Families that eat together, stay together
As we all rush about our busy daily lives, how many of us can honestly say that we sit down at the table to eat together as a family every day? This is something that, in days gone by, was just how things were done. I remember, as a child, eating together every evening. Sometimes Dad was a bit late home from work and we’d start without him, but he would always join us when he got in and we would discuss the day’s events as a family. The thought […]
The beating ‘art’ of the city
When you visit a museum or an exhibition, have you ever thought about the impact that the arts can have on a city? The butterfly effect that is created each time someone experiences a bit of culture? There are, in fact, myriad ways in which arts and culture influence the growth and continued progression of a city and I think they can be segregated into three main areas. Economy The first of these is, of course, the economy. The arts bring prosperity to a city, not only via the customers […]
Putting the ‘social’ into ‘social media’
As many of you will have noticed, the local high street of today, in any town or city up and down the country, has far less to offer than in years gone by. There is a trend for empty premises to be filled with charity shops or just boarded up completely, making the high street much less appealing to shoppers and providing them with little reason to go there. Obviously, this has a massive impact on the small businesses who have chosen to set up in the vicinity. As the […]
Put your money where your heart is
As our brilliant QUARTER customers, many of you will already be aware of the benefits of shopping and dining locally but just in case you need a little more convincing, or there is someone you need to persuade, here are just a few of the reasons why more people should make the change… Shopping or dining in your own town centre can have a massive impact on the local economy. Research has shown that just £10 spent locally can mean up to £50 more for the local economy! How? Well, […]
A transatlantic encounter
As you may or may not be aware, after Christmas we took our little Quartets on a trip across the pond to California. We had so much fun and crammed so much into the week that we came back far more exhausted than when we left! Whilst in LA, we met up with one of our customers believe it or not – it really is a small world! David Craddock, originally from Stoke-on-Trent and a former pupil of Hanley High School, leads a vegan lifestyle and is an independent consultant […]
Step into Christmas!
Well, we finally made it to December and Christmas is just around the corner! The festive season is now well and truly in full swing here at the QUARTER and we are so excited about all the things we have planned for the next few weeks. So much has happened, and is happening, that it’s hard to know where to begin! I’ll try and pick up where I last left off… Last month saw successful Medi-Painting and Zen Club evenings, which are to become a monthly event from January. January’s […]
Fun and frolics in…Hanley?
‘Fun? In Hanley?’ I hear you ask. Of course! Why not? Statistics show that many of the inhabitants of Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas do not take advantage of, or even realise, what Hanley has to offer right on their doorstep, and choose instead to jump in the car or on the train to venture further afield for their entertainment. In fact, there really is no need. Hanley has much to offer for all ages and group dynamics. To prove it, I am going to walk you through a step […]
The To-do about Tapas
“I keep seeing these ads on Facebook about the Tapas Night at the QUARTER, but what actually is it? I’m not really sure what it means.” You probably won’t be the only one reacting in this way to our messages about tapas. So, whilst attempting to not patronise those of you who are familiar with this style of dining, let me explain… ‘Tapa’ is Spanish in origin and simply means ‘a small portion’ of any kind of food, with ‘tapas’ being more than one. It originates from pre-19th Century Spain […]
Ex’seeding’ expectations
Veganism…not a new concept as such but certainly much more widespread and accepted than previously. According to The Vegan Society, the number of vegans in the UK last year was around 600,000, four times the number in 2014 (150,000) and more than double the number in 2016 (276,000), showing an exponential growth, and the numbers are continuing to rise. It is looking likely that a quarter of the British population could be vegan by 2025! Following a vegan diet has some amazing advantages, promoting weight loss and a lower BMI, […]
It’s all going on…
Wow, another busy week here at the QUARTER, it’s hard to keep up! To be or not to be… We held our Tarot Night with Hazel and the team from Rainbow Therapy and Healing. These evenings are always very popular, so why not get yourselves booked in for the next one? As part of your time with us, a reader will spend 20 minutes with each table, so get some friends together and enjoy good food and drinks and immerse yourselves in the tarot experience. The next evening will be […]
It’s all about the cake, ’bout the cake and coffee…….
Coffee, cake, conversation, culture…what more could you possibly want, or even need, in the heart of Hanley? And where can I find all these things at the same time, I hear you ask. Here at the QUARTER of course! By night, we may transform into the place to be to celebrate, relax, or to just have a good night out, but by day, we are a busy little coffee shop offering a huge range of speciality teas, coffees, cakes…whatever your heart’s desire, we can deliver. Our coffees and teas are […]

Hello there! Welcome to our brand spanking, sparkly new blog, a weekly(ish!) round-up of all the goings on here at the QUARTER, and my goodness is there a lot going on! We hope to give you a more in-depth glimpse into life behind the scenes of one of the busiest little boltholes in town.
