The pub is set in the heart of old Stoke Town, adjoining the city’s magnificent Civic Centre building and just across the road from the majestic Stoke Minister. The grandeur of the surroundings magnifies the pub's quality and its stubbornness to survive.
The pub is a grand and stately corner pub with beautiful stained-glass windows attributed to William Morris, now beautifully restored by a master craftsman. It offers a large front and back bar with comfortable seating, leather armchairs in front of the fire, and a beautiful secret town beer garden with benches.
The pub offers a quirky deli counter with a marvellous array of cheeses, cold meats, and nibbles, making it a perfect lunchtime stop. Customers can enjoy a variety of beers on tap, including Joule’s Pale Ale, Slumbering Monk, Pure Blonde, and English craft lager Green Monkey, alongside rotating seasonal ales and cold craft beer.
Customers have praised the pub for its gorgeous interior, lovely staff, great drinking atmosphere, and great food with a roaring fire. They also appreciate the delightful earrings sold by the staff. The pub is highly recommended by visitors.
The pub is just a 5-minute walk away from Stoke on Trent station, with ample town parking just a minute’s walk away. This makes it convenient for customers to visit and enjoy the pub's offerings.
