Traditional community local on the main road between Stoke and Newcastle. Inside is somewhat akin to stepping into the Tardis, as the pub has a classic four-roomed layout, split by a drinking corridor, although the room to the right of the bar has been much modernised in recent times. Regular quiz on Sunday evenings and there is a smoking patio and beer garden to the rear of the pub.

AWARDS CAMRA Potteries Pub of the Month May 2016.
