This place has the potential to be truly amazing, based primarily on its location. Situated right along the Shropshire Union Canal, the outdoor seating provides an excellent spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine while watching the canal boats cruise by. On top of this, visitors have a direct view of Peckforton Castle up on the hillside. The downside to this pub is a combination of poor service and low-quality food. The menu gives the impression that they raided the local grocery store and put it all on the menu. When asking about the day’s dessert options, you’ll be overloaded with about 15 different cakes and then ice cream, of which they only carry Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry. No idea whether it could be local, such as from Cheshire Farms, or just some generic brand. I have been here on two occasions, both were beautiful days and a great chance to sit outdoors along the canal. However I have been underwhelmed by the service. If this place made an effort(landscaping, service and food-wise), they could be an excellent place for lunch or dinner, or even a drink.

Friendly staff, outdoor play area for children, camping and caravan area, food served indoor and outdoor in lovely seating areas. An excellent place to pitch up for the night if you’re walking the Sandstone Trail in two days.
