Hi! I have recently been in the RED LION. My opinion of the food there is rather poor and could not personally recommend this pub. Went to the WHITE LION tonight and had deep fried camenbert. Niceky served up on the plate and looked attractive but the food was not hot, only a bit more than warm, so was disspoin ting to me. I agree, THE ANGLERS RETREAT does sedrve the best food in the area and has a good selection of beers and also has Thatchers Cider on draught. The CANAL JUNCTION is rather expensive, with jacket popatoes with a filling at around £4.95 + depending on the filling. It would appear that they are trading on the old reputation when there was a curry night and many other interesting things. Most of the boaters use the Anglers Retreat which has the best atmosphere IMHO. Regards ~Allan~
