A chain pub (Marstons I think) which at least retains a few rooms and sections as opposed to being all open plan. Two ales on - Pedigree and Black Sheep. Tried the Black Sheep which was dire. Left half of it.

Canalside pub failing to make the most of its attractive location. With a few tubs of flowers, a smarter restaurant and a more imaginitive selection of beers, this could be a real 'destination' venue. Didn't sample the food this time, but the 'two meals for a tenner' offer at lunchtimes and before 7.30pm was tempting.

The outside has been repainted ,the interior is clean and there is now a clear focus on food in this pub.There are real ales available,but a dull selection including GK IPA ,Bomber and Adnams Bitter.The long dining area looks over the Big Lock from a first floor vantage,and this was the only bar area open at lunchtime,although I believe there is a ground floor bar leading to the canalside.Food reasonable and a respectable,friendly pub in a town sadly lacking decent pubs.

Quality pub with real ales on draught that taste good. The beers that were on were all from down south. My question is:-Why don't they have any northern ales on..? -Like 'Joseph Holt'- a quality beer from Manchester that isn't a million miles away...

now under new local tenents, 4 very good cask ales on sale good prices; food very good all meat is localy sort very tender steaks.nice and clean 100% better than when it was cains well worth a visit; surport you local pubs in these times we dont wont to see any more closing;

It looks as though this pub is now owed by Cain�s brewery, as there were four of their beers on. The Mild was sour so we had to take it back. It was replaced with I.P.A. (at extra cost). They didn�t turn the pump clip round and continued serving it to other unsuspecting customers.
The rest of the beers were passable. Service was slow and disorganised.

Decent location but very ordinary beer and very quiet on a weekday evening.

4 guest beers in rotation .
