There are a couple of things which stop The Old Brown Jug from being my local... firstly, the…read morelocation... it's not local to me which doesn't help as it means I have to drive there (a great opportunity to mention the ample parking outside). Secondly, the price. The Old Brown Jug is a bit more expensive than you're average pub. I view it as a place I go to as a treat or as a one off rather than a regular place otherwise you would just be skint all the time. One thing which does take me there is the great selection of drinks on offer. The pub has a number of continental beers such as my favourite Erdinger and also has a range of real ales and ciders. Thursday night is cheap cider night so a good chance to get along and test out some new brews!! The pub itself is very spacious with rustic wooden floors and a homely feel. The garden out the back is huge with plenty of seating and is covered by parasols and heaters meaning you can stay relatively dry if the weather takes a turn for the worse. A top pub in the Stoke area and well worth checking out.

They have a great selection of casks ales and gins with a menu of classic British dishes and some modern classics. We went as group of four and had an amazing time. You are made to feel very welcome and can tell it's a family ran pub, that gives that "local pub" feel. To eat we had a beautiful salad with goat cheese, liver and onions with an amazing bacon mash, sirloin steak and an incredible looking and tasting steak and kidney pie.

I met up with some coworkers for my last night in the area, grabbed a pint of a local cask ale (can't quite remember the name, but no matter: it's not something available back home), and sat out back in the beer garden. Head in on a Friday night for some good beer, friendly locals...then maybe shoot some darts or belt out karaoke. If I'm back in the area, this is a must.

I'd love to go back here on another hot day and eat outside. Lots of dogs and babies around the grass area, making it a more up market family pub set in pretty surroundings. Need to come back here!

I decided to come here for breakfast after spending the night in nearby Stoke-On-Trent. The look and feel of the place is pretty laid back and similar to any other in the Lounges chain. The staff here seemed friendly and were happy to modify my breakfast without complaining. I ordered the GF Lounge Breakfast with the following changes: - Poached Eggs instead of fried - An extra egg instead of the GF roll (I hate seeded bread!) - An extra sausage instead of the bacon I was a bit disappointed with the quality of my food. My food was served without the allergen red flag, I did clarify this with the manager who brought out my food who confirmed it was gluten-free. I later found out the flag was placed in the beans, which were originally missing when my food was brought out. After making the staff member aware, he brought them straight out but they were served cold. The eggs were very overdone and were like rocks, and the hash browns could have been crispier. The tomato was also much smaller than usual. The sausages were tasty as always, but again they were warm at best and not hot. I ended up eating my meal because I was tired and hungry and wanted to take medication but I did feel the quality of food overall was not up to the usual standards set by other locations in the Loungers chain. 2*
