Only one option for vegetarian on the main menu. Food was ok, although my friend wasn't impressed with their food (a bit dry). People were very nice but the service seemed a bit disjointed, almost like it was uni students back for Christmas and it was their first day working. Nice setting to take someone for lunch / dinner though.

Fortunate to have this as my local as the food is exceptional. The roast dinner is particularly special. Have tried their new menu the last couple of visits. Last night I had the bruschetta with creamy mushroom followed by Seabass which was splendid. I can always can count on the Lockeepers for excellent food, atmosphere and good service. I like that the chef is attentive and checks people are happy. I believe this is truly 5 star.

Would like to say a big thank you to all the front of house staff and a big shout out to our server Alfie. The service throughout our visit was wonderful, very kind and knowledgeable on what the pub had to offer. We had the pleasure of eating at the lock keeper for their Sunday roasts and puddings. The food was very flavourful, fresh and well presented and all ten of us didn't have a bad comment to say about the food. We each had a roast (pork, chicken, beef), the pub was also able to accomodate for a vegetarian roast option and a range of different desserts. The pub was very accommodating to our group as we had emailed to book our table and the communication was quick and easy and any questions we had asked were answered. When we arrived we had two dogs and they had prepared a table for us knowing this which was situated in a warm cosy area but leaving enough distance from any other tables so we weren't disturbing them. The only critique we all said was it was a shame to see the manager have stern words with the staff at a loud enough volume that we could all hear, especially as it was feedback about the service to our table. Which once again I would like to highlight was brilliant!

An Absolutely Marvelous Experience! I recently had the pleasure of visiting this pub with my family, and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and the warm, friendly staff made us feel right at home. The food? It was simply divine—seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection, with garnishes that added a beautiful finishing touch to every dish. Each bite felt like a treat! What I loved even more was the ambience, both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor seating, right by the canal and river, was serene and picturesque. My children were absolutely enchanted by all the plants, flowers, and insects. My daughter especially loved the lovely little decorations around the plants, which made her day even more special. This was, without a doubt, one of the most marvelous experiences I’ve ever had. While it might not be an everyday indulgence, it’s the perfect spot for celebrating special moments. Whether it’s to treat yourself or to reward family and friends, this is the place to go for an unforgettable time!

Really lovely and dog friendly place to stop for lunch. We were driving to Wales and found the Lock Keeper’s as a place to stop with the dogs. Fish and chips were delicious, homemade Victoria sponge cake really good as well and the dogs loved their treats! Staff were very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the view sitting on the patio looking over the canal. Would recommend.

We used to eat (mainly Sunday lunch) regularly here until service became quite bad. Saw recent reviews majority of them excellent so decided to bite the bullet and try once more. Not a good decision 😕. Pleasant staff greeted us and we were promptly sat down at our table. That was it, although there were approx 6 staff, they mostly stood around. We were left for 20-25 mins and one of us had to go to bar and ask if we could order. We all had roast beef. The beef was thickly cut and very dry and overcooked unlike the broccoli 🥦 could not even cut it let alone try to eat it The saving grace were the deserts, delicious and very generous portions. We will not be going back and will not be recommending to friends.

Absolutely incredible place for food and drinks! We have had plenty of meals here, most recently being the roast dinner and it blew us away! I’m usually not a fan of having a roast dinner out as I feel it’s hard to beat a proper home made roast dinner, however the Lock Keepers roast dinner is totally up there with the best of all home made roast dinners! Absolute quality and we will be back for sure! The setting is so beautiful too and the most warm and welcoming service! We love the lock keepers! ✨🥂

Avoid!!! Booked Sunday lunch had the booking confirmation too via email. Arrived for lunch to be told there is no space and they couldn’t make space for us as they pre-prepare their portions based on bookings and some how our booking is no longer showing! Really disappointed. To make matters worse after being told they are fully booked for the whole afternoon so couldn’t squeeze us in, I checked online and had the option to book for in an hours time to be told this wouldn’t be honoured. Clearly a case of tables going over their allocated time and inexperienced staff and management unable to manage this. Edit in response to comments: I’m really not a negative person quite the opposite in fact, this comment speaks volumes about your poor commitment to customer service. To clarify, there was no effort to fit us in, your exact comment was “All portions are allocated and based on the pre- bookings” and therefore we could not eat in the garden or be squeezed in as there was not enough for us.

4 friends, 2 couples visiting for the first time. Driven past the turning many times over the last 5+ years and always wanted to try it. I wasn't disappointed. Limited menu, which is a good thing. Calarami to start which was superb, fish chips and mushy peas to follow. Chips were outstanding,.peas good and fish OK, but the batter was slightly tough, however the fish itself was good.. Others had chicken, salmon and steak which they were happy with. No room for desert. Friendly, smiling and efficient staff and lovely setting sitting outside. Inch's draft cider was very well kept and went down very well. The venue was a little quiet, which was a shame as it's a great spot with good food and great service. We will be back.

