Crown Wharf in Stafford

Great venue, excellent theatre. Always find the pub part echoey as there's not much to absorb sound.

Lovely clean place ,great food friendly place

First time iv been here and I loved it ..will definitely be back..

Lovely service. Great meal again! Great food! Recommended to all my friends

Went for a family party, Private room upstairs, food was good, drink not badly priced and friendly staff... What more could you want??

Love it love it love it Still the best pub in Staffordshire

Great place location is loverly .clean bright plenty room , had roast beef sunday lunch 2 off got to say best ive had for years proper roast beef not this constituted crap loads on plate fresh and hot not a carvery just order at bar cant fault any one or anything great place will return well done

Lovely location, with a view over the water and dog friendly seating outdoors. Nice interior with a great range of beers and excellent food at a reasonable price.

Lovely pub which has lots of space ! Nice pub food and good atmosphere

This is our second visit and we were very pleased again. Although wry busy we were seated by the friend and helpful staff. There are booths with different themes today we sat in the Elvis booth the decor is very interesting and a big open bar. The menu choice is vast. Gluten free option are available asked about allergens on ordering and if you aren’t sure they will go and ask the chef, you get separate cutlery and your food is served separately as well. The steak pie had plenty of meat in could have done with some more veg but was very nice. The gammon was cooked perfectly and was very nice. Will visit again

Great value and decent choices. Service was great and always a decent choice of drinks. Advise booking on busier days..although that seems most days!

Lovely place to eat and good food!

Brilliant Sunday Lunch!! Best Sunday Lunch I have had in a long time. Roast Beef and Roast pork were just Exellent. Beef dripping roast potatoes and lovelly hedge. Just a nice place to eat after a canal walk. Accompnied by a refreshing Aspels Cider. Thet do small plates as well so suits the person with a smaller appetite. Will definitely call again

2nd time of going and wasnt disappointed just as good as the first time. (4 in party) Had 3 courses all very delicious and well presented. We will be returning for more lovely meals.

Have driven past many times and decided to visit midweek. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was very polite and friendly and showed us around. I had Scampi baguette and my wife the Beef baguette. With the 2 drinks it came to under £20. Excellent value and great food. Booked for the following Sunday Lunch and again the food and service was great. So good we are going back in 2 weeks time. Lovely place, Good food and atmosphere and the staff very helpful. Personally I have not been anywhere as nice as this.

A really nice place! We'll definitely visit again...

Decent pub, great space to relax Only had drinks, didn’t have food but it looked very nice. Would definitely go again

Lovely, peaceful and excellent beers

Yet another fantastic meal at the Wharf. One of the best Sunday dinners that we have had. Plenty on the plate, hot and nothing to fault.👌

Fantastic place for good food and drink. We had Sunday lunch...the small portion was quite large and more than enough! The gravy is delicious and plenty of it. Everything was hot and really tasty. We had a quirky booth opposite the bar. Fantastic! Had a really lovely family lunch. 2nd time we have been and will absolutely go back. I have a mustard allergy do couldn't have the beef...Jack made sure I was fully aware of allergens and had printed information available. I had the roast pork......delicious. We were served quickly and by very friendly staff Jack and Jonathan. Definitely recommend and most definitely be back soon. Thank you

Staff and atmosphere were good. The clunky chicken burger was awful. A wafer thin piece of chicken in breadcrumbs so hard I couldn’t even cut it with a knife. Even the waitress looked embarrassed when she brought it over. How that was allowed to leave the kitchen is beyond me.

Lovely pub setting, food inadequate. Went today for Mothers Day, what a disappointment! Over cooked meat, rock hard potatoes and when told staff just received "oh dear, sorry about that" even though the vast majority of the meal went back. We were pleased with the starters, but the disappointment of the main and the lack of sincerity of the staff. I would not reccomend, the meal was not worth £67 for three of us. Bitterly disappointed on Mother's Day

Brilliant food and beer. The staff are great.

Stone's gem in it's crown! Great drinks, food and excellent staff, plus a fantastic location by the canal.

Love this place, will be returning in summer.

Really good food really good drinks highly recommended

Great place, dog friendly, probably the nicest pub in Stone.

Very nice , brilliant for taking dogs in Only had coffee and cake very nice

The service on our visit which was a quiet lunchtime was abysmal. My food, a duck dish wasn’t very good and was poor value. It’s unlikely I’ll be going back.

We chose a few items of food to pick at while drinking glasses of Chardonnay. We ordered at the bar and the food service was quite fast. We chose Buttercross pulled pork, stuffing and apple sauce ciabatta served with salad garnish, Rosemary sea salted fries, Scampi bites with homemade tartre sauce, and Breaded brie bites with fig chutney. It was all delicious and piping hot, served all together on a couple of plates ready for us to share. We visited on a Monday lunchtime. Both car parks were very full with just 2 spaces vacant. Inside, the booth seating was al pretty busy but there was lots of space at both the tall and low tables. The music was at a good level so you could still comfortably hold a conversation. There is seating outside also.

