Coy Carp, Uxbridge

Called in for Sunday lunch recently after a stroll along the canal and the food was good. Very busy pub with tables at a premium, even though it's a big place and has multiple levels plus outside seating. Although a booklet on the bar promised some interesting beers the actual offering was a bit uninspiring on my visit, Pride and Landlord if I remember correctly. Great location and the gardens at the back have nice views and are no doubt popular on Summer days. Currently has a rather tacky pink colour scheme.

Vintage Inns have greatly extended an earlier Victorian pub ,but the new interior has been fitted out with old timbers and a real fire close to the bar which creates a pleasing affect.Food dominates the agenda here and the multi roomed interior gets busy but it is possible to pop in for a beer from the modest selection of GK IPA,6X and London Pride which were drinkable.Food quality fine but this place wont lift the spirits of a pub traditionalist despite the interesting situation between the fast flowing stream and canal.
