The J. P. Joule in Sale

Ah, The J. P. Joule – it's one of those reliable Wetherspoons spots in Sale that always hits the mark for a laid-back evening with friends. I really appreciate how spacious it is, with two floors to choose from, and they've nailed the beer selection with some top-notch real ales that are always well-kept. The app makes ordering drinks a doddle, and when the staff are on form, like that helpful server who sorted out a dodgy meal, it feels like they're genuinely looking out for you. It's clean too, and the prices are spot-on for keeping things affordable. On the flip side, though, the food can be a letdown – I've heard tales of it arriving cold, and the toilets aren't always up to snuff, which is a shame. It gets pretty noisy when it's packed, so if you're after a quiet pint, you might want to pick your time wisely. All in all, it's a solid choice for a fun night out, but it's worth going in with your eyes open to those little rough edges – still, I'd pop back for the beers alone!
