Multi award-winning canal side free house that benefits from the absence of TV, games, machines, with its lively conversational atmosphere that draws everyone in.

The pub (built in 1836) attracts customers from a wide area, together with visitors from the Trent and Mersey and Macclesfield canals, which join a few yards away.

Inside is a main bar area with 2 drinking areas to the side. Further back is a smaller snug room. The beer garden is to the rear of the premises by the car park.

New licensees took over during the summer of 2018 and have done a wonderful job in creating a warm friendly welcome backed up by 6 rotating real ales, 9 ciders and 40+ gins. There is a real community focus by the owners, which has been greatly welcomed by old and new visitors.

First beer festival in August 2019 was so popular, it will become a annual event.

AWARDS:

CAMRA Potteries Cider Pub of the Season Summer 2019.
