Boaters beware! This may look like a boaters pub from the outside, even their decor is trying to appeal to the weary narrowboater, but make no mistake; this is not a boaters pub!
£3 an hour to charge your phone! £6.99 for a scotch egg!! The music is too loud to have a conversation without shouting, the staff are standoffish and spray strong smelling cleaning sprays whilst you're eating/drinking, and the atmosphere is all round a bit weird...
Loos were clean although water everywhere and no one has put the rolls of paper in the holders. They keep their ales O.K. I won't be making the mistake to come here twice.

Good beer, attentive service but just better than average food. I?ll explain. The previous night we ate at an expensive pub a few miles down the canal. I felt it under-delivered the pub vibe and over-delivered slightly poncy food at what we felt were expensive prices. At the Wharf Tavern we got decent food in a nice pub atmosphere at prices nearly as expensive as the place from the previous night. Did we get better value from the poncy place or the Wharf? Hard to tell. Would we go back to the Wharf? Probably, yes. Would we go back to the poncy place? For a treat, maybe. There?s the difference. Without meaning it as an insult, The Wharf is a Common or Garden variety British pub with honest beer and food even if just a little expensive than we hoped. So on balance it was perfectly fine and we had a decent meal.

Food (,steak sandwhich) was hest I've ever had, beer very good and the staff smiling and helpful. With sky tv for the sports and a kids bouncy castle I hope the locals realise what they've got !!

Went on a Saturday evening, weather was very warm so was quite surprised how quiet the pub was. 6 punters outside and about 14 inside. Found it very clean and plenty of choices for drink, will definitely go again.

Good menu and interesting choices not just standard pub grub. Duck was unexpected for a pub menu and was really good value, and puddings were very good.
Garden could do with a spruce up for the summer months i.e. furniture, umberellas etc as could be a really attractive spot.

We had a lovely birthday meal (11 of us). The food was tasty and beautifully cooked. The service was a little slow but staff were very helpful and friendly. There was a bouncy castle in the garden which entertained the children. We would definitely go back and recommend people to visit

Visited on a week night when the pub was very quiet, however I didn't have a great experience unfortunately. I ordered a steak and whilst I wasn't expecting much I certainly wasn't impressed when I had to chase my meal after 45 minutes only for it to come out very overcooked. At this point I wasn't sending the food back in the fear of having to wait again for my meal so I must add that I didn't give them the opportunity to fix it.
We sat outside at first for some drinks and what has the potential to be a nice beer garden is unfortunately not very well kept, full of dog poo, litter and a random Tik-Tok bouncy castle.

Waited over an hour for simple food and when it arrived it was wrong!
What's happened recently? Normally much better . Not rushing back .
