I arranged with Ryan private area to have a around 16/20 friends for a casual birthday gathering. Ryan could not accommodate us more. He put together a lovely area at the back of the pub. We discussed also putting on some sharing boards of cheese, vegetables and meat. They were absolutely delicious and so plentiful, completely reaching above all my expectations. Ryan and staff were very attentive all evening, despite the pub being busy with other customers and food orders. High praise for food and hospitality the Lock keeper gave us. Many thanks Ryan & team.

Great location, would have loved to sit outside, but it was raining. Maybe next time. Food and drinks were very good, two of our group had a rack of ribs (very large and tasty), two had the Cumberland sausage which they also said was very good. I had fish and chips, declined the curry sauce, tartare sauce and mushy peas, got the garden peas instead. Very happy with the haddock and “cooked three times chips”! Out waiter was awesome, never raised an eyebrow at my restructured order. His name is Guy, awesome, friendly with a great smile! Definitely an asset to the Lock Keeper! We were just passing through Keynsham, visiting family, but I’m sure they will be back, as will we on our next visit.

Sadly I had roast dinner here the other Sunday. I was so excited as I saw the beef look great. I had a child portion as unfortunately the girl suggested I don't know why as I did want adult one. Anyway the meat was absolutely awful not what I saw before I ordered. They have something separate tiny piece of meat as thin as a piece of sheet , you could see through it all the way to London if you looked! The edges were dry and old. You know even a child wants to enjoy a good beef especialy @£11 per portion! I wish I sent it back. The spuds, veg was fine, just the meat was literally nonexistent. You won't see me here again.

We booked a meal at the Lock Keeper for my mother’s Funeral Wake, and I have to say the whole experience was excellent. From the initial booking of the table to the final “Last Round” before we left. The hospitality, friendliness and empathy shown in light of the occasion was outstanding. The food was superb, the prices reasonable and befitted the quality of the food and the service was brilliant that led to an overall fantastic experience. Extra mention to Russ who we dealt with from the beginning and looked after us throughout the afternoon. What a great, funny and charming young man he is. Well done all at The Lock Keeper! ❤️

Parking limited so be prepared to park a few hundred yards away, but that’s the only down side with this venue Lola was our waitress and, despite it being her first night for service she knew the menu back to front and was attentive to us the whole time The menu is varied and we had a variety of dishes - fish, meat and salad. All were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious Leave room for dessert - they’re superb!

My family and I were back from Germany recently to visit family members in the UK. We were staying in Bath but, due to close family living in Keynsham, we had the pleasure of visiting your establishment. On that particular day, our son was celebrating his 10th birthday but understandably, was a little under the weather being so far away from his friends in Germany. I spoke to their staff member Zoe and asked if, due to the circumstances, she would be able to do a little something with candles on his dessert or something similar. WOW! is all I can say. She pulled out all the stops and presented his dessert on a plate with a birthday message in chocolate cream sauce, candles, card and a song to boot. The singing encouraged everyone, even the other customers sitting in our corner, to join in. My son was dumbstruck! What a fantastic experience and one I am sure my son will long remember. Your food was excellent, your pub charming, your staff all extremely friendly and helpful but Zoe made the night for us. What a superb establishment you have and I am already looking forward to my next trip back.

Burger then came out cooked through but hard. £17 fir burger that was not worth it and £18 for soggy fish batter! Very disappointed will not be returning again.

Beautiful pub with lovely outdoor area. However the food was extremely overpriced for what it was. We ordered the burgers. There was a burger with a small pot of chips on the plate for £18. The burger had no sauce and was so dry. We also ordered the mac n cheese for my daugher but the cheese wasn't melted on top. Wasn't terrible but not what you expect for those prices. We would definitely drink here again but wouldn't eat.

This was an absolutely fantastic experience in the UK. I’m from Norway and you don’t really get Tartare sauce there, but the sauce here was absolutely OUTSTANDING! Same with the fish and chips. It was maybe some of the best food I’ve tried here in the UK and possibly all of the wide world! 🐟 🍟 The staff were super friendly! Server Caitlyn (Caitlin?) was so nice that she gave me the Tartare sauce recipe and a wonderfull beer glass for my dad. (Paid glass obviously, not free 😆) The mood was absolutely amazing. Just that there were a bit many women there who had gotten a bit much to drink. Honestly it was absolutely great all of it! 🍷 Absolutely good pricing as well! For my parents and my uncle it was probably about 20-40 £ because of their drinks, but I was having fun at the 21 £ mark. Very low prices atleast! I would personally stop by here anytime. And hopefully every time I’m here in the UK on a Canalboat vacation. Love this Pub so much! 😄🍻🇬🇧 All of this was great for a 14 year old! 🥰

We had a lovely Sunday roast. Delicious unusual vegetables (golden beetroot!). I had the veggie celaric roast which was great so flavourful and my partner had the beef which was really well cooked, not dry, it was medium rare and moist with beetroot horse radish! The potatoes weren’t the best but then we were a bit late in the day, eating about 3pm. Nice garden, really helpful friendly welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend.

Great setting & staff were brilliant. But, I’m Coeliac & since it’s under new management the options are very limited. With a few menu tweaks it would be easy to provide a few more options with minimal to no compromise on quality I.e. GF sausages for a start. Do miss the ham or gammon egg & chips too ☹️ That was always available & GF as well. Plus the food was a little pricey.

We ordered the burger at a pricey £17 and it was incredibly disappointing. A chewy, overcooked burger with some basic salad and oven cooked fries. Some of the group were savvy and ordered the kids burger at half the price, and it came out with the same burger, bun and fries, just without the salad! The location is fantastic and the service is pleasant, but don’t waste your time or money on the food.

I firstly want to say the atmosphere is lovely, it's clean, welcoming and beautiful decor. We didn't get into the garden but are coming back for a drink in the garden soon. We had the Sunday roast, I opted for the beef, my partner the pork, I pinched a bit of his and both were delicious! The Yorkshire puddings, the only word for them is YUM! Portions were good, and well worth the price. Very busy and I can see why. All staff were brilliant but I want to give a shout out to Rose (Roseanna), who was a pleasant, polite and friendly waitress. Some places the food can be great and the service ruin it, but at the lock keeper, that is not the case. She always had a smile, but it was real and welcoming. Our first time, and not our last!

Had a sunday lunch. Both ordered belly of pork which i was disappointed to find it was like slow cooker pork, no rind, no colour or sticky caramelisation. Thats just my preference for belly pork. Veg was 3 small roast pots, a small bit of greens and a carrot with a puree underneath. No beets as on menu. Extra roast potatoes were 4 for £6. A bit extortionate. However the pub is beautiful and the staff are excellent. The service is first class and the food was very tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed everything on the plate. Its a shame you have to spend double the price to get extra veg that really should be included as standard

The is the third time I have been to the lockeeper and been disappointed. The vegetable portions are ridiculously small. Last summer my trout meal came with 4 halves of new potato and no other vegetables! Sunday roast was overcooked and didn’t have all the vegetables listed. Then last week I had ox cheek which apparently came with carrots and parsnips. The ONE carrot wasn't even as big as my little finger and it came with two miniscule pieces of parsnip. I am not a greedy eater but that is ridiculous! Vegetables cost very little and at least put enough on the plate so that people don’t go home hungry! I am guessing they want the plate to look all fancy but at those prices £22 for a meal which left me hungry, I won’t be going again.
