Myself and my hubby come here often and we think it's wonderful. The staff, the chef , the landlord and the locals are lovely and you are always made welcome. The food is lovely and reasonably priced too. We had to wait a long time once due to an error (it happens they're only human) and the landlord paid for our drinks for our stay , the chef came out apologised and asked us if we still wanted our meal or would like an alternative etc and the barmaid came up to us and gave us a voucher for our next meal.... they didn't have to do that! We only asked about our meal as other customers had been and gone and we were sat there...we were happy to wait but, they went out of their way to try make our visit the best it could be so, I'm writing this to show how brilliant their customer service was!!
The steamboat Inn is a great place for a meal and we'll continue to come here and next time might even bring one of my dogs as it's dog friendly . So if you're on the river with your dog and you fancy a bite to eat and a pint then, the Steamboat Inn is the place to go. ��
My wife and I had our wedding party here last night. Natalie (Landlady) and all the staff did a great job looking after us. The food was nice, the drinks selection was good and the staff were well organised and were very attentive. Consider this place for parties because we are glad we did :) . Location was great for photos and pleasant by the water. Couldn't be happier really. Thank you guys for helping to make our wedding day so enjoyable; you were great.
Nice pint and lovely surroundings,
but just our luck.. The chef had walked out... Was looking forward to a nice meal.. Will return when able to get a meal �
The best Sunday dinner ever! Home cooked stuffing & yorkys, fresh veg and tasty meat & gravy thank you! Welcoming staff, dog friendly and you can even camp for the night! Definately a return journey booked.....
Not been to Trent Lock for a few years so decided to pay a return trip to walk my friend Zero (Collie). After our walk called in at The Steamboat for a drink and a breather. I found the bar staff to be helpful and friendly the bar was stocked with a good selection of bottled and Draught beers and I was supplied with a nice bowl of fresh cold water, excellent will be paying another visit very soon.
A lovely pint of well kept Thatcher Gold, in great surroundings and pleasant staff!
Popped in for lunch whilst we moored at Trent lock - amazing food , lovely friendly staff who were happy to help.
Definitely recommend visiting and will be back soon! ⛴�
It's a lovely pub and always friendly. Good beer, good food.
Very relaxing. Nice to go for a long walk then beable to have a pint in relaxing conditions.
Great day out with Residents. Lovely views good service. Sun was good to us too lol
We didn't eat here but of what food I saw it looked good.
The service was excellent and plenty of locals made the atmosphere welcoming.
Dogs are allowed with plenty of outside seating.
As you can see from photos some unusual guests inside.
What a pub! Excellent service, great range of drinks.
Always welcoming staff with great banter. Great ales and Always something new to try. Cider is hansom! The food is also really good. Great quality ingredients.
All round a cracking pub, oh and super dog friendly, welcomed inside aswell as out!
Nice place to stop and have a drink. The pub is just as interesting inside as it is outside. Wonderful watching boats go through the lock, or doing inside and seeing the interesting decor. They welcome well behaved dogs too.
Excellent pies and great atmosphere, we came back when we discovered that there was live music!
Excellent Sunday lunch.
Great location at Trent Lock on the Erewash canal. Quirky, interesting historic pub, welcoming friendly staff. Real ales, great value, generous proportioned food, choice of pork, beef, lamb or vegetarian.
Well worth a visit.
If you have mobility needs, check ahead, regular parking is a short walk away, but it is possible to drop off outside. The pub is accessible via a ramp.
A lovely little pub tucked away to the side of the canal where we had moored up. We had been travelling all day and was eager to eat but The Steamboat had stopped serving food ( it was after 8pm ) the landlord was most accommodating and allowed us to grab a take out and eat it there and even provided us with plates! You just dont get that kind of service every day and we were really grateful. Thank you to all at The steamboat for going above and beyond it was greatly appreciated and we will be back!
Lovely place, didn't try any food so can't comment on that. But welcoming atmosphere and interesting decorations. Lovely outside area to sit too.
Lovely food, great spot next to the canal even have live music and dogs are welcome. What more could you want in the location it's in
Stopped for liquid refreshments after a lovely 4 mile circular walk long the canal and Attenborough Nature Reserve. Fabulous location and great selection of beers. Shipstones Gold Star and Welbeck Abbey Harley were excellent.
What a lovely day out 13mile on how push bikes, Shipley park to steamboat Inn.Great old fashioned pub over looking canal and river trent.good homemade sculptures, friendly staff. You need to go see for yourself.
Stopped off to see a boating pal on the way home so a spot of lunch and a drink. Great food and service and more importantly dog friendly
Popped for a drink sadly no food available at the time we went. Ace pub for being different with a carousel horse hung from the ceiling, a dalek sat in the corner and a very old motorbike and a Sinclaire C5 car (if you remember them lol) very query but lots to see 😊😊
Childhood memories bring back the what was at the time a zoo. Friendly staff and customers most generous. Hours mentioned 11am-9pm are correct. Open daily. Surely serves beer and all manner of beverage.
Very good service. Lovely drink.
Food was lovely and inexpensive. Staff very welcoming. Dog friendly too.
Simple Sunday lunch menu, but very generous portions. Free parking at the Trent Lock car park
Thanks Simon and team for letting us order a takeaway and eat in youbalways look after us the Taylors on the boats xx
