Our favourite pub in Shardlow. Staff very friendly, fun, and inviting. Friday fish and chips are absolutely amazing. Awesome selection of beers. The pork pies with complementary pickles are just too good to miss! We always take a couple home for a late night feast! The only pub I've ever been to with board games printed on every table with pieces available behind the bar. Full selection of games from kids snakes and ladders to monopoly and Scrabble. Not forgetting the beautiful wood burning stove set centrally within the pub. Live music quite regular too and always a great laugh. A must visit for anyone visiting the fabulous historical canal port of Shardlow.

Perfection at its best - we both had the belly pork, served with a fresh salad and skinny fries, one of the best dishes I have had in ages, would totally recommend. Great beer! Great friendly staff Great service Will definitely return. Thank you.!

Been coming here a fair while now for Sunday dinner as its been the best we have found. Went on 2nd June and it just wasn't the same. Plonked in the middle of the plate was mash topped with meat, Yorkshire pudding with a stuffing ball in middle and a bamboo stick thing stuck in the middle of it and two small not so crunchy roast potatoes, and then a share bowl of vegetables. I'm sorry but please bring back your good old traditional way of serving. 😔 Just wasn't the same or as nice!!

This is honestly the best pub in Shardlow, actual home made food which is outstanding and to be fair under priced, breakfast is perfectly cooked and never greasy, the home made pies honestly knock it out of the park! the beers and ciders are on point every time. 10/10

Have been going for years for breakfast, today prices increased. Noted no orange juice . We discussed this at home, read the review below and agree ! £19.90 for 2 standard breakfasts and yes reduced items ! Breakfasts used to be 7.50 each with juice and drinks and black pudding. Understand things have gone up. Price increase or reduced items at the most and then not at 32% ! Won’t be having breakfasts again….

Disappointed, increase in price but taken off the fresh orange juice & black pudding. Requested no tomatoes and asked if it could be substituted by extra baked beans, unwilling to make the substitute but happy to take the full price. When the breakfast arrived it was very greasy not the same standard as previously. Would not hurry back

Called here while on a circular walk for refreshments. Had a roast baguette and a pint of Wainwright's. Baguette with beef was served with a couple of roasties, two stuffing balls, gravy and horseradish-- simply delicious! Both food and beer was sensibly priced. Good menu of pub food dishes, well priced. 5 star hygiene. You can't go wrong.

It’s the best meal we have both had our in a very long time - excellent - can’t recommend it highly enough

Fantastic little local, they focus on different food on different days and does it properly. Good beer and live music. They tick all the boxes. Be aware they are only licenced for children on the premises until 8, which caught us out, but wasn't a major issue and they were very polite about it.

Delicious home cooked food. Chicken pie was packed with filling, served with beautifully crispy home made chips and plenty of veg on the side.....broccoli, cauli, carrots and sugar snap peas, not your usual boring garden peas......and the gravy was so tasty! The fish was huge, the burgers very tasty, the roast dinner was also excellent and comes in different sizes depending on your appetite. There was 7 of us all ordering different meals and they all came out at the same time too. Lovely warm, cosy, quaint little place at the side of the river, very friendly, helpful staff, just perfect 👍🏻

Walked into the cafe to find both ladies sat at a table playing on their phones It felt almost like we were a nuisance when they had to get up to serve us No greeting or even a smile off them, in fact one leaned on the counter with her head resting in her hand and looked like she had no interest in what we wanted Food was bought to us but not up to much and immediately it was served they then went back to sitting down and on their phones Both looked really miserable and as if they didn’t want us to be there Felt really uncomfortable and as soon as we had finished we quickly left, even though some cake would have been nice You need to change your staff as has totally put us off visiting again and I am sure other people felt the same

Really busy on a Friday lunchtime which is always a good sign. Excellent menu difficult to choose! We opted for fish finger sandwich with fries and halloumi sandwich with fries, one of us opted for salad instead of fries and this wasn’t an issue. Only negative is the coffee - not a good flavour and served luke warm. This was swapped swiftly for us and the staff were lovely and the service was good. It’s also very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend.
