The oldest Wetherspoon in the Potteries, established in 1999 and occupying a previous pub that ironically specialised in live music. The fledgling Oasis played here on the day their debut single was released. Small and cosy compared to a lot of the pubs in the chain with everything on one level, including a small smoking patio to the rear. There is even an old table skittles board to play on. Around six guest ales are usually available, often from local breweries. CAMRA Potteries Pub of the Month December 2015.
