Bursley Ale House, Stoke-On-Trent

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.
