Attractive, comfortable free house, just off the main road, but well-signposted so easy to find.

The building dates back to the late 1770s and was originally called the Queens Head, becoming the Crown around 1850.

Healthy food trade at lunch-times and early evenings, when delicious food can be consumed at reasonable prices; no TV's or juke boxes to disturb the peace.

The beer is always well-kept and the range often includes an offering from a local micro-brewery; the house ale, Crown Inn Legend is brewed especially for the pub by Marston's and is named after ex-Stoke Goalkeeper Dennis Herod who is one of the owners grandad.

Car park at the side of the pub, pleasant beer patio to the rear.

CAMRA Potteries Pub of the Month June 2015.
