The Chairman left this review about Ye Olde Crown
Paid a quick visit while in the are on a football day. The pub was fairly busy with loud music playing and a limited choice of cask beer. I had a Butcombe Haka which was OK but didn't live up to the hype of a "3 pint" beer quality rating on the CAMRA website - it was more like a 3 in the NBSS ratings. Not a pub to feel overly comfortable in for me, so I moved on.

The Olde Crown looks like a fairly traditional pub from the outside, but has been opened out somewhat inside with two front rooms acting as shrines for the local Port Vale Football Club and a rear room used as a live music venue with Northern Soul appearing to be popular.
Its varied cask ale selection has also meant it now appears in the Good Beer Guide. There are 5 handpulls. 1 was unclipped, but the others had Beartown Kahuna, Greene King Abbot, Thornbridge Jaipur & Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby. Ciders were Aspall's & Carling Black Fruits.
Probably best avoided on Port Vale home matchdays, but worthy of inclusion on any tour of Burslem on any other day. We were joined by just one other customer whilst we visited, allowing us to have a good mooch around.

A decent pub which is very much adorned with Port Vale memorabilia. 4 handpumps with 3 cask and 1 cider. Music memorabilia in the back part of the pub.
