A proper pub. Cosy with good beers and nice atmosphere, friendly people, everything we love in a pub. 20th Nov 2023 still live the atmosphere here but please pay some attention to the toilets. Spoils the place 8 Feb 2024 still love the pub but the toilets need attention

Cracking pub, well recommended.

They don't do food but good selection of snacks . Atmosphere great friendly people lovely bar staff 😀 👍 a credit to the pub work really hard. Mens toilets need a revamp very poor so I've been told ladies toilets not to bad . Only thing that let's the pub down to be fair plus a bit dusty but could be the open fire 🔥 all in all a great pub

What a great pub..been on a few times now and we love it..close to the town centre but far enough away if you know what I mean 😉...Great choice of beers, dog friendly and fantastic staff, what more do you want. 👍

Lovely young lady behind the bar.. Good selection of ales and very friendly pub

Bit rowdy at times for my liking, but the staff and beer are excellent, and reasonable prices.

Really lovely traditional pub with a good choice of real ales and ciders. The staff are really friendly too

Really cosy pub with friendly staff

Great! It's got one (and even two) of my personal favourite lagers on tab, both being Czechian Pils: Staropramen and their second Pils, Praha.

Excellent service,friendly pub..was actually in there when the people in the comment below went in..they wanted serving first while people were already waiting and were very rude to the barman who was on his own due to one of the staff being absent through illness...but all in all a great little pub.👌

Felt very welcome and landlord Mark made us feel at home

Cracking pub, with the atmosphere of a village pub. Intimate and friendly. Excellent selection of beers and the bar staff are ace.

Always busy when I visit. Good beer and a warm welcome.

Great pub. Exceptional quality and service. Fantastic pint of Bass.

We go in here on some Fridays. Went in today. Totally ignored by the very rude barman who served others who came in after us. Waited at least 5 minutes. My husband then spoke up . He asked rudely what he wanted. We said nothing now and we went. EXTREMELY RUDE. Think you should know as you will lose customers. He told us we wouldn't be missed. Horrendous customer service. We have found this particular barman rude before.

Such a rude barman in there. Serves all regulars first and ignores customers. Like a drink on a Friday in there but don't like being ignored. VERY RUDE BARMAN. WOULDN'T SERVE US .WAITED AT LEAST 5 MINUTES WHILE HE SERVED EVERYONE ELSE. We then walked out. He said ' You won't be missed' when we asked him why we hadn't been served. Awful.

Good selection of well kept ales. Very pleasant environment.

Great traditional pub with friendly bar staff and proper local old boys plying cards. Listening to their ruthless, playful banter with each other was a fantastic. Great selection of ales and standard AND premium lager. Will visit again soon.

Fun quiz with loads of variety so even in the group contributed

Decent pint of Bass (other drinks are available) and quick and pleasant service

A real blast from the past .43 years since I first went into this pub as a long haired teenager and now I'm back in with no hair at all and it's just as I remember.

The best local pub in Newcastle and there's not many left.

Always a good group of people in the boat. Drank the Jaipur pale ale and Bass,both good 👍

Best pub in town lovely friendly people brillant staff nice and warm comfy place

Lovely place lovely ales well worth the visit hope to be back soon

Brilliant cosy welcoming pub. Nice in the winter. The outside seating area could do with a spruce for summer.

Great confortable pub with a community feel, offering a good range of cask ales plus much more. 5 minutes walk from the bus station.

Called in for a quick pint, weekday lunch, place was buzzing. Welcoming staff, roaring fire no rip-off prices, great beer, I'll be back with friends.

Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices at the bar. Friendly staff.

Decent proper pub just outside of town. Friendly staff, great pint of Staropramen.

Excellent, homely, friendly pub

Fab little pub so traditional heart warming. Dog friendly which is a huge plus point . Highly recomend

Nice place. Friendly staff. Good selection of beers. Recommended.

Great pub lovely people very friendly

What a great friendly pub with lots of choices, well worth a visit.

Great pub and really welcoming bar man Dan 👍🍺

Nice pub good beer friendly welcome

Lovely atmosphere & friendly staff

Lovely little pub. Good choice of drinks

This is a great thriving little pub, unspoilt by current trends, only thing letting them down are the toilets which are dirty and smelly.

Vastly improved over some years ago, great choice of beer.

A really nice, traditional pub, keeps a good pint of cask, all types of ale kept, I just wish the selection changed, always tends to be the same beers on. If you're in the area, it's always worth popping in for a pint or two regardless.

Visited here after our car broke down nearby and we were waiting for recovery. We were in joggers/casual wear. The bartenders were friendly, until a glass collector asked “what the f*** are you wearing?” Aghast, we replied that our car had broken down and we hadn’t expected to visit. We were told next time, there’s a dress code. A dress code is understandable, but the way this was communicated was absolutely vile and uncalled for. Will avoid in future!

