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. There is a pleasant beer garden on two terraces to the rear. Note that the doors close at 10.30pm on Friday & Saturday.No disabled access to the toilets.
