Large roadside pub on the road into Kidsgrove, refurbished in grand style by the Shropshire-based Caldmore Taverns. Five separate areas lead off the bar room, so there is plenty of room for a quiet drink. Five hand pulls serve two regular beers from Burton Bridge plus guest beers will usually come from local and regional breweries. A number of ciders and spirits plus craft ales, ensures there is something for everyone. Food is served on Chilli Tuesdays, Curry Wednesdays and Super Sunday Hot Beef Baps during open the box (9pm). There is a pleasant beer garden on two terraces to the rear. Note that the doors close at 10.30pm on Friday & Saturday.
