Our story

Local wellington residents queued outside Joule's Brewery's latest project awaiting the opening of its flagship pub for Telford. The Cock Hotel Wellington, following a refurbishment that took over two years, investing over £1m in the project is the largest pub refurbishment that the Shropshire brewery has undertaken.

The Brewery wanted to be in Wellington, MD Steve Nuttall explains why.

"We really like the town, Wellington is a historic center and we love old pubs with interesting stories and deep roots in the community. For us Wellington has a real sense of place, it’s quite traditional with its own identity it felt like the right place for our Telford flagship. Of all the pubs we most wanted was the Cock Hotel, it was a part of the old Joule's estate which pulled on our heartstrings, and of course, is an iconic alehouse."

The original bars have all been restored by master craftsman Eddie Chapman Smith. Forman Chris Blase ‘It has been a huge overall team effort, along with all the Joules projects, we work as a team, the trades all input into the design, so we deliver the detail that characterises Joule's pubs, we are all really chuffed with this one.

Joule's intends to submit the project to the national pub design awards in 2023.
