Have eaten here several times and the food is good value for money. Stowford Press and Wadworth 6X on tap. Nice in the summer to be able to sit outside by the canal. I recommend that you book a table in advance if you want a meal in the evening. It gets very busy.

This really is the dream canalside pub, but we've had two meals here and neither were that good.

Not really a pub at all. This place is a wonder - no one should be allowed to go to Bradford on Avon without visiting The Lock Inn. The legendary "Boatman's Breakfast" is an all-day breakfast to die for. The setting is delightful, the staff super-friendly and the whole ethos of the place just makes you want to smile. Be prepared to wait for your food if their busy, though, this place is run by real human beings who do what they do brilliantly and at their own best pace!

Now back in full flow - even better than before - go have a really good meal here. 3,000% better than the unwelcoming and expensive hovel opposite (canal tavern).

Currently having kitchen refurbishemnents . should be even better when they are complete in a week or so.

Fantastic food and plasant service. So glad we crossed the tow path from the disorganisation and poor welcome of the Canal Tavern next door. Well done Dick and Jane! Lovely

Fantastic place go, we visit every time we are in the area although extreamly busy during summer months! but definatly worth the wait for the food! Its a Cafe/ Restaurant rather than a pub! and at weekends its open really late and stays open untill the last person leaves! They never kick you out! Ran by Lovely people! I cant rate it enough!

No, don't go there for the beer. It isn't to be recommended, to be honest, and the bitter has even been known to run out, on a busy day. But food is good value and good quality. Can get overrun completely in high summer due to pretty canalside setting and lots of outdoor seating. As for end of the night, that can come early - this isn't really a pub. So you may have to move on. Fortunately there are other drinkeries close by.

Neat little place in tiny town. Decent beer on tap. Dick's a great owner with an amazingly good attitude. Numerous outside places to eat, like little huts and a long boat in the canal. But since there isn't anything for kids to do in town, the place is overrun by obnoxious teens on a Friday night. Dick does his best to keep 'em under control. He must be exhausted by the end of the night.
