Visited today with the dogs whilst out cycling, 2 mains for 15. We both had fish and chips with 2 teas and a cold drink and it came to 20!!! The chips were home made, fish was lovely and the tartare sauce tasty. Amazing value for money in a great setting. We will repeat as often as we can, we've drove past often and can see now why it's always popular.

The service was friendly & and attentive. we both had the Gourmet beef & pork burgers, which we found really tasty. The view of the canal and wandering ducklings was adorable & will definitely be returning again.

Lovely friendly proper local traditional community pub. Good food and all priced competitively. Has couple of TV screens showing sport, but you can sit away from these if not interested. As long as you are having food and drinks they are happy for motorhomes to stay overnight - assuming space. Parking is next to the waterway and free by entering your reg at the bar. Thank you for food, drink, free stopover and plenty of dogs to say hello to.

Spot on. One of the best steaks I've ever had and cooked perfectly to how I like it. The peppercorn sauce was lovely. My son's meal was really good too and he finished it off which doesn't often happen with such a large portion of food. Can't wait to come back.
