About this Pub

Gardeners Retreat
Roughly a mile from the bet365 Stadium, the Gardeners Retreat is a traditional Marston’s pub decorated with Stoke City memorabilia, making it a natural meeting point for home supporters on matchdays. It explicitly shows Premier League games on Sky Sports and promotes a lively matchday atmosphere, and local listings flag it as a handy pre- or post-match stop due to its proximity to Stoke City FC. For fans heading to the ground or catching other fixtures before/after, it’s a practical home-base option.

We had our engagement party here and I’m so glad we did. The room was the perfect size, staff were all very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was brilliant. DJ Bloke did a fantastic job on the night; listened and took on board exactly what we wanted. Could not recommend more, thank you for helping us to celebrate our night!

Proper local pub with a great lovely kid-friendly garden. Nice staff. Football always on the big TV. Good pint. Occasionally also has cheap but good burgers and hotdogs outside.
