Recently reopened, this picturesque canal-side stop offers a reasonable selection of drinks, though currently no food is available. Despite this setback, the ambience and service are excellent, making it well worth a visit. Unfortunately, the food quality has received mixed reviews in the past, with some customers expressing disappointment. However, the staff's friendliness and the overall atmosphere have been praised, offering a promising outlook for future visits. The Top Lock has attracted a loyal following, with many eager to return and support the new management team who are dedicated to making this establishment a success.

Not open when we arrived at 4.15pm even though the website says open 11am to 11pm. Not a great start

Permanently closed. Such a shame. Was worth all its previously good eviews No doubt the canal boat users will miss it. It is a long way to the Golden Lion further east. Even that is precarious only open as a bar so far as I could see.

The risotto far too dry and when asked to provide some extra sauce to loosen it by the time they brought it the meal was cold the pie my husband had was far too watery, the flavour was good but it was like a soup. The manager of the bar also agreed. When she asked for feedback we politely told her what we thought, she apologised and said she would feed it back to the chef. That’s great for the next customers if they fix it but not for us, we were left very disappointed. Not a offer of an other other dish/dessert/drink to make up for the poor meal so we will definitely not return for food again.

I'm not sure what the previous review was all about, clearly written by someone with personal issues. I have been a regular at this pub for several years and I am thrilled to see it reopen. The new team here is professional and always creates a warm and friendly atmosphere. I am looking forward to trying the food, as I'm sure it will be fantastic. The beer is excellent and I am happy to see that it is still dog-friendly. I believe that the Top Lock has finally found a great landlord and management team that will help it thrive. I highly recommend paying a visit.

Charming and inviting pub. Perfect for a leisurely stroll along the canal and enjoying a refreshing beer or wine break. I will definitely return during the summer, as the setting is so lovely.
