A little bit about us…
Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. Located in the heart of the town, close to the main shopping areas, Yates Newcastle-Under-Lyme is known for craft and cask beers as well as fabulous cocktails. Popular for our food menu, which provides options until late. There is great coverage of all live sports with screens throughout. The weekend is renowned for the best party in the town with DJs who rock the venue until the early hours. All this and large outdoor seating provide the opportunity for external drinks, making us a popular venue. We pride ourselves on delivering a top-class range of drinks, an excellent value food offer, and creating that all-day-long atmosphere.
