What a joke!!! Arrived at 3.45pm to be told they wasn't serving food outside as only one chef in. Not a problem. Went to the bar at 4.55pm to be told stopped serving food at 5pm by the useless articles behind the bar. No sign of this anywhere or even told by the manager who we'd spoken to when we arrived but happy enough to take money for our beer. A place we've been to for many years and definitely will not be revisiting.

A nice atmosphere especially sitting in the sun outside. Good to see the outside structure still there which I built about 20 years ago. It won't be another 20 until we return. Lots of nice people enjoying the ambience.

Our second visit to this lovely pub. Super friendly to the dogs..including dog biscuits. Everyone, staff and customers, stopped to give them a fuss. The usual drinks menu and nice food on offer. The standard pub restaurant options plus a few different options I've not had elsewhere. Only marked a star off as one of the meals was bought out a little while after the others & we had to ask where it was rather than been told there was a slight delay. Another was missing an item from the plate but it turned out that they had misheard and had substituted for something else. When settling the bill this was removed without having to ask. None of this would prevent us from returning as the rest of the visit was lovely.

Had lunch here today with my mum and dad and daughter. The lunch menu is a bargain and is a good sized portion for lunch. My garlic chicken wrap was very tasty and well filled with chicken and salad. The 5 oz gammon was cooked to perfection and the fish and chips were tasty too. Not feeling like a big dessert we were going to have Mini dessert and hot drink. This was not on the menu due to restricted menu due to staff shortages, however, shoutout to India who made us a mini cheesecake and mini crumble herself. My dad was in his element drinking Black Sheep Bitter. Above and beyond with customer service. Can't wait to visit again.

Food was great, service was friendly but really slow, maybe we hit it at a bad time. After our food order came out about 5 more orders came out all at once, so maybe the cook just got back from lunch lol. Overall, good ambience, food was great, nice beer garden and outside seating along the canal.

Has a deal of £10 for a small lunch and a pint - great value. Service is good, could pay a little more attention to the non-regular paying customers. Atmosphere inside is a little flat, although I can’t say I’ve ever been in the pub when it’s been really busy.

The old boat house is an excellent little pub settled in canal bank. Perfect for a drink after a walk. Beer garden/ canal side seating is great in the sun, but also in the milder weather due to the out door heaters. This is definitely a new favourite. Neck oil £6.10.

Very sorry to rate this so low , it was recommended for Sunday lunch by family and friends , we had Sunday lunch but we were very disappointed, we don’t eat out often and so was looking forward to this , the beef was far too overcooked roast potatoes were soft , was hoping for crispy, veg wasn’t great , and gravy was very bland ,,, to be honest the whole meal was bland , the surcharge was £8 on a £57 bill , we paid it but won’t be going back for food,,, ashame really because it’s a nice pub

Went with friends at the weekend for a meal. Service was good but food left a lot to be desired for the price. One meal of steak pie was inedible as the pastry was rock hard. Management apologised but didn’t offer a replacement or discount. I had one fish cake small salad and a child’s portion of chips. My other friend had the chicken tikka which was ok. Only soft drinks and felt ripped off when the bill came to £75

A real asset to the Boathouse. She looked after us really well and ensured we had a great Sunday roast. We would recommend to everyone.

Been today with my wife, mum, sister in law n nieces.. Had the fish and chips and pint meal deal.. What I was expecting and what I got were too different things.. I was expecting an actual portion of fish and chips.. I wasn't expecting a slither of fish, handful of chips and tea spoon full of peas on a saucer.. Plus I couldn't have the beer I wanted as part of the deal.. So not very good really Following up from the owner's response.. Please don't insult me by calling me 'David'.. My name is 'Dave' as it clearly states at the top of the review.. We wasn't explained anything about portion sizes at all

The order was incorrect. The portions were significantly smaller than usual- I have been here many times before. The attitude was appalling by the member of staff when I informed him of the incorrect order and portion size. Customer service was absent on this occasion. Due to his behaviour we left and went to another local eatery, this highlighting the huge difference in customer care and professionalism. Also, your response to this review speaks volumes. I am fully aware of what menu I ordered from. Yes the portions, even for this, were smaller than usual. I am surprised at the lack of acknowledgement and apology for your sarcastic and aggressive attitude/demeanour at the time.

We had a fantastic lunch here, and the great thing was the staff couldn’t do more for my wife who has a gluten intolerance (see burger picture below). I had an amazing venison & bacon pie with mash and seasonal vegetables. They have some Timothy Taylor cask on and I had a pint of Boltmaker with my lunch. I finished it off with some Sticky Toffee pudding which was one of the best I’ve had for a long time. I highly recommend this little pub on the canal. They have a large outdoor area which is amazing in the summer. It’s always a great reward after a nice walk down the canal.

They didn't move glasses until we where going. £8.95 for 6 prawns and a bit of wilted lettuce. So called prawn cocktail. The prices they charge is disgraceful. Never again. Spent £231.

This place is known for exploiting young workers for free labour and labelling it as a “work trial”. However, they do this with multiple people and make them do multiple “work trials” for simple duties that obviously do not require repeat stages of proof of competency.

Visited Friday lunch. It is a stone built pub, mild outside but was cold inside. Fairly extensive menu with good choices. One fish pie and one minted lamb pie. Bit of a wait but the meals were hot, well cooked and tasty. Good pint of cask beer. Go to pay, bill was £36.40 so offered two twenty pound notes. I was then asked if I wanted the change, yes I do was the answer. What cheek, lost a tip there.
