Samuel Barlow Bar Restaurant

The restaurant had no chefs working and only offered cold sandwiches. The toilets were disgusting. The customers were mainly boaters who live on the marina, making the atmosphere unwelcoming.

I want to caution anyone who may be thinking of driving to the Samuel Barlow that I recently received a £279 court fine for unknowingly parking on private land. I have visited the Samuel Barlow a few times for coffee or a beer, usually walking my dogs down the canal. However, on this occasion, I made the mistake of driving and it ended up being the most expensive coffee I've ever had. The car park is very isolated and I was not aware that I needed to pay to park there. There were no signs or warnings indicating that payment was required. I believe the pub should train its staff to inquire about parking payment with customers to avoid situations like mine in the future. Overall, this experience has deterred me from returning to the establishment.

I stopped by for some drinks after a long day of walking. The inside of the restaurant was cozy and I was able to warm up from the terrible British weather. The staff was lovely and the pint was delicious. What more could anyone ask for?

What a fabulous Sunday afternoon visit. Traditional roast Beef Yorkshire pudding dinner. Beef off the top quility served to perfection. Fresh array of in season vegetables cooked aldanta. Presentations perfect, staff welcoming and there for every request. Ambience comforting clean toilets, plus great views of the marine. I am a retired restarant public house licence and I have to take my hat off tho the chief and staff. I shall be broadcasting to all this is a superb place to enjoy top quality food and service. Well done I eat out 4 times a week but this is simply the best. .

Family had great steaks tonight off the grill but the mushrooms weren't good and was recognised by the chef so gave some onion rings to make up for it. Not so good for those who dont like them! Unfortunately the cumin flatbread was brittle unlike the last time and didnt taste of anything although the Halloumi was fine on the salad. Would love to see the fkatbe8on the sandwich option minus the salad but with halloumi. Great to be back again though
