The Blue Lias Inn in Stratford-on-Avon

Of course, the weather was wonderful, which helped the ambiance but we had a lovely time at The Blue Lias today, sitting outside to eat, watching boats going past on the canal. The food, fish and chips, was basic but good quality and well-cooked. The staff were pleasant and helpful. There were plenty of clean water bowls for our dogs, which I had to fill so the water was fresh.

With lovely sunny weather, we came for an early dinner. My partner had fish and chips and I had steak and ale pie. The food was good - a swan wanted to attract my attention whilst we were eating and pecked my arm! Great location and friendly staff.

Unexpected great visit. We set off to visit the Boat, where we were met by a dour faced & rude Woman telling us the boat is closed. We drive on a few miles & find the lias. Lovely, unpretentious place with the best steak pie ever! Lovely warm staff & now weird ‘locals only’ feeling. Bravo.

A delightful meal, sitting watching the canal boats, in the sunshine. The food was good; the staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our car on the car park whilst we walked our dogs along the tow path.

Lovely position and very quaint. Very dated inside which actually adds to its charm. Nice to see a pub not swallowed up by the brewery or a chain. Hanging baskets outside are wonderful. Staff were very friendly too. Its clearly family run and again that is lovely to see. Unfortunately the food lets it down. After we ordered we were surprised that all our food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. We had the specials - Chicken and Mushroom pie. It was clear by the taste and consistency that it was made with a tin of mushroom soup and they added cooked chicken and a puff pastry lid. Whilst it had plenty of chicken, this is quite poor by todays standards. Portions were small and the chips were quite under cooked on all our meals. Our childrens meals were all frozen and put in the oven affairs. Overall the food was more like a take away cafe than a pub. However lovely for canal side drinks.

Setting along the canal fabulous. Selection of rolls/sandwiches abit basic, need more variety. Tuna mayo roll tasty. Didn't find staff very helpful, abit abrupt (maybe the heat), couldn't bring salt and pepper to your table, get it yourself from the bar. Couldn't have lemon & lime in a pint glass, no ice creams in ice cream fridge (told wouldnt sell them as end of summer) Disappoint with the staffs' attitude.

Great pub. Great staff and a lovely setting. So pleased we walked away from The Biat. Will always be the first call.

Mainly good value for money. Large portion sizes and reasonably priced. Food was lovely. Great pub on the canal. Has a caravan site onsite which is quite nice too. Good location for walking along the canal.

Just called in for a family meal and drink after a quick visit for a drink last week. The pub location is excellent and last week we had a wonderful relaxing drink. Today, however, was shocking. We ordered our first drinks and food at the table then proceeded to wait for over an hour for our food. Other people who arrived after us were getting their food near enough straight away. We asked what was happening and eventually we were told that the order had not been put through. The landlady (I presume) offered us no apology at all and basically didn't seem bothered whether we had a meal or not. She said you can wait if you want or not in a not very amiable tone and walked away.We did then get our food and ordered more drinks. Then the same happened again, we waited and waited for our drinks. We had to ask again where our drinks were only to be told that 1 of the drinks had run out. I had already heard the same barmaid tell someone on the table next to us that the drink had run out over 15 minutes earlier. She had obviously forgotten our order again. When she did come back we cancelled our drinks order and paid and left very disappointed.Such a shame for a wonderful pub with a great setting.

We stayed at the campsite for a couple of days for the first time, what a lovely pleasant surprise.The staff are very Friendly and helpful Campsite it’s self amazing, very clean, very quite, very pleasant, the pitches are very big so not squashed together, the fishing lakes were great and only £6.00 per day. The toilets and shower blocks were very clean day and night, Car boot there on Wednesdays. Pub on site was lovely, we sat next to the Cannel had food and drinks.We have booked again for 2 weeks time Highly recommend

