Re-opened in July 2022, after being closed for a number of years, by the grandson of the previous licencees who ran it from 1952 to 1991.

Traditional pub just outside the city centre, with an attractive Edwardian facade proclaiming that it serves "Bass Only", believed to be unique in the county of Staffordshire. The pub has been refurnished to an immaculate standard - there is a main bar area, with rooms either side plus a patio area. Up to 4 hand pulls with yes, Bass on regular the other 3 being guests with usually a local beer on, a drinking area that curves around the bar. Smoking area at the back, over-looking the majestic Potteries Way.
