| Ale drinkers paradise, usually up to twelve ales to choose from, friendly staff, dark and very atmospheric in the lower deck with the East Restaurant on the upper deck. Dogs welcome (downstairs that is) and a huge seating area outside. 3konaowner - 17 Jun 2011 22:02 |
| Certainly a different type of pub. Lots of real ales, although it was fairly packed after football got served in reasonable time. Better than it looks from the outside. GuideDogSaint - 16 Feb 2011 23:01 |
| A superb selection of real ales - sadly I only had time to sample one - the Oakham Bishop's Farewell, which was excellent. Bar service was efficient and friendly. My only complaint is that, being down in the depths of the boat, the place appears generally gloomy and claustrophobic with little or no natural light. ace1973 - 2 Oct 2010 08:44 |
| First impressions of this large old barge, were that it was going to be a bit disappointing. It’s got a rather decrepit air about it, and just didn’t look very inviting. However, looks can be deceiving, and I was very glad I paid a visit. It consists of one large, open downstairs bar with a suitably nautical feel to it – rough wood panelling, wooden flooring and wooden tables. Not much in the way of décor, but some interesting prints on the walls detailing some of the beers on offer. There’s one very long bar running almost the whole length of the ship, and a small corner stage at one end that looks as though it may be used for bands or a disco. Upstairs there’s an oriental restaurant. This is an interesting mezzanine type floor, with the windows of the restaurant over looking the edge of the lounge. Beer choice is among the largest I have ever seen in any pub. On this visit I noted (deep breath)… Oakham’s White Dwarf, Bishops Farewell and Midnight Mild; Green Jack’s Orange Wheat Beer; RCH Steam Shower; Anglo Dutch Special (from Dewsbury, Yorkshire, apparently); Black Friars Spring Tide; Atomic Fission; Tower Brewery Cooper’s Special; Leydon Brewery’s Rammy Rocket plus another two that were apparently off as the pump clips were turned round. Amazing. After all that beer, ciders were a slightly disappointing Scrumpy Jack and Stowford Press. The outside area, although large, is a little disappointing. All the tables and chairs are on a rather unattractive gravelled area with a curious raised section in the middle. There are some lawns further back, but no seating. On top of this, there’s no view of the river, which seems to be one of the main reasons for having a riverside pub! The large barge completely obscures the view, with the bridge and the end blocking anything you may see upstream. There is however an outside bar as well, which is useful if you don’t want to make the trek back to the boat. Obviously a much more limited selection though, with no real ales at all.

| Great Pub... excellent everchanging guest beers all well kept ... Food brought down from upstairs is Pan-Asian, expensive but tasty, whereas the beer is well priced and served by knowledgable bar staff, very impressed. Ziggles - 8 May 2010 18:23 |
