Stone — Staffordshire's Canal Town with a Genuine Foodie Reputation
Stone sits directly on the Trent and Mersey Canal, and its brewing history goes back further than most — records show ale being brewed by the canons of Stone Priory as far back as the 12th century. Joule's Brewery, founded in the town in 1785, became Stone's most famous name in beer; although brewing itself later moved to Market Drayton, Joule's still maintains its flagship pub, Crown Wharf, canal-side on the original Stone site, next to the Crown Wharf Theatre.
That heritage feeds into Stone's genuine reputation as something of a foodie town today — the annual Stone Food & Drink Festival celebrated its 21st year in 2026. Alongside that, Stone Marina brings regular boating traffic to the town, and the everyday mix of town centre and residential callouts that Ben covers across Staffordshire.

Full details & FAQs →Key Fob Repairs in Stone
Remote locking stopped working but the key still starts the car? Often a flat battery or lost pairing rather than a full key fault. Ben diagnoses the actual issue first, which usually means a cheaper fix than a full replacement fob.
Full details & FAQs →Broken Key Extraction in Stone
A snapped key in a door lock or ignition barrel is extracted using specialist tools, without drilling out the lock where avoidable — a common fault on higher-mileage commuter vehicles around Stone.
Full details & FAQs →Ignition Repair & Replacement in Stone
Stiff, seized or completely dead ignition — Ben diagnoses whether it is mechanical wear or an electrical fault before recommending a repair or replacement, keeping your existing key wherever the barrel allows it.

Canal-side in the town centre, Crown Wharf — Joule's Brewery's flagship pub, built on the site of the original 1785 brewery — sits alongside the Crown Wharf Theatre, a genuine local arts and community venue.
Stone's reputation as a genuine foodie town is reinforced every May by the Stone Food & Drink Festival, a well-established event now in its third decade.
