Could do with more ales. Only had London Pride on tap, the other choice was off.

I have been a regular in this pub for the past 6 years and it has had its up and down (just like any other pub I'm sure) but on the bigger picture, I find the pub lovely. Noreen and Aidan are wonderful people who always make everyone feel so welcome when they step through the front door. They're currently having a patio built out back which will be good for us smokers when the weather gets even colder, especially with the nice view of the canal and the boats. Noreen is back in charge of the kitchen and is improving her menu all the time. The food is excellent and I definately encourage people to have the steaks or the lamb shank are they are superb. I have always loved the atmosphere and will continue to return, almost daily, in the future. Keep up the excellent work.

Noreen and Aiden have done a fantastic job with the General Elliot, refurbishing the bar over the past year. There´s always a cheery welcome and the standards of both service and cleanliness are excellent. Aiden is one of lifes true gentlemen, and his wife Noreen is truly at the top of her field. The atmosphere in here is always fun and the food of the highest standard. I will certainly be returning (probably daily). Keep up the great work.

I WENT TO THIS PUB TODAY WITH MY WIFE, NICE PUB WITH LOTS OF CHARACTER FOR A TYPICALLY ENGLISH PUB THE FOOD IS WIERD, THEY ONLY SERVE TAPPAS AT £2 EACH I PAID £2 FOR A TINY BOWL OF CURRY MADE FROM LEFTOVER PRE COOKED CHICKEN AND THEN PAID £2 FOR A SMALL BOWL OF RICE! MY WIFE HAD A SPAG BOL WHICH SHE SAID WAS GOOD. THE KARAOKE SIGN IS UP BUT THEY DON`T HAVE IT!
I`LL GIVE THE FOOD A MISS HERE IN FUTURE WOULD GO AGAIN FOR A BEER AND KARAOKE IF IT STARTS AGAIN.

Called while walking along the canal (one of the few pubs that makes most of its canal-side position) and sat under the chestnut tree with our pints of Fullers. Beer ok but not great and service slow.

I have been a regular in this pub for 20 years, I like it as it is a bit out of the town centre and canal side patio is nice in the summer, it can be very busy or nice and quiet. The locals and boaties are friendly, people and managers come and go.
They tend to have London Pride as the resident ale along with a weaker one like Adnams or Brakspears.
At the moment they have karaoke on Thu and live music on Sat. Home cooked food, Fri night is curry night and you can order one to take home at closing time.
Currently undergoing a bit of a refurb which has cheered the place up, also last year they had a pool table put in and they show all of the big sporting events.

Rumoured change of licensee Autumn 04 - surviving customers v shabby but cheerful Nov 04 after a 'good night', no ale but Guinness ok.

I suppose it had to happen. Elliott Tuffin is now regularly appearing at the Eliott. If you enjoy superb tributes to the likes of Joe Cocker, Meatloaf and Elvis Presley, this guy is the best on the circuit. Great entertainment and great real ales. Can't be bad. John.

I just went in to The General Eliott for a drink while i was passing through the area and when i got there all i got was really good customer service and the bar staff and customers were really lovely people. The food is really good and the ale pumps are really looked after.