Best pint of Staropramen ever 👌

A great locals pub with fantastic service

Nice place and friendly atmosphere will go again.

Lovely atmosphere with pleasant different beers served in a very good manner, enjoyed the quality of everything, thank you.

I like the makeover, it's really freshened the place up. I've not had a bad pint in there since they reopened post-lockdown.

Nice pub good selection of beers.

Lovely old traditional pub with a good range of real ales at reasonable prices.

Great little pub. Quiz night was fun

Fab. What a pub. Welcoming and fun. Mark is a lovely landlord

Lovely cosy pub. Great range of beers and staff are very welcoming especially Dan

Amazing choice of beers, ales, and ciders at very decent prices. Top service and always a nice crowd.

Always like visiting this lovely pub. I used to live just down the road from it a few years ago and have fond memories. I visited again last week and still a great place for a drink

Good beer's and well organised. Nice atmosphere. Enjoy going.

Cracking pub with great choice of ales

Very good, nice pint, good booze.

Fab pub ✅adhering to social distancing 😁

Great little pub with a good selection of beer.

Solid local pub off to one side of Newcastle under Lyme. Good variety of tap beers and draft ales. Jukebox is very rock and roll if you fancy that sort of thing. Chatty staff and occasional live music. Lovely redecorated outside area.

Best place for a perfect drink, friendly and welcoming environment, comfort, and social gathering that I know. Period. Excellent drinks and prices and very respectful with social distancing etc. This is a proper pub and very rare! A diamond!!!

Frist time in good beers must go again 👍

Great pub fantastic beer, friendly atmosphere. Great staff

Very friendly pub,staff and beer top draw

This Pub is a traditional beer drinkers paradise. Fantastic choice of real Ales, expertly kept by the welcoming enthusiastic landlord. open log fire, warm friendly inviting atmosphere, dog friendly, where better to enjoy my favourite pint of Jiapur?, a real gem.

Cracking pub, cracking beers..just a little too much wet dog tonight..(& not getting a round in).

Great atmosphere and nice drinks

Brilliant pub.great atmosphere and great beer dog friendly too 👍🍺

Lovely pub, good choice of beers, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Excellent range of beers in good condition.

Good little friendly pub, open fire, good staff. Well worth a visit.. And dog friendly too. 👍

Listed as a restaurant. It's a lovely PUB

Very nice comfortable pub with some great beers not open long doing a great job

Nice homely pub with lovely open fires. Good choice of real ales at reasonable prices. Be careful where you sit : we didn't know the layout of the pub and sat underneath a speaker so it was a little bit loud. We will go back but will choose where we sit more carefully ! Friendly person behind the bar. Pub clean and wheelchair and dog friendly.

Looking for a new local to frequent, as all the other pubs in town have been converted to young persons disco's or gin palaces. This pub is the real McCoy, great choice of ales and a comfortable friendly atmosphere. Going to make it my 3 times a week (could be more) , hostelry.

Just called for a quick drink. Six Cask beers available. Good choice of keg too, including Blue Moon. Delighted to see the pub reopened and wish it every success. Will be back soon.

Unfortunately been taken over by another manager. May not be as cosy as it once was

Historically interesting pub, well worth the short walk from the town centre or a stop-off on your way to/from Clayton Road. Couple of decent real ales on, and a great 60s-70s soundtrack, not so loud as to intrude on your conversation though. Exactly the kind of pub we need to use and not lose!

Has to be my most favourite pub in Newcastle.

A great place to chill out and meet friends

Nice friendly local, always a excellent pint.

Cosy pub with good choice of beer

Had a couple of drinks there on xmas day.

Great local pub. Beer well kept and place is spotless. Just a tad on the pricey side

The place is spotless. There is a reassuringly short range of beers which are perfectly kept. A great local.

Great classic old pub, cask ales and bottled beers with a good selection of wine and spirits. Food is very good and all home made. Dogs allowed and covered smoking area. Most live sports shown on TVs.

Passing thought we would pop in to this little PUB. The landlord Raj was lovely as was Lisa. Happy place good drink of beer. Well definitely call in again.

Came here for my step dads birthday and booked out a corner of the pub. Despite it being a small pub there was plenty of space. The food was amazing tho...it was like Indian tapas, there were about 6 different types of Indian food and it was beautiful! Thank you again guys!

Friendly landlord ; good choice of beers ( two on all the time and reguar changing guests ) - Indian Thali nights advertised and appear very popular. Real ciders available at £3.95 a pint , as well as the usual largers Nice friendly atmosphere -worth the short walk from the High Street down to pay this pub a visit.

Great place to watch stoke on the tele

Very nice an clean very friendly, from a visitin lorry driver

Great Ales and a great burgers! Owen the chef is a warm and friendly guy and his food tastes great! Happy food and happy people.
