Always a great bar but the absolute best in summer. Amazing views of the lock. Great service, food and beers.

I really enjoyed my visit to The Big Lock Pub & Restaurant. The service was really good from the two waitresses and the atmosphere was really warm and inviting. The food was suitable for its setting. However, I do wish there were more adventurous options on the menu, as I honestly did struggle to choose something, so I played it safe with a steak. The steak was cooked perfectly to how I asked. However, I do wish the cut was a little thicker. The chips and beef gravy for me were a big let down as the chips were not crispy, and the beef gravy tasted like an OXO cube in water. I would love to return, and I think I would. Hopefully, there are some new menu items that would be more appealing for me the next time.

We moored outside on the canal. We stopped on way back through because we had such a good meal the first visit. Both visits were Incredible. Service Is top notch from moment you walk in the door to moment you leave. Very attention tive staff but not overtook. Food was just Incredible. Steak pie was beautiful Cocktails were super as well. Very well made. Brownie was scrumptious. The detail in the service and food made it a very memorable visit.

Probably the most friendly and accommodating pub I’ve ever been to. Ordered the doggy dinner for our Labrador which he loved. The staff are incredibly kind and lovely, after breaking down and being stranded in the local area last night, coming here has cheered us up so much. Extra special thanks to our waitress, not sure of her name (lady with facial piercings) - she was excellent. Food was amazing too, 10/10 - thank you so much.

The food was impeccable. The staff very attentive & professional. Can’t wait to go back as I could have ordered everything off the menu. The Sunday lunch was the best I’ve ever had! It’s clear to see the new owners/management are doing an incredible job as the place was extremely busy. Usually when a place is as busy as this the food suffers but not at the Big Lock 😊
