| visited today at lunchtime, very busy, beer excellent especially the steam porter, staff not over friendy and the landlord as mentioned before fairly miserable, the toilets here have always been a disgrace, I would have thought that the Box Steam Brewery could do something about it now, improve them please!!!

| An old boozer with amazing location. But do have to agree with other comments, wasnt the friendliest welcome (yes comically rude). Govnor seemed to be doing me a favour by taking my order and got the impression that not to much of an effort is needed due to the location. Shame. Good range of beers though and would recommend a visit. Havent eaten so cant comment on food. They also do carry outs which is great for the lovely walk along the canal back to Bradford. 10/10 for location, 5/10 for service. THE_Ale_TEAM - 21 Sep 2011 09:56 |
| This pub's setting is its key selling point. Overlooking the Avon and next to an aqueduct with the railway station nearby, it feels like a really secluded and peaceful spot. It will get busy with tourists and in particular families who can take their charges into the garden. But on a sunny Friday lunchtime in spring, the place was not too busy. The wait for service was just under 5 minutes with only one staff member behind the bar. However, she was fairly friendly and served a full pint. Box Steam beers on were Chuffin' Ale, Steam Porter, Tunnel Vision & Golden Bolt. There was also Hooky Gold from Hook Norton. Keg ciders available were Lilleys Apples & Pears, Pheasant Plucker, Thatchers Dry & Thatchers Gold. In addition, there was a mulled cider and a real cider - Thatchers Cheddar Valley from a polycask. The main bar is small and a little cluttered. A tankard collection hangs from the ceiling. A further room has tables set for dining. But the tables outside the front of the pub and in the garden sloping down to the riverbank were clearly the most popular on a sunny day. On the whole, we had a positive experience. I think the trick may be to visit on a quieter day. blue_scrumpy - 10 Apr 2011 09:25 |
| The service here is so rude that it's actually comical. The food was ready before I got to my table with the drinks, which was weird. I feel that they can get away with treating customers badly because more will keep coming for the location. A shame, as it used to be a cracking pub. Adreamofwhitehorses - 9 Apr 2011 18:52 |
| A fairly good place with an excellent range of beers and ciders (some fairly unusual ones). A free house. Clearly, as a destination for walks (about a mile from Bradford-on-Avon along the canal towpath) it can attract large groups, but in fine weather the large terraced garden can cope. Didn't try the food, but the drink was well-kept. 7/10 HenPen - 27 Mar 2011 16:56 |
