Set in what is thought to be the old accommodation quarters for the workers of the Inclined Plane, it is decorated with traditional canal artefacts, has an open fire for the colder months and you will be served through a small hatch in the wall!
We welcome well behaved dogs (on leads please) and well behaved children and we also don’t mind if your boots are a bit muddy too! Dog treats are available and we also have a selection of human treats in the form of light meals, snacks and specials. For a sample of our menu, please click here.

The Red Lion, Great Bowden
Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Great Bowden, this charming country pub has recently been refurbished, with interiors and decor that beautifully reflect the surrounding countryside.
The team here are passionate about sustainability and high-quality meat. Where possible, they use meat from their own farm in Great Easton to create their dishes. Most ingredients are sourced locally as well, which means the menu can change slightly from day to day depending on what’s freshly available.
There’s also a great selection of drinks to enjoy alongside your meal — from real ales and lagers on tap to an impressive range of wines and champagne. Teas, coffees, and soft drinks are also available.
If you’re looking for something a little different, their cocktails and ever-popular spritzers are well worth exploring.
