Two Boats in Stratford-on-Avon

Really excellent Sunday roast beef! We arrived by canal two hours earlier than booked but were generously welcomed by the friendly staff. Food was fantastic. Well worth a visit!

The location of The Two Boats is stunning, with great views of the canal and wildlife. The lime and soda we had was surprisingly inexpensive and tasty, with no chintzing on the ice. Our meal, though, was rather disappointing. We ordered grilled halloumi ‘burgers’ with chips and cole slaw. The halloumi was a good portion but not grilled nearly enough, and the chips were undercooked too. No cole slaw came with the meal as the menu said. (There were a few slivers of red pepper.) I’d love to return as the walk nearby is gorgeous, so it’s a real shame the same cannot be said about the food at this pub.

Had a lovely meal sitting by the canal. Beautifully cooked, excellent service, Sarah and Rich looked after us well! What a pleasant venue, feeding the ducks and the swan, watching some kids fishing. Idyllic setting! Highly recommended

Absolutely fabulous night at The Two Boats! Sarah and Rich were the most perfect hosts, and the atmosphere and environment were lovely! Beautiful pub in a beautiful village by the canal side - what more could you wish for?! Thank you for a fantastic evening!

Dog friendly pub with welcoming staff and a varied menu. The food was value for money and tasty. On a very hot day it was a delight to sit outside and sup a cold cider with a meal.

really nice stay in huge apartment above pub, great food and drinks, staff are superb too, all so friendly, thank you so much!

We were disappointed with the food that we ordered, it was steak&ale pie which was microwaved and was awful, considering the cost £12.75p i expected better value, shall never eat in there again!

This is the best stop on our week canal holiday Host were wonderful all staff brilliant and friendly The chef excelled and the food was delicious Would highly recommend anyone to stop off and enjoy the hospitality

We called in here by chance when travelling through to Banbury from Leicester. What a delightful find! From the pretty setting on the tow path to the amazing food. As a veggie, this wonderful, unspoilt pub produced quality food we don’t often experience. By way of a challenge, the chef set himself the task of creating one of the hardest dietary specific dishes to make; a vegan, gluten free, raspberry frangipane tart. I tried it-it was stunning! Who knew something that good could be made with such difficult restrictions. The chef and the lady running the bar didn’t stop making sure their customers were well taken care of.

Great food...Great portion size and great food!! Warm and cosy! Lovely staff....kind and attentive. Will be back!

What a superb canal side pub! Incredibly friendly staff, really cosy, warm and welcoming. Really good food which is first rate and reasonably priced. Ignore the gastro pubs and spend some time here. You absolutely won't regret it!

Doing the Warwickshire Ring we stopped here one night. We have been before and decided to go again even though there were a few other locals we hadn't tried before, we enjoyed it last time so why risk another place. Really lovely atmosphere in the restaurant area lies of friendly locals and a buzzing feel. Food is great for three money. 4 of us are for under £60 including drinks. Great portion sizes, seemed fresh and tasty. Left feeling full and glad we went again. Traditional in look so not a modern sleek place but if you want local pub this is the one to go to.

Visited on recommendation and not disappointed, wonderful food and couldn’t resist the Faggots. Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal mixed with herbs and sometimes bread crumbs. It is a traditional dish in the United Kingdom, Friendly staff and a warm welcome, lovely location

A pub which reminds me of canalside dining when I first did it 32 years ago. Boaters and locals happily chatting together, charming and pleasant staff, nothing fancy food or drinkwise, just traditional pub food and drink, but what they do is done really well. We had a home made Lasagne with a surprisingly lovely side salad (often it is literally just for appearances, but this had lots of tasty and crunchy ingredients in a glorious sweet dressing) and gooey cheese topped garlic bread. Amongst other things we had a normal chilli and a vegetarian chilli, both were delicious an enormous rack of ribs and Biscoff cheesecake which put a big smile on my face!!! Bill was smaller than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Fab service on a hot busy day from the lovely girl behind the bar. She works so hard and always with a smile and great care. Our first visit on our narrowboat and we will be back! Delicious food too at amazing prices.

It's a canal side Pub doing solid pub fare. Good portions friendly staff and nice people. Reasonable moorings can become busy at times. Enjoyed ourselves.

Disappointing. After reading reviews I'd expected better than ordinary, unimaginative pub food, but that's all we got. I felt mildly embarrassed that I'd brought friends there. Though I've always liked the place, I shalln't bother to eat there again.

