If I could give 0 stars I would. The minute you walk in the smell of excrement hits you! Tried to say something to the bar staff and they were rude and obnoxious. No where near the atmosphere it held as the White Star and no Titanic Beer's!!

We normally always go here on a Saturday night for Gary's soul and motown night. 12 of us went in last night and the lady behind the bar said they had got rid of the soul and motown night now for the future. We have been coming years for this. I asked for a drink, I got my drink and it was sour. I complained and found out the man behind the bar went decided to just do me a different drink without telling me because they didn't have what I wanted. It also stunk of drainage in there. Everyone was holding there noses and putting there nose in their tops. We ended up leaving our drinks and going Liqour Vaults.

Visited the place in connection with a football trip where Stoke were to play at home. It is a cozy place and it is clear that on match days it is a place where people meet before the match. It was possible to watch other football matches on the screen and the staff made every effort to serve people as efficiently as possible. The beer was excellent and so was the clientele. I didn't try the food but it was said to be quite good.

They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels valued and taken care of. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly second to none, and it's evident in every aspect of your visit.

They excel in providing a welcoming and accommodating atmosphere for gatherings of all kinds. Whether it's a corporate meeting, a celebration, or a special event, they ensure that every detail is attended to, allowing you to focus on what matters most. In addition to the fantastic food and impeccable hospitality, the Kingsway offers a remarkable selection of real ales, standard lagers, and premium lagers.

New owners are good. Beers are good. Sport on plus disco i think Friday. Bit pricier than other pubs in stoke but for the bit extra I think it's worth it. Haven't had food but everything I have seen looks very nice. Also haven't met a member of staff that isn't really good, nice and welcoming. Definitely dog friendly 👍

Served by Sarah who was instantly engaging,warm and friendly. She really was great fun and despite being on her own kept the whole bar in order and it was great to chat with some other fabulous characters. Pity i'm going to miss the Elvis tribute this weekend.

I don't normally like 1 star reviews that are from people who haven't been there but when you advertise opening hours then stick to them. I walked just shy ofb2 miles to get there at 13:15 for a 12:00 advertised opening and nonsign of life. A couple of locals told us they opening times have been "flexible" for the last few weeks. Don't mess people about.

Could have understood if it was busy but it was far from. Very disappointed ended up going elsewhere. The website needs updating or stating no orders taken after 5.30pm.

Visited the furlong along with two friends for a Christmas meal. Fast attentive service. Staff checked at all stages how was our meal. Checked if we needed further drinks as they noticed our glasses were empty. Christmas three course meal was delicious. Would recommend. Has pies and lasagne. Of which were home made they are always lush with plenty of fresh meat. I'm very surprised people complain as we visit often, and used the pub during covid for food delivery's. And never a poor service or bad quality food. Well done team furlong. See you in the new year..

Initially I thought the prices were too high in comparison with the food but upon tasting it was absolutely clear that this food tastes worse than a 3 day old donner kebab. I find it difficult to understand how anyone who calls themselves a chef can produce such substandard food. Eat here only if you have money to burn and no taste buds. Good luck