Just had a lovely weekend at this camp site in motorhome, fantastic location on the canal with great walks with the dog, Fishing was enjoyed by my husband, Pitches very spacious with electric, need level ramps though depending upon which pitch your on. Toilet & showers open, but we used our own facilities.Very busy pub, sat outside overlooking the canal, limited menu, with some items not available, but was still good portions and hot food. Pleasant & polite staff.Will definitely be returning

Absolutely brilliant weekend away in our Campervans with friends.Stunning Location with excellent Walks direct from the Pub.Both the Pub and Camp site were set up well inline with Current Covid Rules.Got to say the Blue Lias still has the best Showers I’ve ever used on a Camp site.Despite the dreadful weather we had a great time and Hats off to the Staff for helping people get off the very wet field

Had a fabulous time at this campsite. Facilities spotless Staff very accommodating . The site is very pretty,well maintained and very generously sized pitches . Lovey pub with a huge beer garden looking out over the canal . Lovely walks from site which was perfect for dog owners like ourselves. Will definitely return here .

Very hospitable hosts. We stopped in our boat and love the location. Will come back again. Sadly not open very much at the moment but the good times are coming

Such a great stay with family, pitches are well spaced, well kept and very scenic from wherever you are pitched. Looking forward to next visit.

We visited here in the evening during the eat out to help out scheme. We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside and it was absolutely beautiful. The service was friendly, better than many places I have been to. The food was delicious, I’m quite a fussy eater and a vegetarian and I had a couple of options to choose from. Lovely presentation and great quality, the chocolate pudding was ridiculously good! Can’t wait to go back. I would note- the waitresses could know the menu a little bit better to be able to advise on gluten free etc, while the menu is marked out very well the desserts didn’t indicate dietary requirements.

This was our 1st visit to this location, on arrival our pitch was changed to a canal side. What a lovely couple of days. We had a wander up the tow path, limited menu at the moment but good food and excellent service. Can’t comment on facilities as was closed, can use pub toilets when open. Definitely will be returning.

From the outside this pub is stunning sitting alongside the grand union canal there is enough mooring points on both sides for up to about 10 boats it has a lovely large garden area and had very good Covid system in place We moored up next to the garden and followed the instructions, where you go to one part of the bar to order then another part to pay we ordered from a restricted menu sausage and chips for two and pint and a half of larger which came to £22 which we thought was a little bit much, when the food arrived in plastic containers the chips were a lovely golden colour and three nice looking sausages and it did taste very nice the service was quick and professional and it's an ideal stop for anyone with disabilities I did not use the toilets as we were sat right next to our narrowboat, We will next time we go on a trip to Stratford call in and have a full meal I do highly recommend this establishment

We visited here today with a group of about 9 of us and sat in the garden. It was a lovely hot day and umbrellas were there if you needed them. Staff were very friendly and helpful 😀 Will definitely be visiting again 😀

Very disappointing meal last night. OK restricted menu but it was awful food. Poor quality and what you would expect from a burger van. Wont be going again.

Beautiful pub by the canal lots of seating in a wonderful setting ...delicious food ! Amazing family of swans who come to say hello and are rewarded with special swan food by us, never want to leave tbh . Bar staff are very welcoming.

A popular pub with a large outside garden facing the Grand Union canal made thus an good place for a drink Lots of tables outside to enjoy the sun Visited on a Saturday lunchtime and quite a few people were enjoying their take away cooked lunch and a beer. The inside of the pub was nicely arranged but at the moment in Mid July 2020 not able to enjoy Nice selection of beers at good price Open 12-8pm

Jane and the team have pulled out all the stops here to ensure that both customers and staff remain as safe as possible.Signing in for Covid track and trace, one way system around the pub, staff were wearing visors. Tables set at safe distances. From the moment we arrived we felt safe straight away and was happy to have a drink here and will be returning!

We came here to get away from Brum, as I used to come here 50 years ago. We were rather anxious about coming out after being locked down, but the team had everything so well organised that we immediately felt happy, and had a lovely lunch. Thank you all once again for reminding us what normality used to be like

we had a delicious christmas meal with friends. the staff are very friendly. the christmas decorations are wonderful. it is a pleasure for adults and children to admire their extensive yearly display.a lot of work goes into it.well done to all the staff,

It is a good restaurant with friendly staff and good quality food. Very homely and great decorations. Would go again.

