Weiterlesen Very cozy pub right next to the canal. We went through the locks and moored the boat nearby. Being vegan, we expected to be faced with the same frozen veg patty everyone seems to have, but couldn't have been more wrong! They have a number of freshly-made vegan options that all sounded delicious. We started with red pepper hummus with warm flat bread, which was fresh and tasty. We had the vegan pot pies, which were delicious, with a crispy freshly-baked crust. They came with some of the best chips we've had in months, and a side of green beans, broccoli, and peas, and a pot of gravy. They offer intriguing sounding vegan deserts as well, but we were both stuffed, so maybe another time. Everyone working there was pleasant, and seemed to be genuinely happy. I heard my praise for the food immediately passed along to the chef, which was gratifying. The server was friendly, attentive, and helpfully recommended the pie when told we were vegan. On the way out, I spoke to a very cordial gentleman who I assume was the manager, and told him how much we appreciated the vegan selections, and how good everything was. I'm posting photos of their current menu, along with their extraordinary holiday menus (including lots of good vegan options for all the courses! . Highly recommended, by a couple of damp, cold boaters in out of the rain! Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips
