Small, comfortable pub, popular with bikers, and just across the road from the Cauldon Canal. No live music or televisions; a quiz is held every Wednesday, and the pub has table skittles. Sandwiches are available behind the bar. There us a heated conservatory area for smokers and a car park to the side of the pub, whilst the Hanley to Leek bus goes straight past the door. The guest beer will come from the Marstons portfolio.
