Called in at 2.40 last Friday afternoon. Noticed a couple of people eating and as I was starving I enquired if they did food. Young bonny lass behind the bar said I should be ok if I hurried to order. At the same time the mess on my left (that was shovelling chips down her throat at great speed) piped up "kitchens shut, shut at 2.30" She shouts this at the barmaid rather than addressing me direct
Turns out this thing is the landlady!!
Pubs all over closing and this idiot is still employed? Why??

Decided to give them another go, but wish had'nt bothered - found equally unfriendly and abrasive staff - facilities were dirty and smelly - most of seating was torn and foisty - and to cap it all, ale was warm and flat - that's it now - you go there at your peril - there are far better places for a nice evening out that will welcome you with open arms

good old pub style decor and tasty selection of real ales, however bar staff were very dour and unwelcoming and no sign of landlord & landlady until late on when they came to close the bar - unfortunately a most unfriendly pub, and one which should make you want to return, but doesn't

Great pub by the canal .................. still suffering from the hangover!
|
Recommened for real ale lovers, good selection of beers from local breweries.
|
Agree with all said before. There are tables outside if it is smoky in.

Me mum used to run this place about 12-13 yrs ago, and I'm so glad the Barge is still as well regarded. We always enjoyed the time spent with the locals and if Pepi is still around, wish him all the very best from Stu.

Brilliant brewpub, always got 10 real ales, food during the day, pool table, darts, pinball, can't beleive it's only rated 7.5/10
|
great pub with an excellent selection of real ales always available which are kept in top form, the only down point is that smoking is allowed throughout & it can get quite smokey at busy times.
|
The home grown beer, such as bargee and nettle-thrasher are both good drinks
|
a micro brewery where it is possible to sample a dozen different beers(if you are up to it)the lunches are also excellent in both quality and value - i had to comment on the food as her indoors is keen on that sort of thing. good beer good surroundings and yes dear good food
