Sutherland Arms, Stoke-On-Trent

The aged floor board front of the Sutherland Arms has a serving counter to the right with seating in the front window and a seating area to the left that was hosting a fiddling folk band during a recent Tuesday evening visit. At the rear is a small carpeted seating area with an iron fireplace that I bet makes it very cosy in here during the winter months. Three hand pumps are supported, two were in use drawing Facer’s Abbey Blonde and Bass, the latter not being my favourite of the day. The service was polite and I enjoyed my visit, although the pub would of only had two customers without the musicians.

Not too bad a place that did serve 2 real ales on this visit but both were standard nationals. Cleaner than some on this stretch.
