Popular Wetherspoon's pub a short distance from Sale town centre.

It has two floors connected by a prominent staircase that you notice upon entering the building, enhanced in late 2025 with the addition of a large sky lights above.

Two bars host a total of fourteen hand pumps. The downstairs bar has two banks of pumps, the bank to the left hosting the usual Wetherspoon regular ales with the more central bank hosting up to six guests. The upstairs bar has four pumps which usually duplicate the beers from downstairs.

Guest beers come from a wide range of breweries, mostly from northern England including Rudgate, Thornbridge, Buxton, Kirkstall, Ashover, Peerless, Brightside, Yorkshire Heart and others.

There is a small terrace to the front of the pub for summer drinking and smokers.

The pub is named after the physicist James Prescott Joule, famous for his experiments in heat. Joule lived and worked in Sale for the last 17 years of his life
