Bridge 61 in Harborough

What a great pub !! Really friendly staff and got some cracking beers on draft at affordable prices! Breakfast was mega and will 100% be returning to this great traditional pub, thank you !

Great place, been going there for years.

Enjoyable breakfast experiance, although a little pricy it not over priced, it is a tourist location and for this reason 4 stars is real good as usualy quantity is over quality. I was hungry so had a large breakfast and scoffed the lot 😋 good stuff Service with a smile and a good sence of humour Kind Regards Barron Allan Danial Barry.... it Darren FYI lol 😆

Can beat this. 1- breakfast perfect 2- laundry done 3- pet friendly ( came out and gave our dogs 2 bowls of treats)!! 4- so friendly . When I phoned it had just closed . The chap said tills closed but I’ll drop you off a bottle of Bailey’s ( we were just across the pond) What a true friendly community shop and hospitality!!!

Mega quaint. Recommend the local ale.

Nice little pub with vegan options. Lovely staff.

This is a good place for coffee or a beer, limited food available but good

A tiny pub beside the canal to have a beer and enjoy the superb atmosphere around. Pub is small from inside even the place they are serving from the window but there's a beer garden next to it or couple of chairs. Nothing is special there but the atmosphere most I enjoy. That's the only thing they're having business to be honest.

Nice coffee with a bacon sandwich 🥪.

I think perhaps you fry your chips and sausages in the same oil. It gave the chips an unpleasant taste. Either that or oil needed changing. Its a shame as the other food was fine. It did feel like the tables could do with periodic wipe down - didn't see it being done whilst we were there. Edit running my own business our chip oil (don't mix with meat products) is not tainted by just a days frying, it takes much longer, and I would not think of suggesting to a paying patron with a middling review noticing improvements and commenting in a non offensive way to come and work for us and seeing if they could do better, its actually rude and childish, I would have invited the person back asking to try us again. Every business should always look at maintaining or raising the bar not letting it slip

Lovely little place by the super Foxton Locks

Excellent food friendly staff, clean and the beers well kept toilets clean, and have hot water that works. They serve amazing lunches here and the full English is just the job.

Beside the canal, it's so cold that you could practically faint at some times of the year. This is probably the best place for you to take a rest. The amazing food accompanied by the warm atmosphere of a traditional pub is overwhelming great. If I were completely honest, the servers and cooks seemed extremely friendly and would be willing to engage in conversations and dilemmas about the canals and the restaurant. I will definitely come here again in the future.

Just missed out on having food here as they had just stopped serving as we arrived. Menu looked inviting so we will be back to try the food. Drinks and service was amazing as always. Nice seating area outside to watch the boats and listen to the birds. Inside was warm and cosy. Looking forward to returning very soon.

Still the best pub in the world!!

Love this place with its homemade food, fine ales and crackling log fire. Lovely ambience set in the delightful Foxton Locks

Very small place but super service and smashing bacon butties, the dog was even welcome and given treat's, highly recommended, friendly atmosphere and polite staff

A really lovely place to stay halfway along a cold and frosty walk. Warm welcome and great beer staff were excellent and food was freshly cooked. A little gem

Food was poor on this occasion. Cornish pastie was white like dough bread with a grey filling. The soup was week like cuppa soup.

Did not eat but that's not the reason to visit. The beer and atmosphere were as always exemplorary. Relaxed easy place to unwind.

Went for lovely walk down the locks and found Bridge 61 .. I was made feel very welcome . This small tradition cafe/ food place :-) was a gem :-) Thank for the lovely Brew , I’ll be back Clive

A cheery welcome and well kept real ale.

Great fun people food great lovely welcome

Nice coffee and a good place to sit and watch the boats.

After the descent of the Foxton Staircase, Bridge 61 is a welcome stop for a glass of beer. The beer drinker will find a nice choice of ale on tap with friendly staff to help. Little not to like about this fine establishment.

A decent pint of bitter in a beautiful location, friendly barman, place has loads of character, beer garden for the good weather, well worth a visit...

Proper dog friendly boaters pub, really old style English boozer inside and the owners are really sound. Nice priced pint.

Lovely friendly cafe. We had a couple of rolls, cheese, ham and pickle, tasty and fresh. Plus a J20 to drink. The loos were clean and cool, it was a hot day today.

I adore this place, what you see is what you get, staff are really friendly and beer is very well kept indeed. Fabulous refreshment stop after a long walk. 5 stars if you re-upholster your benches :)

A great place to stop for a beer, coffee and a great range of snacks as well as excellent offerings from the kitchen. Friendly and welcoming staff. Seating inside is warm and cosy, alternatively outside in the beer garden or at tables that provide close up view of the narrowboats moving in and out of the bottom lock.

Lovely place, staff very nice and helpful, can eat inside or out 😊

Small quirky historic pub/bar, with food and drinks including a decent draft beer, by Langton Brewery

Great pub with a friendly staff offering a good range of beers and food. The bacon roll is fabulous and they make a cracking cuppa to go with it.

Absolutely love this place always buy some food & drink to support buisness, the food is really nice. Enjoy showing my kids the history on the walls. Staff are so friendly too would recommend to anyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best bacon & egg roll ever! Thick country bacon, and eggs with dark orange centres. Delightful cosy pub as well, with fireplace. Uncrowded, as it was early January and cold...

Decent beer, good chips. Plenty of places to sit and watch the boats and people go by.

