A crowd of us gathered here after a visit to the nearby Titanic Brewery, fortunately it was fairly quiet as the Port Vale fans had departed for the football match. A truly superb pub and Bob the Manager kindly gave some of us a lift to Longport Station (which used to be called Burslem before they built another one in the town centre only for that one to be closed in 1964). My fountain pen had run out of ink and my 'phone was out of battery so I did not make a note of all the beers available but a good range of Titanic cask and keg beers were available along with a good selection of Cotleigh ales.

Opening time at 12:00 and both bars of the pub became busy within a few minutes. I find that Burslem's pubs seem to be either excellent or absolutely awful with nothing in between, this is one of the excellent ones.

A good visit from 12:00 opening for about three hours, we sat in the right hand bar which boasts Devil among the Taylors, Bar Billiards and a 45rpm juke box. We purchased some superb pork pies to accompany our beer. I noticed that a micropub has opened opposite this pub but I will leave that one for another day.

The final stop at the end of a busy day.

Quiet

Late evening and a happy crowd in the bars.

Evening visit, friendly and efficient bar staff. I was tempted to play some vinyl on the 45rpm juke box but I was afraid that Charlie Drake's "My Boomerang Won't Come Back" might get me thrown out. This pub is now a regular stockist of Harvey's Elizabethan Ale in bottles.
