This pub is a shining light in the the search for quality ales, a Free House that enjoys a glowing reputation among locals and visitors alike, and certainly not inadequate, as the awards received rightly show.

The pub is situated just below the main road between Hanley and Newcastle-under-Lyme, near to now demolished Etruria station, although Stoke Station is only a 30 minute walk along the nearby canal.

The main bar area is large l-shaped comfortable area, with a seperate room behind, plus a deceivingly large outside covered area. The pub features several wonderful artworks including one specially done for the pub.

Up to eight beers are available including beers from their own on-site brewery, Inadequate, which commenced brewing in June 2017. Beers are sourced from anywhere in the UK and from different styles. You'll certainly be spoilt for choice. In addition, up to three real ciders are available plus two KeyKeg lines, along with a range of UK and continental bottled beers and cans. Regular beer festivals are held.

Delicious pork pies and scotch eggs are available all day along with other bar snacks.
