Joule's pub with a small bar at the front and a slightly larger room with its own bar to the rear. Bar staff were all serving in the rear bar when we arrived and it was packed. We decided to stay in the front room and await service, which soon came.
The pub is nicely decorated, as most Joule's pubs are. The 3 regular cask ales are Pale Ale, Blonde & Slumbering Monk. In addition, they had Mosaic & Captain's Amber. Ciders were Lilley's Mango & Abrahall's Thundering Molly. Keg beers included Joule's Solita & Urban Haze.
I tried both the Mosaic and the Captain's Amber. I can't remember ever having a really nice Joule's beer and neither of the ones I tried here were the best. However, the pub itself is nice. With efficient service, despite a lot of customers, it's still worthy of a visit.

Disappointing range for a Joules Pub - without the Slumbering Monk best bitter. I went for an Aurora Golden, which quite frankly, was dreadful. Second pint had to be a Guinness.
Lots of bar hangers, talking loudly - presumably trying to get membership into the EDL. I had a similar experience in the Sir Robert Peel during my last Tamworth visit.
Not for me.

The Market Vaults is a Joules pub, with 5 of their ales on and one handle unclipped when I visited recently. These are all found in the front bar; the back bar is where you'll find the keg taps, both macro and a few craft, as well as 2 boxed ciders.
The floor is mostly tiled with low and high seating, with most occupied, even in mid-afternoon mid-week.
The beer's good and very reasonably priced and the buzz of conversation makes for the kind of pub you want to spend some time in.
