The White Star in Stoke-on-Trent

It was an OK pub my hubby usually gets a good feel about a pub ,but he didn't get a good feel about this one

Looking for a place to have a nice evening with friends? Then you are at the right place! Our evening was so soulful that I have only enthusiastic feelings. Thanks to the staff for their respectful attitude and sensitivity. We'll be back here again!

Lovely big spacious pub,with a good friendly atmosphere

I enjoyed my time with my partner the staff where lovely and I'd recommend coming here. The carling strong fruit is a must for cider drinkers not heavy on the stomach and its a nice play for a night out

New landlord and lady offer a very warm welcome. Good beer offers, all under £4, weekend deals on spirits and shots. Welcomes Stoke fans on match days, providing pre match snacks at affordable prices.

Absolutely brilliant night they had a si ger on which was really good atmosphere was brill defo go back

Great pub.. lovely atmosphere and brilliant staff 👌

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.

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!!

Great time great staff and kareoke is always fun. 👌

Guinness not as good as it used to be in this pub

Lovely food very pleasant staff could just have been bit warmer

Great pub ,run and staffed by great people and always give people a warm welcome

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.

Eaten at The Kings Way twice. First time it was steak 🥩. Was cooked spot on to my liking. Second time it was the combo for two. Good value! My daughter and I just about managed to finish it 😋. Good selection of beers too👍.

Food is fresh and delicious, staff are polite, friendly, pleasant and so helpful.

It was quiet when I went early doors the beer was nice and the place was clean. Staff very friendly.

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.

I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing this wonderful establishment for yourself—you won't be disappointed!

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 👍

Great match day pub in the heart of Stoke!

Good pub with upstairs function room

Awesome place great atmosphere and very welcoming staff will definitely use as a regular watering hole

Great friendly service by all staff and chef! Pies were fantastic. Deserves to be busier!

Great bar ,great staff,superb selection of music and artists ..... Spotless toilets not a lot more to say except great pint of Guinness

The Sunday roast was lovely. And the staff were really nice.

Great place to go for a beer since done up.

Nice craft beers, now under other brewery but still an awesome pace for a few drinks, karaoke and food

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, clean pub, lots of choice for food too!

We had our Daughters 1st Birthday party in the function room and I can honestly say we were amazed at the generosity and the overall loveliness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Everybody said what a lovely room it was. We will definitely be coming back here if we need to book somewhere and also in between. 😊 You guys are great!! Thanks again for everything!!

Good selection of beers and quick service at the bar.

Went on a week night so it wasn't busy. Staff were very friendly

It's an ok place but was asked to leave as I fell asleep not through alcohol but through medical condition won't go back

This pub as just had a massive makeover and under new ownership. The beer is spot on and Pete and hayley are doing a great job and make us feel really welcome.

The bar manager was picking her nose and sitting on a stool watching a film on her mobile phone she served me and my friend two pints in two very dirty glasses, my glass had heavy brown stains down the side and my friends glass had lots of lipstick around the rim, I wouldn't advise anyone to visit now

Great place and great staff Saturday disco always good

Titanic beer has very much improved

Excellent management and bar staff very friendly

Really enjoyed a pint of cider in friendly atmosphere in the White Star. Its nice to see traditional pubs still exist. Visited on a Tuesday afternoon and had a pint of cider only £4. 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.

Loads of designer outlets guaranteed to buy something. Plenty of free parking. Lots of eateries close by if you wanted to make a day of it.

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.

This used to be a great pub but recently gone down hill since the backing of the titanic brewing went away, Running out of beers on a Saturday night is not the way to run a pub properly…!

Massive selection of great cask ales (and keg if that's your thing). Tim Taylor's Landlord is my absolute fave and it seems to be a permanent fixture on the bar, and well kept. You should come over after signing the book of condolences for the Queen at Kings Hall.

This pub is great,with nice beer,and the Steve was good. The pub was really clean especially the toilets

Good choice of drinks, friendly bar staff, good music and location.

Good atmosphere old fashioned pub with music

You guys are right IV moved it up to a 3 ..you can't judge somewhere on a coffee .sorry guys..I will call back and tip you as I know you work hard. thanks for feed back ........

There was five of us we went for a meal on Saturday 1st of July when we got there the table was being cleaned and then we ordered the food they did not have what it said on the website so two of us was going to have lasagne and they only have one so I had jacket potato with bacon and cheese and my friend had the lasagne both of them was cold so we sent them back the ask if we want free drinks my two other friends had the drinks and we had the money back we waited a long time for the food 🙃

Quite good, beers were in good condition nice selection. Nice clean and tidy pub excellent service. Nothing of note to fall out over

Fantastic night at Angies retirement do staff were brilliant good music free jukebox later All made welcome

Always nice to see someone with the enthusiasm of Simon in charge of an iconic pub like this. Lots of new ideas while keeping the important bits going like good ale and a DJ at the weekend nights. Keep up the good work ☺️☺️

Quirky pub with an interesting history and delightful staff

Very expensive 4 pound 4 a plint of strong bow go around the corner and it's €4.84 for two

Great pub...Great management and the best Guinness in Stoke and a great selection of real ales. I would highly recommend

Yes, it was a Saturday night and busy. No trouble getting served still. Great atmosphere.

For fans of the local Titanic Brewery, this place is a must. Great selection of local and traditional ales. Guest gins, ciders and more. Good food too, all in a historically laden atmosphere. Brilliant.

Very nice pub. I last went in when it was Charlie Brown's. Years ago.

