Time for tea.

I hope the teapot doesn't leak.

The Packing House Cafe at Middleport Pottery, home of Burleighware, sitting between Port Street and the Trent and Mersey canal in Middleport, Stoke-on-Trent.

The design that can be seen on the walls depicts a design dating back to 1913 and still made today named Blue Regal Peacock, apparently a favourite of British royalty.

The old potbank, belonging to Burgess and Leigh, which this formed a part of, dates back to 1888-89 and is grade II* listed.

My wife rates their Lobby (a traditional Staffordshire stew) , so the food must be good and it's nice to see the use of Burleighware throughout, what else could they use?
