After departing Beartown Brewery and picking up at Congleton Bus Station, there will hopefully be an extra stop at The Vine in Pittshill, Stoke-on-Trent. The Vine was recently awareded the CAMRA Heritage award. The Vine is a perfect example of a back-street Victorian local, hidden away in the terraced streets of Tunstall, with an interior of outstanding national historic importance. The Grade II listed pub showcases classic features such as a partly glazed partition wall, off-sales hatch with an intact rising sash window and a 1950s tiled fireplace.
