Just popped in with my wife as we were out for a drive. We were greeted by a very nice young man behind the bar, very polite, nice and welcoming, and no fuss. I had two pints of San Miguel, they were lovely pints, with a nice head all the way to the bottom of the glass. Definitely coming back in the summer.

Family owned pub, canalside with outdoor seating and offering boat trips. We had very tasty burgers and good pub menu with usual selection of drinks. Friendly service. Very small car park and gets extremely busy when the weather is good. Recommended if you are in the area. Opposite is the canal museum and always fun to watch the boats going through the locks (under repair at the moment).

First ever canal holiday in the 1970's stopped at the boat inn. It was great then and it still is.Warm welcome great food and excellent beer. Just like all pubs should be. Packed in the summer but peaceful this time of year. Well worth the diversion into the Northants countryside to step back in time.Long may it continueParking: Not a huge car park but adequate as most probably arrive by boat.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a very old building with all that that implies but generally i think access should be ok.

Many changes to most places after the pandemic, but the boat remains our favorite watering hoie. Fiendly staff, good choice of beer and the Food is nice. Also a warm fire in the winter and dog friendly. Great place to be.

A lovely canal side restaurant/pub. Enjoyed by local boaters and visitors alike. Sausage and mash was delicious. Perfectly large but not wasteful portions. Proper homely belly warming food. And very reasonable on pricing for what you get in my opinion. Thank you Boat Inn! ?️
An amazing place. Truly the hart of the community. Its a nice pub with great sausage rolls but that's just the start. It's also a mini food shop. Proper Restaurant upstairs as well as pub food downstairs. Sells take takeaway wine. Has a chancery (boat shop). Does cash back for small amounts. The list goes on..Staff are helpful and pleasant.

Lovely location and a cosy pub. We have eaten here a number of times and enjoyed the food enormously. So we decided to book Christmas day luncheon. The starters was delicious, mains more than enough although the roast potatoes a let down, just not crispy. We were looking forward to dessert, Christmas pudding/custard lacked the alcohol. I know that is a personal thing, but do feel a more boozy one for the adults. Only 3 cream crackers between two people. Plenty of cheese, but there really should have been enough cream crackers on the plate to begin with without having to ask for more. Disappointing mince pies, these really should have been home made and not shop bought. It was a lovely touch to have a little box of party poppers etc and a gift for each of us at the end. Over all it was a nice day. Service was top notch. It did lack atmosphere, no christmas music nor fairy lights in the dining room or the reception area upstairs. Can I also say, jeans? really. A dress code would be nice on such a day.

The Fillet Steak is to die for! This is our 3rd time returning for this dish (incidentally, we've also had breakfasts, and other dishes off the menu - delicious... but we happen to favour Steak).. Staff and atmosphere are wonderful. A ten out of five for us
