A fair sized pub which retains two separate rooms divided by the bar. The vault or public bar is part tiled/part carpeted and has a pool table, dartboard and a TV. The smarter lounge side is carpeted, has a raised area at one end, a brick fireplace and overlooks the canal. Outdoor picnic benches also look onto the canal lock. Various events were advertised such as karaoke, a disco, reggae night, a beer raffle and so on, so the pub appears to have a community focus.
Two handpumps in each room although the vault pair were unclipped. Doom Bar and Lymestone Stone Faced however I was advised that the Lymestone wasn't ready so it had to be a quick half of Doom Bar. I didn't see any indications of food but I cannot be certain.

The Blue Bell doesnt open at lunchtime Mon-Thur so we popped in the Canal Tavern after working up Heartbreak Hill.There was a pump clip for Brakespear Honey Bee but the landlord explained that the barrel hadnt settled which was honest enough.Had a swift Stella instead but no reason to stay any longer.No sign of lunchtime food and the pub was very quiet.Publican missing a trick at lunchtime when a lot of boats pass by ,and with the Blue Bell not open.Pub seemed clean and no problem with locals.
