Winner of Great British Pub of the Year 2025
We’re proud to be named Great British Pub of the Year 2025, a huge honour that celebrates the heart of what we do, great beer, great people, and a proper pub welcome. Crown Wharf was built for the community of Stone, and this award belongs to everyone who’s made it their local. Whether you’ve joined us for a pint by the canal, a Sunday roast, or a night at the theatre, you’ve helped make Crown Wharf something special.
Crown Wharf, our flagship Brewery Tap stands in the shadow of the original Joule’s Brewery on Crown Street, Stone.
Part of the Crown Wharf site sits on the original Breweries Dirties Yard and the canal-side location was owned by the Brewery back in the 70s but never developed. Ever since completing the fourth Joule’s Brewery in Market Drayton back in 2010 Joule’s has been looking for the perfect site to home their Stone Taphouse. None came close to what they were looking for so they decided to build their own, their very first new-build Tap.
