The Greyhound Inn, Newcastle Under Lyme

This is a Titanic Brewery pub which serves their full range of beers and the odd guest beer. I've been there a few times recently and the beer has been in excellent condition.
Clean and comfortable with a small area to the front for open air drinking etc.
You may struggle to get a seat on week-end evenings.
Food available lunchtimes and evenings.
Reasonable efficient staff although not particularly friendly. Other than that, it's a pub that is hard to find fault with.

The Old Brown Jug, Newcastle under Lyme

This is still the best pub in town. It has an extensive beer range, including many beers not found elsewhere in Newcastle and an excellent range of ciders in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere without being pretentious.
Popular with all ages including a large contingent of younger drinkers although the only nights to avoid if you want to have a conversation are Wednesdays and Sundays when they have live music.
Not much evidence of food other than pickled eggs (highly recomended) and bar snacks.
It has a heated outside area which has piped music.
Efficient and friendly staff. Good service even when busy.