I and the wife went fir a long lovely walk down the lias line footpath.on completing the walk the wife said fancy a drink on the way home do you know anywhere near.i suggested the two boats at long itchington.well we were absolutely amazed we had the myself the gammon with chips and peas with two fried eggs it was fantastic.the wife had lasagne with salad.again delicious also a few drinks to help with the thirst. It was very cheap and first class food if your passing pop in and try for yourself 100% top notch enjoy.

The best fish I’ve had in such a long time.It was fresh,tasty and great value for the money.The staff are lovely especially Emma!And welcoming and even the chef comes to talk to you.Great little pub and lovely atmosphere.

Great pub very friendly and welcoming staff 😊 We ordered two of the specials and they both tasted fantastic! Would definitely visit again when passing thank you!

What a wonderful little canal side pub. We sat there in the sunshine against an idyllic background of water, ducks and canal boats. The food was home cooked and fabulous; the staff couldn’t have been nicer. When they found out it was my son’s 18th birthday, the chef came out to wish him his best, and offered us all complimentary desserts. However, the lunch was so big we couldn’t eat any more, so the waitress offered us a free drink instead: how kind are they! Genuinely warm and happy to welcome you in. Definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic pub. Went for a long afternoon walk down the canal and stumbled across this great find. Great cider and beer on tap, very friendly service and food was fantastic! Great value for money… very welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly too!! We look forward to returning.

Turned up on spec for lunch, great staff, great food, busy friendly pub, I felt it would be rude not to go back for a drink in the evening!

The staff were so happy and friendly I felt welcome and at home immediately. The food was fresh, well cooked, tasty and served swiftly. Overall an excellent place to visit with a beautiful outside area by the canal

We have been here twice since re opening of pubs. The service and level of customer service is brilliant. Always welcomed with a smile , very informative staff and nothing is to much trouble. The Land lady (if im still allowed to say that) welcomed us on our first visit. Everything hassle free, no downloading of APPS that never work. You turn up sit down turn around there is a member of staff ready to serve you. Its daunting enough on your first visit to a pub after all the lockdown etc but they made it a pleasure to visit a pub again.. WELL DONE TO ALL THE STAFF AND OWNERS !!!1

Fantastic pub on the canal where there is great moorings. The food and service could not be faulted. Traditional pub menu well presented, fast service and great hospitality. We were served by Sarah and Megan who were both wonderful and good fun also providing us with local info and recommended a Taxi service.

Great choice of food at this pub that overlooks the canal. We went off our boat and had a variety of food including lasagne which was ok but had rather too much cheese on top for us. Lovely friendly staff

On a canal boat holiday stopped for dinner. Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful food, huge portions. Service attentive without being intrusive (During lockdown). Would fully recommend, intend to go again on return trip.

The food was a little bit expensive but worth it. All 5 of us REALLY loved our meals. Drinks especially wine were too expensive. Would love to return here as it used to be a regular of ours but unless prices on drinks change I'm afraid it will be for special occasions only.

We moored up for the night and took the short walk to the pub. They had nearly stopped serving food but said they would ask the chef. Came back with menus and we all had scampi and chips. Very nice after 6 hours on the canal in the very strong sun. Can recommend.

Good canal side location and beer served was good. That was as good as it got. Service was slow and when it did arrive was poor. We had a party of three, 2 meals served, they obviously forgot the third meal. Realised the problem and order eventually appeared. Steak and Ale Pie with mash and peas. I had asked if the the dish came with flakey or shortcrust pastry. Told it was shortcrust it wasn't.It would hopefully have been better if it had been shortcrust the flakey pastry was as solid as a shoe sole. Awful. The meat was not too bad but the whole plate was swimming in a diluted gravy. Finally the mash. If it wasn't powered mash is did an excellent job of disguising itself as powdered mash. Awful. Had better school dinners and they would not have cost almost £12. Last time we stop at that pub.

The location is lovely as the Two Boats sits right on the canal. It is a 15 min drive from Leamington Spa and about 20 minutes from South Coventry. The food and service were good and the restaurant was following Covid guidelines.

Fabulous food with local ales. Really welcoming and friendly. In the area for a few days and came here twice!

Staying on friends canal boat and stopped for late evening beer. Pub very welcoming, endorsed by landlord/landlady. Very clean and tidy with nice mixture of memorabilia throughout. Did not have food but blackboards hanging showed that menus changed with specials with care. Beer excellent.

Came in for a quick lunch and definitely wasn't disappointed. Received great and warm welcome. Had steak and ale pie which was amazing, steak melted in my mouth and gravy was to die for. My husband had fish and chips, also very tasty and portions were generous. Can't wait to come back.

