Wheatsheaf

The oldest Wetherspoon in the Potteries, established in 1999 and occupying a previous pub that ironically specialised in live music; the fledgling Oasis played here on the day their debut single was released. Small and cosy compared to a lot of the pubs in the chain, with everything on one level, including a small smoking patio to the rear; there is even an old table skittles board to play on. Around five guest ales are usually available, often from local breweries, and the pub is a regular in The Good Beer Guide. CAMRA Potteries Pub of the Month December 2015.