First time diners at The Lock Keepers as we had heard that it is under new management. Initial observation, no problems parking great start (free parking, unlike The Quays). Smaller menu, perhaps 7 or 8 mains choices which I prefer by far as it means the meals are more likely to be fresh ingredients and freshly prepared. Three of our party had the salmon and it was delicious. The salmon was accompanied by potatoes, green beans, mussels and a perfect beurre blanc. The meal was perfectly seasoned. First impression is that this a little hidden gem. We’ve booked again for Sunday lunch!

Very disappointing, a disaster! We had had a recommendation for a good Sunday Lunch here and having read reviews went ahead and booked for my Father In Law’s birthday and were very much looking forward to it. On arrival, we were seated and given menus only to be told ten minutes later that there was no beef or pork, the only two options for a roast, leaving us with a salmon and vegetarian dish only as alternatives, neither of which anyone in our party would have ordered. I appreciate it can be difficult to judge but we had make a booking, it was not busy and I had also put a note in the booking about the celebration and also called on the day only an hour or so prior arrival and nothing was said. Really not acceptable on any Sunday but especially when booked for a special occasion which they were aware of. We found ourselves in the car park trying to rescue the situation calling around for a last minute alternative. The website advises Sunday Lunch is until 5pm, obviously this is not guaranteed so book with caution, you may not be catered for. Really disappointing and bad management I’m afraid.

We walked across Alney Island from Gloucester on a cool grey day to The Lock Keepers at Over where we received a warm welcome. Mussels, loaded chips, steak ciabatta, salmon, and burger were all excellent, served by friendly staff in a pleasantly buzzing ambience. Local ales and cider are on draught, and there is a good bus service (22, 23, 24) to and from Gloucester if you wish to avoid walking or driving. The adjoining Canal Basin walk (less than a mile, flat) is worth a visit. We highly recommend the Lock Keepers, but before visiting check opening times on their web.

Food was good but our evening was sadly spoiled with a screeching hen party group. It was clear that other patrons were also being annoyed with the risiculous noise levels but the staff didn't challenge the group or ask them to quieten their voices.

This is the best Sunday lunch i have eaten in a pub/restaurant. Booked for 2 at 3pm and the quality and taste was second to none. I had the beef which was tender and fell apart but not stringy and my husband had loin of pork and crackling which he said was moist and tender. Both came with home made Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, red cabbage, roast carrots and parsnips and broccoli. All cooked to perfection and a great change to mushy veg that you quite often receive with a roast dinner. The gravy is to die for, dark and rich in taste and quite happy to provide more if needed. We went for cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets as extras which dont disappoint, the sausages are large butchers chipolates with quality bacon. Apple sauce and homemade horseradish sauce were available at request. I had no room for dessert but my husband had apple crumble which I just had to try, the apples were caramelised and the homemade crumble was delicious. The wine is very reasonably priced, £15 for a very nice pinot grigio. This restaurant is a hidden gem, the staff are friendly and accommodating, the chef amazing and a beautiful location and surroundings. I love this place and will definitely be coming back again.

The title says it all. I’d heard good things about The Lockkeeper’s but didn’t expect it to be quite as fantastic as it was. We were the last table of the day (we had pre-booked, knowing they’d be fully booked in advance) but the staff still went above and beyond to offer us extras even though they probably wanted us gone so they could finish! The beef was cooked perfectly, still pink, and was a thick prime cut. I’m gluten free so couldn’t have one of their huge homemade Yorkshires but I didn’t feel I’d missed out (they said they’d tried to make GF ones many times but just couldn’t get them to the standard they wanted, which is fair, and better to admit than to serve up a frozen supermarket one!). The side of cauliflower cheese was big enough for 3 of us to share and the veg was great - tenderstem etc, not just regular mixed veg as some pubs do. Perfect roasties too,.. I couldn’t fault a thing. They were so accommodating and I liked how knowledgable they were about gluten free, and how practically everything could be easily made GF with no fuss. Can’t wait to come back!

We came for a large Christmas booking and unfortunately it took over an hour for our starters to come out and then gone 9pm for our dinner to arrive. All the food was pre-ordered beforehand and unfortunately some parts of each option tasted quite salty, with a scarcity of vegetables for the mains, and not in proportion to others having the same dish.

I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been very good however the Sunday dinner is a must! It’s honestly the best roast I’ve had, all veg is seasoned and the meat falls apart in the mouth ( I went for braised beef) the potatoes are so crispy but fluffy inside and the gravy is made the French way - so rich and flavourful. Wow! I’ll be back!

