Lovely setting for a pub, but the food has never been that brilliant, everything is portion controlled from a well known food supplier, and is basically microwaved. I ordered scrambled egg on toast for my 3 year old child on Tuesday, and was given what I can only describe as revolting. It was a weird off white colour, tasted of plastic, had a rubbery texture, and you could see it was out of a container as it still had the container shape to it! ie soft round flat bits to it, if you know what I mean. I questioned the waitresses about it and was told that it was made that morning!, some 4 hours earlier! , so I said out of a packet then, and they didnt know what to say. To serve this stuff up was unbelievable, especially when it take only a minute to make scrambled egg. So if you want dont wantmicrowave food this is the place to avoid, even if the setting is nice!

Have eaten here several times and the food is good value for money. Stowford Press and Wadworth 6X on tap. Nice in the summer to be able to sit outside by the canal. I recommend that you book a table in advance if you want a meal in the evening. It gets very busy.

This really is the dream canalside pub, but we've had two meals here and neither were that good.

Not really a pub at all. This place is a wonder - no one should be allowed to go to Bradford on Avon without visiting The Lock Inn. The legendary "Boatman's Breakfast" is an all-day breakfast to die for. The setting is delightful, the staff super-friendly and the whole ethos of the place just makes you want to smile. Be prepared to wait for your food if their busy, though, this place is run by real human beings who do what they do brilliantly and at their own best pace!

Now back in full flow - even better than before - go have a really good meal here. 3,000% better than the unwelcoming and expensive hovel opposite (canal tavern).