This pub is so worth a visit in DecemberThey have the best Christmas display in England and obviously have spent hours and weeks transforming the placeTake your childrenTake your parentsTake your grown upsYou'll be amazed at the transformation and its magical.... Truly The staff are really friendly and they serve a great meal tooNote winter opening hours apply so ring if you aren't sure!

Pulled up on our canal boat on a holiday and moored up. Walked through the garden where there was a nice seating area with a "doggy bar". As such, was very surprised when entering to find a sign on the door saying no dogs. Asked the guy on the bar where we could sit with the dogs and was told we could sit in the hall. Very uninviting. Left to find somewhere truly dog friendly. Very surprising for a country pub and canal side. Would definitely advise avoiding

Would definitely recommend their sunday roast beef dinner. The beef was really tasty and soft, and plenty of it, nice selection of veg and everything was cooked well and served nice and hot.

Lovely surroundings canal side country pub not a lot of people dining when we were there in mid week

We went to the blue lias for a second try as had a bad experience the first time with food below average but they weren’t even serving this time , so we found the next nearest place which was the boat inn . we had lovely food and really lovely day so thank you to the blue lias for not having food on otherwise we wouldn’t of found that other hidden gem the boat inn which is about half mile away and also on the canal , better parking , better customer service , better food . Sorry blue lias but you had your chances

クルーズ中に寄ったパブのひとつ。運河沿いには、素敵なパブが多いですね。地元のリアルエールを堪能できたのは、今でも最高の思い出です。

Having visited this public house on more than one occasion, we have found that the menu is basic, limited and items are not always available. Lovely location but could do a lot better.

Was on my way home after a 'Day Out' and thought I would round off the day with a meal at the Blue Lias. Arrived at 17.40 to be told the Kitchen was closed so no food was being served until later. There is nothing on their website or menu to indicate what time food is actually served so it would be advisable to 'phone before you visit.

Took some friends from Wales loved the location by the canal side sat outside for a while then inside interesting building

Recently stayed at the caravan site attached to the blue lias for 4 days . What a excellent site, well kept and maintained in lovely surroundings & great for walks along the canal . Also this is a adults only site so fantastic for a child free time in our caravan or motorhome. Our only disappointment was the meal we actually had at the pub on the sunday night , again pub is lovely in great setting but there food let them down .. this will not deter us using the site again thou

This pub has the best floral display of any I have ever seen in the UK. In addition to being a pub/restaurant, it appears to be a large group venue as well. There is plenty of parking and ample canal side seating just below the bottom lock of the Stockton flight.

Beautiful pub..great scenery by canal side..food is lovely and good prices too.i go here often in the winter tje pub looks amazing with all the Christmas Dec's..its a must see

Although this site looks beaitiful and is immaculately kept, i don't recommend it to anyone. It is next to a busy dry dock which strikes up at 6am banging metal against metak, sawing metal, and the constant bleep of reversing vehicles. To add insult to injury, it is on Birmingham airport flight path.

Booked for a 2 night stay on the touring pitches and I was amazed how much space each touring pitch gets. Lovely scenery and a very quiet campsite.

VIsited here tonight real friendly CANAL SIDE English PUB.Vistied loads of CANAL SIDE pubs over the summer but this is by far the best .The staff are so helpful the loos are spotless and the outside tables clean .now the flowers are stunning a lot of hard work has plainly gone into them.Me and the wifey took a walk round the camping site and its spotless to as well as the loos and showers.A real nice place to be .We will be on the field soon in our motor home .You can't go wrong here

Lunched here today. What a wonderful location, lovely decor indoors and picture perfect outdoor space. But we were so disappointed with the food. We paid £11 for 2 ham baguettes, expecting nice crusty french-style bread with enough salad on the side to add to the baguettes. What we got was dry soft rolls, with a bit of margarine spread and a few slices of cheap ham literally shoved inside. They looked and tasted completely unappetising. Oh, and the salad was 1 slice of cucumber, a tiny piece of tomato and a few shreds of iceberg lettuce. We would have added this pub to our list of regular lunch dates for the venue, but won't be going back unless the lunch menu is upgraded

Such a lovely little pub. It’s typical ‘microwave style’ pub food, like all places I know that are reasonably priced. Lovely staff always cheery and polite.

