This a fabulous Joules pub - very friendly staff and excellent beer. The beer is brewed locally and we are drinking the seasonal beer - Hawaii Five Jo - superb

Driven through Congleton many times without stopping. Boothroyd Bear decided it was time to rectify this; especially as this is also known as Beartown. First pint in this Joules pub. A brewery chain of exceptional pubs and superb beers. Lovely pint of 3.8% Pure Blonde, one of four real ales on handpump. Lovely interior but as the sun was out we sat in the rear beer garden. Great start to a day out.

Visited for first time as a result of an invitation to the open mic night. Lovely pub - really friendly behind the bar, and had a really very nice pint indeed. Music pretty good, (with the possible exception of the bits I was playing). I’ll come back and likely try the food.
