This place is in a fantastic location and it is a massive shame that it isn’t a nice old boozer rather than a pretentious café/bar. The barman was slightly snooty and my Pride was barely drinkable, but I stayed to finish it as the patio area by the canal is fantastic. Guinness, Stella and some premium lagers are also available, but the other customers seemed to all be drinking coffee which was quite pungent. There is a plasma screen on the wall above an impressive contemporary open fire.

This is the sort of place I’d take the wife for lunch on a nice summer’s day and not the sort of place I’d go for a beer.

Has anyone been in here for a while? I haven't been in for a couple of years because, like the other reviewers, I experienced such shockingly arrogant and slow service that I vowed never to return. That said, it's a damn good spot, so we can always pray for better. Seems to be owned by a restaurant group now according to their website. Doesn't bode well that beer is listed with snacks (cf all other drinks having their own section), though it does mention HSB along with Pride.

Echo others, poor service (very very slow), pestered to finish and move off after paid, very overpriced (£15 for a small steak and handful of chips!) and not that good either. Great location spoiled by the pub itself. Could have been so much nicer. 3 from me...
