Prince of Wales - Congleton, Cheshire, UK. - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

The Joules Brewery pub the Prince of Wales (formerly Phoenix Tap) is located at 4 – 6 Lawton Street in Congleton.

"The Prince of Wales, our Congleton Tap sits on Lawton Street, no. 4-6. Nestled between some other great ale houses, Titanic our friendly rivals, and boutique Barley and Hops bottle shop, creating an ale drinkers haven. The town hosts a Market every Tuesday and Saturday from the Bridestone Centre.
Our Taphouse celebrates its history and honours the pub’s heritage by keeping no.4 the main bar an original miniature parlour pub and no.6 a curiosity shop. The Tap now has a fantastic extended beer courtyard, walled in old red brick and boarded by blooming plants, creating a relaxing hideaway from the town’s hustle and bustle to enjoy a pint. The pub is very dog friendly.
Easy street parking just outside.
Always on Tap, Joule’s Pale Ale, Slumbering Monk, Pure Blonde and our English craft lager Green Monkey, alongside our rotating seasonal ale and cold craft beer. All brewed in Market Drayton with pure Shropshire mineral water." Source: (visit link)


"The pub is divided into three areas creating snug corners warmed by a log burner. The decor is interesting with green tiled walls, enamel signs and lots of artefacts to adorn the rooms. Now owned by Joule's brewery, it sells four Joule's beers plus two well chosen guest beers and one cider. On a royal visit in 2018 Prince Charles enjoyed a Joule's Old No 6. There is a good outside drinking area behind the pub. Awarded branch pub of the year for 2018." Source: (visit link)


"The landlady of The Prince of Wales, which is a stone’s throw from the statue, couldn’t resist the opportunity to invite The Prince of Wales inside the namesake pub for a quick drink. Much to everyone’s delight the royal couple accepted and even commented that “it was a great name for a pub”. After a few minutes and Their Royal Highnesses were back outside and engaging with as many people as possible in the crowds lining the route to the Town Hall." Source: (visit link)
