“ Gorgeous place right on the river, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We went for breakfast, great portions and quality. Staff were rally friendly. I can imagine this place being a lovely place to come in the warmer months, sat outside having a cold one. I recommend a stop over here if ur passing. ”
“ Been coming here for many years and it has never disappointed. I don't remember ever having an alcoholic drink - pots of tea and hot chocolates being the norm on cold mornings with the kids. This outing was kid-free and was early so a fantastic bacon and egg ciabatta was had. The bread had a great texture and the filling was tasty. Perfect view from the canalside seating area too. Staff were friendly. One of BOAs better pubs/diners. ”
