Great find…. Whilst looking for a campsite happend across this place just as it opened at 12 o’clock.
Had a coffee and a chat with Julie, so helpful she should have been a tour guide, gave us some options of campsites which we had already checked, then said you can use our grass area if you’re self sufficient!
We stayed the night along with 3 camper vans.
The pub has lots of parking, under cover outdoor seating, play area and is yards away from the canal with frequent stopping narrow boats.
There are lots of walks from here along the canal so you can build an appetite ready for dinner.
Steak pie was awesome my wife really enjoyed an ample portion of lasagna
Great choice of beers and wine
As a bonus you can get day hire of a narrow boat right outside the pub.
Such an enjoyable experience.
Last food is about 20:30
Nice pub small inside but good out door seating area much of it covered. Small smart children's play area with benches. Food was good quality at reasonable price. Pleasant bar staff. Good choice of beers and lagers
We called in on the way through Cheedleton. A fairly good lunch today on a busy Easter weekend. Food was a little luke-warm and a little underwhelming given the prices unfortunately however, they were packed. The views surrounding the pub are lovely and there is plenty of parking and tables inside and out. There is a canal with barges that runs next to the pub which is very pretty. The pub is very dog friendly with plenty of water available.
I came in solo after boating all day on the canal & was pleasantly surprised with how busy it was for a Thursday night. Two sides to pub. A restaurant side which looked modern and then the other side a traditional pub with lovely furnishings and decor. The staff was super friendly & the owner gave me lots of advise on the area & even offered to post my post cards that I had written out as there was not a post box close by. The food was delicious & I will make sure I come back to this place for another visit and I don’t live locally.
Thank you for looking after me. Jamie
Evening meal with wife. Great atmosphere, great service, great food. Then spent night in campervan in there grass area of carpark. Will be back. Also a lovely spot to sit outside with a drink on canal Bank and watch the world go by.
What a brilliant pub. We called in with our New Zealand friends and enjoyed both the food and beer. I chose a steak and ale pie, and it was truly exceptional with loads of tender steak in it and 4 perfectly cooked fresh veg with it. As a real ale fan, it was great to see the selection on offer. I was too full to have a pudding, but they looked great!
A very nice location and a very popular pub. Gets extremely busy in summer so you need to get there early. The menu is pretty basic and a bit over priced. It's the first time I've had a lasagne in a pub that didn't come with a side salad just a few fat chips, no garlic bread.
We love it here, such a beautiful country pub right on the canal. Absolutely stunning in the hot weather. Can get quite busy though. Food is always delicious and their chips are to die for! Great prices too.
Just eaten one of the best meals in a pub for a long time. Fillet steak with a beautiful sauce of our choice. Beautifully cooked to our requirements, top quality and fantastic value. The ambiance in this pub is very welcoming with open fires very cosy. The staff are lovely too. Highly recommended.
This is a fantastic place beautiful location right next to canal, great views great staff great food
