Although essentially a cafe, this very popular venue sells two real ales from local brewers. Food, including the hearty (Boatman's) breakfasts, is served from early the morning and comes highly recommended. Originally an old canal side cottage, the interior is decorated with bric-a-brac and old signs in a number of small rooms. Outside there are tables alongside the Kennet & Avon in the canal-side gardens and also three enclosed dining rooms (summer houses) as well as a narrowboat, Note - liable to close two hours later Mon- Fri during School holidays
