They made a very stressful situation very easy. Nothing was too much trouble. Friendly staff, quality home cooked food, amazing value. I would recommend this pub to anyone. Service was second to none. Thank you all so much xx
Amazing food, bar staff/ waitering staff and the guys serving the carvery all happy and friendly. Always a pleasure coming to this place.
Lovely place, recommend highly. Great outdoor garden overlooking the Stratford canal. A fine selection of ales & ciders + lovely food.. My mom loves it here...
First time here. .Friendly staff..great music/food and atmosphere. Definitely be back. ��
Extremly helpful lovley staff who go out of there way to help you, We came as a large family on bank holiday monday from a Canal boat rental and they had a BBQ perfect idea for a busy bank holiday in the sun. We qued for food for not even 5 minutes and were soon able to relax in the sun! I will defiantly return!
Lovely place , food was ace , pig roast , burgers etc , huge fire and fireworks display , and fantastic music from Bang On The Ear
Such a lovely pub - wish it was my local. We were made to feel very welcome, and the dogs too. Open fire, massive menu choice, delicious quality food and a pint brewed on site. I will be back soon!
The Carvery is the best ....proper home cooked food, great big slices of meat cooked to perfection �
One of the best Brit Stops - a large local pub with really friendly, helpful staff. We both had ribeye steak cooked perfectly and enjoyed traditional desserts too. Road signs warned of flooding but we were able to get through though could only walk a small way along the canal path, will come back to walk further in the summer

I was sitting under the canal bridge along the towpath of the Stratford canal getting out of the rain when I thought, I wonder where a pub is. Only this one and less than 50m away with solid reviews. The mad dash was made.
Good friendly atmosphere when I got in, had to have a cider of course. Nice too!
I’d walked from Birmingham to here, about 25km or so, so I was looking for good food.
Certainly not disappointed, I had the Ultimate Burger. Chilli, Jalapeños and double burger. Chips and salad made for a huge meal, I didn’t share!
Friendly staff, not bad prices and good food
Beat that!
Sunday carvery and dessert for three. Excellent value. Food was well cooked and there was plenty of meat on each plate . The staff were friendly , helpful and welcoming even though it was busy. This was our first visit and we’ll definitely be back. Plenty of parking too.
Great local pub with a garden overlooking the local canal serving up local cider. Famous for bikers visiting on their journeys.
A firm favourite for the locals too
Great country pub. Exactly what you need after a long walk, good food and huge portions at a very reasonable price.
1st time there nice looking establishment can tell its a locals pub didn't try the food so can't comment on that but the bartender was very welcoming and the one I spoke to outside she was lovely as well. Would go there again when the weather is good and busier. Definitely would recommend people to go there if looking for a good countryside pub. My friend who took me had been there before and really enjoyed herself.
On this occasion we had the hot pork sandwich with salad, coleslaw and crisps. Very tasty and good value. There is a very good selection of daily specials which seem reasonably priced. The standard menu items however have been available for some time especially the 50+ menu. Don't get me wrong, we have tried most of them over the years and they have always been good. Just think it may time to offer something new. As always staff are all friendly and courteous. Well done 👍
Pleasant and quiet country pub by the canal. Decent Sunday roast. I'd go again.
I had my daughters Christening party here for a light buffet . The owners, Alan & Pam went above and beyond to accommodate me even with it being a very busy Sunday serving carveries they let me use part of the pub to hold the function. . The pub is very traditional , the food was very good value and tasty. If you want a proper English pub in a lovely setting would highly recommend! Thanks so much for all your hard work .
We went for breakfast, it was really quiet so can't say what the regulars are like. We took the dog and there were plenty of bowls and an outdoor tap. Loads of parasols. The food was nice but the smell coming from the kitchen was divine!!! We could have stayed for lunch aswell 😆 service was lovely really welcoming
Lovely friendly canal side pub. Went with my friend Bob, for the Sunday carvery which is excellent. A good variety of meats, veg and all the trimmings. We had the small plate which is plenty big enough!
A great choice of ciders (it is a cider house...) The Black Rat is a good old fashioned scrumpy, dry and delicious 😋
It's popular with bikers (used to go with my friend on his BMW) and of course anybody else. Lovely friendly staff and a nice clean pub and toilets!
Definitely recommended.
One of the best pubs we've stopped at so far with Britstops, great selection of beers and ciders, beautiful location, but the best by far were the staff working the bar and the locals sitting at it. Super friendly, engaging, and patient with us. We had a fantastic night!
Okay beer wye valley usually the best, great cider, black rat cider on the day. Bank holiday band and out door entertainment in combination with a canal walk.
Excellent service staff really helpful, nice food and the Christmas decorations in the main foyer are stunning. Summertime it's lovely outside sitting by the canal. Live bands and bbq. Highly recommended.
Visited last Sunday for the carvery. Unlike some other pubs I've visited, the food was well cooked, nicely presented by friendly staff and proved to be very good value.
Great Gluten Free options. Staff are very aware of allergies and kitchen cross contamination practices. Been twice recently and has not disappointed.
Excellent food home cooked
