I used to go in regularly years ago , and always found it spooky. Always used to say I'd hate to be working there and left alone when all the customers had gone. Was surprised to see a light bulb on at one of the downstairs windows as I drove past yesterday.I believe it is open, not been in there in 20yrs though.... Sticky sticky carpets....
Where are we going find one of those? Int any on this Forum.If only we had a pub expert who could advise us.

I work with the daughter of the current Landlord and his wife.I do remember going in the Wagon in the 70s but can't remember who the landlord was or the name of the barmaid who served me. How can we find out this vital information?

He was here in August last year.
He had a couple of posts about the Crown & Anchor outbreak in Stone, his last posts before that were in 2018, when he was being harassed by a badger - maybe it got him?So over a year ago?
My main memories are preventing newly ' driving test passed" hubby to be, whacking his front end of his Avenger into another car whilst reversing on the Wagon carpark.I do remember going in the Wagon in the 70s but can't remember who the landlord was or the name of the barmaid who served me.

My brother had his wedding reception in The Antelope. Think that was the first and last time I ventured into the Amtelope.I'll try to have a look next time I drive past during opening hours.....

The Antelope was the last resort, literally! At the top of the Rd, easier to stagger home!My brother had his wedding reception in The Antelope. Think that was the first and last time I ventured into the Amtelope.
It's not a pub I've often used, much preferring as I do the Coach and Horses, so I don't know who kept the Waggon and Horses in the 1970s but about fifteen years ago it was leased by a Mr Griffiths who clearing up on a Saturday or Sunday morning would find empty cans, from supermarkets, left by customers who only bought their first pint of the evening, so no surprise that it then closed for a year or so.I do remember going in the Wagon in the 70s but can't remember who the landlord was or the name of the barmaid who served me.

If only you'd mentioned The Four Crosses you'd have the Holy Trinity of Stafford pubs.It's not a pub I've often used, much preferring as I do the Coach and Horses, so I don't know who kept the Waggon and Horses in the 1970s but about fifteen years ago it was leased by a Mr Griffiths who clearing up on a Saturday or Sunday morning would find empty cans, from supermarkets, left by customers who only bought their first pint of the evening, so no surprise that it then closed for a year or so.
I do though remember a Bents Brewery sign on the pub in the 1970s.
I never used the Four Crosses much either - but with living not far away often used the Four Crosses at Hatherton including on my eighteenth birthday and New Year Eves, and about thirteen years ago when they had a "£1 menu"If only you'd mentioned The Four Crosses you'd have the Holy Trinity of Stafford pubs.
