Early evening - a recommendation from a fellow boater who we met queuing for a lock. The whole place was fascinating and comfortable - even the toilet graffiti was well thought out! The beer selection wasn’t great although this has won a local Camra award, so I think we were a bit unlucky. Retro music (60s and 70s) playing quite loudly but thoroughly enjoyed by our group and a couple of other family groups. Memorable evening.

A cellar conversion with an outside terrace. The pub is approached down a narrow stairway and opens up into ornate curved brick arches. The terrace is small with an additional undercover area. The whole pub, inside and out, is decorated with fascinating, eclectic memorabilia.
