A popular lock-side pub on the Grand Union Canal re-opened in September 2023 with new publican. As you enter the pub from the road, the snug is to your left, offering comfortable seating and a quiet place to drink and chat. The archway facing you leads to the main bar with a variety of standard and high tables and chairs. Three Cask Marque-accredited real ales, are offered from the extensive Punch Taverns lists, plus a selection of wines and spirits; tea and coffee also available. The main bar has a dart board and a large screen TV showing sports. And this bar leads to the well-appointed covered smoking area and the canal lock side garden, both of which have been well refurbished. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

Historic Interest

A pub here dates from the 1840s, but Historic England dates the current building as 1901.
