An old canalside pub which retains two original, flag floored, small bars with canal memorabilia. These bars are dog friendly, although the old latched door access direct from the towpath is now blocked off. The front bars are separated from a more modern, food orientated lounge area and conservatory. An exterior plaque commemorates the pub's place in the Guinness 'Book of Records' for the most differing floor levels in a public house. The Spitfire sign refers to the pub's role in organising the purchase by the town of a Spitfire, named the Star of Stone, for the RAF during the war; look for a commemorative painting and the citation scroll in the pub. Outside tables on the canalside are popular in the summer. There is an extensive menu for the restaurant meals. Level access from the car park and garden area.

Information for this venue is provided by the Heart of Staffordshire Branch of CAMRA

TRY ALSO. This characterful pub pre-dates the canal, and dates from 1568. Fully-licensed in 1819, it became a canal inn with stabling for 12 horses. It has a mazy interior with thirteen floor levels - and is apparently in the Guinness Book of records for this. Most of the pub has been modernised, but at the road end are two delightful small quiet rooms with red-tiled floors, old benches, and beamed-style walls and ceilings from postwar alterations. The serveries are modern. A passage curves round the servery up steps to the modernised rooms.
