Description

Nestled by the canal, this charming pub boasts a lovely garden and potential for a vibrant atmosphere, yet it struggles with inconsistent service and dining experiences. While some visitors enjoyed delicious meals and friendly staff, others faced long waits for food and a lack of flexibility from management, particularly concerning menu availability. Despite its appealing location and character, the pub's service issues—including unwelcoming staff and frequent menu items running out—have marred the overall experience for many. A more efficient kitchen and improved customer service could transform this establishment into a beloved local gem.

Whetherspoon type pub, but without the annoying, loud mouthed drunks. Great after a long walk by the river or RSPB nearby.

Always seem to run out of food offered on the menu. This has happened to me 3 times in the last couple of months.

So I went here today with my children and 3 other family members 6 people in total me and my sister ordered separately but within seconds of each other but her food turned up around 30 minutes later and mine came over 30 minutes later they had no stakes and also I only ordered a children’s pasta and chicken stripes and chip twice and it wasn’t worth it my children meal was past with a watery sauce no taste absolutely nasty and no more then 6 chips and half looked battered ! Chicken was bland had no taste at all and chips was less then a handful for a adult meal so not only did I wait for a hour but the food was absolutely not worth the money at all and was nasty I wouldn’t go here again waste of money To update this review it’s now 22:21 and my son has diarrhoea and vomiting

Good pub with a riverside view. Staff were very friendly. The menu is a corporate one, but my gammon, egg and chips were well cooked and delicious.

It's a tough one to give 5 stars to. The staff have always with one exception been great. But the arrogance and rudeness of one male individual ruined it. The food is . . . .Well mostly good for pub grub, but can vary between ok and not acceptable at rare times. I guess different staffing levels create issues. I'm sorry to down grade you guys, and girls. But these little issues should be noticed and dealt with. After all, it's my money you want.
