The Lock Keepers

A lovely tucked away spot that was ideal for a family meal before heading down the river to watch the bore. (The wave, I hasten to add, not me, for anyone who’s encountered a review of mine before!). Ham egg and chips, loaded fries, kids fish and chips and the best presented kids sausage and mash I’ve ever seen were all absolute treat. A couple of very reasonably priced ice creams for the kids afterwards and we all left very satisfied having enjoyed friendly, attentive service and the option of whatever atmosphere you wish for: a small area with low chairs and coffee tables next to the bar with the big telly, tucked around the side for a more restaurant experience, the best of both worlds with a couple of tables near the bar, or there’s always the decking outside overlooking the water. A delightful, nicely decorated spot well worth a visit.

Stumbled on this lovely place after looking for a pub to have lunch at on a Wednesday afternoon (most other places were closed). Friendly staff, great food & generous portions. Can highly recommend the hot sandwiches (great prices - chicken club ciabatta with chips & coleslaw for £8!) & fish & chips. Would highly recommend.

Decided to try this pub whilst on holiday nearby, booked the day before as read some good reviews. We chose main meals only Ham, egg and chips with salad Chicken burger with fries Lock keeper burger with fries. All were good and staff checked prior to taking our order if any of the party had allergens or intolerances. Pub was quiet but it is midweek and the start of the new school term after a glorious day- think people chose to eat early as a couple of items on the menu sold out.

My partner and I had dinner here last night and it was well worth the visit. The young front of house team did very well, being polite and professional whilst remaining relaxed. The beer was good but I found the choice limited. The food was of exceptional quality and the portion sizes were generous, neither of us finished our meals infact. After dinner coffee was taken in the garden, and to be honest this is the only let down to this venue. The garden does not actually overlook the river. That said though this does not spoil the experience. Would I dine here again? Without hesitation, Yes!
