Large, modern pub on the main road into Crewe, attractively set in pleasant gardens, complete with it's own pond; although the term "gastro-pub" could easily apply here, the beer is always excellently kept with three guests ales, often local micro-breweries such as Peakstones Rock and Spitting Feathers. Large car park to one side. The name of the pub commemorates the illegal playing of cards that used to take place in surrounding fields, and the Crewe to Newcastle bus service will drop you right outside. Food is naturally served every day up to 10pm and will always include daily specials.
