Situated fabulously, can get busy. Hence service stars. Do try the sandwiches, very nice with an ale at the side of the canal. Little play area that we couldn't get the grandson off! Small footy area with goals. And spacious parking. Very nice. Remember to book, we just dropped in but still were sat and fed, after a time. Must go place.
Good parts: the pies were absolutely delicious. The steak and Stilton had the most tender meat I’ve ever had in a pie and my friend had the chicken bacon and leek which she said was great. The pub side of the restaurant is so cosy however we were the other side in the restaurant which is a bit soulless- next to the swinging kitchen door. Service - quite bizarre I’m not sure our waitress is cut out for the hospitality life - forgot to put our order through so we waited an hour for our pies- no apologies, no offer of drinks/ a starter to compensate (I’ve worked in hospitality for years and that’s the bare basic!). In contrast the table next to us had 3 courses in the time we waited… Warm treacle tart was delicious- had with custard instead of ice cream. So would highly recommend for food but request a table in the pub side and service could be a lucky dip!
This pub has a great atmosphere; it was cosy and inviting and full of people. When we arrived, the fire was lit and we were lucky enough to be sat right next to it. I went for the beef and stilton pie which comes with chips, some steamed veg and a big jug of gravy. All the pies are homemade, and at £15, very reasonably priced. The rest of the menu was extensive with plenty of other lighter options if you don't want to commit to a big old pie! My dog was right at home here too. It seems popular with dog walkers as there were quite a few other fluffy companions in the pub at the time. This is a great spot for wholesome, fairly priced food in a lovely setting.
Called in on recommendation of the marina we collected our narrow boat from, the pub was amazing! Although busy, staff were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, steak and stilton pie was incredible. A good range of beers to chose from, everything reasonably priced. Loved it so much we ate there again on our return journey, more pies were enjoyed, the following day we collect frozen pies to take home with us. Would highly recommend this charming country pub, with plenty of space inside and out, a great atmosphere, and really interesting history to the place.
A truly wonderful pub. Great atmosphere, wonderful choices of ales, and homemade pies that are out of this world. Found this whilst moving a boat and would certainly recommend a visit. If you're on a boat then there are good moorings and a great place to stop before, or after, Lapworth! You can even buy the pies frozen or chilled to take away. Staff were very pleasant and friendly and pub had a lovely atmosphere. I have recommended the steak and ale pie only because it was the only one I had - but all of the other ones sounded equally inviting.
