I dont remember seeing any pubs, or even a shop. My great great grandmother used to run a well known pub in Burton called the Earth Shaker. When her husband died she moved to another pub to run that called the Royal Oak. Neither now exist. They were both ran by Anne Medlicott in the 1800s. The Medlcicotts were a well known family in the vilage.

There is also a house in the village called Barn End which used to be a pub over the centuries changing names several times but all maritime related. e.g Sailors arm, the anchor and the RObbers Den.
