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.

Food and service excellent. But the very bad language used by the locals was unpleasant and unnecessary. We won't be going again.

There were 8 of us went for Sunday lunch. It was also birthday celebrations for 3 of the party. The staff were so kind and helpful , especially considering we asked to move out of the side room into the bar, involving moving tables around.. 6 of us ordered the Sunday lunch. The food was amazing, lots of extras, cauliflower cheese , stuffing and lots of beautifully cooked vegetables. All served by the lovely staff with lots of smiles and banter. I also asked if we could bring a birthday cake in, which was no problem, and after the meal they brought it out with candles lit . I love this place anyway, but definitely one of my favourite. Can’t wait to go again. Chris x

disappointed with the food a friend recommended the place but will not be returning I went for the burger that took forever to come for saying we were the only ones eating in the whole pub and when it arrived the bun was cooked to a crisp and the burgers just didn't hold any shape so ended up just being mince on a plate and also was flavorless the chips where cold on the plus side the desert was good bar staff/waiter was more interested in talking to the customers who was drinking rather than serving food that's probably why it was cold

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!!

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

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 👍🏻

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.

I love this setting and have only had coffee and cake there before but today was a really disappointing experience. I took my friend out for her Birthday & we ordered a full breakfast. I was so looking forward to it. We had a few places in mind & I though this is a fab little setting so let’s pay a bit more and have an enjoyable experience. We ordered two full English breakfasts at £13.50 & what arrived did not live up to the photos or my expectations. There was plenty of food but the it was not great. The poached eggs were hard, the black pudding, bacon, hash brown and sausages was as h greasy & hard as cardboard. I had a really thick end pieceof black pudding and my friend had a burned wafer thin slice that she could not eat. The whole plate was greasy and you could taste the fat oil & nothing else. The man sat across the other side was using the napkin to soak up the grease on his plate & felt his beans to see if warm. The young girl on the till was very pleasant and friendly and that’s what I noticed going in. She said she was the Asst Mgr but she just lacked experience. She offered us a full refund which was great however we just wanted a nice breakfast. She apologised & advised me that the chef had some personal issues which I sympathise with but when you are a business you need customers & I have to be honest & say I would not have breakfast there again. The chefs clothes was filthy & no uniform was provided. He kept going out the back scratching his head. When you open a business, you need to look after it in order for it to stay open. I think this little cafe is better as a coffee shop or bar, but not for food. I would certainly not recommend breakfast there. If Management could train staff, provide a uniform & be present then this could be a great little spot as breakfast is not difficult to execute. I could have made my friend a top breakfast at home for 1/3 price with freshly squeezed orange & ice would have saved us this experience. I hope this feedback is taken as constructive feedback and actions taken to ensure uniform is provided & meals are served to a high standard to meet pricing. My phone was at home charging luckily otherwise I’d happily attach photos.
