Reviews

   This was first visit to this pub with a group of work colleagues in a works nights out. I have to say although I have passed this pub many times over the years I was pleasantly surprised by the size and the welcome we were greeted with when we entered. Friendly staff, well stocked bar with plenty of choice, many comfortable seating areas and a lovely outdoor garden with plenty of seats, with what looked a pizza oven. The pub was very clean and looked very well taken care of. I will definitely consider popping in again some time

   This is a pub with the older clientele. All locals, we walked in was like a Western. Can't even raise your voice with out been looked at. Beer selection is limited to craft beers/ale. After they have responded I would like to go back and try it out again on a saturday afternoon. I went on a sunday. I have heard great things so I will be back to see the different vibe

   Great place, great staff, very cheerful, polite and pleasant. Very clean, great selection of beer and cider. They make their own drinks, which are quite good. Definitely, if you are a beer lover, you should come here

   I am 71, and this is in my top 3 pubs and beers of all time! The Citra brewed here was excellent, but the Tickety Boo was even better. Pork pies too make up my ideal pub.

   Belter of a pub. Brew their own beer that is unbelievably good! Great atmosphere with a proper old school boozer atmosphere. Warm open fire surrounded by traditional decor. Main room wraps around in an ‘L’ shape with plenty of tables. Also a large separate room and roomy outdoor covered seating area. Top drawer pub. Certainly one of the best I’ve been to!

   If you pass through Etruria, Stoke, try the ' Holy Inadequate' Just off Black Prince Marina. 9 real ales, including their own micro brews, and 3 real ciders. No idiots allowed as Paul the landlord has this place just right. No hot food offering but a fantastic pork pie and scotch egg available, great little snack. Proper traditional boozer with great ale, nice atmosphere and real people. Also I have been in! (ask the landlady what I mean)

   A fantastic pub with a great selection of drinks and the nicest staff and owners ever, it's not a foodie pub so it's bar snacks (and amazing pork pies!) Friendly and warm atmosphere and you can tell it has a fantastic community of interesting regulars. Lovely covered beer garden out back with plenty of seating for smokers, and when it's cooler there's two lovely log burners that make the pub extra cozy :) I'm not an ale drinker but my friends are and they really enjoyed the in-house brews. Also they have some books and games in the back room so it's a great spot to meet up with friends, with plenty of really good local takeaways for if you get hungry. Also lovely that the place is dog friendly! And can personally attest that if you're looking for a place where you can go for the first time on your own, you'll have a warm welcome here!

   Great selection of craft and real ales, lagers, and beers including many from their own brewery, 'Inadequate'. Free parking, and friendly staff. Great pub.

   I tried many pubs in England, never seen a pub as professional as this one in craft beers, I can remember once upon a time I was on my way from London to Manchester, I diverged from M6 to A500 just for one reason and this is was to try one the most best full bodies beers I’ve ever drunken. This is Tickety-boo. This pub has its own brewery running by a real alchemist! Recommend to everyone.
