   Great good, lovely friendly staff and amazing setting. Plus we sat at a cosy table in the window. Perfect.

   A delightful setting surrounded by the estuary with wildlife in abundance. The pub is cosy, friendly and serves an enormous and excellent roast lunch. So many veg- roasted carrots, parsnips and potatoes, red cabbage, leeks, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pud. It was brilliant. And a nice walk back down the towpath to settle it!

   Excellent Sunday roast with the family. Good beef perfectly cooked, and excellent service and very good value. We used to come regularly in the middle of winter for Sunday roasts. £2.0o a head in those days but it was 45 years ago!! Set menu Beef/ pork/lamb, rotated each week, and jugs of beer on the table!

   The food was incredible - such a tasty Sunday Roast. Friendly service - relaxed atmosphere - will definitely reject this experience.

   We had a wonderful lunch with friends on what was a cloudy Monday in October. I booked ahead as we had 3 dogs and the forecast was variable. We walked along the canal and arrived to a cheery welcome - sat by the river for drinks, watching the boats and the World go by. Bliss. We then ventured inside where we had the perfect table (in the window) reserved for us. The window table are great if you have a group or dogs because you can be part of the pub atmosphere but can tuck yourselves / the dogs out if the way. The food was immense. We all had something different and the quality of all of the dishes was of a very high standard. Great fish, chunky chips and mushy peas; a sublime chowder; a huge slated ploughman’s (even though they’d run out of pork pies they replaced this with a warm sausage roll! Yummy!) and a Bean burger with all the trimmings. We were able to eat great food and have cool drinks whilst catching up with our friends in a warm, friendly atmosphere before heading back out along the canal for a (slower) saunter along the canal. Perfect. Thank you.

   Really impressed!! Made a mistake with numbers of people on booking table and staff were quick to do a bit of switching around and find us a bigger table. All of us went for the roast and everyone said it was one of the nicest we had had in years. Fact it is so kid and dog friendly made it even easier for us all to get together for the first time in years. Keep doing what you are doing Turf team....as long as i can still get a table for another roast.

   What a lovely place. Food and service was excellent. Well worth the walk to it...in fact, the walk is a good reason of going anyway (on a lovely day) the views are well worth going for on their own, but you would be disappointed if you hadn't booked when you got there and couldn't enjoy a meal as well because it was full! We parked south in the church carpark (make sure you put parking donation in) and it was a dry [cycle and foot] path to get there. The north road was flooded and I wasn't risking driving through it, but the south carpark option was fine - only 7mins away near Powderham. It was an hours drive for us to get there, but will definitely go again. RW

    First visit and a fantastic experience. Unique setting and was worth the 10 minute drive walk from the car park. Service and food cannot fault