Lack of Gluten free meals especially if you can't have spicy food, items asked for were not available so had to settle for ham egg & chips also was not given refund on original order so cost me £9.99 expensive for this item. The other members of my party had Steak pie & chips but were not impressed. The wait at the bar for food & drink was also long and frustrating.

The setting of the pub is absolutely beautiful but the menu is limited although the food we had was good.

Visited with wife a and two grandchildren. Kids had chicken nuggets, chips and beans and fish cakes, chips and beans. Clean plates from bothe of those. Mrs had Steak and Ale pie. Impressive amount of filling in the pie. Very tasty. Slight taste of peppers, which the Mrs hates, and repeated on her. I had the beef, Sunday roast. Disappointing. £8.95 for a small portion of over-cooked, dry but falling apart beef. Suspect it was microwaved in gravy as ordered. Lone floret each of cauliflower and broccoli. Carrot batons, peas, two scoops of mash, two descents roasted and an anemic frozen Yorkshire pudding. All awash with a thin gravy. They need to up their game with the roasts. There is better Sunday roast fare at several pubs in the vicinity. Not asking for The Huntsman Carvery standard, just a bit more passion for the dishes served up for a premium priced pub roast. Staff were welcoming and friendly enough.

Called in here for an evening drink by the canal, the floral displays are absolutely stunning, best Ive seen in the area, you cant fault the outside areas, the grass is cut nicely and everything well maintained, also the canal is a bonus. All beautifully kept. The pub itself is a traditional, if slightly dated, but cosy pub, its not a gastro pub, its good honest pub grub, drinks nothing special, but it is what it is, prices are good and staff were nice. My only criticism the car park is full of pot holes and there was one patch of dead plants and a dead conifer outside the kitchens that just let it down. Definitely coming back for an evening meal sitting by the canal.

Beautifully stunning flower displays. END OF POSITIVES.

The Blue Lias is a beautiful canal side pub who's owners clearly understand the meaning of a seasonal establishment. The hanging baskets and lawn are the best they could possibly be for a public area, I can imagine a great deal of work goes on to these.

The blue lias is an okay pub. It's not going to win awards, it's not going to wow you. What it will do is server you a cold beer, decentish food and give you somewhere to relax (mostly). I'll call in here if I'm passing but I'd never head here specifically for an outing. It's okay but it's just nothing to write home about.

Stopped here on a sunny evening for a drink by the canal & decided to eat as well. Standard pub menu, nothing too fancy but a reasonable choice of hot & cold food.

Turned up to campsite at 20:30 hrs.

The owner and staff were very efficient and helpful. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. It is the third time I have eaten here over the last four years and would be happy to go again.

A stunning location on the canal and close to a small reservoir - it is just lovely and very popular for lunches outside in nice weather. Sadly, the food is very dated and is simply not as good as other pubs in the region. For example, fish and chips in most restaurant pubs has been updated to meet 2019 expectations - crispy batter, triple cooked chips, lashings of mushy or fresh peas with fresh lemon or lime. Here their version is a mediocre breaded plaice with frozen chips and value peas - looking very 1970’s. It was fine, but not great - and the salad that was ordered with it was just as ‘okay’. It’s a shame because it has the potential to be fabulous. We will go back again for sure, but won’t get too excited about the food.

Lovely caravan and motorhome site situated next to the canal. Plenty of room on the site and pitches well spaced out with electric hook ups. Showers and toilets were very clean. Did not appear to be heated so room was a little cold.

