About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Listings show live football matches scheduled, and the pub promotes regular sports coverage with Sports TV—useful if you want to watch other games around a Stoke City fixture. CAMRA notes a good sport following, and a pre-match visitor review mentions watching on a giant screen, indicating it’s a known matchday stop. Light bites (pies & baps) are available, handy for a quick pre- or post-match snack. Cask ale such as Marston’s Pedigree is regularly offered. Together this makes it a practical neutral spot for both sets of supporters before or after the game.

Had more than one amazing night here recently. Always a great vibe. Live entertainment, Kareoke, and charity nights. The landlady really cares about the pub and the people in the community that use it. Highly recommended for a great night out.
I've always tried to see the best in places, rather than the worst, but Stoke has always been problematic, until now. It turns out that the locals are just like you and I, Jonathan Gullies aside, and the trick is to park the wrong side of enemy lines, and just walk into a very local pub, and brazenly pretend that you belong there, even though everyone there knows that you don't... What happens is that friendly staff serve you beer much cheaper than standing outside that Harvester outside the ground, and you get a Staffordshire welcome thrown in for free!.. Wish I'd found this place years ago
Such a lovely pub! The absolute highlight was the extremely friendly and welcoming staff – we instantly felt like part of the family. Service was amazing, everyone was so kind and attentive. We had a wonderful evening and the Guinness was also spot on. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Great pub and great atmosphere. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Great place, got pool and darts. Great food and music as well!
