Up until 1988, the neighbouring pub was The Acorn. At the request of a local drinker, this became the chosen name when this highly popular Wetherspoon pub first opened in 1998. Inside is a deep open plan interior with a glass dome in the roof towards the rear. Historic pictures of Lichfield adorn the walls. Up to six guests are served alongside the regular ales, and a choice of four real ciders are available from polyboxes.