Stayed here for 3 nights in our motorhome, was only going to be 1,but was so nice, lovely kept site by Canal with ponds around, lovely shower and toilet block, friendly staff. Nice pub with good meals. Will definitely be back.

We went here for lunch it had been recommended to me.. A great pub with a fabulous setting on the canal. The food was excellent. A bit basic but great for lunch. The price of the meals and drinks were very reasonable.The steak pie I chose was delicious. We will definitely go again.

The three of us arrived at 19.53 and the couple in front of us were already being told the kitchen had shut for the evening. We've used the canal that this pub sits on a number of previous times. The food may well be good (I don't know as we didn't get to eat there), however, next time I'll naturally carry on down to the next pub to eat (which is what we ended up doing this night) as I can see no reason why I should patronise an establishment where the chef decides they won't cook anymore meals that evening. I heard someone make a remark that's it's the chef that runs a pub, it was certainly the case that night as they lost 5 customers!

Having taken a pleasant walk along the canal we stopped at the Blue Lias. We decided to have a light lunch. I have to say that this was awful. Tuna baguette, smothered with cheap margarine. Salad consisted of a bit of lettuce, one slice of cucumber and a quarter of a tomato. No dressing. I had mushroom soup. Heinz tinned without a doubt which is great at home but definitely a joke when paying pub prices. Brie bites, deep fried, not good and definitely not worth the money. If I get a reply to this I will stand my ground to naff food, overpriced and rubbish quality.

Don't normally do site reviews but I think this time I need to, booked two pitches here for the Easter bank holiday.

It's taken me a while to write this review - I wasn't going to initially but finally decided I should. My family was visiting from abroad last summer and whilst my husband and I had never been to the Blue Lias I thought it would be a nice, casual place along the canal and we wanted to stay local. It is a very nice location but horrible food. I didn't realise until after we'd left when I was asking everyone how they liked it that my sisters meal was still cold/semi frozen in the middle (she didn't want to tell me in the pub for fear of hurting my feelings as I was really excited to take my family here). My meal was passable, but didn't blow me away and my husband was not thrilled with his meal either. The kids didn't complain. All in all for 5 people it cost over £100 plus drinks and it was SO not worth it and we haven't recommended this place or been back since.

Do not eat here poor quality the prawns were overcooked and served with a lot of lettuce just chopped no dressing. The steak pie was OK but too much pastry for me.

Lovely country pub, very cosy and welcoming, friendly happy staff and always super tasty food. Well worth a visit, especially on a sunny day so you can sit and watch the barges go by.

Greeted at the bar by an extremely rude man who turned out to be the manager. Unhelpful, abrupt, couldn’t quite believe how rude he was.

During the summer months this pub is a wonderful place to head to. Walk along the canal before turning around after a few miles and sit by water drinking on a nice cold one. In the winter months the fires are on and its very cosy inside. The food is basic and the bar waiting area is small which keeps the place from getting very busy, however when you get caught in a long queue wait to hear the disgruntled noises from people waiting to order haha. The service is slow! Be warned! Apart from that it's a very idyllic spot.

The pub is a must at Christmas time, as they go to so much effort in decorating it. It’s Beautiful.

Just popped in for a quick pint. The xmas decorations were up, absolutely fantastic. Really friendly atmosphere, made a Wednesday lunch time special. Many thanks.

We stayed for a second weekend recently having just purchased a caravan and wanting somewhere local to have a try out. The campsite is lovely. Both times pitched by canal with electric hook up. Site is adult only, another bonus. Showers and toilets are clean and shower runs for long time before having to push button a second time. Site has two ponds for fishing and Stockton reservoir next door. Only gripe is the Blue Lias pub doesn't accommodate dogs. It is canal side with both boats with dogs and lots of caravans on their own site also with dogs. There are at least three areas in the pub which they could have one area for well behaved dogs. I am sure they lose trade to the three other pubs within walking distance that are happy for dogs to come in. We ate out elsewhere as we couldn't go to the Blue Lias where we would have done if dog friendly.

