Lime Kilns in Hinckley and Bosworth

Lovely pub, great service and delicious food! New owners are lovely too! We'll be back, especially to enjoy the canal side location in the summer months.

Great food and the new landlady landlord are friendly and very accommodating friendly clean lovely place to visit defo go back

Lovely pub and a proper pub. We're went for a few drinks and a meal with a friend. My chilli was excellent. My wife's streak was absolutely brilliant. A nice clean well presented pub. Not a massive menu but something for everyone. A great night thank you.

Great staff, great meal washed down with great beer. Bonus, music night as well. Overall a great night as usual. Thanks to everyone.

Staff were very welcoming, food was very resenably priced compared to some on the conals in the area. Pies were excellent and small food portions were amble. Well kept real ale and good selection.

This is a great canal-side pub. We were on holiday on a hire boat. Fish and chips was excellent. We also had steak and ale pie and chicken, ham, and leek pie. Both were delicious. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert with custard sauce was a real treat.

We all had excellent food, the homemade pies were exceptional with lovely thick gravy. Good price and served by a delightful young lady. Sat by the canal and had a lovely afternoon.

Dirty run down worn out pub Filth & mess everywhere Lawns all over grown Mess & untidy all round the building Bar top all sticky Cigarette butts everywhere How it’s still open is a miracle

Revamped menu doesn't provide the extensive choice previously provided. We sat outside which was poorly maintained and looking pretty sad. When the food came it was presented on paper plates, chips in a polystyrene tray and fish and chip style wooden knife and fork! No condiments were offered. Food was basic. Such a shame, we used to love coming here for lunch.

Went in the 22nd July having not been for many years And won’t be going again for another couple of years Husband had Bass, or was it. Looked like dishwater and apparently didn’t taste much better. Left half of it and we went Needs a facelift, atmosphere wasn’t brill

Lovely location beside the canal serving great pies. We also had the fish and lasagne were just mediocre. They did a sausage for the dog which he ate so guess it was ok. Only dog friendly in the garden or downstairs room, which smelt damp with dirty old furniture. Toilets were dirty with surfaces covered in thick dust and grime around sinks, despite the sign saying checked and cleaned regularly. Garden run down with rubbish and a marquee that has seen better days. Could be lovely with some tlc

Whether you are having a summer wedding and decide to use their lovely marquee or hire the cosy room downstairs with its lovely log fire, the lime kilns is a great place for celebrations. Our wedding reception was great, Gary the landlord coping with over 40 guests and ensuring everything went smoothly. It is also a favourite for sunday lunches and evening meals. Great food, friendly staff and the extra bonus of over 10 different traditional ciders and being able to watch the canal boats sail past. Highly recommend.

We went to Lime Kilns Inn 26 October 2022. Home made pies and Lasagne. Friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere. Ideal for all the family. Highly recommend this pub.

Great selection of ciders and the food is great value. Overall the prices are excellent and we highly recommend this place.

A fantastic welcoming pub. Great selection of drinks, especially a wide selection of ciders and Ales, some brewed on the premises. An excellent menu of finely presented meals. Great roasts and everything else you'd expect in a traditional pub. Located next to a canal, the beer garden is a relaxing place for a tipple and to watch the barges go by - or moor up and come in for a pint, if you happen to be boating along the Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal.

When we arrived the day was miserable raining and gloomy. The owner came outside on arrival he seen us starting to decorate the tent and with such short notice he welcomed us into the gazebo where he holds occasions and may I say it's lovely....

Excellent service. Staff were genuinely helpful and food was delicious. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend

Friendly traditional canal-side pub with excellent home-made food and good draught beer, including Timothy Taylor's Landlord, highly recommended.

Just a nice place to relax at the Ashby Canal. Good choice of beers on tap and if hungry after a canal walk you can get decent food. Particularly like the pies.

I was part of a private family birthday party for 10 and we had a great buzz! EVERYONE enjoyed their meals and those who chose from an assortment of tasty homemade pies were very complimentary indeed about the tasty quality fillings (some very unusual) and...

Stopped on our canal holiday. Excellent food and beer - traditional homemade pub food and excellent. We tried four of the pies and they were up there with the best. Definitely worth a visit. If we were local, we'd be back regularly!

Popped in for dinner after a day on the canal. The meal portions are nice and big for the price and the food itself is great. The staff are very friendly and the service was very quick. We went as a family with 2 kids...

