About this Pub

The Woodman
City-centre location in Hanley makes it easy to reach before or after a match, and it’s about a 5-minute walk from Hanley Bus Station, which is handy for supporters arriving by bus/coach. The pub also shows live football (e.g., England fixtures), so it’s a useful spot for fans without tickets or for catching other games around kick-off time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great little town centre pub. Ideally for a quiet pint with lots going on in the week. Weekends - normally live entertainment or karaoke. Good selection of beers and ales and general pub snacks Good atmosphere and friendly bar staff Ideal for all singles, couples and families. Probably one of the nicest in the town centre

Great place to meet friends, good beer, cozy and kind atmosphere. The bartender is great, a smile on his face is always very kind and caring, each order was served with joy. I ask the owners of the pub to give the bartender an award, he deserved it! We'll be back many times!

Came here last night for one of the Smashed Bros burgers. Which was incredible by the way! The Spanish burger I opted for, it was absolutely incredible... The fries were really well seasoned too. Great selection of drinks available. Highly recommended, lovely venue too, nice decor, friendly staff.