We have eaten here several times before and have been satisfied. However today was disappointing. Food was very average and peas were cold. When the bar tender asked if everything ok I said I'd had better meals here in the past. Told him peas were cold. "Ok" was his only response as he took our money.

We visited the Blue Lias today with a large party of people. They were able to find us a corner of the bar where we wouldn’t disturb other clients. The food was good and varied and there plenty of choice. The service was efficient and friendly. It was everything we could have wanted from a country pub. The situation at the side of the canal was perfect for a walk before we ate.

Called here on a canal walk, too cold to sit outside & accompanied by our dog, we enquired if we could sit in the bar with the dog. The response was "you can sit at the table in the porch" On checking we found the table offered was literally the reception porch where all the doors led off - we would have been eating outside the toilets! Not wishing to be treated like outcasts we moved on to a neighbouring pub, where we had a very nice meal & our dog was welcomed in.

The Blue Lias is a lovely inn located next to the canal. The menu is varied but... this is where the fun started! The starters were excellent; after careful consideration and looking at the specials board two of the party decided on gammon steak with pineapple. But it wasn't available! It was explained that the meat order comes in on Thursdays ... it was Thursday! I ordered Chicken Kiev as a replacement - lovely big juicy chicken breast - minus the Kiev! We then ordered dessert - Chocolate Honeycomb cheesecake mmm - not available! It had been put into the freezer! Ice cream sundae - choice of 3 ice creams, but none that I really liked - no vanilla! But suddenly the Chocolate Honeycomb Cheesecake became available! So two of us had that! And it was delicious. The waiter was very patient with us and good humoured.

Was recommended this nice, very nice, however must have come at a busy time as the queue for the bar/food ordering took nearly 20mins! Would come again, but maybe a quieter day!

A random visit to the Blue Lias today ended the day well from our trip to the Cotswolds. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. We ordered from the specials board. Cottage Pie was brilliant. The only thing I would say that there isn’t a massive selection of food however, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Would recommend to anyone.

The drinks were very reasonably priced, and the pork tenderloin, chips, salad and peas arrived quickly, was tasty and hot. The pub has a friendly atmosphere inside and out. After a cup of coffee, which was brought over to us, we enjoyed the amazing display of baskets, and tubs of flowers surrounding the pub, while enjoying the canal boats going past.

We stayed on the Blue Lias camp site for the weekend. The attached pub was very friendly, accommodating and had a great menu. The food was excellent and the atmosphere homey. I would highly recommend a visit.

Went on a lovely summers afternoon, sat by canal really good service. King prawns were excellent and Plaice just cooked to perfection. Good selection of drinks cannot fault it.

Stopped here for lunch whilst on a boating holiday. Had a great meal in a fabulous location watching the boats go by.

Ate here several times during our week long stay just out of Long Itchington. Called in for a drink one afternoon and it was a beautiful sunny day, relaxed by the canal with a few beers the time just flew. Came back the following day for dinner and was not disappointed with the choice, not huge but adequate, even a specials board. You order at the bar and they bring it to you either inside or out. Great setting.

Moored outside, as there is space for at least 3 narrow boats. The menu is not too extensive, and there were three specials too. All were available. You order at the bar, and meal is brought to your table. A good selection of drought ales were also available. I would have liked to have seen a lighter beer, as all were over 4.5%. However, a very good meal. I particularly enjoyed the cheesecake.

The most beautiful pub, all the flowers looked amazing.

Stayed in our motorhome at the Blue Lias campsite for four nights on a pitch overlooking the Grand Union canal. The pub had probably the best display of hanging baskets I have ever seen, the site was immaculate with its own small fishing lake in the centre. We arrived on Sunday and left on Thursday so missed the weekend which apparently are full up! The toilet and shower block are very clean and you need the security code to enter, the owner drives around the site daily to check all is well with campers. We were glad we arrived with a full tank of water as the tap by the pub entrance would have been difficult to reach due to cars parked, the campsite tap again with pitches being occupied. Pay on arrival at the bar, we arrived at noon and there was already a queue for Sunday lunches which is always a good sign, the food looked delicious! We ate at the pub twice during our stay, the brie and bacon fishcakes were large and tasty, chips were very hot and salad very fresh, very good value for £7.95. The second time we had pork in a lovely mushroom sauce, again delicious for £9.95. It's lovely to sit outside and watch the world go by but we did wait until 8pm as it was so very hot. Looking forward to visiting again both for the campsite and food!

