The Hem Heath has reopened after its latest transformation.
Following the trial of HighTales, the pub on Stanley Matthews Way has been fully rebranded as a Flaming Grill and has retained its previous name.
There is an improved bar layout, providing additional space for guests seeking to enjoy a drink with friends and family and the interior has been upgraded with new furniture and décor.

The pub also features a new pool table, interactive darts board and upgraded TV screens with live fixtures throughout the week on Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
Eliot Bennett has returned as the general manager of the Hem Heath, and said: "We are over the moon to be showcasing the new and improved Hem Heath this October.
"The Hem Heath is a central hub for the local community in Stoke-on-Trent, and we are delighted to be introducing a delicious new Flaming Grill menu alongside a fantastic range of entertainment for guests of all ages to enjoy.

"The pub has been given a new lease of life with an elevated interior and an improved sports viewing offering, and we hope to become the ultimate destination for friends, families and neighbours to come together and relax, no matter the occasion.

"There are plenty of opportunities for families to come and enjoy the pub and live sport but we also have an adults-only area in the sports bar.
"We will have the return of the weekly quiz Sunday too. It's been nice to have such a warm welcome back and we are looking forward to bringing the pub back into the community.
"As well we previously used to have artwork of the Hem Heath colliery and we have now put hints to that throughout the pub, including on the sign outside."

The drinks menu includes cask ales on draft, lagers, soft drinks and wines.
The Hem Heath on Stanley Matthews Way is open seven days a week.
