Traditional, two-roomed pub opposite Newcastle bus station; the largish bar area houses a bar billiards table, the dartboard and a TV for sporting fixtures, whilst there is a small lounge to the other side of the central bar. The guest beers will be local ales, usually including one from New Brew, the owning company's brewery. Watc out for Willow, the crazy pub dog! AWARDS:CAMRA Potteries Pub of the Month May 2019.