Arrived for lunch with a large group and were very impressed with how well they dealt with us. Portions were generous and dishes tasty. Both the faggots and liver and bacon were really popular, but I had the steak and Stilton pie that was crammed with meat and full of flavour. Service was friendly and prices reasonable.

Lovely position by the canal. Friendly staff, quick service. Food OK Bacon baguette great, pulled pork burger good. Ploughman's however poor.

We were all looking forward to our return visit to the two boats at long Itchington. Having enjoyed a great meal here recently. But unfortunately this visit was awful. Food cold, pastry on the steak and ale pie was ancient and obviously very stale. The burger was disgusting, burned, gristley and greasy. Will not be returning.

Stopped off here for a drink after going for a long walk along the canal. On entering the pub I didn't receive a particularly warm welcome, there were locals stood at the bar with their drinks who made me feel uncomfortable as they saw me walk in, but just kept staring at me & didn't move to allow me to get to the bar. They continued to just stare at me & the bar tender didn't even say hello so I just quickly ordered a drink & was relieved to get back outside. Sitting next to the canal was lovely though, very peaceful. I sat reading a book in the sunshine & taking in the surroundings. Lots of people came & went, so it's obviously a popular pub.

Stopped for dinner and camped the night on the csnal. Food good. Traditional pub grub. Good range of beers and ciders. Friendly staff. Ta for a great evening

Got here at 8:25, the kitchen shuts at 8:30. There was 5 of us yet the landlord could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The place was packed but he found a table for us and the food was pretty good too! Highly recommend.

10年以上前に、やはりナローボートで旅行した時に寄ったはずのパブがここです。運河沿いにあり、ボーターたちが集う、独特の雰囲気が好きです。地ビールもおすすめ。

Fantastic pub in a great location. This was our first visit to the pub and it won't be the last. Our visit was on a steaming hot day and was packed with visitors but the service for both drinks and food was first class and all done with a smile. Many thanks

Walked the footpaths across the fields to the canal under the bridge sat outside by the canal for a couple of drinks friendly staff lovely location

First time visitor to this pub in Long Itchington. It is situated on canal and was surprisingly busy for a lunchtime. Two bars with good choice of drinks. We planned to eat and I had ploughman. Certainly plenty on the plate and my other half had steak and ale pie. We parked in car park and were greeted with some steep steps to get to the entrance. Overall no issues with anything and has the benefit of being canal side which was pleasant

The Two Boats is a nice clean pub that serves very good food. The Landlord, John, insists that it is a pub not a restaurant but he has had the brilliant idea of serving a ploughman's for two (£12.50). I've never seen that before. There are two bars, one dedicated to Sky Sports and the other with nice background music. The gardens are extensive and well kept and also have plenty of tables alongside the Grand Union Canal. This pub is popular with the locals who, like the staff, are very friendly and chatty. As a boater I find local knowledge a great asset. The real ales were also spot on. One point I would make is that they charge £1.20 for Soda and Ice, but when you see how many people come in and order it, you can see why. Despite that, this is a very nice comfortable pub with a great atmosphere.

After a hot day at Warwick Castle we found this pub on the way to our accomodation. We ordered food for the four of us which was really reasonably priced and the portions were huge.

Very pleasant early evening dinner in this lovely canal side pub. We had pies and chips which were very nice.

Set right on the canalside with a fair amount of convenient moorings. we often stop here when using our canal boat and are seldom disappointed. The food is well prepared and plentiful - the steak pie was particularly filling! Service was excellent and our grandchildren were very impressed with their meals and the attention they received from the staff.

Saw the reviews on line, saw was wheelchair friendly, called and checked it was wheel chair friendly book for Sunday lunch.

Cruising on the canal and stopped for lunch. My husbands steak and ale pie looked good (he said it was). I chose hot fish platter, shouldn’t have, it was too fried and brown and the portion fat too large - I also got a half of a baguette and a huge bowl of fries - I enjoyed half of it but was soon ‘ploughing through it (I did stop, but hate wasting food) .... okay but not wondrous.

A most disappointing meal - having to return my food to get heated up as was cold upon arrival. A while later, my "nuked" plate was returned and I managed to consume a portion of the fare before departing. Was charged full price for this mess, even when asked how my meal was - so won't be eating there again for some considerable time, if ever. A costly error.

