A place to be avoided during the rush hour, which for Congleton is most of the day sadly. Apart from that it's ok.

Some good pubs. A place called Ruben Stubbs that is known for BBQ food. Most important has an Oatcake shop. Are you moving back uk or have you already done that and ive missed it? It does get busy because of handy link to Motorway. Very nice imo tho.

A friend went out in the Congleton for the first time about five years ago, ended up biffing an air hostess who insisted on keeping her knee length boots on in the sack. He recommends Congleton.

I live in Congleton and love it. Having lived previously in Burslem and then Kidsrgove, it's such a different place with lots going on. The nightlife is far better than anywhere in S-o-T and there are some nice little shops and café's. There are a number of great pubs and you are literally 10 minutes from lovely countryside. The train station is also very handy for Stoke games and only a 15, minute walk from Canal St.

They have a secret prohibition era cocktail bar called Cotton Club which is pretty good. Nice couple of craft beer / real ale pubs too. All in all a pretty good night out in fairness, second only to Nantwich in Cheshire East I'd say.

We have lived in Congleton since 1990. It is a shit hole. John Cooper Clarke wrote a poem about it:- The bloody cops are bloody keen To bloody keep it bloody clean The bloody chief's a bloody swine Who bloody draws a bloody line At bloody fun and bloody games The bloody kids he bloody blames Are nowehere to be bloody found Anywhere in Congleton town The bloody scene is bloody sad The bloody news is bloody bad The bloody weed is bloody turf The bloody speed is bloody surf The bloody folks are bloody daft Don't make me bloody laugh It bloody hurts to look around Everywhere in Congleton town The bloody train is bloody late You bloody wait you bloody wait You're bloody lost and bloody found Stuck in fucking Congleton town The bloody view is bloody vile For bloody miles and bloody miles The bloody babies bloody cry The bloody flowers bloody die The bloody food is bloody muck The bloody drains are bloody fucked The colour scheme is bloody brown Everywhere in Congleton town The bloody pubs are bloody dull The bloody clubs are bloody full Of bloody girls and bloody guys With bloody murder in their eyes A bloody bloke is bloody stabbed Waiting for a bloody cab You bloody stay at bloody home The bloody neighbors bloody moan Keep the bloody racket down This is bloody Congleton town The bloody pies are bloody old The bloody chips are bloody cold The bloody beer is bloody flat The bloody flats have bloody rats The bloody clocks are bloody wrong The bloody days are bloody long It bloody gets you bloody down Evidently Congleton town The bloody train is bloody late You bloody wait you bloody wait You're bloody lost and bloody found Stuck in fucking Congleton town Oh and by the way the local river does not have any beautiful wild trout in it or any amazing wild life on it's banks. That should keep the colonial riff raff out dear

Problem with congleton is the majority of folk that live there, very arrogant and think they’re a cut above, you will also find they’re very shallow and the majority are Man City or sh*t fans -says it all really Oh you will find it’s always a bit warmer due to the sh*t that comes out the mouths of those that live there

The posh end live in new build boxes with a tiny garage, and Audi A4 on the drive, debt up to their eyeballs (true £1 millionaires, and then the rough end "Tin Town" have 6 teeth between the 6000 inhabitants. I would go somewhere closer to Sandbach, or dare I say over the boarder in to Staffordshire.

I clocked the Canal Road sign last week at the junction with Moss Lane. I was heading onto Leek Road. Yes they keep painting over the c on the Canal Road sign. Like they keep changing Rood Hill to Rod Hull. However it is worse in Macclesfield I have a friend who lives at four Canal Street. Try saying it. Particularly in a Macc accent.

tourist information "What shame we ever lived in Congleton"
Well there's a little town called Congleton its average like the rest, But if you're looking for some charity shops it really is the best, We would go down to the river Dane, We'd swim all day... then go again, But if we did, we'd have caught diseases, Wayne takes 2 hours to cut your hair, That run down boat's still over there, Now his dog does as it pleases, (Chorus) What a shame we ever lived here, The buses can't get into 3rd gear, And all we have in town is some charity shops, A pound stretcher that sells Lucozade, Ohhh what a shame, So we got busy hangin' round the backstreets of Buglawton, A Dane-side theatre poster 30ft high up the back of B&M, I wrote a letter to the Chronicle, Deans toy shop sold me a broke bionicle, And about some milk I bought that was mouldy, There's a bag lady that lives outside, Morrisons or Tesco I can't decide, I think I will just go to Aldi, (Chorus) What a shame we ever lived here, The buses can't get into 3rd gear, And all we have in town is some charity shops, A pound stretcher that sells Lucozade, A couple of *** take aways, Ohhh what a shame, We've got a museum, that nobody goes, We'll be down the golf course, whenever it snows, Our public transport consists of only the Bear-town bus, We sold the bible to buy a bear, Couldn't get that deal in ToysRUs, We have a mountain that's called the cloud but its only 343m high, (Chorus) What a shame we ever lived here, The buses can't get into 3rd gear, And all we have in town is some charity shops, A pound stretcher that sells Lucozade, A couple of **** take aways, Some people spend a lifetime this way, Ohhh what a shame, Ooooo ooo oooo Such a shame, what a shame.

Did the same on Saturday and Sunday and it took 10/15 minutes due to the roadworks at Astbury and again the other side of town just before the Macclesfield junction. More worrying for Shangs though is on Saturday just after a heavy downpour the grids on the road coming down to Tescos were gushing with water

Will have watered the garden. I'm into the 3rd week of my fishing trip to Ireland. Traffic OK here in County Kerry.

I remember driving to a cottage on a farm there many years ago. We turned off the main road onto a country lane and were surprised that people were waving at us, at first thinking the car was similar to one of the locals then realising the natives were friendly. When we pulled onto the farm I swear the chickens and the sheepdog were smiling

Decent sit-down curry place called Purple Pakora. Bit of an untapped gem in my opinion. Even has some limited parking outside.
There's better nights out in the vicinity. Nantwich and Sandbach are both much better.
