Set in the Churnet Valley, close to the steam railway, this canal-side pub incorporates a large outside eating and drinking area, while the pub has all the trappings of the country. The interior has bench seating similar to a canal boat.

The handpulls serve two regular beers. Monday and Tuesday are Cask days with a discount per pint.

Food is served every day except Tuesday (cobs available), with special nights and offers on the board.

The pub is situated on the canal where there are moorings, and a short walk over two bridges leads to the nearby Churnet Valley Railway heritage station.

AWARDS: Staffordshire Moorlands CAMRA Pub of the Season (Winter 2016).