If your idea of a pleasant Sunday drink is watching a landlord (presumably) kicking off at a mother and daughter and complaining about getting “another 1* review on trip advisor” as a result of his behaviour, then this is the place for you! Times are...

Huffed when arrived and I said we would like to eat then when asked are we late? he replied he has been too busy understandingly we brushed that off, went outside to seated area and asked the lady is there another area with more seats...

You might ask WHY the Lime  Kilns Hinckley.  Well Thank you for asking , I will tell you. I was informed that they make there own pies and have a quite a few different varieties so its time to try them out   I booked...

Having never been in the pub before we thought we would drop in for a drink while on a long walk during lock down late in the season (Sept time). It has a nice location on the canal so could/should be great for families doing...

This was our 1st visit to the Lime Kilns in years and we were hugely impressed.We ordered 2 chicken leek and ham pies which were served in excellent microwaveable containers. The pies were delicious,filling was juicey and lots of it. The chips were crisp and...

Delicious home made pies and what a selection! From the old favourites such as steak and kidney pie to more unusual ones - lamb and blackberry (blackberries from their garden) or pork and plum (again plums from the garden). We went for steak and kidney...

Great friendly environment loved the bike ride knowing a great pub garden for food and and a pint before bike ride home x great one way system in place safe and very friendly x for all families anyone x

We enjoyed the best Gammon Steak and Juiciest Scampi and chips that we have had for a very long time! This is a great pub! lovely homely feeling with a nice location, overlooking the canal . I cannot recommend the Lime Kilns enough

A superb welcome from Gary and Jill to their friendly "local". Thank you so much for reminding us of the essence of a good traditional pub and for taking such care to temper Covid-secure protection with your community-led values. Brilliant on all counts - we shall return!

This isn`t the first time we have visited on our way to visit an elderly friend in Barwell,which we do from time to time,so we are passing trade,so to speak,not regulars.We like the ambience both inside and out,when it`s warm enough,and this last visit was definitely a winter one.We enjoyed the food,which was plentiful and well cooked and the service and staff were pleasant and attentive.Will definitely visit again.

Lovely traditional pub stopped here and decided to try the fish and chip special only 6 quid amazing with a pint that’s under a tenner nice and clean friendly staff and the food was cooked just right to my taste chips crunchy but not burnt on the edges fish and peas nice n hot great value for the price

called in by chance on passing by, had a drink and some food, pub was good upstairs with a nice large beer garden facing the canal at the back.

We visited the Lime Kilns for a family meal. The food was nice although a little like warm I like mine to be steaming however nothing to send back for.The service was a little slow but the staff lovely something the owners should be proud off

Great beer festival and live music last weekend. Food lovely as always and a nice friendly welcome. Our local when in the area. Buswells real ale is the dogs!!!!

This pub has moorings outside and across on the towpath side.It was very busy Sunday lunchtime, fully booked inside but with room in the garden.Being so busy meant waiting times were quite long. Food is fairly basic; pies from the"specials" board were flabby microwaved, not baked and the Sunday roast looked re-heated.Hopefully bett when not so busy.

Started at Burton Hastings. Paddled past and then back. Stopped for a pub lunch. The garden's a bit scruffy but I like that. Lovely location. Sunny day. Great beer. Remember visiting many years ago. Hasn't changed a bit.

Nice pub with a great selection of real ales. Welcoming, homely, traditional. Reasonable canal side outdoor space with tables. Nice indoor seating area. Cosy. Decent service, reasonable food at reasonable prices. Better than it looks from the road and has great potential.

We visited this pub last night having arrived by narrowboat on the Ashby Canal. We moored on 48hr moorings less than 100 yards away. We were made to feel very welcome in the pub as we entered and our table had been reserved as requested. Our food was served very quickly and it was delicious. We had the diced lamb and a rump steak followed by pudding. The beers are really well kept and the landlord even sells his own brews which were superb. This is a pub pub. Nothing fancy (apart from the superb home brew!). The service was fantastic and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Two mains, two puds and drinks for £37. Highly recommended!!

