Beautiful Riverside Garden

Nestled on the banks of the River Avon, surrounded by leafy loveliness, you’ve discovered one of South Gloucestershire’s finest spots. Our welcoming pub is both family-friendly and dog-friendly, offering oodles of space for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re relaxing at one of our enviable tables by the water’s edge or basking in the sunshine on our elevated terrace (the ultimate sun-trap) you’ll feel right at home.
Whether you choose to paddle or pedal to the pub, we’ve got you covered. Pontoons opposite the pub provide easy access to the river, and if you’re arriving by bike, there’s ample space to secure it safely outside our main entrance.

We’re perfectly situated for those exploring the local area, with scenic walks along the River Avon and the surrounding countryside leading straight to our door. After a leisurely stroll, there’s no better place to rest and recharge.

Our garden offers ample seating to suit every preference.

Pub Walks

If you love pub walks, this one’s for you. The walk from our pub to our neighbouring sister pub, the Lock Keeper in Keynsham, is a picturesque must-do riverside route. Following the River Avon, this tranquil trail meanders past Hanham Lock and through the serene surroundings of Conham River Park. With stunning waterside views and abundant wildlife, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a leisurely stroll (around 1.5 miles) between two charming riverside pubs.
