What’s that, another foodie establishment opening in the Cultural Quarter of Hanley? Why, tie a napkin round my neck, hand me a fork and send me on my way. It’s no lie that I’m a champion of independent eateries in and around Stoke-on-Trent. They’re what the city...
The Exchange (formerly Fat Cats) has a nostalgic nod to it’s buildings former life as the hub of communication in the city. Housed in the beautiful Telephone Exchange building on Trinity Street, it's possibly one of my favourite buildings in the city due to the...
