| Excellent, great value food, with one or two guest ales. Good interior. Nice surroundings. Has been under new management for a couple of years and the new landlord and landlady are friendly and all the bar staff are happy to help. Highly recommended. austinmontego - 31 Jan 2011 17:33 |
| A large traditional and impressive looking place that sits next to the Shropshire Union Canal. It has a patio area and outside tables by the canal, where boats are often moored up. large car-park. The interior is clean. Wood beams and partitions divide the food, dart and drinking areas. I have not eaten here. The notes about an unfriendly landlord i cant comment upon, all i can say is the lady behind the bar when i visited was very friendly. The beer had the usual stuff, with Banks's MILD and bitter on handpull, as well as two ales; Marston's Taverner's Ale and Cocker Hoop, so all Banks's stuff. The MILD was pretty decent. I will be returning, especially when i can sit outside when it isnt p***ing down, like it was today. Archivist - 9 Jun 2009 22:38 |
| Entirely agree with the comments about the landlord. He was most put out when I insisted on having my pint from the handpump rather than the electric quick dispense one. Told me that it came out of the same barrel anyway so why was I bothered. We are vegetarian, which he also seemed to take as a personal insult if the very limited veggy choice is anything to go by. In all fairness though it must be said that he is far from being the only one guilty in this particular regard, many other pubs are just as culpable. The food, whenit did eventually turn up, was spectacular in its ordinariness, poorly cooked and showing all the signs of having been nuked in the microwave. In short avoid this pub at all costs, unless it is one minute to closing and you are desperate. wergie - 30 Aug 2007 20:18 |

| Food has awlays been good when I've been in there, and some of us don't like our beer covered in foam. I tend to avoid it in the summer when it can be very busy with boaters arkman43 - 10 Oct 2006 21:46 |
