About Crown Wharf
Crown Wharf is our flagship Taphouse, standing proudly in the shadow of the original Joule’s Brewery in Stone. This unique venue embodies the best of what Joule’s stands for—community, creativity, and quality. Food is an essential part of the Crown Wharf experience, offering a carefully selected menu that showcases hearty pub classics alongside seasonal dishes. The menu is designed to complement our exceptional range of Joule’s beers, ensuring a complete and satisfying dining experience for every guest.
The pub is a hub for the local community and beyond, hosting popular live music nights, quiz evenings, and a variety of events that bring people together. Crown Wharf also features a versatile 80-seater boardroom that caters to private bookings, meetings, and parties, offering the perfect blend of charm and functionality.
Built on the historic site of the original brewery’s Dirties Yard, this canal-side location reflects both our legacy and forward-thinking vision. Opened in 2021, the Crown Wharf is also home to a purpose-built theatre space developed in partnership with the Crown Wharf Theatre Trust. This addition has brought a new dimension to the venue, offering pre-show, interval, and post-show hospitality to theatre goers.