This is such a lovely pub with a lovely view of the canal. We came here with a group to watch a band on Saturday night. We all had food and everybody agreed it was really enjoyable. There was a great atmosphere when the band were playing and all the locals were really friendly, it was such a good fun evening and I would highly recommend this place.

Nice canalside pub that served very nice pub grub Had the home made chicken pie ... best pie in a long time

We visited last weekend, had the fish and chips which were freshly cooked and delicious. The staff all made us feel most welcome,

I would describe the menu as 'microwave food'. They are actually using thin frozen chips from the cash'n'carry on their Fish and Chips ! Like french fries from Burgerking !

Service good. Food disappointing. Brother and I has same guiness burger and not to good day after. Recommend crossing the bridge to the cuttle inn. Food much better

Amazing pub and great staff including a pretty blonde girl that helped me get my wallet back after I had lost it honestly couldn’t recommend it anymore great place

Visited today for lunch with our 4 year old son. Booked over phone on the day and lady who took booking was friendly and helpful. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. This is a proper old fashioned style pub, nice atmosphere, friendly locals, and serves excellent pub food. There is no kids menu but instead they serve kid sized portions of everything on the menu. Our son had the fish and chips which he really enjoyed - I tried the fish and it was delicious! Our food was great too - I had the steak baguette and my husband had a burger. We also indulged in puddings of ice cream, cheese cake and apple pie. Everything was delicious. Service was great. Thank you to all the team! We will be back in the warmer months so we can enjoy sitting by canal side!

Lovely quaint building, very quick service, great value food and great selection of drinks. We really enjoyed sitting outside in the sun by the canal! We will be back soon. Thankyou.

Stopped off at Two Boats for lunch on the spur of the moment. We just had sandwiches and soft drinks but the food was good and plentiful and the service was very friendly and quick. We both thought that it is a perfect example of what a local pub should be with the added benefit of canal boat mooring right outside. We wish we had one of these closer to us!

It was obvious we were more of a hindrance than a customer when arriving for Sunday lunch. Had a drink then walked futher along the tow path to find a much friendlier welcome and a superbe Sunday roast. Well worth walking away from.

A well run, friendly, traditional pub right on the canal with moorings by the front door.

Good food Ordered came 15mins great service and food Friendly atmosphere Loved the dog Ham egg and chips the best

A very pleasant discovery in a wonderful canal side setting. Typical pub fare with generous portions. Great for walkers. Reasonable value and good choice of beers on offer.

We have visited here a few times before and always enjoyed it. So, we decided to bring the family, one loves pies and the other is vegetarian. Disappointed to find that they weren’t offering roast dinners, no specials and only one pie. What’s happened?? We enjoyed our meals but I was disappointed at the minimal menu.

Friendly pub. Good choice of spirits and beers. Ordered the steak pies. Nice tender meat with good gravy. Pastry was a bit stale. Lasagna was dry and had definitely just been microwaved. Also there were dogs climbing up onto the chairs, and onto tables.

Stopped at the Two Boats on our one boat & liked it. Good mixture of locals & boaters & the weather was a bit better than in the photo so lots of folk drinking at the tables. Usual pub type food, well cooked with good service & a reasonable price. We were so impressed that the following day we turned the boat around & stopped for the night again.

I visited this lovely little pub by the canal we had a drink and sat by the canal good prices for drink friendly staff will be returning here in the near future

Nice pub on the Grand Union Canal. I was surprised at the recent poor reviews. We were there recently and drinks and food service was friendly and very quick. We had steak and ale pie, classic burger and chicken burger and all were good with lots of chips.

Rude staff and landlord, lager tastes awful, most food is microwaved and be prepared to have any complaints dismissed and have an argument. Better and friendlier across at the Cuttle.

Absolutely superb! I came here this bank holiday Monday and it was fantastic, very busy yet the bar staff were great and provided fast service. I noticed one of the customers was being extremely rude and impatient, the bar staff however handled it amazingly. I waited an hour for my food due to how busy it was, it was well worth the wait. There will always be negative people but I couldn’t spot one fault with this place. Very good choice of ales and my wife seemed the love the variety of gins. Would definitely recommend, very warm and friendly village pub. And the flowers outside were absolutely stunning.

We waited 1hr for mediocre food. Ham egg and chips-eggs dry and over cooked, children's lasagne which tasted like paste and chicken goujons.oh, there was hair in one of the children's lasagne plus hair on my wife's chips. Disgusting.

Been here many times over the years, a great pub, reasonable prices and a very nice view of the canal and the ducks. Nice to get out into the country every now and then...

