Been visiting the Kings Lock frequently for some time now, and I can honestly say that this is one of the friendliest, liveliest and welcoming pubs i’ve ever visited! The staff are brilliant, there are often events scheduled to appeal to all different people, great selection of real ales!! I’d give more stars if I could!! The only downside (which has nothing to do with the pub itself) is a small group of regular customers who seem to cause a lot of stress to staff and other customers, often after drinking very large quantities of alcohol. It is typical pub politics which can be found anywhere, but it really can put a downer on an otherwise brilliant vibe.
At last! The pub has been bought from a chain by three friends who are passionate about ales, lagers and house cocktails. This is a true pub in an enviable canal side location and deserves and is getting huge support from locals and visitors alike. There is a food offer that complements having a glass or two but it’s not aimed as a restaurant. I wish the new team every success and I for one will certainly call in when my boat passes through
We spotted this canal side pub on our way back to our caravan and decided to stop for a drink. This pub specialises in a great range of cask beers. There is a friendly welcome and atmosphere inside and a large grass area at the front directly alongside the canal lock. A great place for boat watching.
Honestly may just be the best pub I've ever been too, rotating cask ales so you'll never get bored, great food can have a great bite to eat with your pint, staff are amazing always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get great service, Honestly can't think off a better pub then this

We parked our narrow boat up this evening and we’re desperate to find a friendly warm place to eat and The Kings Lock didn’t disappoint. Great food and drink. There was a real buzz in the pub, the music was fab Northern Soul!!! Service was super polite and professional. Thanks Matt!!
Great pub next to the canal. Four real ales. Not serving food but said that we could bring in fish and chips from the chip shop opposite that is the best on the whole canal network. A great combination. .
No music !!! FANTASTIC lively friendly pub prices were very good nice way to end a canal walk Limited food menu I expect due to size of pub and kitchen. Will definitely be back for a return drink
The food was amazing! All compliments to the chef. It's such a nice place too, definitely would recommend for family's or even just friends!

Gorgeous breakfast and great coffee in a really cosy but bright pub. Lovely location for a Sunday morning walk along the canals.
Top notch breakfast. Piping hot. Served quickly. Couldn’t rate it highly enough. Veggie one was tops!
