What Callum S doesn't like about Canoe and Paddle Pub:
Usually I think people who complain about slow service are entitled crybabies. But with this place at maybe 1/3 capacity, the staff in there were fully in the weeds and did not seem to know how to work in a restaurant.

First time visiting this restaurant. It was almost an hour from the time we ordered our meals until they arrived. We were in no particular hurry, so all good. There was a one man band who was quite entertaining. All five of us enjoyed our meals and nobody left hungry. I would recommend this place and will probable return if in the area.Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant View all feedback.

Went here for breakfast recently. Food was relatively cheap AND excellent. Hash browns to die for. Staff was incredibly friendly. I will be back.
