The Borehole

02/06/2026

Good afternoon folks, so for anyone who frequents our pub early on a Tuesday afternoon will have met our volunteer Dan, Dan gives his free time every Tuesday to help us get the pub ready to open.

Dan will be taking part in the Race for Life at Trentham this evening in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Our family, along with many of yours and countless others across the UK have had their lives changed forever by cancer, therefore we are proud to support Dan in today's race.

We ask for anyone within our community who wishes to join us in raising funds for Cancer Research UK to do so via the QR code in the poster, or by visiting the URL displayed at the bottom of the page.

Thank you all and have a fantastic week!
♥️💜🩵💛

Good morning folks!

We are welcoming our friends from Stafford Morris Dancers back on Monday the 18th from 7:30pm.

It's always a good time, and for those itching to get involved after a beer or two, I'm sure the opportunity will arise 😉.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻, the sun will be shining 🌞 and we can all sit outside and enjoy the show!

Cheers everyone, have yourselves a cracking weekend! 🍻

Show season is starting and we’ll be dancing at The Borehole in Stone on Monday 18th May. We’ll be there from
7.30pm, generally having a great time and supping some fine Lymestone Brewery
Ale.

Come along and say Hi. You never know, you may be inspired to give Morris dancing a go! Stranger things have happened….

Good morning everyone, we hope you are all starting the new year off feeling fresh!

This is a quick post to remind our customers that we will be calling last orders a bit earlier this evening at 7pm.

Also - as many of you will know we typically close the pub for a few days once all the festivities are done and dusted, leaving you to start your 'dry January' 😶‍🌫️

Just to confirm dates for the closedown, as well as when we reopen:

Monday 5th Jan - CLOSED
Tuesday 6th Jan - CLOSED
Wednesday 7th Jan - CLOSED

Thursday 8th Jan - REOPENING @ 4PM (ALSO OUR FIRST QUIZ OF 2026 🥸)

Thank you all again from the bottom of our glasses for all your support throughout last year. Let's make 2026 one to remember! 🍻
