Thank you to everyone who came to find us this week as we reopened after our break away.

It’s great to see new faces and welcome you into our space here at Sutherland Works.
And the visits from you from people who have dined with us in the past. It’s great to have this opportunity to build our community here. A really fabulous spot tucked away in a quiet corner of Longton.

As we look out of our door we can even see Duchess China where many of our dishes were made.
Heritage, hospitality and homespun…

A few new dishes available on our menu for Autumn and an extra Hidden dish (shhhh)
Below is our new plant based dish.

We will see you on Wednesday from 9

Remember…
Our menu is brunch focused but available from 9
We are often quiet till 10.30 so there are plenty of tables free for you earlier in our service.

Enjoy your weekend 🙏🏻

Our luxurious Gladstone collection has been created celebrating the crafts heritage of Stoke on Trent. Each piece is hand made at our factory in the same way it was 135 years ago, showing our commitment to craftmanship. It is skillfully decorated in a timeless rich floral design for a bold contrast against our silky white fine bone china.

We would like to thank everyone that has bought a Capel Salem mug/s in support of and for their windows in their Welsh chapel.

The amount of orders has been phenomenal and we couldn't make the mugs fast enough to keep up with demand. 🥵

Apologies for the long wait for orders, as seen on Our Welsh Chapel Dream, each mug passes at least 20 sets of hands in the production process. We appreciate every single order in support of our heritage factory 🙏🏻
