Convivial two-roomed pub just outside the centre of Longton, thoroughly dedicated to the dispense of good quality real ale from a whole host of micro-breweries. The affable landlord moved in during 2005, and has easily won the loyalty of local real ale enthusiasts.

The left-hand room contains the bar and the right-hand room houses the dart board, meetings and the annual beer festival every May.

It is very hard for the real ale fan to go wrong in a pub like this, especially when you factor in the three real ciders and a good selection of keenly priced beer in bottles.