Called in for drinks and meal with dog. Asked about dog told yes allowed but down stairs please, fair comment I thought. Having passed through warm, cosy bar, atmospheric room we went down stairs and found the barren dog room, bare bricks and dust, concrete on floor, building board against wall, no heating, no pictures, no music, no atmosphere more like a dungeon. Just one notice, keep dogs off furniture. Told by staff it had just been decorated !!!. Given dirty menu not the same menu as upstairs, felt why should we eat in this bland, dark, dingy room for the same price as upstairs, just because we have a well trained dog. Left pub without buying anything, wrote a firm but pleasant review by email to help them that night with how we felt, this has been ignored no reply. So here we are, Lime kiln Brew Pub not for dogs lovers, would never go back there, their loss of over £60. Landlords not in pub at time, we asked, staff members realise the state of room, not there fault.

Passed here a few times.. Doesn't look enticing but never judge a book by it's cover, we decided to give it a try and thank goodness we did, great choice of curry £3 inc rice and poppadom. Plus great homemade pies(£9 including chips peas and gravy) really tasty and will definitely go back. Staff were really helpful, nothing too much trouble, also they will do a take away if you heat it up at home.

On a glorious February day we were able to sit outside (it didn't feel right to eat chicken as the live variety were clucking round our feet, undeterred by our dogs).

Called in after my wife,s shopping therapy! I needed a drink and wasn't disappointed, good cask ales at least five, went for the Sea fury excellent. Menu is fairly basic but good, we both went for the pies, plenty of meat and gravy content, fish and chips looked good on next table. Lovely canal side surroundings, lots of birds and chickens in garden. Will certainly visit again. Hosts very friendly.

Have been here several times. Friendly landlord and landlady. They brew their own beer and also have a good range of ciders and a decent gin menu. Good range of food including a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. This pub is on the canal, so great for walkers. The lower room is also dog friendly. A great Sunday lunch, as they do a really good selection compared to many places. Will be back.

Myself, my girlfriend and the little terror (a 2 year old called George) came to the pub. We couldn't recommend the place more for the food and drink. A great selection of ales and gins. A brilliant steak and excellent stumpy pork and stuffing pie!!

This pub has an amazing selection of real ale and is well worth a visit to sample the different brews. The downstairs room doesn't have a bar but is a cosy little room to sit in.

We had a great reception from the lady behind the bar. Not awfully happy about having to sit downstairs with our dog. However, warm fire, comfortable seats and free doggy biscuits. Beer good, wine ok and food good value.

Good range of meals on menu catering for all types of diets. Pies a speciality. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Comfortable pub with canal side garden.

I had read bad reviews on the pub but it looked lovely on their website so we went anyway we thought maybe the other people may have just been overly fussy. The first thing that met us was the smell of bird poo, and the scattering everywhere of geese down (feathers) and geese poo. We should have left then but we decided we would have a drink because we had travelled and we were hot and thirsty. We had never heard of the beer but it didn't look good and tasted even worse than it looked it also had bits floating in it and sediment on the bottom of the glass. We sat there for a bit I think we were a bit shocked by how horrible the beer was and on looking into our beer and seeing all these bits floating up and down and all the sediment on the bottom we decided to threw our drinks away and leave.

We enjoyed sitting by the canal having a drink watching the wildlife pass by and we saw a couple of narrow boats too which was lovely. We thought that the staff were very friendly and welcoming, we will be going back again maybe with the kids for food.

Currently sat at this pub finishing our lunch. Felt i had to review so I didn't forget. Food at this pub is ok. We all enjoyed our food, I had a pie which didn't look impressive but really enjoyed, partner had scampi kids had lasagne and burger. All of us enjoyed our meal. However I must emphasise the great selection of Cider and Beer. This to me is where the pub excels. If you are looking for proper cider I strongly recommend.

Been using this place for years, the food is very good, the beer is well kept, the banter flows well, it is a nice friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We moor up here whenever we pass, they also have a great relaxed music session on Tuesday evenings after 8pm, just a few local people with guitars etc. It's great.

We cruised here on our hired narrow boat and were delighted to find an interesting selection of beers brewed locally. There is a little jar beside each beer pump with a sample of the beer so you can see what it looks like - this is something I have never seen before and it's a great idea! The young barman is enthusiastic about the beer and generally the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and we really enjoyed our pies.

Lovely food in pleasant surroundings. Staff are very welcoming and pleasant and there us a lovely waterside beer garden as well.

i went to have a lunch time drink sat at the far end of the beer garden waiting for one more person to turn up i had visited macdonalds for my daughter big mistake !!! ,i was not eating and was challenge by the landlord why we were eating in his beer garden,he did not ask if we were drinking i respected his action and said we would leave,i was not a hundred percent sure this was part of the pub but the canel siding.I told him we had eatan and drank there before ,to more verbal attack,he told me he didnt like liars, because i should of known. i could not belive where this was all coming from,like i say we have used the pub before and i thought it was me not understanding the guy.

