Welcome to the Royal Oak Free House, a community pub located in Harriseahead, close to Mow Cop a popular local beauty spot.

Harriseahead is situated north of Stoke on Trent on the Cheshire border and is close to both Alsager and Congleton.

Circa 1858 it was originally an ale house known as the ‘Nags Head’ and was renamed in 1889 when it became a fully licensed public house.

Landlord Michael Clowes has owned and run the premises since 1984 and it has been a firm fixture in the Good Beer Guide for many years.

The Royal Oak is a true village pub that holds regular meetings for the local racing pigeon club, the cage bird society and child minders.

It has darts teams and holds regular quizzes in aid of charities.

The pub is also dog friendly as long as they are house trained and it has a real fire situated in the bar, perfect for those long cold Winter walks.

The pub is purely a real ale pub and therefore has no pool table, no fruit machines and no karaoke.

An annual mini beer festival is also held at the pub, watch this space for further details.

Mow Cop

The ruin at the top of Mow Cop was built deliberately as it lies today. Constructed in 1754 it was built as a summer house for the then landowner (Randle Wilbraham) to offer a romantic view of the area! The site also has traces of a prehistoric camp.
