Family owned and run since 1999. Friendly, comfortable pub on a quiet side-street in the village, comprising three rooms: the main bar area with a wood burning stove in the area leading to, a comfortable sitting room with pew style seating, and a games room to the rear also with seating. There is a spacious tarmaced car park and tables for outside drinking, plus a small hut for water-phobic smokers. Live music on Sunday evenings plus regular charity and other music events throughout the year. Note that the pub will often stay open a lot later than midnight (except Sunday). AWARDS: Staffordshire Moorlands Sub Branch Pub of the Season (Winter 2015).