Just a chance visit, really enjoyed the place, polite staff good food and service had a great visit would recommend

freezing cold . poor service . nice food but a shame it wasnt hot.

Scampi and roast beef baguette were excellent and definitely value for money! Not been before but will certainly visit again. Beautiful views of the canal too.

Was given a table at the back was so cold we kept our coats and scarf on. At one point my friend went to the toilet just to warm up under the hand dryer. Food was luke warm and service was really slow. However the serves were mainly young kids who seem to have no customer service skills. Cheesecake portion was small but tasty. Overall disappointing wont be going again .

Restaurant was freezing ,kept out coats and scarves on , service was poor . All young kids who didn't smile or make eye contact . Waited ages for drinks and ability to order our meal . Food came and wasn't hot ,barely warm ,sat shivering . Ages waiting for service to order drinks and dessert . Wish we hadn't bothered,portions were tiny and the cheesecake was actually tasteless and there was ice in the ice cream ( literally could taste pieces of ice ) the final straw was when the young male server came over and mumbles something at me and as I hadn't heard what he said ,he said without even making eye contact ,you need to pay your bill as table service finished at 7pm . Clearly the staff haven't been trained in hospitality and customer service ,no smiles ,eye contact . Everyone just seemed miserable . We had four different people attend our table at different times and not one smiled or made eye contact . Cold food ,cold restaurant and poor service .no ambience . Won't bother again .

It was our first time at the crown wharf & we're very impressed by the standard of the waitresses and meals

Great pub. Quirky, rustic surroundings. Lovely views out to the canal... Today's Soup of the day was Curried Parsnip soup. It was delicious! A big bonus for me was that it was piping hot, yummy...

Large, national award winning, new build Joules pub adjacent to the Trent & Mersey canal. Plenty of historical features including a replica of the Burton 'Coopers Tavern' on the site.

Great atmosphere, very different venue. Love the way it's been decorated. Had a good meal, good service and very reasonable price. Staff friendly n welcoming..

Perfect for coffee treat in a friendly atmosphere

We frequently visit the Crown Wharf for a meal or coffee & cake. Always a friendly atmosphere and the staff are helpful and polite. A great place to sit and relax with plenty of seating. Dog friendly and designed with an abundance of character.

Very busy, but staff were very friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly which is a bonus. Would recommend a visit.

Loveley place good food and pleasure to be a customer

Good little theater and lively bar

A great refurbished place, with some good shout outs to the history. Not a local pub vibe, but good for visitors, and a great outdoors in summer.

Good experience enjoyed the food

Fantastic food and prices , great atmosphere. Would 100% come here again .

Met friends good service lovely food Prices reasonable

A great all round place to eat drink chat with a great vibe and lovely staff. Love the location and the entertainment

Just a casual early afternoon get together for beers and storys. Nice and friendly staff in a quiet corner 🎅🎅

Waited 1/2 hour to get drinks after asking waitress if we could order food and what happened to the drinks we ordered 1/2 hour ago

Great all rounder gets mega busy but priced not bad at all

Lovely food and a nice busy atmosphere

Very good nice interior with a warm social feel. good parking and nice polite bar staff. clean and welcoming unlike whitherspoons which has really gone downbank. i will be coming here again for a full meal asap.

Lad behind the bar didn't want to speak Booked a table of eight for food (Christmas works party) Arrived on time at 5:30pm,Monday Waiter at the bar was a seriously disinterested guy who uses a cocky head flick to engage in conversation, refused to take my card or keys and start a tab so we had to make about eight payments at the bar throughout the night because they 'don't trust anyone with a tab on a weeknight, due to less staff' Less staff... he wasn't joking. After we sat down he came over with menu's and said 'come to the bar when you want to order' Yes, nobody waiting on in the restaurant what so ever! I was really disappointed that nobody advised on the booking that it would be a pay at the bar service on a weeknight, not sure if that's a new thing as I've been here a lot and never had to do this, shame it was our yearly Christmas party so I wanted it to be enjoyable Anyway, on a positive note the food quality is good value for money which thankfully made up for it a little. The two ladies who brought the food/collected glasses were polite and so was the lad who wears glasses and works behind the bar also. Unfortunately his companion needs to understand that working behind the bar means speaking, not grunting or head signals

Brought my son and daughter in law for a great Sunday lunch experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will come again

Great food and drink, recommended.

Good all year round. Only had beer but food looks good.

Good pub grub,and joules beer on tap what more could you ask for.

Lovely place when you walk in. Great decor. Almost a cosy American feel to it. Hubby ordered the Fish & chips and I had the steak & ale pie with mash. Food was lovely. Will definitely return.

Sunday very busy all tables full, sat out side on deck would have been nice with heater Food good

Lovely atmosphere and good food. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

A chuffing great pub with fan able & atmosphere. Thank you.

Nice pint of Green Monkey.. chilled atmosphere... now our local...

Saturday night not good clean off the place very badly the toilet in men's not good sick all the place

Only a quick visit but I thought it was beautiful inside, the beer was good and locally made, the barman was friendly and helpful and I will definitely be making a return visit

Came last night for a meal and visit the theatre. Fantastic food & drink, staff so friendly and helpful especially Eddie who went above and beyond and is a real asset to the team. Can’t wait to return.