Met friends here who were on their narrowboat, as we do not live far away. First impression was obviously of the outside. Not good. Could do with a real good tidy up and as for the chickens running free everywhere. They were all over the tables!

We went here for my birthday as my partners parents said it used to be good and they hadn’t been for years. Personally, I was disappointed. The atmosphere was very dull and it was dead. The staff didn’t look like they wanted to be there at all. There wasn’t a lot on the menu which wasn’t an issue in itself but the food wasn’t great at all. It was quite a sloppy dinner and wasn’t what I was expecting from there.

Who doesn’t enjoy sitting in the sunshine by the canal?! It’s a great setting. Shame about the busy road but there’s lots to admire too. The drinks and food menu is great. It wasn’t overly busy for a really hot visit either. There’s lots of outdoor seating too. It’s the perfect place to stop for a liquid lunch whilst out walking along the canal.

We visited the Lime Kilns this evening to make the most of the sunshine. It’s a regular stop off for us as part of our dog walks and during the winter we have been very pleased to be able to use the stable room but tonight was all about being in the garden watching the boats! The food as always was very good with a friendly welcome for us and our golden retriever. Hubby recommends the gammon while Bonnie and I enjoy the fish, scampi and cod are both great! Well worth a visit for the beers if that’s your thing though the wine is nice too!

We went there to, at least have light bites and potentially dine there but gave up. Their advert published that month talked of local foods and a ‘deli experience’ with home cooked foods to dine in or take away. No such thing exists. The downstairs cellar (available for private hire or if you have stupidly brought a dog!) is cold and and lacks any atmosphere. The ale selection was fair and the bag of scratchings a highlight. The owner should visit the The Globe at Snaresworth and see how it can be done just a few miles away.

Was going to the Longshoot but it was overbusy so opted for the Limekilns. Ordered food and was quick to arrive. The gammon and chips was very tasty with a very large portion. Peppered beef stew also was very tasty.

Popped in this weekend with friends. Great cosy olde world pup. Ordered food, which was quick to come out, hot and tasty. Really well priced. Super busy - which can only be a good thing! Can only imagine how busy it gets with thier great location on the canal in the warmer weather.

Popped in here to have a look. Beautiful olde world pub.

Female staff are nice but the guy there is very rude when being asked a simple question about the food. I wouldn’t recommend this place as the food is pretty basic and even the veg was grim and had a funny taste to it.

We took our French visitors to the Lime Kiln and the food was as good as last year. I had an ale and beef pie, my husband an English breakfast (he just loves black pudding – and it was a really good one!) and our friends fish and chips (what else in England!)

What a fantastic little place! We went 6 years ago and decided to go back as we were travelling nearby...

Group of just over 30 people had our Xmas evening meal social event. Three courses with a bottle of decent...

I went here for one of their usually nice pies and glass of real cider. The cider was fine, but...

I would describe this pub food as a bit of a hidden gem. Behind the old fashioned, traditional style pub...

Went in this place for a drink and then maybe some food. Really struggled to get the bar person to...

Called into the Lime Kilns last week for the first time for a pre arranged catch up with family I felt that I had to post a review after reading some of the negative reviews which I do not agree with I found the Lime Kilns to be a lovely well run pub with very friendly attentive staff the food we had was excellent value for money and the drinks were faultless we are retired publicans and couldn't fault the service and cleanliness of this establishment and consider the negative comments on here about this pub totally undeserved we will definitely be returning full credit to the management and staff you certainly don't deserve the negative comments that some people have posted on here keep up the good work.

Lovely landlord & landlady very welcoming.. cosy atmosphere especially both in the winter & the summer.. we have visited any times possibly three/ four times a year every year

Needed a break and food from traveling and spotted lime kilns. Soon as walked in was made very welcome. Food was delicious, service excellent and beer garden, next to canal, was stunning. Definitely recommend.

Buena comida con un grupo grande para un fin de semana de buceo. Comida y bebida local con gran variedad y servicio con algunos de los postres.

Stopped off for a pint. Was not disappointed. The foodLooked good but we had a date for that already. Just go.

