| As good as I remember, when I visited over the recent bank holiday. The beer range appears to be smaller, but is more than made up for by the cider range. Food quality good, friendly and welcoming. PaulGreen77 - 6 Jun 2011 16:06 |
| Small old stone pub next to the Wye. Really interesting range of local ciders (15 or so) and a couple of local ales too. Simple food but quite tasty and freshly cooked. Seemed to be a locals/hikers pub (which is fine)...lots of folks getting quite p!ssed on the cider, but with a friendly atmosphere. It's a lot more "worn around the edges" than their website suggests but it was good fun visiting. Definitely go back if I get the chance. Tip: it's next to an old railway bridge across the Wye so it's possible to walk, but not drive, across the river. JonRambo - 13 May 2011 13:53 |
| Visited on the weekend. Great pub in a great location. Wonderful selection of ciders and Wye Valley Ales on good form. Will definitely not be driving when I go back. dan76uk - 12 Apr 2011 10:40 |
| The pub to visit south of Monmouth. It has had a bumpy few years but recently has gone back to its best. Simple riverside stone-flagged floor, friendly welcome, delicious Butty Bach and even packets of Bombay Mix! There is a car park in Redbrook on the English bank so you can park and walk across the old railway bridge. About 8 years ago the pub was famed for its tasty and good value curries. I see they're back on the menu but haven't tried them. Live music on Tues & Thurs. But there is one major drawback - you have to go home sometime. Pilkington - 17 Oct 2010 10:22 |
| Following our visit to The Saracen's Head at East Symonds Yat, the faithful chauffeur & manservant, Champ, conveyed us to The Boat Inn. It is exactly as described by "Phantom Raspberry", bar the fact that it was a beautiful April afternoon, so a log fire would have been totally superfluous. The pub is set in a very pretty location indeed, and it was a pleasure to sit outside watching, through a rheumy, pickled-onion eye, more canoeists trying their hardest to kill themselves! Wye Valley Brewery's "Butty Bach" was in top form and I partook of a few which went down particularly well with a bowlful of Presbyterian in my favourite Straight Bulldog Pipe, whilst poor old Champ, the wrinkled retainer, had to make do with Vimto, or some such other vile muck. The food looked and smelled delicious, but I never actually got around to ordering let alone eating as my back teeth were floating due to imbibing an excess of the aforementioned "Butty Bach". A lovely little pub in a bucolic location, worth a highly respectable 7/10. 5thearlofwimbourne - 26 Jun 2010 10:38 |