Fantastic Food, venue and atmosphere!! Best waiter ever award to … Eddie he was so welcoming and made the evening extra special !

Excellent comedy club upstairs, once every other month

Very nice place and the staff were wonderful

Overall great experience, love the slumbering monk beef and gravy.

Great place to eat. Great service and very dog friendly. Thank you Eddy for you're help and advice re desserts.

Met a friend for food. Service was really quick and the food was lovely. Will definitely go back there.

Excellent Sunday Roast today . Staff always great . Excellent Chef and excellent meals weekdays as well. Visit for food at least twice aweek. Thank you see you again soon

Slightly disappointed with the food and it was very noisy in there. Staff were friendly and polite, nice spot on the canal

Beautiful pub great food and atmosphere really nice service very friendly staff full of smiles great visit 😀

The Crown Wharf is situated on Stone’s Ring road adjacent to Stone’s new theatre on The Trent & Mersey Canal & has an ample car park. Dedicated to Joules ales and right next to the Old Joules brewery ( now closed down & relocated to Market Drayton)it has a decking & seating outside overlooking the canal which is always busy & interesting. Inside is vast & very atmospheric with a large lively bar area & plenty of seating in both booths and bar area. There is a good food choice of typical pub meals which are served hot although there was a 40 minute wait on our last lunch time visit indicating that it’s very popular. A great addition to our Stone town

Such a beautiful place full of character right on the canal. Lovely atmosphere and fab service. Live music at the weekends too!

Had a coffee and cake here after a walk on the canal towpath; very nice 😊

Fantastic food ambience and service Mira was amazing a real credit to the industry and pub Thankyou

Beautiful food, always fresh and tasty.

Fantastic meal, great service and very friendly staff! Was busy but food arrived promptly and was delicious. Great manager too!!

Fantastic pub ! If a brewery is going to make a flagship pub this is how it should be done

Fantastic meal, very good service and friendly staff!

Our party of 4 were interrupted by a fire alarm. Staff managed the evacuation professionally. My daughters and grandchildren arrived which increased our party to 6, then 9, and 2 dogs. We were made welcome by staff and other customers who offered to move tables to accommodate us. We thoroughly enjoyed our family catch-up. The food ordered arrived together, and George took fab pictures to remind us of our special time together.

Great, great place... Apparently only two years old but you wouldn't know walking into it. Been built to create a lovely space for wining and dining, and in keeping with the surroundings. Would highly recommend a visit!

What a great piece of local history. The thought and creativity it must of took to get it built is a beautiful thing for everybody to enjoy. I really ❤️ Staffordshire and everything in it. By Joules's that's a good 1. Or 10. 4.5 🌟

We visit the Crown Wharf quite frequently for Sunday lunch and have never been disappointed. The food is always wonderful and the service is fabulous, the staff really can’t do enough for you. We went recently with some friends who came to visit from Cambridge and we all had one of the small Sunday roasts, the food was as ever, absolutely fabulous and our friends couldn’t believe the value for money. You will have to go a very long way to find a Sunday Roast as good as at the Crown Wharf and for £9, amazing value. That’s why we go so often.

Great place ,food staff excellent

Just been for a loverly lunch sunday roast was perfect all cooked perfectly nothing over done and the service was spot on too

Place smells of bleach, pie was hard, no kids menu, bad experience. The beer was flat and the glasses had an odd yucky smell to them like they haven't been washed.

This place is hit and miss. It's freezing in the booth dinning area at the burner end draft whistles through. Food not hot ,but on warmed plates. It's OK , but not amazing

An interesting and quirky find on the canal side Enjoyable food which we enjoyed sitting in one of the booths An interesting selection of Joules Ales including the refreshing slumbering monk The selection of a paddle of 3 ales was good value A visit upstairs to the quirky boardroom setting was interesting

Seating in the bar, not very good but looks the part..

Nice venue,great plenty of space parking ,and easy to find. Well priced ,food is very good and tasty,at a decent price,service is also polite and quick. Situated next to a canal,so is great to sit outside on warm days. More than worth a visit.

Was lunch so atmosphere is what it is. Still a good cheap pint and food.

Spoilt by the extremely noisy background making it almost impossible to hold a conversation. Yes it it was late Saturday afternoon. Yes it would be different in a quiet time. Service ok placing order at bar. Very impressive place and decor. Probably the largest restaurant in Stone. Not impressed with my meal but others seemed happy.

When I visited I was somewhat surprised to be served a small pie, with a mini skillet of green veg, and some gravy, on a bread board. Plates are an amazing invention, they stop the more liquid elements of a meal from running all over the table and all over you. Also, in any iteration of a pastry topped stew I've ever eaten before, pie comes with chips, or was I supposed to pay extra for those? Maybe if I had they would have arrived in one of those trendy mini fryers baskets? Staff and service were great, food was just weird!

Absolutely fabulous will be going back there 👍🏾🙂

Fab Sunday lunch, great staff, 10/10 thanks
