Keele Postgraduate Association (KPA) in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Nice atmosphere, and a banging burger.

Had huge technical issues and our food was later than expected but Adam helped us out hugely. Thankyou Adam

Cool bar and outdoor area, good beers and staff, I deffo recommend a pint or 2 here 👍 10/10 to the team ✨

Great atmosphere, nice pint sand good deals!

I've always admired this place from the outside and was thrilled to finally visit. We had some free time on a Wednesday and decided to pop in. It wasn't very busy, which made for a nice and cozy, peaceful experience. The hospitality was excellent. The live music added a wonderful touch, and the outdoor patio is perfect for summertime. While the drink prices are a bit high, the positive vibe and atmosphere make it worth it.

Child and dog friendly. The Sundays dinners are the best 😀

Such a shame, used to be a nice place for a pint and quick food in the summer. Not sure what's happened. The place is in need of a good clean. Pint glasses majority of the time are dirty and this is the 2nd time we ve had undercooked food. Won't be going back anytime soon.

Lovely staff and lovely place. Delicious food and worth the visit :) A hidden gem in the campus.

Went with family and friends, food all came out together , piping hot and service with a smile, really enjoyable.

Super place, very good feel with people, beers etc. & food. We mostly pop in for lunch during the week. Nice to relax before going back to the library where i'm doing a little local history research. The campus has some nice walks by the way.

Bar a bit small so queuing inevitable but food and drinks well priced and good quality, great atmosphere and music, with live jazz band last Friday night. Used to park outside but now there's railing and no cars so think it's not possible anymore

Great place to meet friends for a beer and some food. Dog friendly, too 🐾

Nice little place. Went to watch a jazz band. Sadly the coffee machine wasn't working

Heard a lot about this place and especially how kid friendly it is. Tried it a few Sundays ago and loved it. Very friendly and welcoming, great beers and food. Looking forward to going back

Attended the campus with work on an "away day" we spent nearly 3 hours in KPA instead where we should haver been, brilliant little bar, just not big enough for the 150 or so of us.

Great place to meet with friends, or gather with your clubs and societies.

Great food always and the staff are grealt

Nice bar. Good friendly staff. Great place to meet your daughter/son when visiting them at Uni for a pint and food. Popular with students as busy. Outdoor covered area.

spent hundreds here, gonna spend hundreds more

We visited following a gig at the S.U. what a great, cosy venue!

Loving staff with great food and drinks. Priced great for students with happy hours. There is indoor and outdoor seating and has great decor.

Amazing little pub, lovely staff and lot's of different beers to chose from!

Cracking venue for a relaxing drink!

Am a bit old to hang in here at night, but was a lovely put stop while moving my daughter back to uni

Staying at the uni for a conference. The staff are very helpful. The range of beers is great, including an excellent craft ale. The bar prices are very competitive too. Thank you.

Weekend conference at Keele University so made use of on campus facilities like the KPA. Enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, welcoming bar and security staff plus the Hazy IPA was in good condition too. Cheers 🍻

Had food and drinks here a couple of times now and each time its been great. It isn't expensive but tastes just as good as somewhere in town. Always happy to return here!

As Keele alumni it's always a pleasure to pop in and reminisce. Friendly staff and great surroundings.

We visit this place during our walks with kids and our dog. It's a warm and welcoming spot suitable for families and dog owners of all ages. The reasonably priced food, drinks, and excellent service enhance the experience. Occasionally, there's live music by a band, adding to the overall ambience.

It's a small place but very nice, with very good environment.

A lovely place for a drink and a meal after a walk in the woods!

A nice large mug of coffee was very welcome ☕️

Nice pub in Keele University. Warm and welcoming place that makes you want to come back!!! The girls at the counter are kind and prepared!!

Always a very good value place to visit. Good atmosphere.

Popped in for a couple of pints in the evening and there was a great atmosphere without it being too busy. Plenty of space to sit outside and the queue at the bar was short. Great range if beers.

Really nice afternoon chilled atmosphere and good food

Really friendly environment, the KPA is very homely and warm environment. Bright colours, fairy lights, they have it all. Food is delicious and so affordable. Great place to relax and unwind.

Great vibe and feel to the place. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food. Really enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend.

Did not store my Dr Pepper in the fridge

Great place to chill after a hard day's grafting at the academic coalface

Food here is always so good, and the staff and events are fab! Love the kpa, I'd recommended their vegan burger, tastes just like beef but better for the environment! They have board games to make every trip to the kpa exciting!

Great atmosphere, fair prices, amazing quality food and awesome staff!

My favourite bar and my local, offering regularly 3 well kept cask ales and a great food menu. Very friendly and definitely worth a visit. Excellent outside seating.

This pub is the best pub. The staff are amazing and interesting. The venue is euphoric.

