Lovely setting. On the river with lots of tables outside. The food was okay although the veg was dry and the cheesy mash was Smash.

Would recommend for a relaxed evening with a few drinks by the river.

This used to be a lovely pub called The Fisheries . They had  live blues music on Sundays. It is now part of a chain and is therefore an identikit cardboard food pub 

Ps It's by the canal not the river. Coppermill Lock is nearby. The longboats are FAR more interesting than the pub!

Although Eddie is correct and it is an identikit pub, the setting is very pleasant. The gammon, egg & chips was good (hard to mess up to be honest) but the lager was flat  I'd probably still go back with friends for an evening sitting by the river having a few drinks as it's close by.
I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

quite agree,although some of these places can be identikit,its often the individual chef that make a good feed.

Trouble with BJM is the access road, it's dreadful.  I went to Edwins one night and decided to carry on the same road and have a look at BJM, and when you get to the bottom there's barely room to turn around to go back up again, and as the new owner of BJM you'd be responsible for resurfacing the road too.   It's a shame cos it's a beautiful setting, but gets no passing trade, and there isn't enough canal trade to make it work.  I think, sadly, it will always be a white elephant.

we like the coy carp but on two separate occasions we had problems, one was once my wife had a jacket Potatoe which  had not been cooked the middle was still raw and on another occasion there was five of us we all had our main meal and had orded the desert, 3/4 hour later it had not turned up so when we asked them they had not put the order though, then one of my friends had ordered a vanilla flavoured desert and they come back to say they only had chocolate, my friend said no thanks anyway when we did get all our deserts an hour later they gave my friend the chocolate one he turned down, when he said he did not order it they said well theres an order for it on this table...

 

one other thing that I get very wind up over is that when you order something its  50/50 if they have it...so you always need to look down the menu and order something eles.

(as bad as Monty Phoyon and the cheese shop)