We booked a table for eleven on the Thursday evening which was the last night of our canal boat holiday. We were a mixed party of four generations. The proprietors could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. The menus were appealing and several of us had the homemade pies which were delicious. The prices were very reasonable and the meals nicely presented. We were all happy with our food and would happily return.

We stopped here when cycling along the canals. Quite a nice setting and a friendly atmosphere but needs updating I feel. The choice of ales is fine and I enjoyed several pints. Unfortunately, we didn't eat here so cannot judge the food or service at this time, although we did agree that we would not want to eat here as I just didn't feel nice or clean enough to eat there. We may be wrong though!

After a very enjoyable afternoon with my wife we decided to pop by a local country pub for a refreshing beverage. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff but found the bar poorly stocked with only one brand of bottled beer. When my wife asked for a Gin and Tonic she was told there was only one choice of Gin and only Britvic Tonic available. The staff then couldn't provide cucumber for the drink. How can you provide a classic G&T without cucumber? With G&T out of the question, we asked for a Mojito which was also denied. At this point, the locals were sniggering behind their drinks. Peasants. Feeling frustrated Camilla then asked about the choice of wine, we were shocked to find they didn't offer any wines from the Stellenboch region and could only offer one type of wine in single serve bottles. Finally settling for a pineapple juice we retired to the quaint garden by the canal. Once we found a table clean enough to sit at, we were accosted by chickens until we could take no more. In all, a very poor choice of beverage for the more discerning consumer.

used to be our local fantastic times there in the 80s had our wedding reception here, still reasonable foot but predictable, untidy, and not very welcoming this visit. Lot to do with Mar stone not managers

We stopped off on a Sunday lunchtime at this pub beside Watling Street, the A5, for a light bite, e.g. a baguette with a side order of chips. No such luck on a Sunday. it's carvery only on Sundays. So it was a bag of crisps each for my partner and me. The staff weren't exactly rude but they were off-hand and behaved as though queuing customers were a nuisance. And to make our visit even worse, I then had a problem in the small car park. I had parked in a marked space but another car was then left sideways on, a few feet in front of mine, the landlord (I assume) stood beside it, for some reason with a calor gas container, and made no effort to help me leave the tight parking space. Dreadful.

Where do I start I know even giving it a one rating is to generous. We went for a special family reunion and what a disappointment. Was lovely looking out onto the canal but the chickens running round wasnt very hygienic. Should have left at that point. There was 9 of us, 2 ordered the chilli big mistake. It at best resembled chewed up and spat out dog food looked disgusting tasted even worse. The colour of it was a very pale beige not a red chilli colour. You could tell it had been defrosted and Luke warmed up as you could clearly see the rectangular outline of the Tupperware container. The worst was yet to come when we very kindly took it back inside not even eaten and pointed out the lady (think she was the owner?) was so defensive and rude it was unbelievable. I work in hotel management and id be horrified if any of my staff spoke to a customer like that. She was right we were wrong her exact words were 'well it's one of our most popular dishes if it's not to your liking I can't help that!' Seriously, not even a sorry yet alone an offer to replace it or take anything off the bill. We ordered more drinks and could see in the kitchen no one was wearing gloves, again not a good sign. When it came to paying the man at the bar was a bit more helpful than the lady then again that wasn't hard. And after a bit of tooing and froing he did take a nominal charge off the bill, but it should never have got to that point. The food was brought back uneaten that speaks volumes. I'd happily hand my hard earned cash over for good food and service but I begrudge it when both are not warranted and chancers think they can get away with it. I can not see how anyone thinks this is a good eating establishment. Do yourself a favour and go to the lovely harvester down the road, better food, better service, better value for money. DONT EAT HERE.

Terrible food and we were told that if it was not to our liking too bad as the chilli is one of there best sellers !!!! AWFUL , I wouldn't have served if to my dog !

Definitely not a modern gastro-pub!Quite a lot of indoor seating as well as canal-side picnic tables, this pub offers quite a range of inexpensive dishes - including many different pies. We had a beef pie and a risotto. The presentation of the risotto was rather unusual and came with chips! Service was very much take it or leave it - but then you get what you pay for.

Called in for the curry night on Monday which was excellent value for money and there was a good choice of real ale.

Lovely setting and location by the canal. The pies and ales were great, the staff friendly and the service quick!

Went here with my friend for our fortnightly catch up, we like to try different places round where we live. The welcome we got was far from friendly it seemed as if it was too much trouble. We both had our favourite fish and chips the meals came out very hot and quite quick it was nothing special however we did eat most of it, other customers came in while we were there and they never even got a smile. I don't think we will return.

