Nice quiet.train station pub with a grest selection of Titanic beer. Try a Grand Reserve Plumb Porter, one of the best drinks frim Titanic. It closes early at 7pm but a great place to wait while the rush hour traffic dies down.
An ever changing selection of locally brewed cask ales from Titanic. Can access the bar from either the station approach or platform 1.
Love all the Bods but this one had become a regular spot for me for ‘early doors’. Great staff, beers and being located next to the station and university, there’s already a good mix of people in there.
This is a lovely little café/bar to spend time in while waiting for a connecting train. Great atmosphere, really nice coffee, and a much more pleasant place to relax than the main station. The only small bit of feedback I have is about my experience when I first arrived. I was mid-phone call, and the station was (as expected) loud and hectic. I had a quick look around for somewhere quieter to sit and order a coffee, and came across this spot, which was perfect. I found a seat, got settled, and was still mid-call when a staff member approached me—about two minutes in—to ask if I intended to buy anything. I completely understand why they asked: without that, the space could quickly end up being treated more like a waiting area than a café. I’m sure they’ve had people take advantage of the location, and they need to protect the business, so I do think the question is totally valid and fair. That said, I was still on the phone and hadn’t been there long, so it did catch me off guard a little. I had to interrupt my call to explain that I was planning to order as soon as I finished up the conversation and looked at the menu. This is honestly just a tiny reflection, and it doesn’t take away from the lovely atmosphere, the great service, and the quality of the coffee. I’d definitely recommend it and would happily come back. Maybe a small grace period (even 10 minutes) for those arriving mid-call could help avoid these slightly awkward moments, especially when people are genuinely planning to order. I hope this feedback is received in the spirit it’s given – with full appreciation of the lovely space and the challenges that come with running a busy café in a station environment. It’s a great little spot – definitely check it out!
Love Bod! Often visit with friends after work. It's compact but with a good range of booze and a nice atmosphere.
One of my favourite pubs I love when I can change here at Stoke as I can have a cheeky beer on the platform and watch the trains go by. They have a decent food menu when food is on and a good selection of local Staffordshire beers, it's one titanic that you will wish to sink.
Went in for a pint and some food at Stoke station whilst waiting for a train. I was told there was no food on today. Fair enough, that happens. I ordered a pint and asked if I could nip to Subway and bring that in whilst having my drink. I was told no. I thought that was a bit unreasonable considering their food was not available today. Obviously, if their food was on, I would fully understand this stance. In fact, I wouldn't have dreamed of asking if I knew they were serving food! Most pubs that don't do food have no problem with you bringing a sandwich or what not in (a Chinese takeaway would be an entirely different matter, obviously). Pint was nice, though.
Lovely bar, but they need to work harder to see its full potential. Unclear why on a relatively quiet Saturday evening the door to the station is locked. A frame outside on the platform inviting one in, but a locked door, no explanation. No sign. They have some interesting beers, but need to keep the fridge stocked and should diversify their ciders. Everyone is pleasant and it’s probably one of the best railway station bars I’ve been in, the decor is lovely, but don’t lock your door to customers. Manage your business. I’ll definitely be back.
If you want to experience really good coffee in a comfortable, shiny, neon lit eclectic environment bod is where to be. I’ll put my neck out and say that it is one of the most atmospheric coffee shops I’ve ever experienced in a while. Walk in and immediately look up; the glaze of the white and green clay plays trick with the light that is captivating. The cafes furniture begs a lot of time to be expended in its comfort. Walk to the bar area and peer over at the beer and coffee set up. It’s craft at its best. The hipster staff member will see to it that your beverage is poured with an artistic stroke. A superb venue and located in a train station?
