The Pickled Pig, located at The Bank House, is hosting a party, to mark one year since it opened.

After launching last April, the bar has quickly become a favourite among Stafford residents.

Known for its artisan pizzas, live music and welcoming atmosphere, the pub regularly holds events for local people to enjoy such as poetry nights, a book club, quizzes and crafts. 

Speaking about why they chose to bring The Pickled Pig to Stafford, a spokesperson said: "We created the pig with the vision of keeping communities talking and traditions alive, after feeling that the town was missing a good quality establishment for couples to share good wine and good beer, whilst supporting local artists and businesses ."

This Saturday (4 April), from 12pm, everyone in Stafford is invited to celebrate the bar's first birthday, with the first 100 customers receiving a "special edition" pig badge. 

Customers can tuck into pig-themed cakes, while listening to lively music from folk band The Deacons at 3pm followed by Jason Keady, who performed at The Pickled Pig's opening night.

When asked their favourite thing about Stafford, the team said: "the history and passionate people that want to see this town thrive again."