Extensive, functional and historical. Excellent campus

The Staff were excellent dealing with power issues on the bar but with a smile , food was really good I had the pork gyros and my partner had the notorious P I G dirty fries and it was really quick service. They also have a good select of beers on draft I had a pint of Blue moon was sure about the orange slice but it seemed to work

Great value, lovely food and drink, great atmosphere and helpful staff!

Lovely Sunday dinner! Salads, burgers and sharing platter all fantastic too. Enjoyed everything I've had. Falafel & humus salad was great today. Healthy comfort food!

Really beautiful uni. Clean, organised and picturess.

Good pub, lively and the beer was also very nice

KPA = Home. Even more special when Sarah H is on tap ❤️

Great place to sit and relax in the sunshine. Excellent choice of 3 rotating guest real ales and beautiful food

1st visit , sat outside was lovely , various ages of people not just students . Service was great and drinks and food excellent

Good service and not too expensive for drinks or food. Staff attentive and efficient. Some good beers and spirits at the bar. A nice outdoor seating area.

The best food and ale in Staffordshire by far .

Our party of 8 were most impressed ! Service was quick, menu was varied and a good stock of ales. Parking so easy. Definitely recommend for a delightful experience.

Great place, had a lovely time sat outside on a lovely evening

What a lovely friendly place, barmaid was soooo nice will go back again when we visit my son

Twas a bank holiday,there was karaoke and the cider was good. That is all

Wow what a place and where to start with kpa being so great , Great food Great drink selection Clean and well preserved Brilliant staff and services Value for money Great entertainment. Highly recommended for a great experience .

Decent beer and food, really nice vibe and super friendly staff.

Excellent value for money, the cheesy chips were fabulous.

We booked in for a Sunday lunch as we were up at the hall for an easter egg hunt, we got shown to our table, staff were very vague on what food, drinks and desserts they actually did and eventually we ordered. We sat for 55 minutes waiting and a couple came 20 minutes after us and got their food 15 minutes before us. When it did come the food was something to be desired

Nice sunday roast flavours good staff good

Student priced drinks with decent variety

Great venue for food, drinks, and being merry. Prices are good as generally.is the food. Staff are lovely and so helpful; nothing is too much trouble. I really enjoy this place. It does have some outside seating also. It also plays lots of good music. Being on campus, it is popular with students. Well worth a visit for a fair priced pint.

Lovely food, great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Cozy pub vibes, has a variety of spirits etc. More expensive than the SU on campus, but provides different vibes. Not many non alcoholic options.

Great place for a Sunday roast also other food aswell through the week, food we had was only luke warm but told staff and they sorted it straight away and they could not be more apologetic about it,they also refunded the price for which we didn't even ask for,lovely people.good prices for food and drink cosy atmosphere.

Excellent bar. Great service and friendly staff.

Very accommodating, great food.

The largest selection of staple removers in the UK- I'll certainly be visiting again!

Helpful friendly staff. Cosy atmosphere. Excellent gluten free options for anyone coeliac.

Friendly and welcoming, good food and great place to take your dog for a post-walk coffee.

Good beer and attentive service.

Such a lovely restaurant and bar. The food is always amazing

Great place to eat and socialise I'm glad my daughter has found her special place

Spent a lot of time there during my Erasmus exchange, loved it.

Always a great place to visit when you're in Keele. Great beer, food and service.

Awful if you're not a conformist. Don't expect personality, don't display your own.

Friendly staff and reasonably priced food.

Sat under noisy extractor fan, meals arrived luke warm over charged when i paid Staff very friendly.

Had an amazing time with our Grandson Luca on The Woodlands trail and Italian Gardens on the Elf Hunt, got lots of great photos. Lovely hot chocolate and flapjack, followed by an amazing Sunday lunch takeaway from the KPA, Would definitely recommend 👌 xxxx

Great food, good drink, lovely staff, top atmosphere

Friendly staff and reasonably priced

Chilled out little gem hidden away on Keele campus. Good selection of beers, the terrace in good weather is a great sunspot.

Typical pub with decent food and a nice selection of booze however it can be a bit cramped so get there early.

The heart and soul of the community. Good food and drinks, very well priced.

Amazing pub, always has great ales and beers on and the best themed nights

Lovely, local atmosphere. KPA ♥️

Decent place and cheap booze with a pool table.

Great food, great service, what's not to love 😍

The best bar in Keele. The staff are really friendly, nice atmosphere, and the food is great.

Honestly the best pub I've ever been to. 10/10.

Friendly atmosphere, good selection of drinks, good alternative to the SU.

Great little bar, friendly staff, cheap beer aswell.

Best place on campus. Very cosy and do loads of events for students and non-students.

A brilliant find, much less 'in your face' than other establishments on campus. The food was good and reasonably priced too, I will be back.

Cosy, relaxed & friendly with a good selection of beers

A lovely student bar in the surreal setting surrounded like a forest like feel