Ok place to sit and have a drink but it could be so much nicer and cleaner with a bit of effort.

Lovely little pub at the locks , great to watch the barges go by and reasonably priced

Lovely little place. Good beer.

Good basic good and liquid refreshment of all kinds. It is small and cozy but has a great garden space. I will be back.

Excellent well kept beer with friendly staff.

Home away from home (BOAT) Good place for watching people watch boats at Foxton Locks.

Fantastic little cafe/shop/pub. Loved sitting in the beer garden with our dog which had dog water provided. Very friendly shop, also has a shower room and launderette attached.

Nice location, but the male shopkeeper acted like he was doing us a favour, after queuing for 10 minutes in the sun. Would be a good idea to have a list of beers whilst waiting instead of everyone having to ask the grumpy git what's on tap

A great pint in a great setting

This is a lovely canalside pub good beer..good grub.. Everyone welcome!

We always stop here on our Sunday dog walk. A pint and a cornetto. Pint for my son and cornetto for me and the dogs to share! Much less formal and friendly service.

I'm trying to be kind, these are difficult times after all. But for a bacon and egg roll, plus a sausage one, (both of the size you'd make at home for the kids) and two hot drinks to come to £18 is a bit rich.

Excellent bacon roll (cooked to order) and decent coffee.

Covid friendly. Still good food in beautiful surroundings

Due to covid the pub is unable to function the way it normally does. This is unstandable. You wear a face mask when entering the shop and you collect the food from the hatch.The food they served were mainly snacks, but when the weather is hot what more do you need. They tasted fantastic.The shop is great and reasonably priced and the staff are amazing. We visited on 24/08/20. Don't listen to the negative reviews and support this business. It was my first time and I will be back.

Seems to have lost the plot with Covid. Operating as a beer garden only but forcing you to enter a shop and wear a mask to order unlike EVERY other pub. Very limited menu- basically only snacks. Such a shame to throw away what seems to have been a good reputation. I recommend avoiding until they start operating normally - if they survive

Great up friendly atmosphere and great food

Bridge 61 is also at a prime location at the Foxton Locks. It offers a solid choice of beers and ales as well as your pub comfort foods.at this instance I had breakfast overlooking this beautiful scenery and enjoying these rare rays of sunshine.

You can get some nice food here, better than the other pub other side of lock. Winter is also a good time to go here for a hot choc or coffee etc.

Bridge 61 pub is nice place to meet up with friends and fellow boaters

Small friendly pub right next to the canal. Lovely.

Great little pub.fantastic friendly staff,good beer in lovely surroundings

Excellent traditional pub at the bottom of Foxton Locks. Good ale trade food. Deserves support.

Good honest food and ale at an excellent price. Brilliant hospitality

Great place. Full of character.

Nice little pub on the side of the canal shame the pasty and sausage roll were not cooked properly raw pastry not nice at all.

Excellent small pub at the foot of the locks, no road access per-sey canal and towpaths only, full pub plus a limited food menu but fully adequate when you realise that there is another full meal pub the other side of the canal nearer the car park if you want the all inclusive version.

We have had a very nice evening with live music. Complements to the barman. It is a shame that some people have other thoughts about him.

Nice place to chill out, can be busy in the summer

Great beer...but the barman was so drunk at 1.20 in the afternoon..not impressed....

Tea drinkers avoid - poor quality tea served in a cracked mug that hadn't been washed up properly.

Great beer just watch how drunk the barman gets!!!

Great place. Great service and friendly atmosphere

Great place in a great spot...no fuss or frills, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff.

Super lunch of the tastiest sausage and melted cheese in a granary sub roll, (OH had a white sub roll). Park in the C&RT top car park (long stay) and follow the signs to the bottom lock where you will find this super pub. After partaking of your refreshments, from a piece of cake to a meal, walk back to the car park by the other route. That way you can see the whole of the system and some great views.

Nice friendly little pub with good food staff are brilliant especially John for his food suggestions

Lovely experience. Situated right by Foxton Locks. Shop, cafe and pub. Very reasonable prices. Good food. Staff were so nice and helpful. Will certainly go again.

Where to start.... Avoid if you want food. We didn't stay long enough to even try, the alarm bells where just too strong.

Great little place better then the yuppie wanna be across the cut

Lovely pub and area, just the lady who was serving us needs to be a little more polite and have a little smile on her face, I no we all have bad days but she was just rude.

Nice pub and the ploughman's was lovely and really good value!

Cozy little pub next to the locks. Had a nice cup of tea and a sausage roll.

A superb cosy little pub with a great atmosphere. Great place to drop in for a light meal and hot or cold drink at very reasonable prices. Wonderful friendly staff. Cant wait to visit again

Lovely little pub relly friendly people nice prices too one of the most tranquil pub gardens IV ever been in I was on the run at the time and very paranoid but this little gem was so relaxing I forgot I was even wanted lol

Lovely place for a nice beer by the canal.

Ordered 2 rolls, bacon & pork. Dry. Tea, well... Won't be rushing back.

Lovely area, great people and a wonderful little pub with so much character. Lovely little place...will definitely be back!!

Excellent friendly little pub with great local real ales

A great little pub standing proud against the tidalwave of fake and faceless 'chain' pubs taking over the canals which offer little other than a sanitized corporate 'identity'. Bridge 61 is where the real atmosphere is to be found.
