Our final stop in Burslem was the Bursley Ale House. There were probably about 4 times more customers in here than in our other 3 pubs combined.

There are a couple of rooms on the ground floor - the bar is in a small room to the right, with further seating in a slightly larger area to the left. Both rooms were busy, especially the bar area. Most customers were of older age groups. I'm not sure the dance music playing would necessarily have been there cup of tea, but they didn't seem to mind. A couple of younger customers were sat out to the front of the pub and I believe there was an upper floor with seating too.

At the bar, Wye Valley Butty Bach is the regular cask ale. Guests were Oakham Citra & Lymestone Ein Stein. Another handpull was clipped with a stout, but the clip was turned round. The cider was Lilley's Mango.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bursley Ale House

Really a mini-pub rather than a micro one in terms of size, but the ethos is definitely of the former ilk. You approach the fine old building, formerly a wine bar, through a tidy front beer garden and find a small room with the counter directly ahead and the casks in a cool-store cabinet to the right. With only a few bar-stools in this part, the main seating area is in a modernised room on the left-hand side. Five real ales and two ciders in a range of styles on the bank of seven handpumps, from which I opted for the Burton Bridge Damson Porter (£3.20).

A well supported community pub, serving five ales and two ciders from handpump. As this was originally a town house and not a purpose built pub, there is no cellar here. So all their beers and ciders are found on stillage, situated in a chiller cabinet on the right hand side of the bar. I decided to go for the Oakham Bishops Farewell, but unfortunately it had just finished. No problem there as one of the locals, poured us an Oakham JHB straight from the cask.
We found this pub to be very welcoming and it wasn't long until we were chatting away with everyone. Another nice touch was the landlady brought round some snacks in bowls for everyone and the local Bombay mix was hot and spicy. The pub also hosts a pie and peas night on Tuesday nights, which are made locally and will only set you back a couple of quid.
