Decent looking pub well described below. Only one run down table canalside but plenty seating out front. I fared better with the ale than JAQPTIO with a decent HPA on offer. Glad to have called in.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Boat Inn
Canal-side pub that doesn't somehow make as much of its location as it might, despite having a narrow waterfront terrace (although this is also north-facing which I guess doesn't help). Anyway, it also retains two completely rooms, a busy but plain public bar with the pool table and a bigger, quieter, more traditional lounge. Unfortunately, I arrived too early in the week to catch the intermittent real ale (looking to be Lancaster Bomber at the weekend), so made do with a quick Greene King East Coast IPA (£3.60).

I was expecting alot from this pub, I thought it would be a good blend of country near town, but it really is quite awful.
Cut off from the new(ish) main road it is now trapped down a dead end between the canal and the industrial area adjoining. The interior is in need of a refurb, the lounge has been patched up with ill fitting seat covering and furniture. Its kind of made out for large parties of people eating, meaning on my visit the 5 or so people inside, sitting at separate tables had filled the largish area, making it uncomfortable. We sat in one corner where the trad pub carpet was covered with slug trail slime.
Unfriendly, the owner advised there was no real ale, he had one but hadn't put it on.
The menu looked ok, but the slug trails meant I wasn't interested in eating here.
All looked like it had seen better days and it had all but given up.
