| OMG what has happened. Crap food with an Iceland van delivering it and at night full of nasty older drunks and underaged theating teenagers. Very nasty place to be beerman6 - 21 Jan 2012 23:52 |
| Ate here for the third time recently. Always very busy (a good sign), and as a result we had to wait nearly an hour for our food. However, service was very friendly and staff were hard working and organised. Menu quite varied and extensive, and very reasonable prices with good sized portions. Pub is extremely quirky and doesn't follow rules of established chains. Canal side location and wide array of eating areas (open air, garden room, canal boat, marquee, and indoor area) only adds to the charm. Well worth the visit if you can cope with its lively nature and crowds. CalneBlueBird - 16 Jan 2012 22:28 |
| I think this place it wonderful. In a time where the pub industry seem to think that what people want is a generic template, devoid of characture its great to find somewhere the total opposite. We live in London but regulary travel to Bradford to visit elderly relatives. This is a must stop place for us. Yes the staff tend to be on the young side (must be a great employer of young people in the town). And yes the menu is not ground breaking but we dont care. Its the fact that they make the effort. Its friendly, and funny and run by real people not some massive pub company. Have had some great breakfasts and wonderful homemade (yes it was) lasagna. Dog friendly, cat friendly, everybody friendly. Great location also. One day I would like to own my own place and will be stealing (sorry owners but it is the greatest form of flattery) some of the wonderfully quarky feel this place has. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the town, an unspoilt little gem. THE_Ale_TEAM - 21 Sep 2011 09:50 |
| Disgusting food very fatty and rushed, not the most appealing. Lovely location, some staff were pleasant other staff seemed a little wired... The prices are expensive for the meal or light bite you get, menu is different just ashame the chief does not seem that passionate about food anymore, I used to go regularly but can't say I'd now go back for food.

| We (family of 2 adults & 2 children) visited this lovely pub on Monday night and what an absolute find. I really don't know what people are moaning about. We found this such a picturesque spot, lots of outdoor and indoor seating. We had planned to go to the Canal Tavern (opposite) but then spotted The Lock Inn. The pub was quite full when we arrived (about 8pm) and we were offered the opportunity to sit outside on the canal in their barge! Well, you can imagine this went down well with the kids. The barge was situated just outside and our meals were served on board! We couldn't fault the menu at all, just your everyday sort of choices with a separte kiddies menu which we failed to find in other nearby restaurants which seemed to cater for adults more. All meals were very reasonably priced, my husband had the fish & chips (best he had tasted in a long time). We had 4 meals and 4 drinks for £26! Too good to be true? Not at all, you MUST visit this place, the staff were very friendly, don't listen to the other negative comments if you're looking for sheer tranquility and excellent food, look no further. richardslisa - 11 Aug 2010 10:38 |
