The Glebe is a pub located in the heart of old Stoke with the city’s magnificent civic buildings, designed by Henry Ward in 1834, wrapping their way around the pub whilst the majestic Stoke Minster looks on. The pub is rather dwarfed by all this grandeur but the effect is to magnify the pub’s quality and its stubbornness to survive.
It is a classic corner pub of its day built at the same time as the civic buildings during William IVs short reign pre Victoria. It has some marvellous features that include; unique leaded glazing by the studio of William Morris, period architrave and its original central rounded mahogany bar counter. The glasswork was all restored by Paul Georgiou a master craftsman based in Erdington. His work had to be very controlled due to the requirement to restore the William Morris glass.
At the very heart of the original Joule’s pub estate the Glebe is the flagship Joule’s Ale House for Stoke on Trent. The pubs hanging sign depicts the red cross that is the trade mark of Joule's brewery.
"A highlight of the pub is its quirky deli counter which offers a marvellous array of cheeses, cold meats and nibbles a perfect lunch time stop for pork pie, a pint and the paper.
There is a large front and back bar spacious but with comfortable seating, leather armchairs in front of the fire and to the rear of the pub a beautiful secret town beer garden with benches.
Always on Tap, Joule’s Pale Ale, Slumbering Monk, Pure Blonde and our english craft lager Green Monkey, alongside our rotating seasonal ale and cold craft beer. All brewed in Market Drayton with pure Shropshire mineral water.
Don’t miss, live music nights every Tuesday" Source: (
