafters, especially as most Saturday nights have live entertainment - bands, individual singers etc. Some of the acts attract quite a following, so if you want a seat, its best to get there early. The bar staff are friendly, even though they seem to be permanently busy. A good pub, that serves good beer in a lively atmosphere.