Well the Limn Kilns has lost my business forever. After popping in for lunch today at 13-55, the bar staff were busy serving food. When he returned at 14-01 he informed me that food stops at 14-00, despite me saying I had been waiting for 5 minutes. Rang the manager tonight who wasnt interested and put the phone down on me. CUSTOMER SERVICE at its best. Shame cause food is lovely.

We were here for a birthday meal for my partner. I don't think I've been here before, I was pleasantly surprised. They catered for 16 of us (including three children), we all found something we liked, the food was absolutely wonderful, very fresh and extremely tasty. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, they even gave us plates so we could serve up the birthday cake that we'd brought in. I would 100% recommend the Lime Kilns to anyone, even the view is brilliant, right on the canal.

Most enjoyable visit and good walk along the canal afterwards.Good choices and welcoming staff. Thank you very much.

Having called in for the occasional drink we thought we would try the Monday night curry. Great value at three pounds and good ales to wash it down with. The pies are also good but some of the other meals appear to be from the freezer. Still a great pub and we'll be back.

Ignore first impressions and judgement by locals The food - well the pie specials board is truly worth everything. We've vowed to come back and work through the board

This is a really traditional pub serving top quality beer and excellent homemade food!!!We went on a Wednesday for the Pie and Pint evening where a wide range of really tasty homemade pies were on offer. We had four different pies all of which were lovely (I had the steak, red wine and mushroom ..... yummy!!)Friendly knowledgeable Landlord .... nice roaring fire ... plenty of parking DEFINITELY WORTH A VISIT!!!!!

Visited this pub for Sunday lunch in November. We were served by a hairy biker looking man who I can only describe as very unwelcoming. He was quite abrupt and both me and my husband felt we were being a nuisance to him for wanting to be served. Pub was very quiet considering it was lunch time and possibly his attitude was the reason why. We both had roast dinner which was fine and served by a lady who was thankfully a little friendlier. We will possibly return as we are not easily intimidated and it was quite an experience as felt like we were in a scene of Fawlty Towers being served by Basil. My husband summed him up nicely by reminding me of the saying 'under every pony tail you will always find an a@#ehole

Visited for Monday's Curry Night for £3.00 per head - lovely meal, ordered Lamb Rogan and husband ordered Chicken Balti, friend ordered fish cakes - curry plates were cold and consequently rice spread out over cold plate was cold also when it came to the table and thus the curry was not hot (temperature wise) either, having said that, everything was tasty and served by friendly staff and, yes, I would come again. I like this pub, been coming for over 20 years now and it has a good layout and allows you to have good tables for good conversations - thank you ☺

So after reading some negative reviews on here we still decided to come and have a meal here. And from the moment we walked in we were pleasantly surprised the staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough to assist, food was delicious. We both had 1 of the pies and was very tasty and good value for money. We shall be visiting again. Thankyou very much.

Ok it was a cold 8c November day. We parked up alongside a canal. We climbed stairs to the Bar. A quick glance at a chalk board revealed a list of pies. Another chalk board..a list of real ale. On the bar another menu revealed most of our favourite pub meals. We sat beside an open fire. It had been 20+years since our group had visited this pub. We agreed not to leave it so long. The food, staff and ale are excellent. The A5 is busy. The pub is worth putting your blinker on.

Good food and good value. Much used by locals and canal folk. CAMRA winning establishment. Wonderful selection of different pies. Restaurant is on first floor which is level with main road (A5). A little limited in size but plenty of tables outside - if good weather. So suggest you book in advance.

This place is situated right on the A5 and next to a canal, we didn't see much of the canal as it was dark we went but the photos in daylight look nice. This is quite a small place to eat with a local feel specialising in real ale (I am not much of a drinker so can't comment on this aspect) and home cooked food which was excellent and great valve, most of the meals are £8.25 and the children's menu is less than £4 for a big enough plate of food to keep the hungry monsters happy.There is plenty of parking here which is down at canal level but you have to use steps to access the main pub which is at road level. The toilets are also downstairs.I would come here again without a second thought but our second day is a Sunday and they don't seem to serve food on Sunday evening. One final thought is that they also have lots of specials on each day of the week but I would say that a good home cooked pie is the highlight of this place.

This pub has a well earned reputation, it is busy for good reason, the beer and food are really excellent,
