The Hem Heath is a Hungry Horse pub located in Trentham on land that was the site of the Hem Heath Colliery.

The pillory pub sign depicts a mole emerging from the ground wearing a miners a pit helmet and holding a pickaxe. The pub name is written at the bottom of the sign in white lettering. A fitting memory for the mining carried out at this location.

The Hem Heath is a large, modern, new-build pub on the edge of the Trentham Lakes Industrial Park. It was opened in April 2012 by Greene King as a Hungry Horse operation, the vast majority of the pub is dedicated to the food trade. Named after the famous local colliery, the history of the site can be found adorning the walls, and there is a cinema screen to the far left of the pub showing a variety of films.
