Plenty of parking. Great location by the canal. Big garden which is lovely on a nice day. Big inside. With moorings and boaters passing through, it's usually fairly busy, but service is quick and friendly. Draught beer is good, Pedigree and their own named brew. Big portions, reasonably priced. As I write this I'm wondering why I don't buy a boat and live right by the Junction Inn

Lovely pub in a beautiful setting! We ordered two baguettes and a kids chicken bites meal, and they were all lovely! I had the steak and onion and there wasn't a single bit of gristle or fat, and it was perfectly cooked. My son had the chicken bites which were pieces of proper chicken and the coating on them was lovely. Quick and friendly service, and clean loos too! Lovely surroundings, we had a nice walk along the canal after lunch and watched a few go by. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that cobwebs (the little hut in the beer garden) remains closed, I have so many memories of lunch here as a child followed by a visit to cobwebs to see what weird and wonderful thing I could bring home 😂

A family and dog friendly pub. The food is typical pub fare, and a good variety too. The fireplace is a lovely place to sit in winter and the beer garden in summer. If you’re on a canal boat, this is definitely a place to stop for lunch or dinner.

Lovely place and setting. My partner's meal was good, mine was ok, pretty standard, the chips were a bit dry and the gammon slightly overdone but each to their own personal taste. Took a while for the food to arrive considering their was only 2 other customers in the restaurant and for some reason the Chardonnay tasted of chemicals. Fair play though, we were not charged for the wine. Asked for the bill and after waiting 15 mins, went and paid at the bar. Not huge issues but just a few small points. Still well worth 4 stars though.

24 May to 30 May 2021 whilst needing to be around Norbury junction for our narrowboat So good to visit the Junction Inn again and the various times we visited to have drinks and meals, the staff were all very friendly, welcoming and attentive...perfect 10/10!! So glad to see them doing well and a fantastic canal side pub right on the Norbury junction which is always lively with Narrowboats, ducks and swans... A big shout out and thank you to you all at the Junction Inn April 2021 We came back to Norbury Junction and had to pop over to The Junction Inn again most definitely! Our narrowboat friends joined us for lunch a few weeks ago and yet again, we had four delicious meals outside on the tables. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, our prawn sandwiches and steak baguettes were freshly prepared, cooked perfectly and deliciously superb!!! Thanks for such a lovely lunch and drinks and to all the staff and chef/s, well done and thank you. See you again at the end of May no doubt as we'll be back for our narrowboat blacking at Norbury Wharf Ltd! Until then, take care, stay safe and keep well September 2020 Four of us had a meal here on the 1st of September 2020 and all four meals were really good along with the house white Chardonnay and the Joules pint was perfect too. The social distancing was easy to follow and we sat outside watching the narrowboats going by on the canal. The food didn't take too long to arrive and we certainly enjoyed all of our meals very much...cajun chicken/sausage, egg and chips/ lamb shank and the house Bloo Moon burger (?)... The staff were friendly and welcoming and made up for the slightly outdated decor of the inside. Maybe it'll feel a bit more homely and cosy next time... However, the location and surrounding area of Junction Inn is very pretty and being right alongside the canal certainly adds to the idyllic ambience. We'll definitely be back again sometime soon and a big thank you to the all the staff too for our enjoyable experience...
