The Sneyd Arms, Keele

Nice pub and good beer. Expensive though apart from the GREAT food deals.

I have been here. I strongly recommend this place. Especially the Sunday meal and the pub quizzes! Bob is a legend. Have chatted with him on a fair few occasions!

I went in the other day and the interior looks like a shoddy Yates wine bar. It looks so charming and rustic on the outside but so tacky and crap on the inside. Furniture - appalling, lighting - offensive. It could be amazing. But it needs work

[paulrandomview]

Aha, but what about the Students?!! We kept the place afloat from 1986-1990, cashing cheques for £2 a pop, much to the enragement of the red-faced publican "Geoff" in charge at the time. He drove a large, dilapidated Toyota Crown estate, which reflected his own effervescent personality. Then after that was some moustachioed twit. The students provide 90% of the business, not you clowns in the pubic bar!!! LOL

Brings back great memories went to Keele 2001-05. In fact I remember Bob the narrator of this video well a nice man.

Nice to see it again, but it looks very different from how it was 1967-1971 when I was a student at The Hawthorns. All very basic then and they certainly didn't do food. The landlord was spectacularly gruff and not a fan of students, despite the fact we were his economic salvation.Seem to remember we called him 'The Bear'....a bulky man with a big beard.

Do students still go there?No signs of any in this video clip.

[Fizzics182]

Ye they do, a lot of students go for roast dinners. It's also used as a stop-off during pub golf runs, went there this year for one in fact as part of rugby

[Empirical1980]

@oldpaw They do but reluctantly. The inside of the pub has been absolutely ruined. They've tried to make it look McDonalds.

[jury1985]

I've just left Keele and spent my final year living at Hawthornes, so I know the the pub and its location very well! I made sure I had one last pint on my final day - happy days lol!

[andygosnet]

Bet people have never seen Bob and Fred Elliott in the same room .. i said .... Had many a happy hour in the Sneyd during my time at the Hawthorns 1982-85 - good luck to all who sail in her :-)

[Sazzyk66]
