Let’s be honest—Stoke-on-Trent sunshine is about as reliable as a British train schedule. But when the clouds part and that glorious sun does make an appearance, there’s no better place to soak it up than at The Sneyd Arms Keele.
Whether you’re chasing rays in the beer garden or hiding from a surprise drizzle with a cocktail in hand, our summer drinks are always ready—rain or shine.
Top Summer Picks – Whatever the Weather
🍺 Birra Moretti
Italian sunshine in a glass. Crisp, refreshing, and best enjoyed with a bowl of chips outside (weather permitting).
🍻 Neck Oil
A hoppy, citrusy IPA from Beavertown that goes down smooth—even when the clouds roll in.
🍻 Cruzcampo
Light and smooth with a Spanish twist. Stoke might not be Seville, but this lager gets you halfway there.
🍻 Guinness
We know, we know—“Guinness in summer?” But trust us, this one’s timeless. Rainy days = Guinness days.
🍎 Inch's Cider
Sweet, appley, and served over ice—it’s practically made for a British summer day (umbrella optional).
🍇 Old Mout Cider
Fruity, fun, and full of flavour. Try Kiwi & Lime or Berries & Cherries for those tropical tastebuds.
Cocktails & Coolers That Bring the Sunshine
☕ Espresso Martini
A smooth kick of caffeine with a boozy twist. For those who need their energy topped up between sun and showers.
🍑 Japanese Slipper
Midori, Cointreau, and lemon juice. Bold, bright, and totally unique—like a sunny spell in Hanley.
🍍 Piña Colada
Coconut, pineapple, and good vibes in every sip. Even better if you hum the song while you drink it.
🌺 Passionfruit Martini
Tropical, tangy, and a firm favourite. Add a bit of theatre to your table (and your Insta story).
🍃 Mojito
Zesty lime, fresh mint, and fizzy soda make this one a proper crowd-pleaser.
🍷 Wines & Spirits
Rosé, white wine, gin and tonic—however you summer, we’ve got the bottle (or glass) to match.
🌤️ Best Times to Soak It Up (If the Weather Behaves)
Midday Light Bites (12–2PM): Grab a Moretti and a ciabatta in the garden. Stoke’s sunniest slot.
Golden Hour Pints (5–7PM): The beer garden glows—perfect for a mojito and a few laughs after work.
Sunday Session (1–4PM): Roast, cider, sunshine (hopefully)—what more do you need?
Pro tip: Keep an eye on the sky and one on your pint. Either way, you win.
