About us

A boat yard was established by Townhead Bridge in 1866, where canal barges and ships called puffers were built. These small steamships, known as Kirky Puffers, were made famous by the books and TV programme featuring Para Handy and his puffer the Vital Spark.

You'd reckon with it being the coldest week of the year so far they'd at least make use of the log fire..... clearly not. I've been sat here for over an hour and zero 🔥 Even joking with the staff and they didn't take me up on it😳

Very nice place. Booths with usb chargers and dimmer switches for the lights. Felt disappointed in the attitude of one member of staff but ffs I'm not that great a customer either so let's all hug

Frequent visits as living nearby. Especially welcoming this time of year with a lovely log fire burning away. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Food's great and the drinks are plentiful. Can't beat the prices either.

I am totally disappointed breakfast was cold, not sure what the black pudding was. Cold fried eggs just left it. Definitely not up to the standards

Good place for a meet up & a blether with friends or somewhere to grab a coffee ( free refillable choices) & a bite to eat, when your on your own. Prices are still reasonable.
