The Lock Inn Cafe (Canal Side Cafe), Bradford on Avon

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.
