"Uniquely converted from an old Waterways Warehouse with the adjacent canal running through the pub and resident narrowboats moored inside. Once inside, there is a normally a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, but weekends can be very busy. Homemade meals compliment the range beers. Numerous ciders, perries and craft beers are also available. Also of note are the fridges, housing over 200 bottled beers. Outside is a large, recently upgraded, seated patio that overlooks the canal and is very popular on warm, sunny days and summer evenings.
