| This pub has a superb location right by Saltford lock. There’s plenty of outside seating, including a few seats on the island which to get to you have to walk across the lock – not recommended after one too many. It’s a traditional free house, so you can never be sure what ales are going to be on. When I was in there on Wednesday lunchtime they had on Butcombe Bitter; Sharp’s Doom Bar; and GKIPA. I had a couple of pints of Butcombe Bitter, which was excellent, and reasonably priced (by my London standards) at £2.65 a pint. I didn’t spend much time inside, except to go to and from the bar, but it looked pretty basic. Nothing wrong with that of course. It was reasonably quiet on a weekday lunchtime, but I bet it gets incredibly busy on a summer’s weekend. But it’s a really nice pub, and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area on a nice day and can sit outside. RexRattus - 16 Aug 2009 15:21 |
| Took a detour off the cycle path again yesterday and nothing's changed. The pub will always be busy due to its attractive location which unfortunately seems to mean the owners don't need to be bothered with such trivialities such as providing decent service and decent beer. Yes, there were four ales on, but the two tried were tired and just about not take backable in quality. Just lazy. Will give it another six months and hope for an improvement.

| Fantasic riverside setting with extensive outside seating, and even their own island across the lock. Quite nice inside as well with a traditional bar area and a modern conservatory used for dining. Four beers on tap, plus Blackthorn & Scrumpy Jack cider. Blackthorn - 26 Jul 2009 22:04 |
| Been in a couple of times recently and the positives of the location and pleasant interior are offset by the averageness of the ale. Only Butcombe Best and one other which could only could be described as passable when quaffed. Shame. Dandillus - 21 Feb 2009 15:30 |
| A brief visit, made all the more brief due to the lack of local Bristol ales as advertised on the board outside. Theakstons Old Peculiar apparently the most local. Place seems nice enough and was very busy on the Sunday afternoon we popped in. Might be tempted to give it another go when in the area. smileychops - 26 Jan 2009 10:11 |
