Lovely friendly local pub run by Lovely people. Lovely outside space right by the canal with seating to watch the world go by. Dog friendly too.

Right next to the train station so is perfect for me. Friendly staff and decent beer. Extra probs for Toby the cat, he gave me a warm welcome ?

I last reviewed this pub 4 years ago as a 3/4 star.Having been going more frequently recently, I'm updating my review to a solid 5.The decor inside the pub is a throwback to how all pubs used to be (see video) and is maintained and looked after throughout. The current owners are extremely welcoming to anyone who passes through the front or back door. There is space to go as a large group or just with a friend (or even on your own as there are plenty of locals there). There is a rear outdoor seating area/smoking area overlooking the canal. The facilities are looked after and they smell clean. The beer selection is quite accommodating for all tastes and it tastes clean too. The drink selection is vast if you like certain spirits or mixers, this is a place for you. With a TV in the largest area of the bar, which provided well during the 2022 World Cup.Staff look after and accommodate all. The locals are very welcoming and friendly. In the summer there is an area downstairs which has benches, next to the canal too.A short walk from the town centre, so close to all methods of transport. The on-road parking outside is accommodating if you decide to drive or the snall car park around the rear. The current landlady and landlord have exciting plans for the pub and how to improve it too.There are treat jars on the side of the bar if you decide to bring a pooch with you (there isn't many dogs in the pub and they tend to stick to one side, so if you have a fear of dogs don't let this deter you!) And access to the local canal pathway or pathway back to vines is immediately outside.Definitely recommend visiting this pub if you haven't in a while! You'll be pleased!

The food is very good, moreish, I have not had very much but it was worth every penny, I had Christmas dinner there it was fabulous food and company.Cannot recommend it too much!!
Good food - small portions but for a great price. Good, well-priced beer and very friendly service

It's nice when weather is warm sat by canal, stairs need doing up to bar rather dangerous when bringing drink down them

Friendly staff and decent lager. I did try the Banks Amber Ale to start with, which wasn't the best so swapped to Carling which was decent. Prices not too bad either.
