Being a rare sunny day, this
canal-side pub was extremely busy and it was difficult to queue at the bar just
to get a half in while lunch orders were being taken. The pub itself was a
large extended seventeenth-century cottage with ample snugs at the front and a restaurant
area at the back facing the canal. The facilities were all up a small wooden
staircase and you had to queue in the corridor to wait your turn to use the
converted bathroom. Outside there were many, many picnic tables filled with
large groups of people sifting through menus. There was also a barbecue area
but the wait was at least half an hour and fries were an extra four quid. Not many
of our group decided to take them up on it. Most of our party who had decided
to camp here were grumbling about the wait at the bar and the food prices.
There were certainly no latecomers when it was time to re-board the bus. An
interesting beer range but you best pick a quieter day to fully experience the
pub itself.
