A traditional single roomed pub that takes its name from a canal basin that was once adjacent. The walls are decorated with old pictures of the town and a map of the old Melton - Oakham canal whose workers this establishment once served. The pub is always busy with mature drinkers and the local darts teams who enjoy good conversation with their pint. Branch pub of the year 2012 and 2013.

Historic Interest

Named due to its proximity to a canal basin (now filled in) which was part of the Oakham - melton canal now disused.
