The Good Pub Guide praises this popular 1920s Grade II listed red brick pub with its stunning stained-glass windows and sky lit bar with floor-to-ceiling green tiles and massive tiled fireplace. Quirky touches get a nod - including the antler chandeliers and red phone box. The well kept ales, craft beers, ciders, cocktails and over 100 vodkas also win points along with the reasonably priced American diner food.

The Good Pub Guide is a fan of this refurbished canalside pub on three floors, with the main bar/restaurant downstairs opening on to the towpath. The real ales, proper cider, decent range of wines and good value food also get the thumbs up. Children & dogs are welcome - it’s open late too, upstairs.
