Removed my previous review as they clearly dont want to admit or rectify.
Needs a deep clean. Smells of stale ale. Not friendly - bar staff more interested in laughing with mates. Waited 50 mins for 2 'bar snacks'. 1 other party of 2 in at the same time so not busy. Food less than average. No checks on table, no interaction from any staff. Avoid.

A good canalside pub with three cask beers on hand pumps and a reasonable menu. Narrowboat themed interior.

Quiet on a sunday afternoon but seems a pleasant enough place for a few beers

A very disappointing Sunday dinner. We had friends visiting and we were moored quite close by so decided to try Sunday dinner instead of going to the Big Lock pub where we had been before.
Alarm bells rang when there was no menu, we were just told that it was Beef or Chicken. We all decided to go for Beef. It arrived and looked lovely so we were very hopeful. It soon went downhill. The beef was extremely rare, I like it rare but the majority was raw and lukewarm warm. The potatoes had been warmed up a bit and the rest of the veg was only just warm. One of our guests couldn?t eat the beef and asked for some that was cooked more, this arrived fifteen minutes later it looked like it had been fried. Definitely not off a good roast joint. No horseradish sauce either. I have the waitress feedback stating the beef was not cooked well and was cold along with the veg. I was told she would pass it onto the chef.
Hopefully it gets better as the pub is in a great position.

A very nice semi-rural canal side pub with a good selection of craft beers and real ales. There is plenty of room both inside and outside and the overall ambience is very pleasant.

My favourite pub. Great beer and atmosphere with the bonus of passing narrow boats. Dog friendly.

Really disappointing, this is 'our local', a mile from us but they don't open until afternoon. They should take advantage of the narrowboats and open for breakfast and lunch - nothing mega, simple English breakfast, sandwiches, jacket pots is enough. They do seem popular at weekends and have themed events on, though unless you live on their doorstep you wouldn't know until you 'here' them. We tend to go that little bit further and enjoy the Little and Big Lock as they are always open.
