Guide To The Lock Inn

A very cute pub I happen to pop into while passing through to Dudley from Bewdley.

The service was really nice and accomodating, the bartender made me a lemon and lime drink as lemon,lime and bitters wasn’t something they could do (must be an Aussie drink 😂)

There was plenty of seating outside but minimal inside.

Spot on! Tried the tearoom in my journey to Holyhead. Lovely friendly staff and excellent food. Great value too.

I nearly missed the requirement to register my car licence but rectified that in time!!

Lovely atmosphere, easy to find and nice to watch the river/boats (if you’re lucky!).

Staff were nice, little bit of a queue to order but wasn’t too bad.

Food was probably the biggest let down here, bland, rushed, and overall not something you’d go out for.

Decided to try here as I drive past it twice a day to get to work and back, after spending ages deciding where to eat.

I saw on the website, that they sold steaks, so this swung me to go, but I was gutted when I got there that the steaks seem to be a Tuesday night special that you have to pre-book; I instead opted for the fish and chips, my usual go to if steaks aren’t served.

The fish was huge, the chips although chunky, were cut in a way I’ve never seen before, which seemed to make them more tasty. The fish was delicious! I’m not a fan of batter, but managed half of it with batter which is good for me. Nice little quaint pub, with a good beer garden that overlooks the lock on the canal, and is very interesting to watch when a barge uses the lock, which we got to watch just as we were arriving.

After finishing our food, we stayed for another drink, and we could hear the kitchen staff singing along to Zach Bryan; Something in the orange, brilliant song, Sang very well by one of the kitchen staff, just topped it for us. The guy behind the bar, was very friendly and helpful, along with the girl that served our food. Thank you, will visit more frequently!

I put it a 4 went to the cafe as couldn’t walk to far as disabled. Didn’t know I had to enter reg into the machine as first time there. I did say it was our first time hear and know one mentioned it. So will wait for the fine to come through the post then take it back as i phoned the pub and was told to bring it in and speak to a lady called Steph, Food was lovely and a great selection of cakes. I will change star review if and when I get a fine through the post. Thanks
