Be careful everyone. After going toThe Slipway for a Sunday lunch treat (spending over £50) We have received a parking fine for £100! We could not find the terminal to enter our car reg. It's not signposted nor is it in the reception as stated on the fine document. None of the staff made us aware it was at the bar. We were told it was behind the bar when we went to check after receiving the fine. So it's not on view, not in the reception area and not really accessible to customers. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour to screw money out of people who are already giving the pub their money
Went the Slipway with family and friends for my husbands birthday tea which was fantastic. All the staff on that night couldn't have done enough for us, they were fabulous and made it a really great occasion. Special mention to the chef who produced 18 meals which everyone enjoyed. The younger ones in the group loved the play area and ice creams in different flavours.
Changed owners time after time.. latest reincarnation looks good. Food competitively priced and a good choice. Pleasant canal side location. Also does day boat trips. Only drawback is the car park.... its big yet they want you to pay if you are not a pub customer. Killed our morning walk followed by lunch as the pub wasn't open. We don't all have smart phones !!!!!
We had a great time at this charming tavern located by the canal. We stopped in for drinks while we waited for our Lancashire Canal Cruise, the "Hot Pot Cruise." It was lovely sitting at the new outdoor tables by the canal. The food looked fantastic, and we were not disappointed - the Hot Pot was delicious. We can't wait to come back for Sunday lunch!

Called for drinks, it was a lovely day and the sun was shining so we sat outside. The drinks were served in reasonable time and they had some cocktails on tap. I tried the espresso martini and a passion fruit cocktail, both were very pleasant and served in a nice glass.
It's a work in progress with refurbishments ongoing. But a terribly poured pint of Guinness can be less easily accepted. It's okay, and I imagine it's really pleasant outside in the sunshine, but there are nicer bars a short walk away in either direction.
The food and friendly service more than make up for the outside appearance. Don’t let the fact it looks like it’s being renovated outside stop you from trying this one for a drink and bite to eat in a beautiful location next to the canal
My mate Dan was singing there last sunday. Most enjoyable, Dont drink alcohol, Lemo/ blackcurrant. Staff and folk in there were lovely and polite.10/10 nice views ducks and canal, great for the kids too as swings bouncy castle for them

We live local and was hoping for a new experience from previous landlords. Our impression was of a community club/sure start/drop in centre. Nice if that’s what you want but not for us thank you.
Just called in for drinks after walk along canal towpath
