The Narrow Boat At Weedon - Daventry

We stayed for 1 night in a chalet at the rear of the carpark, there was 1 issue on arrival of which was delt with instantly. The beds were comfy we had a twin there was no noise from the pub. We ate at the pub that evening starting with lemon and garlic chicken wings, yum followed by lamb chops on a bed of mediterranean veg and cous-cous, so much flavour in the cous-cous and the chops, fabulous, would have again in a heart beat. The staff at the pub had a smile and time for us, an exceptional stay at a very fair price.

Waited forever to get our meals. Once they arrived we were very disappointed!!! The steaks were over cooked and not very big portions for two grown men. The chicken and chorizo skewers were incredibly dry. Couldn’t even wash the food down with any drinks because of the queue at the bar. We certainly won’t be returning anytime soon or recommencing it to any of our clients from our marina which is very local to the pub! A real shame as the garden is a lovely feature over looking the canal.

Popped in for a drink on the way home. Julian was there and gave us a lovely welcome. The latte was lovely made. The pub is spotlessly clean. It is a lovely cosy pub.

Lovely sunny day for a mid week lunch so we sat outside on the attractive patio under a large umbrella. Unfortunately that overlooks the A5 rather than the canal, but if you would be happy with a bench rather than a chair there are plenty of those overlooking the canal. We ordered lunch which came quite quickly. The food was okay, nothing special just basic pub grub which we enjoyed. Price wise it’s a bit over the top for what you get and with a little thought they could easily make improvements that would justify the prices. Overall we had a nice lunch and would be happy to go there again.

Under new management, the welcome at this pub could not be more friendly. One of the best canal side pubs we’ve found, we’re always impressed by a pub managed by the chef. They live and die by the quality of the food and this food is good quality. I mean really good pub food. The ale is good too. They not only need your support but they deserve it too. We have just visited for the second time in a week whilst passing on the boat (it’s a Narrowboat Julian) and were equally impressed the second time round.
