Used to be called The Dolphin. Never went in then, and have only been there once in its present form.
Perhaps a little fair to judge a place on one visit, especially when that visit was Christmas day, and I was eating lunch there.
The food on that occasion wasn't great at all, and I was a little disappointed. Having said that, it might normally be ok.
The staff were ok though.

only been in there once, when I'd had a few.
I like it because it doesn't pretend to be anything... better atmosphere than a lot of places in Sale.

one of the nicer places in Sale; still fairly mundane though. Not a lot of character.

Good place to watch football, but other than that, it's a rough place.
Watch your back...

I've always found the bar staff to be unfriendly and moody.
Good position by a litter-strewn canal doesn't ditract from the fact that it's quite a dull pub.

Got to say I agree with the other comments that this place used to be the best place in Sale. I used to go there a lot, and enjoyed not only the food (which was fantastic) but the music and atmosphere.
Things have changed considerably, and I haven't been there for a couple of years. I think things changed since the extension. The mood of the place changed and I guess it's been spoilt.
Thanks for the memories though!

The J P Joule, Sale
I used to live near this place when it was a Wetherspoons, and back then, cheap drinks were one of my main priorities.
I put up with its bad points, because it's got to be one of the cheapest (if not the cheapest) place in Sale.
I hadn't been in there for a while, but have started going in again recently. Drinks still very cheap, but I don't expect, or get, anything else from the place.
I haven't personally witnessed any trouble, but it's the kind of place that attracts it. I'm usually out and somewhere else by the time people are getting rowdy.