Don’t order lattes! Powdered latte used and wasn’t even made correctly as the powdered milk was floating like scum. How hard is it to make a coffee! Won’t be returning. Lovely view but awful coffee!

We had a lovely lunch here earlier this month watching the canal boats go by in the sunshine. The waiting staff were very friendly.

Great atmosphere in the Sports Bar though you can't have everything as Man U beat Leicester. Food excellent. Proper pub food served on proper plates. Great bar staff, speedy service. This is what canal pubs should all be like.

Called in for dinner on our last night at Long Itchington, from the carpark you feel as though there is no one home. Walk up to the canal and you find that's where it all happens. Food is pub grade, wholesome and adequate, beer is cold and prices are average. On reflection I would visit again but it's a little far from Australia.

Nice little plce next to the canal went for a meal and although they dont do traditional sunday lunches we still enjoyed our meal. I would recommend trying it. Locals seem tame and all we spoke to were over 55 i think. Bar staff pleasant and accommodating, beers well kept, outside seating. Mind your head on the door if your over 5ft tall. Great place we will go again

Stopped for a drink and a meal on Sunday but stopped serving food after five o clock. But I was very impressed when they offered to order a take away for us AND gave us plates etc. And let us eat at a table. They were very friendly, the beer and cider were very good.

Firstly I would just like to say that the food was great, and beers good.

This pub is in a great location next to the canal. Whether you want to sit outside and watch the boats in the summer or have a good meal, this place is ideal. Tasty pub food pub and good selection of real ales.

My husband and I like to have lunch here as part of a canal walk, especially on a lovely sunny day like today.

Great canal side pub. Charlie Wells/Youngs beers were in fine condition. The, "basic", but great pub food, was splendid. Do not miss out on the ham egg and chips. Super place to stop on the canal for 24 hours, or longer!

We were looking to spend the afternoon out along the canal and found this pub which is only 25 mins from home . Reviews were very good so went for a walk and had lunch here and was not disappointed when we got there. Staff friendly , food great and felt welcome and great place to relax and eat. I’m sure the car park must get busy in the evening or weekends as we turned up before 1pm on a Wednesday and car park was almost full but that says a lot about how good this pub is . Will be back soon :)

Lovely location and staff friendly. Sadly.....the prices are a complete rip off. Won't be re visiting. Only get caught once!

Delighted to see this place back to its previous excellent standard. Moored here on a Friday night early May. Checked out the menu, looked promising so booked a table. Well prepared food pub food, not pretentious, reasonably priced and very friendly staff. What more could one want.

Visited this pub while staying in the area 3 times now , always a warm welcome from landlords, locals are very friendly, bar staff very friendly , food lovely, bands or singers on at weekends, just wish we had a pub like this where we live !

Came for dinner on Saturday on a trip down memory lane. Beautifully kept pub, shame it was raining but a lovely spot on the canal. Service was amazing and food was superb.

My friends and I came across this pub by accident yesterday - none of us knowing the area but needing lunch. What a great place.

What is not to like about the Two Boats? Set by the canal and offering a nice range of home cooked food.

We found this place by chance and have since returned to visit on a couple of occasions. Lovely place. Down to earth. Smashing food. Highly recommend the Guinness burger.

I have visited this pub many a time before especially when the annual village beer festival was on. This however was the first time I had eaten here, myself and my friends were not disappointed. I had the Guinness burger which was lovely! Will certainly be back again for more.

We visited this bar on our weekend away unfortunately we didn’t eat but the food we did see did look delicious very welcoming on arrival. Lovely hospitality lovely place to relax and was the canal boats

Had a wonderful family meal at the Two Boats.

Got to agree with most of the reviews for this excellent pub. Good, reasonably priced pub food with pies a speciality, good choice of ales, welcoming landlord, pleasant staff, and congenial atmosphere.

This is a great pub. Really good pub food and a nice selection of beers. Two bars, one with TV sport and darts, the other with a bar area and plenty of tabled seating but it's not huge which is nice. We've been in a few times now passing two other pubs that are closer, which we've tried, but that just don't have the same atmosphere. It's how I think a proper pub should be, it's not trying to be anything other than a welcoming place with decent food and a range of good drinks. Really nice, genuinely friendly people running it too.

What can a say, after the awful meal in warwick last night I was hoping for something better and was...

We had a lovely lunch and a lovely evening. We arrived via narrow boat, moored and enjoyed lunch time drinks....

Popped in for a bite to eat as we were passing. Only just crept inside the 8.00pm cut-off for food...