Wonderful canal side location with plenty of seating.

Lovely pub to sit outside Being charged nearly £2 for a flat lime and soda was very overpriced Food has never been great, quite old fashioned menu and £10 for a salad was way too much

Loved sitting outside by the canal on a lovely sunny afternoon. Portions weren't huge but we all enjoyed the cottage pie, chicken in wine sauce,pork, and fishcakes. They were all just under a tenner. Good dessert menu at 4.25. Beers were on and nice white wine. Staff were all very young but good service. Will come back again.

Visiting a family member nearby we were recommended this venue for lunch. We arrived just in time as the kitchen was due to close but fortunately the staff were able to accommodate us if we ordered immediately. My first choice wasn’t available so we both chose the steak. The weather was glorious and you can’t visit this place without taking advantage of their outdoor seating area. We managed to get a spot right by the cannel which was lovely. I could have sat here all day watching the world go by. The meal itself was average, the steak was brilliantly cooked and for once when I asked for it to be cooked medium, it was cooked medium. The chips on the other hand were over cooked and hard. I must admit I fed most of them to the ducks, so at least they were fed well on the day. Would I go out of my way to go again? No...the location is the selling point to this establishment.

Three of us were looking for a pleasant place to enjoy a drink or two on a sunny afternoon, and thought of this pub.

Great location, but pub and garden are a bit of a tip. Beer pretty grim; I couldn’t finish my pint. Menu like something from the 1970s.

Stopped here when on a canal holiday , able to moor right outside , getting some shade from the trees,

Took a friend for lunch on Monday we sat by the Canal and ordered lunch ; How very disappointing the Scampi and Chips were straight from the freezer and the salad consisted of lettuce and thinly cut tomatoe ; Prawn cocktail was just has exciting, such a shame has they know the venue is attractive , if they just up the game in the kitchen , then this place would be amazing

this is a lovely site but the food in the pub really let's it down..... chips chips with everything. go down to the 2 boats about 10 minute walk and you won't be disappointed

What a lovely picturesque place to fish and relax. Last Saturday afternoon/early evening my husband and father in law decided to go for a few peacefull hours of fishing. Both very busy people and needed a well earned break from work. I along with my mum in law and children joined them a little later with a lovely picnic. I really was a nice spot and very picturesque. Definitely come back and maybe even camp for the weekend as this is available along with a lovely restaurant which we have eaten at previous visit.

If it wasn't for the location of this place it would of recived a terrible rating.

My partner and I visited this camping site as a first time camper, and we are blown away with the overall standards, the service, the food and the whole ambience of the site.

Beautiful location on the bank of the grand union canal.

Wonderful place to be in fine weather, great canalside outside seating. Very good choice of ales (Abbot, Tribute) and reasonable food. Will be going back

First time I’ve been back here in a while and this time was with friends, the wait for food was longer then usual but that was to be expected as it was a lovely day, only negative was the fact the party of 3 of us ordered on the same table number but even though I ordered first my food came last as their was a mix up with the order, would return though

We had a fabulous meal, the waitress Nicky was amazing and couldn't have been any more attentive she really was the star of the show! We look forward to returning and seeing Nicky again!

This is a typical country pub. It is not luxury and not fancy. On Sunday we had a roast dinner, it was the sort of thing that you'd make at home - it was really well cooked (so maybe not quite like I'd make at home!)... the meat was lovely; there were 4 different veg + yorkshire & good gravy.

Enjoyed roast lamb with all the trimmings and some very goog Cornish ale. They kept jus waiting for about an hour before serving us, but that made the food all the more welcome!
