Old Bull's Head Inn

The Old Bull's Head Inn (commonly called The Bulls Head or simply The Bulls) is a historic pub in the centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England. It sits tucked just off the main High Street along Lad Lane, in a town that holds a market every Tuesday and Thursday. The pub is described by its operator as a charming, old-fashioned house and the oldest in Newcastle, with origins dating back to the 14th century; its interior is certified by low beams and a cosy snug with a log burner, and a small enclosed beer garden sits at the rear. The Old Bull's Head is operated as a Brewery Tap by Joule's Brewery, a small Staffordshire/Shropshire brewer based in Market Drayton. As a Joule's taphouse it serves the brewery's core range — Joule's Pale Ale, Slumbering Monk, Pure Blonde and the English craft lager Green Monkey — alongside a rotating seasonal ale and cold craft beer, all brewed in Market Drayton with pure Shropshire mineral water. The pub also offers guest ales, real fire, beer snacks, regular music and entertainment, a dart board and teams, and welcomes children and dogs. It opens seven days a week and all day, with hours running from noon until 9pm early in the week, later towards the weekend, and until 7pm on Sundays. Its town-centre location makes it a convenient stop for visitors and locals alike, with easy parking in one of the town's main car parks about a five-minute walk away. The pub positions itself as a match-day destination for Stoke City supporters, offering a pint before the bus ride to the game. As part of Joule's estate of around 40 Brewery Taps, the Old Bull's Head is run by a tenant who operates it as their own business, a model Joule's describes as central to the strength of each of its taphouses.

The Old Bull's Head Inn is a pub in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England, described by its operator as the oldest pub in Newcastle and dating back to the 14th century. It stands tucked away just off the main High Street along Lad Lane, in a town centre that hosts a market every Tuesday and Thursday. Its historic character is expressed in low beams and a cosy snug with a log burner, and a small enclosed beer garden lies at the back. In the modern era the pub forms part of the Joule's Brewery estate. Joule's is a small brewer based in Market Drayton, Shropshire, whose pale ales famously originated from Stone in Staffordshire, where beer had been brewed since at least the 16th century. The former Joule's Brewery stood on Stone High Street, and the modern brewery was completed in 2010 behind the Red Lion, an original Joule's pub in medieval Market Drayton. Joule's brews around 7,000 barrels a year and mainly serves its collection of about 40 Brewery Taps, together with a small group of loyal free-trade customers and partners. Each taphouse is run by a tenant who operates it as their own business. As one of those Brewery Taps, the Old Bull's Head serves Joule's core range — Pale Ale, Slumbering Monk, Pure Blonde and the English craft lager Green Monkey — alongside a rotating seasonal ale and cold craft beer, all brewed in Market Drayton with pure Shropshire mineral water. The pub also offers guest ales, real fire, beer snacks, regular music and entertainment, a dart board and teams, and welcomes children and dogs. It opens seven days a week and all day, with hours from noon to 9pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, noon to 11pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, noon to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and noon to 7pm on Sundays. Its town-centre position, with parking about five minutes away, and its proximity to buses to Stoke make it a popular match-day stop for Stoke City supporters.
