| The Holy Inadequate was the best pub of 11 we tried in North Staffordshire yesterday. This was partly due to the beer festival taking place and the excellent range of ales. But then I expect they have a fair few on at the bar at any given time anyway. The interior appeared like a warren at first. There are a number of different drinking areas inside, plus an enclosed courtyard and another more exposed area at the edge of the car park on the outside. Festival beers were being served from a small outhouse. Beers on at the bar and for the festival were Joules Pale Ale, Mallinsons Centennial BX, 4T's Master & Side, Sadlers Suncatcher, Blueball Kitty von Maibock & Ch St Porter, Coastal Fools IPA, Beowulf Dragon Smoke Stout, Buxton Black Rocks & Jaw Gate, Three Tuns Steam Punk, Tiny Rebel Urban IPA & Full Nelson, Blue Monkey Infinity+1, Hop Studio Obsidian, Dark Star Festival & Hophead, Marble Summer, Phoenix White Tornado, Abbeydale Dr Morton's Pocket Anchovies, Off Beat Rasp'Wheat, Newby Wyke Black Squall & Slipway, Red Willow Seamless & Magic Rock Curious. Ciders were Sandford Orchards Strawberry Lane, Westons Special Reserve & Rosies Triple D. Great little pub that I hope to return to some day. blue_scrumpy - 26 Aug 2013 21:54 |
| Superb pub with great staff and locals as well an amazing choice of beers; something for everyone from stouts to summer beers. You can walk it off with a canalside walk to Stoke on Trent afterwards. A must go to pub. Steamer1 - 19 Aug 2012 18:32 |
| Now renamed 'The Holy Inadequate'. Cleaned up, nice decor and hundreds of pump clips on show from all the ales they have served. 5 pumps with more on the way featuring all breweries except the Big guys!! Blue Monkey, Marble, Bradfield etc, great choice. pubdog1 - 10 Feb 2012 15:33 |
| Traditional local,with a corner entrance and a dart board to the left of the bar and a small lounge area to the right.Interior is slightly dominated by Sky Sports but the regulars do like their sport . Bombadier and Adnams Broadside on handpumps and OK but the pub is quiet and I dont think they shift real ale in any quantity. The attractive etched glass windows still carry the prevoius name,The Shelton Bar ,named after the Shelton Bar steelworks which stood closeby until closure in the 80's and now completely obliterated from the face of the Potteries.A revival of the old name would be a fitting testament to the old works and those that grafted there.Pub is close to the Trent and Mersey canal but does fall into the category of "use it or loose it",which would be a great shame.