We visit every stoke home game for a meal, the new menu is great, food was piping hot also tasted great!! Really glad they have updated the menu!! Always come for a match day and will continue forever!! Will recommend si and the team are great!!!

An absolute pleasure, we are in the Stoke for a dancing competition but the kitchen was closed. So the landlord make me a sandwich, one of the best pubs I have ever visited staff absolutely beyond doubt the nicer I have met in a very long time.

Celebrated our wedding reception here on 12 March 2022, could not fault anything, free function room so how can you go wrong. Easy commute if you are getting married at King's Hall stoke. Simon and his staff are amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend for any occasion. Thankyou Simon and staff for a lovely night

Nice pub good bercwell looked after

Cracking Pub , used this pub for a number of years when it was a titanic pub especially on match day when stoke are at home, haven’t been in a while but was in stoke for a works meal at a nearby restaurant so called in for a few pints , Great pub with a really good selection of beers and real ales on, Nice and clean with super friendly staff, everyone in the pub , staff and drinkers all very happy and friendly, really competitive prices too, I wasn’t driving but it been on the end of the Car park was really handy as I can’t walk to far , Will definitely be back

Been coming here for many years and I can safely say the new management is by far the friendliest I've ever seen. Saturday evenings are a must with quality music and the best Guinness in Stoke On Trent.

this landlord needs our support. open mike every Wednesday postscript.i forgot about the cheese and wine.great value and delicious!

Not what we know off the white star very cold no atmosphere Manager rude and unwelcoming the only thing going for this pub is the orange bicycle disco must of seen at least £200 worth of customers walk out the smell is awful dirty tables disgusting toilets dirty tables and the plum Porter is not titanic standards never returning!!!!!!

Hi. The beer selection was quite poor, there was no ice so soft drinks were warm, and glasses were dirty, as well as the tops of glasses being handled by staff. Just all in all not great. Very friendly staff, but not great other than that.

Great pub. Always love visiting here. Thank you guys.

Simon is a fab bloke. Couldn't wish for a better host 😁

First time in the pub...need to increase non alcoholic range. Food was good if limited in choice. Pleasant experience

Be warned that at 7:30 on Saturdays they suddenly start playing very loud club style music. Had an unpleasant experience but at normal times the food/beer/atmosphere are really very good.

Fantastic pub with Simon a great landlord come chef come DJ. Always get a warm welcome

A fine balance between modern and old school

Titanic beers friendly staff nice and clean, check out the homemade burgers

A local pub handy for Kings Hall events. It's not posh but pleasant staff.

Having really good fun, great venue, the food is absolutely awesome.. Great menu in offer.. The beers are good too

Food is well cooked and very tasty. Reasonable prices for what you get. Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and a very quiet pub.

Excellent service, great food, would recommend!

Excellent food, and great atmosphere, friendly staff ☺️ I'll be back again

Excellent range of real ales, friendly staff and a challenging Thursday quiz. Always made to feel welcome. Great pub in Stoke city centre.

Great to see the place open again, and still serving Plum Porter.

Nice friendly atmosphere 👌 nice beers too.

Great to be back here after the closure. The pub feels essentially the same as before, with Titanic beers supplemented by some from other breweries. The beers I had were in great condition, and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic pub. Friendly staff and manager all very welcoming. Great selection of drink. Great entertainment. Overall a fantastic pub in the heart of Stoke

Nice friendly pub with really nice beer.

Shame to hear that Titanic are pulling the plug, I can't see anyone else investing in the building as a pub !

Only one star for the simple fact I am exempt from wearing a mask due to a medical condition and was refused service for even sitting outside ..shocking attitude from the management would not recommend at all !

Nice little Titanic pub in the centre of Stoke, sells lots of nice ales and had a great time with friends. The pub is exceptionally clean, and follows covid rules down to the letter, so felt very safe and secure.

Great beer and great bar snacks, perfect combo!

Love this place! Real Ale at its finest, Had a plum porter and omg .... like silk!

I’ve eaten here twice and the foods always been great! Lovely, hearty meals. And it’s the perfect pub just for a pint!

The reception from the manager was even colder than the room and that was like ice

My parents owned this pub back in the day

Great pub in the heart of Stoke. Good selection of drinks for everyone. Staff are friendly polite and a joy to be around. At the moment no cooked food but the pork pies and sausage rolls are fabulous! Try for yourself!!

Great food, great beer, fab staff. And some interesting history.

Great beers, miserable bar staff. I ordered 2 drinks mine and a friends not knowing what the wives wanted? When the miserable bar tender came back with the drinks I asked for 2 white wines to which he replied "can you order all your drinks at the same time when we are busy?"

Just been to have Sunday lunch food was excellent value for money 12.00 for two will definitely be back and highly recommend you to try well done white star

Beer's a bit hit and miss but would recommend.

Great place great atmosphere great staff

Nice cozy pub with Titanic Brewery beers and Titanic theme (White Star Line Ship and Captain Smith was born in Hanley)... Great selection of beers, spirits and good quality varied food menu for reasonable prices... Good friendly and welcoming atmosphere inside, great place to visit for a few drinks and something to eat or when there is live music at night! Seating available outside and function room upstairs... Highly recommend and will definitely return. 👍🍺🍹🍷🍸🍻😎😎

Another good curry with good service as usual would highly recommend for decent pub grub

The website says the food times are up to 6.00pm on a Sunday but this is the second time we have been refused food at 5.35 pm in the last few months. 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. Apart from that everything is fine.