Absolutely appalled at how badly run this place is! I booked weeks in advance to secure a table for family as it was my husbands birthday, and happily provided a pre order over a week in advance. However there was nothing but issues, poor communication from the start meant our order wasn’t dealt with properly, they had to call me the morning of our booking to ask me to send through the whole pre order again! We arrived for Sunday lunch which was booked at 1.30pm, and didn’t receive our meal until 3.30pm despite asking several times, and people coming in later than us and still getting their meals before us, what is the point of pre ordering?! The food also took 30 minutes from the first dish being brought out to everyone getting their meal, and they had forgotten one who was then told they’d run out of the roast beef so had to settle with pork (even though we pre ordered!). The food itself was lovely, and the staff were so embarrassed at the waiting times, apparently this is a reoccurring thing every Sunday due to poor management!! They only had one chef for the whole restaurant all day, one pot wash, and 3 bartenders / waiters. Due to the 2 hour wait for food, this meant we had to change plans for later on in the day, we will not be returning!

This was the worst meal we have ever had, the staff need training, we arrived and was sent to table which was booked, we were then left for about 10 mins before anyone came to see if we wanted a drink, we were then left again after receiving drinks before they came to take our orders, my son in law and I ordered a prawn cocktail, when it finally arrived after more than half hour, it wasn’t that busy, we could not believe what we were served, we had a few prawns on 3 pieces of lettuce, how they can call that a prawn cocktail is beyond me, when Sunday lunch finally arrived, 3 of us had the roast beef which was 1 slice the thickness of a small steak, unfortunately I only had half a piece, the roast potatoes tasted stale as if they had been cooked and left to go cold, we don’t know what the veg was, only cauliflower cheese which we ordered separately. I did complain and was told they were taking 15% off bill which was a complete insult. The chef came to our table and apologised,he said they had 40 other diners and no one complained, I don’t usually complain but could not let this go .

A lovely tucked away spot that was ideal for a family meal before heading down the river to watch the bore. (The wave, I hasten to add, not me, for anyone who’s encountered a review of mine before!). Ham egg and chips, loaded fries, kids fish and chips and the best presented kids sausage and mash I’ve ever seen were all absolute treat. A couple of very reasonably priced ice creams for the kids afterwards and we all left very satisfied having enjoyed friendly, attentive service and the option of whatever atmosphere you wish for: a small area with low chairs and coffee tables next to the bar with the big telly, tucked around the side for a more restaurant experience, the best of both worlds with a couple of tables near the bar, or there’s always the decking outside overlooking the water. A delightful, nicely decorated spot well worth a visit.

Stumbled on this lovely place after looking for a pub to have lunch at on a Wednesday afternoon (most other places were closed). Friendly staff, great food & generous portions. Can highly recommend the hot sandwiches (great prices - chicken club ciabatta with chips & coleslaw for £8!) & fish & chips. Would highly recommend.

Decided to try this pub whilst on holiday nearby, booked the day before as read some good reviews. We chose main meals only Ham, egg and chips with salad Chicken burger with fries Lock keeper burger with fries. All were good and staff checked prior to taking our order if any of the party had allergens or intolerances. Pub was quiet but it is midweek and the start of the new school term after a glorious day- think people chose to eat early as a couple of items on the menu sold out.

Delightful spot in beautiful surroundings. Welcoming and helpful staff. Roast pork scrumptious and best mango sorbet ever. Perfect lunch experience.

My partner and I had dinner here last night and it was well worth the visit. The young front of house team did very well, being polite and professional whilst remaining relaxed. The beer was good but I found the choice limited. The food was of exceptional quality and the portion sizes were generous, neither of us finished our meals infact. After dinner coffee was taken in the garden, and to be honest this is the only let down to this venue. The garden does not actually overlook the river. That said though this does not spoil the experience. Would I dine here again? Without hesitation, Yes!

I visited the Lower Lode Inn, for a meet-up with friends. I chose to arrive the day before and stay overnight. What a wonderful evening. The pub is dog friendly, very dog friendly and I met some lovely local doggies. For dinner I ate the ale and steak pie, perfect and the Doombar was also perfect. The room was small with a large double bed, but was perfect for my nights stay. I rarely sleep well when away from home, but the bed enveloped me and I slept all night. After a nice hot shower (toiletries and fluffy towels supplied) I made my way down to a full English breakfast. Perfect (again). I then went for a short walk, settling on a bench by the river Severn. I have the Merlin bird song app on my phone, and switched it on to see what bird life was about. In ten minutes It had picked up 19 different species. Wow! As the morning went on, friends started arriving, some I hadn’t seen for many years. The event was a surprise birthday Sunday lunch for my New Zealand friend. She had no idea and was overwhelmed. We then enjoyed the carvery which was excellent. The Lower Lode Inn was welcoming from the moment I arrived, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and already planning to return. Hopefully to include a bit of fishing next time. Thank you Lower Lode, to Sam and all the team for making myself and my friends so welcome.
